I kinda like it...Not really club music at all. You just have to sit down and listen to it. He plays some weird shit, but Holden's fkin sick. His music just grabs you somehow.

I have to listen to the album a couple of more times before I fully review it. I remember thinking about what I felt when I first heard Balance 005: nothing special, too weird and soft. After I heard it a couple of more times I realized that its the best edm album of 2003.

This album has to be heard more than once in order to be fully grasped, and it shouldnt be compared to Balance 005 becuase apart from the Holdenesque mood that is apparent in both, the man has changed dramatically in sound.

More on the album later....

Actaully no i dont give him credit for that, his stuff i very much in the box. Otherwise most ppl wouldnt have heard of him. He is THAT experimental.

So you have to be unknown to be creative and experimental?
when people appreciate you, that automatically makes you part of the bandwagon?

He's a helluva lot more creative than Desyn Maseillo.

Wowowowow ayoyoyoye..."YOU ARE SLEEPING" - PQM WITH LUKE CHABLE or whatever it is, THAT song right there is why EDM exists, ok. No question about it, one of the most amamamamamazing tracks I have ever heard and I heard it first from Monsieur Holden AKA Mr.IUseThisLittleSoundPadThatMakesEveryoneGoINSANEAtMyGigs.

He's fkn amazing.

That's all.

I have the Fake & Holden Essential Mix, haven't had a chance to listen to it yet though. Read good things in the Tracklist forum. Is it good Bertuzz?

Listened to it a few times, cd 2 is my favorite. Took me some time to get used to it, but im starting to like it more and more. Its definitly only James that could come up with a cd like that!

Very original!!!!
