Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

I think it starts well, builds nicely, but the ending is terrible.That final song is the worst thing he's ever put on a CD.

Tends to lose its way around about Ladytron, which gets pretty boring and ploddy after just a few listens.

All in all a decent release but could do without that ending

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

I thought the ending was fantastic ... just shows how diverse the tastes are even within the Prog/House/EDM world.

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

Same thing here, loved the final song. I actually don't like Involver's final Felix dahousecat song, so liked invol2ver overall.

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

yeah i as well thought the ending fit perfectly....a great closing track. i think you are in the minority here greg

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

This mix is awsome. :D

Love the way he sux you straight in with, 'You are the worst thing in the world'. Amazing track which leads straight into another with, 'Flesh'.

From 'Arcadia' through to 'Couleurs', is where the serious tunage is. All amazing tracks, with some haunting vocals thrown in for good measure. :twisted:

'Sometimes I realise' is an awsome track and an excellent choice in closing this mix out. :p

Sasha has delivered yet another classic and can't wait to see him @ Global Gathering in Nov. :RockOn:

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

Why don´t people like "Sometimes I Realise"? :?:

I think it´s a glorious ending to my record of the year (along Howells´ Renaissance monster)

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

^^^ because it would be crap to dance to??? :lol: When there are vocals I want them to be a really special voice, this isn't for me.

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

Its my least favorite track on the cd, but the cd is absolutely amazing and it is still a good track.

#1085673Post 130 of 162

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

I think it works well as the ending track. If you have it setup to play immediately to the bonus disk it's a great transition between them.

I hadn't heard much of this prior to the release so I didn't know what to expect. I have enjoyed the Coma stuff but was wondering where he'd go with invol2er.

Great track picks, along with nice edits with that quintessential Sasha electronic knob twisting. I like how it was much more upbeat that the original involver. Very groovy and drives hard enough to not get boring for me.

I'm all into enjoying certain tracks, but albums for me are something special and I really enjoy listening to albums as a whole. This one doesn't let me down for that. I typically hit play on track 1 and let it go all the way through. I'm amazed on every play that I'm already at the end of the bonus disk (on the limited edition) far too soon. I could do with another hour of remixes like this.

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

The last track in a set doesn´t necessarily have to be a danceable one... many DJ´s usually play a "comedown" track, this is Invol2ver´s equivalent of it, I think it´s an epic track that leaves a good, kinda drawn-out feeling that makes for a perfect ending.

Of course I´m also influenced by the fact that I actually like Engineers, they´re this shoegazer band with My Bloody Valentine influences, so as I´m into that kind of stuff I´m obvisouly biased. ;)

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

I'm curious to know what you people think the male vocal that starts at 39:27 and is on the 1st and 3rd beats of the bar with the cher vocal effects (what I call them anyway) is saying.

#1111553Post 135 of 162

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

C'mon...anyone? I've had this idea for years to use a vocal sample in a track and I think it may have been done here but it's hard to tell. You know how you think you hear words in a song, even though they are wrong, you keep on hearing them when you listen to it.

I shall keep bumping this thread until someone helps me out here!! :lol:

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

Maybe the better route for me to go is to play it for friends and see what they think. I just thought I'd ask the experts first!!:)

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

just listened to it again with the good headphones on and the word dance is definitely used, but that's all I could clearly make out

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

[quote=Steve Graham;672772]and whats the sample from.. so i can get a better idea[/quote]

Don't know where the sample's from, but it starts at 39:27 and I thinks he says Dancer on the 1st beat and Dance on the 3rd. Like I said it has that Cher vocal effect. It starts out really quiet and and gets progressively louder. It's the only vocal sample playing in that part. Oooh...just listening to that got me excited to see Sasha this Saturday!! Woot Woot!

#1115607Post 159 of 162

Re: Its official......INVOL2VER

right, i get that, im asking because you said it was an idea you had for years... just wondered if it was a sample from another song :)
