Great great cd. Very chill but some great beats.

I've got a question, does anyone know a site where you can purchase artist or album specifc t-shirts? I know thats a long shot but just asking.

i like vocals (i don't look forward to them, but i like them) .. and i find them good ONLY IF they are used correctly .. if you are going to use some cheesy 3 beat sequence and use some squeaky female alto voice to fluff the song and make it popular, then i find it awful ..

the vocals were all right .. the beats were good .. i really had to seperate myself from their previous single 'protected' with sandra ferrati when listening to this album ...

i say 8 / 10 .. a good chillout album

Definitely worth all the hype it has gotten. Almost a pure masterpiece. And I'm a general skeptic about progressive trance/house music. Reason being I feel it's just so mass produced. Producers slap a 4/4 beat on a 9 minute long track, introduce 4 elements into the mix, add a synth, and call it progressive. I'd say that's regressive and the only thing keeping it from being techno is the trancey synth.

This being stated, this album certainly breaks from the mold of mass-marketed, mass-produced progressive music. This album screams atmosphere from every nook, cranny, rivet, and reverb. The vocals that are in this are very minimal, only there to appeal to the atmoshpere. Haunting echoes, a completely icey, spacey vibe is just set throughout this album.

My only fault (and I guess someone could chop this up to creative pioneering) is that the album doesn't flow as well as I thought it should. Kind of choppy transitions, and very choppy at some points. It will go from haunting echoes to a heavy, dirty house beat with a female vocalist thrown in without any real follow-in. Leaving me to question was this a dj mix, or just a compilation of tracks.

But, that really doesn't detract too much from the absolute brilliance of this album. It sets an atmosphere, which is what a progressive record needs to do since they aren't meant for filling the dancefloor.

Pick this up!

is it possible that these are all male vocals? =) Maybe you have a problem with female voices or something? ;) Because this album contains great vocals! I mean, how can you NOT like the ones in for example 'scared to lose'?

There is more beyond Chable, Schulz & Canned . They are simply not progressive.

I agree with n0bben to some point, that there may be too many vocals on the album. Not to say that i can chose a single track and say that it is bad though.

Ur, is crap though:D
