quote:

It has been the most anticipated sequel in electronic music. False tracklistings, fake audio torrents and even doctored artwork have propelled Invol2ver into a trainspotters mystery. 4 years, 2 months and 4 days devoted fans have waited for the follow up to the release that redefined the DJ mix. In between writing and producing 3 original songs for this release, several singles for his new label emFire, scoring a surf film, composing music for TV shows such as CSI, and his hectic yearly globe trotting tour schedule, Sasha worked on and completed Invol2ver. The wait is almost over. Featuring 13 tracks worth of Sasha gold, the standard edition features Sasha's unique re-workings of musical giants such as Radiohead's Thom Yorke and American folk singer Ray LaMontagne as well as formidable electronic artists Apparat and Ladytron, while the limited edition comes equipped with a second CD of Sasha remix exclusives. Invol2ver is no ordinary mix CD. It’s a painstakingly created blend of mix and artist album in which a world class DJ pushes his creativity to its very limits, helped by a crack team of studio experts. Taking a diverse collection of tracks and picking them apart. Then weaving them into a colourful tapestry that is completely his own. Invol2ver is the sound of one of the world’s finest DJs at the peak of his powers, mixing you the future. Sasha, Barry Jamieson and the Spooky duo of Charlie May and Duncan Forbes, plus Leo Leite used every piece of dirty equipment they could get their hands on to create that lo-fi gritty sound, and loved every minute of it. “In every way, Invol2ver is closer to a production album than anything else. We were like kids in a toy shop basically, hunting out as many old mixing desks, drum machines and guitar pedals that we could find on eBay” says Sasha. By layering old guitar pedals, amps, and white noise, Barry adds “It’s like a collage of New York sounds. Old gear is so unpredictable and it had a mind of its own, this album was very spontaneous in that way.” And like NYC, the city that never sleeps, Invol2ver is alive; you just can’t get these sounds from a computer or anywhere else.

It's good but not great. The album seems to drag on a bit during the middle.

Yea true, some tracks did feel a bit dragged, almost as if he could have taken out 2-3min from some of them...but that being said, i still think it has a good linear-like progression and build..every track has something more to offer then the last and eventually leads into the epic tracks near the end

not sure if i like it more than the first one, overall i think its more well rounded but not as exciting where as the first one had more interesting tracks but it fizzled out near the end...

Listened to this a few times but I really like this mix. Powerful! Everything just flows. Definitely better than Fundacion.

9/10

I absolutely loved Fundacion, so I will differ with you on that one.
I still have yet to listen to this one. I can't wait to see what he brought to the table though.
