Balance 013

I wouldn't say 'unbelievable' personally, but a solid effort imo

I think for what it is, CD 1 is actually the best attempt at a pseudo-chill-house that I have heard (flows much better than Jimmy Van M's first disc on Balance 010 imo). I've listened to CD 3 the most and it has some fantastic moments - i wasn't expecting that almost old-skool tribal/deep prog hosue vibe from the tracklist - but then it gets completely ruined by an awful vocal or something at other moment either (Desyn imo lol).

All in all sometimes kinda my thing, at other times completely not my thing, but that's probably kinda the point with the diversity they're trying to bring as a group of artists.

that is probably a more well thought out response i was very happy just cruising along with CD3 and then there was this weird, loud percussion which just hit my ears, personally which i thought was out of place.

CD2 was my fave as it had smooth, bouncy summer prog which is what i like.

still hoping 16Bit Lolita's will get brought onboard for a mix.

loooooooves it

there are a few moments that hurt my ears tho, like when they add in percussion n stuff coz it tends to be a bit louder than the rest of the music, and can make it sound a bit out of place, other than that love all 3 cd's

speedy j - de-orbit...my god

Some dude on WDJ reviewed this, i think he gave it 3.5/5 ...

Disc 1 is really solid for 'good' music, the other two discs are on and off, has some great moments...

LOLLLLLLL

Ehmmm, Now I listened all the CDs I can safely say this compilation is worth buying. I liked the second CD the most. Track 5 Spirit Catcher - Brain Candy is mad. 3rd has some great moments and the first is OK but too sloow for my taste. 7/10
Looking for an on-line store to purchase now.
