I'll echo this guy's thoughts:

quote:

Aril Brikha and Kompakt don’t exactly sound like a match made in heaven, do they? I would have been surprised if someone said to me that the Swedish deep techno meister was releasing on Mayer’s label, but it’s happened, and what’s most surprising is that Brikha’s Winter is a trance track. It’s not even trance in a ‘nudge nudge, aren’t we being fey and ironic’ Kompakt kind of way, more of a hands in the air Tiesto unironic way, and all that it lacks is a good drum roll to put it into the podium filling category. Maybe I’m being a bit too harsh, but it’s hard to imagine that this is the work of the same artist who released on Transmat and is responsible for ‘Groove La Chord’, but at least he compensates with the moody growling bass and soaring Motor City chords of Berghain . Are these releases, settign the tone for a year full of surprises?

Winter is trance?

I'm with Cobalt on this one. Sounds rather dull, and definitely not something i'd expect to be released on a quality label like Kompakt.

from the 50/50 responses, sounds like it depends on the listener; I enjoyed it.

I enjoy the content, it sounds better than any trance release out(though i prefer his transmat releases). i can give a whoot if its on kompakt or so so label..

winter is def a cool track

whoever said it was trance is a moron..

imho it's more along the lines of disco fused techno with a dabble of house thrown in there.

Nice trancer by Aril Brikha! Now if we could get more trance like this, it would be heaven all over again. Its good though that he doesn't care about the techno purists and does what he really wants...i remember in an interview once saying that he would like to take a more "trancier" approach in his music. So, it was true then...lol. "Bergain" is also nice. Sounds like a cross between Model 500, Maurizio and something more trancier.Which is great.


Anyway i find it more interesting then the previous basic chanel-like, detroitish stuff he was doing which were just cool but nothing great IMO. Now if he stays with this sound, i think he could create something really special...Time will tell.
