shen Posted 2 July 2009 Author Share Posted 2 July 2009 11. Release The Tether – The Pineapple ThiefReminds me a bit of Tool maybe? Only going from memory of early teenage years, probably inaccurate. That comment did make me giggle If Tool ever did something with flutes and synths and as 'uplifting' as this, I'd be very very surprised sitting through these can become a bit of a chore at times. Yeah, I know what you mean. Glad you did find the time to review this and found something you liked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted 2 July 2009 Share Posted 2 July 2009 Sorry it's late Shen. Here goes anyway... 1. Mazurka – Abigail’s Ghost Not really worth commenting on, although it was a nice little intro which preceeded the next track. 2. Temple – Demians So far so good, liking the acoustic riff at the start. The bass is very tidy in it too. Steady if unspectacular, not bad at all. 3. Sane – Archive Definitely very Kasabian-esque for me, which is certainly not a bad thing. I'd listen to this one again and enjoy it definitely, I just can't help thinking only of Kasabian when hearing it though! Good track anyway, liked it a lot. 4. Introducing Palace Players – Mew Reminds me of somebody, but I'm really struggling to think who. I quite enjoyed it anyway, not a lot else to add due to the fact I was racking my brains trying to think who it reminded me of. Dammit Shen. 5. Moan (Trentemøller remix) – Trentemøller Again, another one I really liked. If a lot of their other stuff is like this then I may well indulge further into Trentemøller. Any particularly recommended albums to go by? Sounds like something that would have fitted well onto my own mix, so this gets much approval from me. 6. Dropp – Autechre I had to listen to this again as I totally forgot I was listening to it the first time. Just a bit weak really for me, not a great deal going on anywhere for it to really keep my attention. 7. 4 – Aphex Twin Great stuff once again here, brilliant track. 8. Waves Of Time – Nosound Much like track 6 really, although I'd go as far to say as even that one was more interesting than this. 9. Borgens Vor – Pure Reason Revolution A poor first couple of minutes for me, but loved it when it got interesting after that. A much better wake up than the last track, this one will probably stay in the library to listen to again eventually. 10. Abandoner – Steven Wilson Again, another one that didn't really keep my attention throughout the track at all. Nothing I'd probably ever choose to listen to again. 11. Release The Tether – The Pineapple Thief I remember these from your last mix actually, not bad. Interesting instrumental here, nothing really fancy that impressed me like Buckethead on Libertine's mix but it was alright nonetheless. 12. Dead Dogs An’ All Sorts – Oceansize I thought I may have heard this one before, but then realised I probably hadn't. Doesn't do a great deal for me if I'm honest, but I prefer it to some of the more inconspicuous tracks here on the mix. 13. Hours Of Wealth – Opeth I hate to keep writing that I forgot I was listening to the track, but I can't help it! Just another one that couldn't really keep my attention in all honesty, not that it was particularly bad from what I do remember of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It may look a bad review here Shen, but there are a few tracks which I genuinely enjoyed (mostly the electronic ones on offer), and that's got to be a success still for me. Some of the tracks were just a little bland for me, but there was more than enough else for me to like to overcome this. Cheers, some moe to add to the library.

shen Posted 4 July 2009 Author Share Posted 4 July 2009 5. Moan (Trentemøller remix) – Trentemøller[/b]Again, another one I really liked.

Sounds like something that would have fitted well onto my own mix, so this gets much approval from me. Forgot this in the previous reply: Just look up a couple of posts, in reply to James. 'The Last Resort' is a lot more mellow and atmospheric than that track, but he's done a lot of 'action-packed' stuff like Moan. Most of them are EPs or single mixes, but you can PM me if you want more of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stez Posted 12 July 2009 Share Posted 12 July 2009 1. Mazurka – Abigail’s Ghost i liked this, a bit quirky 2. Temple – Demians a bit, sort of, there. didn't stop me and force me to listen 3. Sane – Archive great bass, i liked this a lot 4. Introducing Palace Players – Mew inoffensive, but didn't rock my world 5. Moan (Trentemøller remix) – Trentemøller nice sounding 6. Dropp – Autechre sounded like a bit of a mess 7. 4 – Aphex Twin not a massive aphex twin fan, except for 'milkman', and this hasn't converted me any further 8. Waves Of Time – Nosound a bit dull, nice back ground music i guess 9. Borgens Vor – Pure Reason Revolution excellent! (when it kicked in) 10. Abandoner – Steven Wilson ok, but again, a bit back ground music-ish 11. Release The Tether – The Pineapple Thief not great 12. Dead Dogs An’ All Sorts – Oceansize if the whole track sounded like the last minute, or so, it would've been fantastic! 13. Hours Of Wealth – Opeth ok, until the singing started, he has the kind of voice that would make me kick him in the throat....no offence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
