This is so pleasant. I really enjoyed listening to this song. The middle(the development section, I suppose we can call it, at 1:00) is so beautiful in its simplicity and yet there&#8217;s this really refreshing &#8216;something&#8217; about how it blossoms from the first part of the piece. I like the addition of the B-3 voice later in the song. This is a nice piece of music. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>First, on the mix, find space for the instruments to live. It&#8217;s difficult, and I may be speaking out of line here, because creating an MP3 for use on this site can often mash things together in a way you never intended. My convention is to use a mastering plugin (Waves Linear EQ, Linear Phase Multi-band, LE Ultramaximizer) or similar to create pockets for each instrument. On the arrangement side, I would not use the organ in full chords, following the other instruments, but open 4ths and 5ths and single note that uses the Leslie speaker effect additionally. Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Chet NicholsSong: Desert ChristmasReviewer: Edmond AllmondPositive Comments: A beautiful, simple melody.
