Awesome work guys! I'll be listening to this a lot in the future no doubt. I'll pick out my favourites after a couple more listens, but the two that really hit me first time were Lost Without Trace and Wither.

I wish I could find fault to it so I had something else to say.

And thanks for sharing it with everyone for free. We appreciate, we really do.

Nice one, thoroughly enjoyed it

I'm absolutely loving this

Cheers guys!

Very average really. Some of it sounds like supermarket music. I soon deleted this.

Would you like to elaborate on that? What did you like and what didn't you? What is "supermarket music"?

I'm all for constructive criticism but vague nonsense like that isn't really helping anyone, is it.

Supermarket music, unfortunately is music played that is generally of a poor production, in the imaginative terms. Its repetitive and uses simple sounds.

Regarding this album, the production and mastering etc were fine, however, nothing stood out. I just don't think the album was creative or yet imaginative.

Comments made are nothing personal, just my honest opinion.

Uh huh.

Indeed. Let's just leave it at that, shall we?

No problem.

Would you care to elaborate on that as well?
I happen to have found lots of interesting layers and details throughout the album.


Sorry for reviving the discussion.

To you? Nah, not really!

You are on tranceaddict.com mate.... not 'pompous-psuedo-jazzaddict.com'

Electronic music by nature can be repetitive. In comparison to alot of of stuff out there atm I found this to be refreshing cool. It is minimal in parts yes, but that is the point, down tempo music usually is - and who says you have to have a 36 bar alternating melody & accompanying tracks to make good music?

So, as back up to your words - what would you recommend as a better alternative? just out of interest

Bren

All right, I think that's about enough of that.

Just started listening. Out of interest, There are two people in Al Azar. What do each of you do and how did you contribute to this?

We don't really have any roles, we just bounce ideas back and forth and see what happens. And, more often than not, we tend to think scarily similar thoughts.

liked the album a lot... some nice melodies goin. liked the overall airy floating feeling in most the tracks. percussion was pretty cool overall as well. i could walk around new york all day and listen to this.. haha.

Ah crap, I thought Mart was normal.


Anyway, I was bored and found myself looking at Nik's signature and that lead me here. Now that I wasted my time listening to this I might as well give some comments.

Tracks:
1. Sets the mood nicely. [8.5/10]
2. Cheap sounding bassdrum, tighten it. Nice ambient "Thomas Newman" instrument. [8.5/10]
3. Nice beats. Guitar sound a bit too delayed. [8.0/10]
4. Very balanced track, but malplaced, maybe switch 3 and 4. [8.0/10]
5. Nothing special. Should have been placed later in the album, cool down track after "Lost Without Trace" before interlude? [7.5/10]
6. Nice, but malplaced. Places very nicely after "Infinitude", just do the previous changes and presto! [8.0/10]
7. Very nice. [9.0/10]
8. Love the strings, but could have done with some more harmonies, too repetitive. Bad bassdrum again. [8.0/10]
9. A bit boring, especially after the orchestral interlude... [7.5/10]
10. Nice bass. [8.5/10]
11. A bit boring. [7.5/10]
12. Good wake up track, when you've slept through the whole album. Shouldn't fade out. [8.0/10]
12b. Could have been another full track. Nothing special "bonus" about it. How is it a reprise, perse? Whoops, per se. [7.5/10]

Changes:
1-2: 9.5/10
2-3: 8.0/10 - Beginning of "Infinitude" sounds a bit awkward.
3-4: 7.0/10 - Barber inappropriate between two "kicking" tracks.
4-5: 6.5/10 - Kills the vibe.
5-6: 7.5/10
6-7: 8.5/10
7-8: 5.0/10 - Shouldn't have been a silent change.
8-9: 6.0/10 - Shorter silence between change.
9-10: 8.5/10
10-11: 8.5/10
11-12: 7.5/10 - "Fire Walk With Me" (Moby - Go) reference?


Overall tracks: 8.0/10
Overall album: 7.5/10


So, solid work mates, but no parrot mark this time.

Oh it is a full track, it's just not on the album as it didn't really fit the overall mood It's available here.

personally i think this is fucking excellent, especially for a first album, and i regularly listen to it in the car and hold it in the same stead as the most recent hybrid album.

well done indeed in my very humble opinion

i will finish that remix for you guys one day, just life seems to have a way of getting me busy!

Do you have a CD Replicator lined up yet? If not, I can help you out with that!

What's that?

When you release an album on Cd, a replicator takes care of the manufacturing. Commonly this involves molding the Cd, printing the design on the disc, inserting the disc with the artwork into the jewel case, and than over raping it. The number of Cd's you want done can range any ware from 50 to millions (the bigger the order the larger the price break). I work for a company that does all this. http://www.spinergymedia.com/
