Drum and bass parts don&#8217;t seem to be playing together at all&#8230; I don&#8217;t feel the solidity of the rhythm section.  For me if the groove is not at least somewhat solid I can&#8217;t hear anything else.  Sounds like too many instruments are competing for &#8216;front of mix&#8217;.  This is where the vocals should rest just about the accompaniment.  There seems to be too much going on in the song and not everything is jelly or relating together to my ear.  Especially near the end, it seems like everyone is jamming&#8230;. I would keep my basic tracks basic and have 1 or 2 &#8216;solo&#8217; type ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Bill DakeSong: PHDReviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)Positive Comments: Nice intro.
