Re: involv3r tracklist

i avoided this thread for the very reason I am not telling my wife about my thoughts on the new involver(she hasnt listened to it yet). I dont want my opinions to affect her thoughts because i want her to tell me exactly what im expecting her to say. (come on its already been said 1000 times in this thread)

THIS IS NOT INVOLVER. The first two had some sort of connection. They took you deep and allowed you to roam and bask in its darkness.

Its so strange to read the booklet where its taking about Sasha's perfectionism. I mean, has he listened to this? There are a couple of transistions that had me scratching my head, and not of amazement, but wondering was sasha in the bathroom and one of his minions turned the knob or pressed the button.

I think to call this an involver mix is misleading, and that this release, in whatever name, is a disappointment coming from Sasha himself.

Re: involv3r tracklist

Listened to this last night in bed with headphones on.

Oh dear!

Seriously, I have loved the tunes Sasha has been playing over the last 3 years, summer 2010 when he was playing Hate Love, Betoko and Lopazz's New dimension, Amber Turtle, We are Castles etc. etc. To me this was like the Sasha I was listening to in 1991-94.

However, listening to this last night was a real let down, the tracks themselves were all OK, but the mixing (or programming) was just lazy, there was no flow at all.
I tend to take 3 or 4 attempts at a mix before I post it, when doing stuff at home anyway, but never spend more than a couple of nights putting them together, and I think I could do a much better job of putting those tunes together myself.
Not what you expect from a Sasha release.

I will listen again this afternoon in the car, maybe I was just tired and didn't give it a chance, but first impressions were not positive.

I've never been a huge fan of Sasha but this time I've got to admit I can't even listen to the new Involver. It sounds as if it was 1993 not 2013. A mix some drug-addicted kids might possibly kinda a like.
