Re: REVIEW Sasha live REFRACTED DVD!!!

2 hrs....watching everyone preform LIVE Charlie may on the key boards on fire!!! The violinist, the drums the live vocals!!! It’s pretty badass

And then the way the tracklist he put together is just perfect!

the way battleships mixes into belfunk is truly magic!

Re: REVIEW Sasha live REFRACTED DVD!!!

Gotta be honest I class this as the same as that Classical nonsense that is sweeping the UK right now.

Re: REVIEW Sasha live REFRACTED DVD!!!

OK here's max420's two cents.

1. Blu-ray audio contains only 1 audio track, which is Dolby Digital 2.0 448kbps only when on a standard DVD you can get 640kbps.
2. Disc capacity is 45GB and they only used 39GB Cost saving exercise?
3. Sasha's signature was on the disposable shrink wrap along with the numbered edition. This has been addressed apparently with a slip in card after many complaints.
4. Download speed of the high definition audio files is terribly slow. Took 3 attempts and 6 hours to download 1.7GB on a high speed broadband connection.
5. The overall production, packaging and booklet is very good. The string arrangements added to the value, and it was great to see Charlie May on keyboards deservedly getting his turn in the spotlight.

Overall: 7/10

Re: REVIEW Sasha live REFRACTED DVD!!!

^^ It reminds of the time here when this fan waited for hours to get Northern exposure signed and Sasha signed over Digweed's signature :(

I went to the signing of airdrawnwhatsit and Sasha was signing them on the plastic cd case. I didn't get one. I just got him to sign my Ibiza Long Box.

Re: REVIEW Sasha live REFRACTED DVD!!!

Digweed gets SimonR and Homo to sign the bedrock releases for him. If it has a smiley face it's been signed by SimonR, if it hasn't it's Homo.

An update on the replacement insert cards. Here's the reply I got from Paul (Late Night Tales). [IMG]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12711&stc=1[/IMG]

Clearly Paul is too busy to use a spell checker before he sends emails, and almost two months later I'm no closer to knowing if I will receive replacement cards as originally promised. So to make matters more interesting they're now in the process of selling/ shipping, "Due to popular demand", 4xLP crystal clear vinyl that's also numbered!

Here's the problems I have with this latest money spinning venture.

1. Since the audio quality on the Blu-ray was of inferior quality to what's possible on the format, how likely is it that the original source for the vinyl pressing will in any way make the purchase worthwhile? Other than for what people have already posted on Facebook, i.e. mounting them on a wall etc.
2. Choice of clear vinyl over black seems to be indicative of the label marketing aesthetics over quality/ durability, you can read more about the finer points of Coloured vinyl vs Black[ordinary vinyl] here: [URL]https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/600594[/URL]

Funny thing is when you think about it, anyone could scrawl what's supposedly Sasha's signature on a piece of paper and pass it off as such... So I guess those of us promised replacement cards shouldn't be surprised that the original offer was just that, a feeble attempt to atone for a "piss poor" effort at marketing DJ memorabilia.
