-- Al Azar presents Glaciation... The Album.
Pages (10): « 1 2 3 4 [5] 6 7 8 9 10 »

You've come a long way guys! This album is an absolute masterpiece�no doubt about it. I fell in love with the amazing melodies and surprisingly complex harmonies and sound arrangements. The drum work was superb as usual.
This is exactly the time of music im looking for these days, harmonies and melodies�and I can tell you for sure that this album is one of the best I heard this year.

I did feel though that Hypnotoad and the track that plays around 46:00 (No Such Thing As Two ?) are abit out of place, I don�t think its necessarily the 4/4 beat but it kinda disturbs whole flow of the mix imo.

I've listened to the album 3 times now and it's really great. Refreshing sounds as we're used to from Al Azar.

My favourite tracks were Infinitude; hypnotoad and Wither.
However I'm not always too fond about the sequencing; Imo it's actually the only point of criticism that I can make. Some transitions are absolutely great... But sometimes the atmosphere totally gets killed too I'm afraid e.g. the transition from 3 to 4 (or was it 4 to 5 ? I dont remember correctly since I havent got the album on this computer) is a bit too brute. You're sequencing a beautiful ambient-like track into a straightforward 4/4 beat and I thought that was too sudden.

Apart from that I totally dig this and will definately listen a lot more to it. Oh and I love how you put that break from "At the Edge Of Tomorrow" at the end of the disc

Around 13.12-13.30 into the full mp3 file - is that a nod to Barber's Adagio to Strings there, or just a coincidence?

Hah! I've also noticed I heard Esquilax somewhere before. Thanks for pointing it out for me.

Wonderful album, it all sounds so professional, and it has such an amazing atmosphere. Thumbs up. This will be in my playlist for a long time guys.

Hehe, we love putting references into our works - makes it a bit more interesting and gives things more "depth".

classy stuff guys. enjoying it quite a bit and I havent found much work from the amateur producers here all that enjoyable (respect to all of you guys, Im just a stickler when it comes to polished production). but this is up there with the pro's. very cool

also, the track at around 50 mins or so is absolutely the highlight for me. great melody and overall production on that peice. but that can be said about nearly all the tracks

Any chance of an actual timed tracklist so I can chop the full mp3 up?
Cue files don't agree with me
Just a list of the track length will do me fine, I can use Audition or Soundforge to cut it up.

Cheers

Danke schon!

Does the extra bit at the end of the album have a name or are you sticking with "Untitled Hidden Track"?

At The Edge Of Tomorrow (Reprise)

Genuinely impressive.

Excellent work, not much else to say.

Cheers

That bit is taken from one of our Al Azar tracks, 'At the End of Tomorrow'. So I believe we were calling it 'At the End of Tomorrow (Reprise)'.

EDIT: Oh, Nik already replied. Damn you!

Say, if you're online later tonight I have something here that needs your input...

hint: you can use foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/) to load the cue file and export the files separately

stunning, absolutely stunning.
comes right next to Orkidea's chillout album imo!

Eep, I'm not sure we're quite that far yet

I think there's a plugin for Winamp for that as well.

There's a plugin called "mp3cue" where you can load cue files for tracks (it even usually loads the cue itself if it has the same name as the mp3 file) but i don't think you can cut the mp3 by the cue

or maybe you mean another plugin
