picked it up last night at Best Buy for $9.99 - and they had like 40 copies there! why? i think only like 3 people in Wisconsin have ever even heard of Sasha before.
Grand National, Shpongle, and Lostep tracks are my favorites currently.

Definitely one of my top picks for album of the year.
Did anyone else notice similiar music elements used in both Airdrawndagger and Involver? Listen to Immortal (Airdrawn..) and to Dorset Perception (Involver).
Sasha is absolutely brillant! He is transforming this music culture.
My top tracks on this album:
"Smile" The Youngsters
"Belong" Spooky
"Talk Amongst Yourselves" Grand National
"Dorset Perception" Shpongle

Awesome album. Best track is Lostep - 'Burma'. I also love what sasha's done with Petter - 'these days', and when the vocals of U.N.K.L.E - 'What are you to me' drop over 'these days' I go nuts.
Sasha has done what PVD tried to do with politics of dancing. I liked politics of dancing but it was a bit monotonous with the whole PVD off beat bassline thing. Involver is done properly, every track sounding different.
come on wales!

Saw Sasha @ Virgin Mega Store, got a signed CD and a pic with him. Reveiewed the CD later that night, recognized a few tunes he spun at virgin. Overall I like it but it isnt my usual taste / style. Some songs I just skip. I give it 5 out of 10.
It's a shame they didn't include Cirque du Soleil's 'Pokinoi' on this cd as was originally planned. It's such a brilliant remix from Sasha... would have made a great closing track imo...

On a side note, nice Art of Noise sample by proxy of Prodigy's "Firstarter" near the end...

Wow....
Finally got my copy of Involver in. I got the special edition c.d. but frickin' Amazon gyped me on the pillow case. But that's alright. Just listened to Grand National-Talk Almongst Yourselves. Good God, what a track. I love this kind of music. Long live Prog. Will come back and type a review after listening to the rest of this.

Maybe it will grow on me but at this point after listening through Involver once, I'm just kind of like its ok... I mean the man is super talented but his style of music just doesn't do it for me. To each his own...
