Over Me: terrific hooky tune that emotionally rocks like nobody's business! Love the yueqin! Steel Age: Lovely ambient experiment...reminds me Autechre but certainly your own.
Hey, John! Thanks for checking out my tunes and your comments. Loved The Most of Nothing. Top notch lyrics! Especially enjoyed Sunny Sunday, really fun light-hearted tune. Makes me feel like a drive. Your vocal style reminds me a little of Kevin Hearn from The Canadian band Barenaked Ladies (some of their more recent stuff). You might also like my friend, Minneapolis-based John P Koski, he's not on Broadjam, but He's on SoundCloud.
Hi, Jason! I seldom see a review that has something specific that makes me say, "Wow! He picked up on something that I can use! Fleshing out the EQ on the drums. That's worth a shot! I'm also pleased that you enjoyed the song, "Stay Here Now." The drums are played by a drummer but they're made into sound samples so they are like a half and half...half real half loop. Anyway, your assessments are spot on. Yes, the 70s flavor is correct: I wanted a sound that would be like the Carpenters and David Gates of Bread. As a reviewer, you're careful and give the songs a good listen and have valid things to consider. Thanks much!
Jason, thank you for taking the time to review Omni Play. I appreciate your comments, but I would like to add, the percussion was recorded at Studio Center Miami, by three time grammy award winning percussionist Ignacio Nunez. They weren't midi programmed as you thought. Also, not all music is written to be danceable. I recorded this with Weather Report and Pink Floyd in mind. It is a song to just sit back and listen to. Thank you for the positive comments.
I went back and re read your comments and I think you were talking about the Percussive instruments, not the percussion (Congas, tambourine, hand percussion, etc…..). So you were right. I record most of my songs, programming MIDI, then replace a lot (but not all) with real drums, guitars, percussion, etc… Then add the horns.
Hey Jason thanks again for another very thoughtful review on Living in the Trees! ~Jeff

Thanks Jason for the review on When Tomorrow Comes. Being a jazz musician, I like the extended solos, although it has been suggested to me to shorten them. There are jazz tunes and singers that do have extended solos. But I appreciate your input very much! Maybe next time around I'll try to force myself.
hey Jason I appreciate the review and your perspective of " love Shows The Way " I Always wondered about the change in lines From Rain To Song, Thanks Man And maybe I will try a female vocalist Best of Luck, Charles Bunting, www.seabeesounds.com
