Dub Mix and Astral Projection Remix for me

Posted by skip on Sep-06-2009 19:48:

Based on the samples from Trackitdown:

Rather bad all in all. Too cheesy. Dub Mix sounds kinda ok, but then again not really. Haven't been impressed by anything J00F and the Digital Blonde have done in years, which is a shame as I absolutely love their old stuff and they really are able to make fantastic music.

Listened to full versions of each track and I must say I really enjoy Miika's Lost Method mix and pretty surprised by the Solarstone 'Stellar' remix, the deep hypnotizing synths/melodies remind me of their quality old work. I went into it not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Miika's Lost Method mix is a great track minus the bassline that comes in around 4:30 mark. Great for opening a set.

Protoculture remix is a decent psy prog trancer, quite average and forgettable. Cherikov mix is very average too, it has potential but doesn't seem to go anywhere. Too long and dried out.

Astral Projection is better than the previous two mixes in that it has more track development but lacks a few things to make it a good track. It's probably the bassline and weak use of EFX. Overuse of snare rolls, dull EFX and pads, and the Darth Vader sounds are very overrated and cheesy. Parmesan cheese written all over this. A few good synth sounds.

Dub and Original mixes are much better - good bassline, use of EFX and pads, synths and ambience. The original mix tends to get a bit cheesy and drift off for me. Dub mix is the better and less cheesy of the two tracks. Deep vibes in the dub mix. Still nothing spectacular here, unfortunately.

Overall, great names don't necessarily always live up to their reputation, and that's exactly the case in this remix package. I would recommend checking out Miika's Lost Method mix, the Dub mix, and Solarstone remixes. Like everyone else, I was expecting a lot more, but at least there are a couple of good mixes to look out for.
