Sasha - Involver (pg. 12)

Personally, I think Involver is Sasha's best mix album since GU 013.

Like others have said, it borrows some of his sound from airdrawndagger, yet manages to keep it's own identity and mix things up enough to keep it going.

Sasha is definitely moving in yet another direction though, more guitars in this album than I've heard in a prog comp in a long time.

Great stuff though, any Sasha fan should be pleased with it, and if you don't like prog, then why would you bother forking over the money for it? :conf:

well...I used to be a Sasha fan. I mean, its good music if you like really slow prog, for lack of a better description. I'll trade the old Sasha sound in any day for this new one. No offence.

Felix Da Housecat is PROG!?! LOL... j/k I know what you mean, but in context, it's funny, and goes to show how masterful Sasha is at incorporating what is in fact a diverse variety of tracks into a unified whole.

I call this:

SASHA COE-HESION

;)

Well, that track has been mentioned as the 'throw-in' to the disk, and generally out of place, but I think Sasha tweaked it enough to not only:

a) Be a damn good track

but

b) To actually go along with the other stuff pretty well.


Your mileage may vary of course...

Heh, I've been listening to this cd for months now and I actually went through and read this entire thread. This is the best cd I've bought all year, hands down. Smile and Dorset Perception are my favorite tracks. This is one of those albums I can listen to all the way through, and I don't need to be in a specific mood to choose this to put into my cd player.

anyone have the 2cd edition? i'm thinking of buying it, but am unsure atm as i don't know if it's mixed or not and if not are the tracks full or edited? also i haven't heard all those tunes on the 2nd cd so i'd need to listen to it before i buy anyway. if it's full mixes it's too bad smile isn't on it as it's by far my fav track off involver.

I haven't listened to the remix cd yet, i'm still stuck on the regular mix cd, can't get enough of it even tho i've been listening to it for months :eyes:. i love burma the most, then it's proly talk amongst urselves and then dorset :tongue2

i believe the Gus Gus track was edited and cut down to ~5 mins or so, which i think is really just butchering it.
i read that somewhere, though. don't own the album myself, so you might want to ask around, or if someone else here could confirm it.
