    Re: involv3r tracklist

    wow, so this is it? this is what he has been doing for the last couple of months (years)? I mean wtf, seriously???

    Still, I am not sure if I listened to the real thing (download oh oh) or someone mislabeled the file. In case it was Involver 3 I - and wow it hurts a bit - have to agree with most of what has been written so far. It so was NOT worth the wait!

    - The tracks are average at best. (Well, the second half has its moments (by the second) but it absolutely fails to impress at all!)
    - I CANNOT stand the vocals (actually it's distorted snippets) on most of the tracks.
    - The sequencing (one should avoid the word mixing) is laughable. Again, wtf? Who has done this? If it took someone (whomever) more than an hour I would seriously challenge his studio skills. Overall what is the point of the sequencing here anyway? The whole thing does not tell a story - or did I miss the plot?

    I wonder, what was the initial idea of Involver again? I vaguely remember there was some (next level?) concept behind it once?

    To be fair I have not listened to the beatless versions so far but then again may I dare to ask - Why should I?

    One should not laud the past ... but in this case I can't resist. Anyone remembers this?



    I prefer this over any of his new Remixes anytime.

    wow the reviews are totally opposite on amazon uk from what i have been reading on ms....here are a few...

    and just when you thought that the genius couldnt better involver 2.... BANG... he comes up with this masterpiece ! this is sasha at his absolute finest and one of the most beautiful mixes i have heard in a very long time ! a must have in anybodys cd collection who appreciates good electronic music !

    After the lukewarm response to his second installment it's pleasing to find that he's come back stronger & better than ever. I'd place this alongside his first in the series, so be safe in the knowledge that you're purchasing a product of absolute quality. Packaging is a rather functional tri-fold which is a bit unusual for the series, but nevertheless it houses the 2 discs exceptionally well.

    don't mention this gem, not even close !. Talking about involve3r individually, transitions are not smooth enough, it sounds like the man didn't even put his hand on them.

    did he use the same drum sounds on the first 45 minutes?

    The only positive thing to say about Involv3r is that at least its not a 120bpm snoozefest like every other comp is at the moment.

    The burning quetion is: Did Sasha actually do the mix, or was it one his team?
