Good arrangement and mix throughout.  It&#8217;s obvious that this was all done on a synth, and the sax just doesn&#8217;t sound right.  The other synth voices sound great.  Good repeat ending and fade out. Not sure I would classify this as lounge jazz.

Replacing the synth sax with a recording or sample of a real sax would be a big improvement in this song. The ending reminds me of a Tom Scott jazz sax song. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Nigel BarrettSong: The IslandReviewer: Denis K &amp; AtaPositive Comments: The deep synth bass and drums in the intro get this song off on the right foot.
