They played all their new tracks @ tomorrowland, I must say: El Matador, Rezo & El Tercer Ojo = SICK!!

But the vocals on Senorita (Mr Sam Vocal Vision) suck, really, destroys the masterpiece

more proof he has no clue on producing, let's not fool anyone here, it's all dimitri's work. Sam's just hanging on

hmm.. I don't mean to flame you or anything, but I cant help but wonder if the whole "mr.sam sucks as a producer" attitude is based on something concrete? I know Fred Baker dropped some words against him a few years back but is that really enough to keep on badmouthing his productions?

I mean I quite like Mojado's releases so far, but I havent really followed Mr.Sams productions lately and I know for sure that every producer might have his good & bad releases..

back to the topic: I'm anticipating this album. I like their tech-trance sound.

Oh man, this is gonna be great! The few tracks Mojado's put out have been excellent! Really lookin' forward to this.

I didnt realized that it will be new vision of Senorita from Mr sam on album.
The vocals are terrible indeed.

Check out Mr Sam - Lyteo (Original Mix), it's awful. I don't know more recent stuff from him though, probably because it's crap also. Fact is the Dimitri Andreas remixes of for example MIKE's new single & Dogzilla - Your Eyes are pure Mojado style tracks. It's all thanks to Dimitri Andreas.

The album should be good, i really like this style of music. Vocals on Senorita are awful though. O my boy, o my girl...wtf is that?

yes. Sam is known to do little to no production work but take more of the credit. Sure Mojado deserves credit, but to Dimitri not Sam. I don't see why one guy should take credit when it's other who're doing the hard work, esp creatively

If Fred Baker stopped collaborating with Mr Sam for the above reasons why did Dimitri Andreas start producing with him?

Anyway I'll probably just keep an eye out for the new tracks as I have most of the others.

fred was involved in the first mojado, but sam & dimitri went against him. From what I know dimitri decided to take the future monies of a blackhole contract over decency to fred, but was persuaded to do so by sam. it's pretty much a dodgy situation to be honest, but i just personally avoid buying anything sam's involved in for a moral stand

True, but Dimitri wasnt very popular before Mojado. And now, everybody knows this guy. What do u think, whats teh reason?
Im just curious.

Posted by EverZ on Aug-18-2005 15:05:

Fred Baker was also involved in making the 2nd single El Toro. And i also read somewhere that since Fred left, Mr Sam has a new producer guy that makes his records.

There must be some sort of soap opera broadcasting all of this that you know about and i don't. Maybe you could let me in on the secret ... i would like to watch

i agree. dimitri andreas version of dj montana's HOLLA or his own new release PANTHER.... same style as mojado. NARANJA... everyone plays the dimitri andreas vision. We can thank dimitri andreas for the harder hits. Mr. Sam can stick to Lyteos.

16 tracks!

edited or mixed to crap then apparently!

too bad, as i'd have most likely bought this one if it were full lenght tracks!

Posted by EverZ on Aug-20-2005 22:57:

They're mixed together, that doesn't really bother me, you can get all full length tracks anyway.

Posted by redzone1 on Aug-22-2005 11:07:

I heard the album and I must say it's much better than I expected.
As for the Mr. Sam issue, trust me, the dance community would be better off without him.
He really thinks he invented trance and should be no 1 in the DJ Top 100... I have even been asked by some of the record companies I make compilations for not to use any of his tracks or remixes.
On the other hand both Fred and Dimitri are fantastic guys.
I think it's Tim Coltrane that does all the producing stuff right now.

Great Album!!

And it is better mixed than ISOS 4 by Ti�sto

The first 4 tracks (Intro included) are great!!

Posted by [Oliver Noir] on Aug-29-2005 19:54:
