-- i think the Sasha "Involver" Special Edition has 4 extra tracks
i think the Sasha "Involver" Special Edition has 4 extra tracks
for the import or whatever version it is for. i would rather get that. the US version has only 10 tracks. probably unmixed
anyways can't wait for this one. get the special editon instead. according to towerrecords.com
i'm pretty sure sasha just released a preliminary tracklist to some sites and he actually deleted some tracks close to the release. The best buy website lists both the regular and the special edition with the 14 track playlist. Sasha wrote something about how he decided to remove some tracks from the cd recently.

The limited edition contains 10 tracks and comments on every track by Sasha himself...

| Production and remixes all tracks by Sasha. Keyboards and drum programming by Sasha, Barry Jamieson, Charlie May, Simon Wright. http://www.djsasha.com/ Involver blurs the lines between the DJ mix compilation and the producer / artist album. Every track is an original Sasha remix or re-creation that has been exclusively recorded as an original piece for this project. "It's all great music, but with my own interpretation," states Sasha. "Tracks like The Youngsters and Spooky are tracks that I've been playing for two or three years. I'm presenting them back out into the world again my own way which is exactly what DJs always talk about doing. They don't have the tools to do that when they are in a club. The fact that I got all the separate parts to the mixes and put it all back together to create my own sound is the ultimate form of DJing." -Limited Edition Sleeve Notes- 01. Grand National - Talk Amongst Yourselves I picked up this record at the end of the summer (of '03) and it lived in my stereo for months. I fell in love with it because it reminded me of so much music from my childhood... bands like America and The Police. It's quirky British pop at its best. When I spoke to Grand National they gave me free choice of anything from the album, which was a really tough decision... there is so much great music to choose from. 02. Shpongle - Dorset Perception Dorset Perception will be familiar to anyone who saw me DJ last year; it was the last song in my set for a lot of the tour. This track is more of a rearrangement than a full remix. Apart from the guitars and vocals there were a lot of sounds in the original that I thought were electronic. But, when I got the parts I realised it was all live instrumentation. Even the bass was made from a cello. The original parts are all so amazing and there are so many of them that it will probably spawn some dubs. 03. Petter - These Days This record was one of my favourites from last year. I could have taken These Days off in many different directions. It could have been an ambient intro to the album or I could have done a much more banging version at its original tempo, but when we dropped it to 124bpm we realized it was the same tempo and key as What Are You To Me? The original sounds I got from Petter were so rich that we ended up taking a lot of time nerding around with sound design. Petter is a remarkable young producer who has quite a future ahead of him if he keeps turning tracks out like this one. 04. UNKLE - What Are You To Me? What Are You To Me is a bridge track, altered very little from the original. The acapella part fell in perfectly over These Days and carries the record into... 05. The Youngsters - Smile Smile has been in my box since it was released a couple of years ago and it always comes out on those special nights. When I got the idea for Involver, Smile was one of the first tracks that came to mind. The bass line from the original is absolutely killer so I left that alone, left the vocals as they were, but we reprogrammed the drums and Charlie spaced it out with some beautiful keyboards. Again, the original sounds were so full and rich that we had a lot to play around with. 06. Spooky - Belong Another record that has been in my box for a couple years... Charlie May's original mixes had two distinct directions. One had a summery house vibe - which I absolutely loved - and my original idea was to turn that up and make it a much bigger track. But when we started playing around with all the original parts we got such amazing sounds and textures from Charlie's ambient mix that the remix went off in a much more spaced out and melancholic direction. I'd still like to do another version of his house mix. 07. UNKLE - In A State I originally remixed this record in 2003 and I didn't want to just include that remix as it was from last year. Initially, my thought was to use it as a bridge track, dropping in the acapella vocal and the guitar part to carry the Spooky track into Burma... However, I really wanted to mess around with the vocal as the song was already pretty we knwon in clubland. I broke the vocals up into about 1,000 pieces and then put it together. Once I'd done that to the vocal I really felt like we should finish it as a full dub. 08. Lostep - Burma I absolutely love Lostep's original. Definitely one of my favourite tracks from last year and another one of the tracks that I thought of immediately when I came up with the Involver idea. Once Luke and Phil had sent me the original parts I realized it had potential to be a much bigger sounding track than their quite laid back original mix. At first I had it in mind to do a straight up four to the floor club mix. We played around with a few different directions but couldn't seem to get it right. Simon came up with a wicked bass hook, we went back to breakbeats and the track came alive. 09. Felix Da Housecat - Watching Cars Go By I pulled this track from Felix's upcoming record. The whole album has a quirky, eccentric 80s pop vibe but I picked this track because of its punk house edge. This one turned out to be more of a rearrangment than a full remix, but we got some great results doing some mad processing to the vocal, which has given the remix a unique flavour. At the end I was struggling a bit to get the beats up from 132 to 140bpm which is where the Ulrich track is at. Most of the transitions between tracks on the album have bpm rises in them. I spent a lot of time when we were pulling the final master together trying to disguise those increases in tempo. However, doing an 8bpm rise smoothly was going to be impossible so we decided to speed Felix's track to 560bpm turning the whole track into high hats and allowing Ulrich's track to drop perfectly in. 10. Ulrich Schnauss - On My Own On My Own was the first track I worked on and it started out as a mash up bootleg. I just pulled the original master off his album, we chopped it up, processed it, and wrote a track to fit underneath it, basically beefing up the drums and bass from his original. I sent the results to Ulrich and he loved it. He then sent me all the original parts to work with so we gradually went through the track and replaced noises bit by bit with the original parts. Ulrich's production is amazing... you'd think it was full of guitars but when I got the original sessions I realized everything came from synths. He has a really unique way of programming and processing synths to sound like warm fuzzy guitars... sort of the inverse surprise we got from working on the Shpongle track. |
