Pryda - Muranyi / Balaton

Now available on Beatport. Damn good release by Prydz. I've been awaiting these tracks for a while.

Muranyi is wicked, really like it

Pretty boring as usual, judging by the samples.

Samples never do anything justice. I almost regularly get tracks that have a great sample and the full version stinks. Vice versa on tracks I pass up and then I will hear it out live or on a set somewhere and be like, what the heck was I thinking?!

I'm pretty sure they do in this case - I've yet to stay awake during a Pryda track on the dancefloor.

I've noticed in particular with Muranyi and Genesis, which is set for limited release, the break is way too long. When I play out, I edit down tracks like these and they're much more listenable and playable live (i.e. it keeps the people dancing the whole time).

And btw, both these tracks are massive live in general.

I still make fun of Muranyi for being kind of Nintendoish... but it's a catchy hook nonetheless. As for Balaton, the melody still sticks in my head since the first listen.

yea for beatport thurdays!

Not really into either of these. Heard both live and they don't sound like anything special.

I haven't heard Balaton yet, but I'll echo the sentiments previously mentioned and say that "Muranyi" really doesn't do it for me.

I've heard all these recent prydz songs and yeah they are kinda samey but I like some a lot better than others

Muranyi - some really cool sounds in here and a nice melody, but the track doesn't really go anywhere. Good for a warm up I guess.

Balaton - outstanding, my favorite pryda since Frankfurt. Again, a bit long and drawn out, but all of his songs are. Love the main melody

Madderferrys - again, love it. way too long but the percs and the bassline are epic. this is a banger. sorry for the unscientific review, but that's all I can really say. It just works for me.

Ironman - two thumbs down. nothing but blaring farty bass and a melody that goes nowhere. its worth a listen just because of the crisp production and awsome prydz sounds but he has way better

Genesis - meh, boring, a little better than Ironman I guess but that's it

Horizons - just puts smile on my face, really like this one. Just as good as balaton and madderferrys

Tigerstyle - I guess a decent floorfiller, but i don't really like it. too much farty basslines

Rymd and Armed rock too. Too bad none of these are as good Tribute to STHLM

I don't even have to read your posts in this forum anymore to know what they're going to say.

I have never heard that track. What set is it in so I may hear it?

I love the opening and closing riff/synths that loop but, yeah, the middle kind goes on for too long and isn't nearly as good.

It's not in one. He only spins it in Stockholm, where no sets have been recorded recently. It was up for a brief time at his myspace page, and now can be heard at www.ericprydz.com

Click Audio/Video, then click Audio.

Damn! He FINALLY opened up his site!

Boring release; with every Pryda-release more he went more generic. Balaton is a bit better than the A-Side, but still not good. He should release less but better stuff.

I got tired of waiting so I just stopped checking...lol

On another note, I think this is a great release. I like Balaton a bit more than Muranyi though.

Posted by TranceArmstrong on Sep-18-2007 04:27:

hmmm after a couple more listens, I still enjoy Muranyi and Balaton, especially that melody in Balaton but Madderferrys and Horizons are better. Just my 2 cents

Posted by ThomasNeil on Sep-18-2007 11:06:

Balaton is growing on me, wasn't keen at first but heard it in a promo mix & it sounds cool, prefer Muranyi though

Posted by DigDeep on Sep-19-2007 18:01:

Like em both. Not like jumping up and down over here..... but they made it to my crate last night. :P

Posted by Gauss on Sep-19-2007 18:53:

Muranyi FTW, really great track.
