Wonderful.

"Believer (Wet Cement Mix)" is the type of song that I've always been wanting to hear.
It's a melodic, melancholic, dramatic, sensitive, deep, childish, dreamy, warm, fragile but truely danceable piece of electro-house. A masterpiece of instrumentation and composition in an evolutive 10 minutes trip that almost makes me cry at each time, especially when this beautiful "merry-go-round" melody comes after several minutes.

Not the same "electro-house" thing that you heard on every dancefloor in 2005, but an inspired and personal work of art.

I repeat : Wonderful.

"I love Asphalt" is way not as good, because it is more like this much-heared "electro-house thing" that I just talked about, so a lot more dancefloor oriented, but it really isn't bad. It's principally based on a strong beat, with a noisy snare drum, and a vicious acid bassline that grows, grows and grows until the long awaited break comes, stands for some seconds, prepares you for the following, and finally lets this damned fat beat come back even stronger with this damned fat bassline and a lot of other headspinning elements which grow, grow, grow to the final point.

It's maybe "only" a dancefloor track, but the job is done perfectly.

This 12" so becomes essential.
