I am a record collector with love for nearly all kinds of music. In my spare time I spin records (mostly EDM) with my friends and try my hand at producing every now and then. Also, for some strange reason they're letting me vote around here nowadays. Go figure. Nothing in my collection is for sale, so don't even bother asking. And I most likely won't buy anything either (and if I will, I'll contact you). MP3 files aren't releases. Glaciation OrgaNik Al Azar | |

Pepe Deluxé - Spare Time Machine - 05-Nov-08 07:23 AM
Pepe Deluxé's third album won't let the listener off very easily. Created with an enormous amount of performers and self-styled instruments this album is about as far away from the debut album as possible, yet a completely logical follow-up for 2003's 'Beatitude'.
The tracks are a mish-mash of styles, bouncing and twisting and more often than not ending a completely different way they started. It certainly takes a few listens to get into - I must admit I didn't care for it much first - but when you get into it, you're really blown away.
It's rare to hear an album nowadays that completely throws away the rulebook and pop music conventions and does whatever the hell it feels like. This album sounds fresh, yet strangely vintage at the same time. A true modern classic.
Yello - Pocket Universe - 17-May-08 04:21 PM
If you only know Yello from novelty tracks like "Oh Yeah", this really is the album you should be listening to.
This album is filled with lush ambient soundscapes and trancey sounds, some of which didn't hit the mainstream until years later. There's also this constant dark undertone running throughout the album that makes it particularily special for me. I couldn't pick a favourite track off this album because to me it sounds like it's a piece of work that should be rated as a complete piece rather than picking apart the individual tracks.
This is undoubtedly one of my favourite albums of all time - the only thing I don't like is the album cover, but thankfully it's the music that matters.
Echano - Nothing To Live For - 10-Oct-06 07:47 AM
The original mix is a prime example of how uplifting trance used to be in its peak. It starts off very slow and keeps building up the momentum up until the break, which is nothing short of breathtaking. A massive, emotive break is followed by a huge main section... and as if that wasn't enough, the track keeps building in the main section as well up until the point where it all breaks down for the outro. Works perfectly bridging together progressive and uplifting trance in a DJ set.
The Gareth Emery remix, on the other hand, just takes a snippet of the melody of the original and does the usual by-the-numbers trance treatment to it. It's very uninspired and sounds like mr. Emery really didn't even put much effort in it, but it does the job on the dancefloor.
