Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Believe (ft. CoriAnder)

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Nice sound, has a real Zero 7 vibe

Constructive Comments: Nice vocal but some of the distorted lead bass is a little loud in the mix and needs bringing down as its drowning the rest of the track, especially at the end, you will see this just looking at the waveform.

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: Hero Bed

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Nice backing music

Constructive Comments: recording of mix is far too low and a bit on the “wet” side, needs to be tighter.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: sufidance

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Well recorded

Constructive Comments: Felt it had far to many different styles so lost direction for me. Started like an Orbital track and then there was electric rock guitar and then jazz guitar. Unique but not sure it has market potential. Recording wad good though.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Quentin Don’t Surf

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Nice background music.

Constructive Comments: Your recording levels are way too low ! the mix is very quite and needs bringing up (The overall mix)

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: my electric face

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Very 80’s sounding pop (which is not a bad thing) Like the slightly comical lyrics.

Constructive Comments: Vocal is a little nasally and a bit deadpan, and I would try to make the chord change between the verse and chorus more obvious, maybe adding some brass hits and strings (or synth stabs etc) so it feels like it elevates rather than staying on the same level.

Broadjam Artist: Douglas Branson aka dB+1
Song: Late Land

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Piano riff is nice and could be expanded more

Constructive Comments: The gated Synth does not really fit and is a little over powering. To me it felt like lots of different genres of loops put together, also it does not move out of the same key for the whole track so get very repetitive.

Broadjam Artist: Vi: 00110110
Song: A tale of two souls (2016)

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Nice sound and would work well in film / tv. this came up under Electronic music which I do not think is the right genre for it

Constructive Comments: Maybe a little more variety in the melody etc as it feels like an except from a larger piece.

Broadjam Artist: Cec Cain
Song: Foggy Mind

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Recording is clean

Constructive Comments: The problem with this track is it stays on the same chord structure so gets very repetitive very quickly with very little variety to the melodies, Also the Sitar sound really does not fit with the track and class very strongly and almost sounds out of tune.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Break Free

Reviewer: Bill Dake

Positive Comments: Nice little folk tune with a positive message. Good recording, well balanced.

Constructive Comments: You might want to flesh out the lyrics, they’re pretty sparse on content. Most folk tunes tell a story. What are you soon to be free of? What will you do when you are free? This is a good start, just think it needs to be expanded upon.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Protilius Blues Song II

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Good energy and the harp sounds strong.

Constructive Comments: I’d re-record this with an actual bass guitar instead of a synth, which brings in an artificial feel.
