Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

Ok.. tomorrow i´ll give disc 1 a go.

Disc 2:

I do like this music at first listen but none of the tracks / phase is especially remarkable or memorable, imo.. that is something never happened before @ Hernan comps.. I´ll give of course a bunch of listens but this comp wont probably be a fav one.

Maybe high expectatives are tricky.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

Ok, listened to both, CD 2 , I would love if it was a stand alone CD, some of my favourite tracks are there, but as a whole for me it is totally eclipsed by CD 1 . It is something else again. CD 1 for me is mind blowing. The reason I took so long to review is because I wanted to review it all and every time I went to play cd2 I ended up playing cd1 instead. This to me is the music I have watched develop over tmay years since my first introduction to electronic music. I just love where it now. It's all grown up !! :D Maybe not meant to be the dance cd but it is really beautiful to move to. :)

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

Did nothing for me really, no need to give this another listen. Only Kevin Di Serna Track stands out. Sasha Scene delete is far beyond CD1. And CD2 is trying too hard to sound good.

This compilation sounds more like a necessity with no influence, which makes it forgettable. Its a shame kinda from such a quality label. Hernan works better without boarders.

Did not listened Disc 1 yet (i´ll do it properly tonight on the plane on my way to a friends wedding in Colombia yay!!!! lol) but seriously Disc 2 didnt get any better with a second listen.

Disc 2.. 6/10 because it´s Hernan.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

Imo i think disc 2 should have been disc 1, and they should have did a different peaktime mix for disc 2

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

I've listened to part 1 a few times and havent been able to listen to part 2. Disc 1 is just that good. Too many highlights to mention on this mix.

Overall even if I dont like disc 2, its a great "balance presents" release to me. my favorite since Guy J's.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

^^ That's what happened to me :lol: Cd 2 is a grower. But Cd1 is still definitely my favourite . :)

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

excellent compilation8)

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

I'm still processing it. Way more mellow than I was expecting, but then again, so was the Nick Warren entry.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

How does this compare to his previous balance, do you guys prefer this one ?

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

good question. i'd probably have to go with this previous balance release if i had to choose, loved that one too.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

[QUOTE=salami;1197610]How does this compare to his previous balance, do you guys prefer this one ?[/QUOTE] Just to make it harder for you, this one is definitely my favourite. :lol: It really is a matter of our own personal tastes. :)

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

Fair enough :) ... his previous balance has a better approach and sounds more Hernan to me. I might give CD1 another listen from a different point of view. His next comp. must be a triple CD without label boarders.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

I loved Hernan's previous balance effort. Sudbeats cd1 is a good downtempo mix, has a nice beat to it which for me makes it better than scene delete (but neither as good as Warrens GU Paris cd1). CD2 builds up quite slowly and quite nicely, really starting to gather pace with the fantastic flow between Varon's Sivota into Hernan & SoundExiles wonderfully rousing Pressure Drop - only for the momentum to be completely ruined by one of the flakiest Guy J tracks i have heard (and i love Guy J btw).

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Balance Presents Sudbeat

I love Guy J as well, but he has been worrying me a tad lately. :)
