5:th of AUGUST! AIRDRAWNDAGGER is OUT! =)

How many of you are buying Airdrawndagger today? =) I ordered my copy from amazon uk, because i live in communistcountry Sweden were trance doesn't exist sort of... at least it feels that way.

Cant wait until i get my hands on it!!

*psyched*

I wasnt sure what you were talking about until I did a search.
You're speaking of Sasha's "AIRDRAWNDAGGER" set? Just curious
I havn't heard it yet, gonna download it in a moment

Cheers,

Unfortunatly cds dont come out until tuesdays in the us, so Ill buy it on the 6th

Well, Sasha will be dropping by to 3beats records in UK on the 5th to sign his LPs. .. those that can't make it but have pre-ordered will also get a signed LP. I'm not too keen on this album though...

Finally it's going to be released... think I'll pick up my copy tomorrow.

I'm going to Oslo on Saturday, going to buy it then.

It's not that this CD sucks (why would almost all other reviews I've read be so positive), it's the fact that YOU don't like it That's something completely different imo.

Well I know one person I wont be asking for music opinions on in here. Seriously man what do you consider to be "good" music then? Airdrawn Dagger ranks right up there with my favorite albums of alltime. I can't say enough great things about it. So you dont like this type of music. Doesn't mean this album "SUCKS ASS" as you so eliquently put. Just means your taste is music is wacked. Its not Sashas fault.

Got my copy on special order from my local independent music shop, hopefully it'll show up early this week.

I can't wait to hear the rest of this album, I've only heard two cuts from it so far (Wavy Gravy and Magnetic North) but both of those were *brilliant*...

Cheers to Sasha for exploring some new territory with the album!

LOL>. i knew i was gonna get flamed for this ... lol.. but i dont consider my taste to be wacked... and i do respect all other opinions on this album and i might have been alittle harsh... just not my type of album... to mellow for me i guess.... but hey.. if you love it and gonna buy it... all power to you.... i just wanted to get my opinion out... sorry if i hurt some feelings

Comes out TOMORROW in canada

wait, ssscuze me, how come i was listening to this album since like 2 weeks ago? (on mp3 though) was that a promo? it's a very good album, IMHO, very chillout and relaxing

to those who have it: Does the CD come in a jewel-case or in one of those crappy paper fold-out thingys?

If I can find the cd where I live (in Per�), I'll buy it.

Its a great production.. every transition, every arrangement, everything is perfect....

10/10

...

meanwhile, I'll have to live with my dloaded copy

Wouldn't it be sweet if there was a music store open 24 hours?
I'd go get my copy now

I say this as a devoted Sasha fan: I'm far from impressed.

The entire CD is too chilled for my taste, and even for Sasha the release lacks energy. I remember the Sasha of progressive trance. I know his sets for their masterful mixing and ability to bring me places my mind hasn't been.

Sadly, Airdrawndagger does none of this for me. The music isn't the sound of Sasha I've grown to appreciate and adore, but something completely else, something deeper and more ambient. Also, I see little significant difference overall between tracks, no variety of style. It's too repetitive for me.

Just listen. This is a world of difference from Xpander or the feeling of GU 013. I for one am a bit disappointed, and mourn the loss of energy. Sasha is taking a step away from my preferences in this record.

Don't get me wrong, Airdrawndagger is a great collection of sound, but it simply isn't on par with what I expect from a producer as great as Sasha.

It would be nice for someone to agree with me.

Any "true" fan of Sasha knows the man is into all types of music some of which are ambient/moody/chilled out tracks and breakbeats. Airdrawn Dagger showcases the mans talent to produce such works and his love of that type of music really shows on this album. Sasha has said it himself. "Airdrawn Dagger is for the true Sasha fan.". So if this is too chilled our for you then so be it. I just think its a shame that anyone could have anything negative to say about this masterpiece. *shrug* As a fan of music I really just can't understand how anyone could not like something off this album. Oh well.

Umm do you have the same album I have? Ya "Mr. Tiddles" and "Boileroom" sound so alike! The only thing repeating on this album are great tracks.

Umm this album is supposed to be different from anything Sasha has done. Its not supposed to be a club stomper or even trance for that matter. This is an album that you put in, turn off the lights, slip on some good headphones and let the music consume you. Or something like that.

Its everything I'd expect from Sasha and more. It showcases his talents for producing great music.

Good luck dude. Actually considering the sheer amount of crappy trance (or any type of music for that matter) that exists in this world I'm sure someone agrees with you. I wouldn't be proud of that though.



Hey I'm not a Sasha cheerleader nor am I out to tear anyone who dislikes this album a new butthole. I'm just voicing my opinions and quite frankly it amazes me when something this great still manages to get some type of negative response from someone. No harm done. I respect everyones opinions. I just think some peoples opinions are really wacked and off base. All in good fun dude.

Agreed...



Btw, Cobalt, I'm sorry it wasn't what you expected... but you have to agree that his "deeper, ambient" style preserves all the quality of a Sasha production ... (except the energy-)...

I downloaded this CD a while ago... ( I know, I'm a bad boy )

And I must say, that this CD is very very very good. I throughly enjoy all of the tracks... except Track 4, it's a little bland for my tastes.

But, this CD ages very well, I'm still listening to it every now and then, even though I've had it for a good month now. All the songs have grown on me, and I'm enjoying it all.

I whole-heartedly recommend this CD to anybody with open ears and an open mind. Even those that don't wouldn't normally like techno in general. I think there's something for everybody on this CD.

I'm betting it won't be out in NZ for another coupla months... just like Gatecrasher releases... and they even get tracks cut for no particular reason.

I might order it off Amazon but in the end I probably won't bother and'll just wait...

Thank you.. That was about exactly what I was going to say

Then buy it too

Ack! Such animosity! I feel the embers starting! Ok, I'll try to let it grow on me, as initial impressions may change.

But let's face it people, this is ambient progressive, not trance. I sometimes consider myself a progressive vanguard, but with the reaction I'm getting you might think I was on the GU board.

I'm not debating its artistic value. I simply like Sasha's energetic style better, and feel it has more merit.
