You're late, the robotic plink plonk is no longer in style.

All about the 70s and disco stuff now. You know, wokka wokka porn guitars, phasers, squirty synths, high single-note violins, and Shaft basslines.

Also, in order to be cool every track must include a sample of black people singing or talking. Doesn't matter how the sample is used, or which people are in it, but they must be black. This gives your track automatic soul.

It's funny how you guys think that if a producer made one or two bad tracks recently, then they've been "bad for years".



I listened to some of the album samples and they were good. But I didn't want to listen to them all as it would spoil some of the fun of the album. Also, because of Amazon's pricing structure, I didn't want to pay $4 for a couple tracks when the entire album is $7. You'd be dumb not to get the extra 8 tracks for free for that price.

Originally posted by Rodri Santos Khepera & Rosaires are already released , i don't like that artists include released material on the albums but i love this 2 tracks, khepera has a psy edge that it's lovely and the breakdown it's not a boring breakdown, i feel like in egypt. Love it. The 1st single "my mind is with you" it's quite good in my opinion, i don't like vocal tracks but this vocals are well placed on the song, the pluck it's overused by most Anjunabeats artists and i hate it but i like how A&F place it on their productions. And my favourites: -Menes (Amazing from the beginning to the end) -Perfect Red -Sandgroper (This must be floorkiller) The other tracks on the album aren't of my taste but this ones are pretty euphoric, i've been a great fan of them so i can't say many bad things about them, i'm still loyal but i hope that they don't produce more lowtempo tracks, i find them enjoyable to work with them on the background but that's it, hopefully they aren't playing them on live sets but well adds some variety to the album. "Listening" it's their mainstream aproach, they do well can't be a fan of this track but stomps every AvB, Tiesto popy production. "Paradise" it's a good chill track , not as good as old Chicane albums but good production values. Stop hating them, they are one of the few good producers nowadays

I didn't say they were bad, but the album has a bunch of dud tracks. Like "Still" for example...it's just a boring interlude for 4 minutes. "It Will Be Ok" is another example...a dull Armada vocal track that I'll never listen to again.

And the good tracks, like "Menes", "Perfect Red", and "Breeze" are too short, especially the latter two. Why do they need to be that short on the album? The endings for both of those tracks feel awkward...you're getting into it and it's like they press the stop button and it's over.

Going into this album I knew that there would be short tracks, and you can make short tracks work, but the way they edited them didn't work at all.

Originally posted by osterzone BTW the pluck synth is more overused than supersaw right now in trance...no doubt.

Yep.

And IMO , Aly & Fila DID made some good stuff , but those stuff that they make after Rosaries seems to lose the energy A&F used to carry , so well , it sounds like shit.

But , what the heck , I'm still loving Rosaries.

Originally posted by osterzone Half of it sounds like your standard Aly & Fila trance and the other half is your generic Armada vocal trance [...]

So you bought an Aly & Fila album that was released by Armada and are now complaining that it sounds like an Aly & Fila album released by Armada?
Are you an idiot?

True, however, in this case, they have never been good.

You upgrade your meal and drink to the bigger size a lot, don't you?

No. I never do that.

Again this is common sense here.

It's a 15 track album and each track costs a dollar. If you like four of the tracks, that's $4. But if you pay $3 more, you get an additional eleven tracks (around 30 cents each) by getting the whole album.

And on Beatport its $2 a track...so it even makes less sense to purchase a couple tracks off the album.

You did right, i bought this album for 2 reasons:

- Good audio quality, i'm sure i will play some of the tracks from the album so better get them on good quality than on 192 kbps or 320 VBR.

- I loved 5 tracks or so and liked another 5 , the other tracks are not of my taste but some of them could be played on a warm up or simply for home listening.

Thought the same, pay 10$ or more for a couple of tracks or get a full physical album for 15$? I put on a SD card the key of the tracks along with the cues and it's fine.

And Aly & Fila may have lowered his quality a bit after rosaires, but "lost language" and his first tracks are mindblowing, "Uraeus" it's a banger with no breakdown , if they stop producing tracks like this they'll surely lost me and a few others but they're still good.

No. Common sense would be buying the tracks you like and saving $3.

Just because it's a good deal doesn't mean that it's good music. Look at all the compilations on iTunes that are $10 for 100 songs. Do you buy them? I mean, it's common sense, right? That's 10 cents each!

You just look for things to argue about, don't you?
