while more than 30min into cd1 i have to admit i expected more from this. I really really love(d) ALiVE but this is way too elektro for me. Why is everybody jumping this elektro bandwagon atm? Sasha, ozgur, now zabiela too it seems. Its a real shame imo, cause i fucking like his ALiVE cd.

The tracklist looks good. I have a copy, but am yet to check it out.

This is pretty ok, Nothing special too me, I guess it's not my kind of stuff either But it passes my test and gets 7/10.

I hope i will be able to buy the album in poland, though doubtful. Its 14 quid on amazon + shippment costs so its too much for me

on an unrelated note: James you are the man : i've heard you helped my buddies Perry and Peter to get in the club in London when the bouncer wouldn't let them in, now that's just class and i hope to see you in Poland later this year

You know you love it. I pulled up a 2002 set the other day and you were throwing them all over the place...

Maybe I'll wear some kind of star wars paraphernalia to remind you.

cd2 is amazing... i like it more than cd1

Posted by The_One on Jun-30-2005 19:41:

I like this release a little bit better than ALiVE. Great job James!

Cd01 is just crap, when do people stop using that horrible Ableton. Sasha took everything from it on his amazing Involver but nowadays its just fucking annyoing, it just doesnt add anything. Cd02 is off the hook, love the build up and the amazing starter

cd1 : 5/10
cd2 : 8/10

This Album does NOT need to grow on me I loved it immediately. It definately beats out Fundacion. I haven't listened to the second half of the second CD but the first one blew me away. I loved the intro track and Robophobia and so many other great tracks. Maybe when I listen to the rest of the 2nd CD will change my mind (but I was too excited to keep from posting about this), I think it's an unfair comparison of Ableton and CDJ recording because the tracklist on the first CD is so awesome I have a hard time paying attention to the transitions. I'll post again once I have heard the second disc again, maybe I will change my mind and make clear decision but as of now the Ableton software seems to be inspiring the best mixing.

I give it a 9/10

I ordered my copy from Amazon and it's supposed to be here on the 5th!

I can't wait to hear this one.. been looking forward to it for a long time.

ALiVe fucking still kicks my ass.

On another note.. I walked into my local CD store and they're charging 22 bucks for it.. Christ. I hate Sam Goody.

I payed less than that ordering from Amazon plus the shipping.
