sounds like a "silly rumor" to me

#292747Post 3 of 115

Doesn't sound like it to me. Progsounds usually knows his stuff. I cannot wait for this one.

#292751Post 4 of 115

I definitely want to hear it if it's true, but there's isn't any credible source aside from another messageboard... and we all know how easily rumors fly between messageboards :)

Very, very true. I guess I'm just holding out hope because Simon qualified it.

Would have much rather someone who was offering a fresher sound at the moment. Haven't liked the direction that Fade has taken this year, expectations aren't too high

#292771Post 9 of 115

if this is anything like bedrock III....

#295501Post 10 of 115

Fingers crossed - for me he's one of the most talented DJ/Producers out there and very much under-rated.

The recent Fade compilation was an advert for his label rather than anything else, so its about time that Chris put out another mix CD. He also has a 5-track EP in the pipeline.

I'll believe it when I see it...damn rumors :evil:

#295561Post 16 of 115

Re: Balance 007 - Chris Fortier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris is one of my favorite dj's out there, he always delivers the goods. atleast everytime i've seen him. 3 times this year so far. nice to see him get his dues. after buying ever GU and other credible cd from 97-2002 i haven't bought one since. i think this will break my cd-less streak

#295564Post 17 of 115

Isn't Balance an all-Australian series right now? I'm still calling [bs] on this one.

#295577Post 18 of 115

Re: Balance 007 - Chris Fortier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to hear this one!

#295583Post 19 of 115

Bill Hamel and James Holden wernt aussie! This is no rumor :)

#295584Post 20 of 115

Re: Balance 007 - Chris Fortier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one will be good and if Prog Sounds says it's him - it will be.

I still haven't bought Balance 005 yet!! and I hear it's out of print. hmmmmmmmm

[quote=beaumont]Bill Hamel and James Holden wernt aussie! This is no rumor :)[/quote]

they're coming out with some comps on Bedrock?

#295593Post 22 of 115

I ment they both did a balance comp and there not from austraila. Neither Bill nor James is doing a bedrock comp :roll:

#295594Post 23 of 115

Re: Balance 007 - Chris Fortier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in love with that Chiller Twist - 'Presence of You' track he throws down in his recent Opaque Angels radio show mix. I'm not usually one for vocal tracks, but wow. :shock: It's an old track from what I can gather, but I guess it's about to see a proper release?

agree 100%, i hated audio tour

fortier is here on the 26th or something like that, planning on checking him out

#295700Post 27 of 115

I like much of his stuff. I am happy because the Balance series has set the standard. And i know Chris can bring the heat.

#295739Post 28 of 115

[quote=skahound] Check out his Opaque Angels set from September...you'll be hooked again.[/quote]

I actually have never rated Fortier so I doubt I'll be getting hooked again With the exception of a handful of tracks towards the end of CD2 I thought his Bedrock was pretty boring. Steve Porter would have been a much better choice, I wish the early rumour was true.

I think its a shame that after such a groundbreaking release with Holden, they have taken two steps back with Pappa & Fortier who are playing a pretty dated sound.

Re: Balance 007 - Chris Fortier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

April is the due date :D

#295743Post 30 of 115

...and nobody's showed a valid source for this yet.

#295758Post 31 of 115

seeing how beaumont is in with balance, he has some scoop. i take his word for it. ;-)

fortier for prime minister :RockOn:

#295763Post 32 of 115

look forward to this actually...havent really listened to all that much fortier in my time.

/thread hijack

#295764Post 33 of 115

The Balance series is put out by Stomp/EQ in Australia, not the Balance Promote group in the US Considering Progsounds was the one who released this info on the GU forum and there are others I know who were sitting on this info for a while, you can safely assume that its correct.

#295766Post 34 of 115

refine. keep an eye on the d/l section this week or next. ;-)

[quote=Progsounds]:lol: What surprises me is the fact the majority of people had no clue when the info has been readily available if you've known where to read for weeks.[/quote]
