Guy Gerber Remix of Mambo Jambo is the best thing I've heard from him in a long time!
Jumpy, deep, great percussion, lots of his signature atmospherics and drawn out sequencing.

Tracks 1 and 3 for me but I'd love to see 2 used in the right context
And yea this is Gerber's best work since his remix of Formation flying |

Just saw the article up on RA the other day, didn't realize this came out already.
This is a pretty awesome release. Dop is doing the business as of late. |

yeah, the original of mambo could go really well with something else underneath. |

i have some of dop's stuff - this isn't bad, but the squeaky clean sound gets to me after a while. i used to play 'im just a man' and 'merci' and i just get no urges to put them on anymore. a lot of dop stuff i find downright cheesy, like he makes good tracks and then just junks them up with bull vocal samples and weird noises. as i said, the mixing is squeaky clean, and i think it sterilizes and undermines the kind of sounds that he uses in the tracks. i still like 'allo boom boom', probably because it has no vocals.
on this release i think the guy gerber track is the best, and i really don't like guy gerber (he has said some inappropriate things to someone very close to me lol)
i can't stand the type of obligatory vocal sampling that is used in 'genius of the crowd'. i feel a lot of dop tracks sound quite contrived despite how 'loose' they attempt to be with this sort of instrumentation. sort of feel the same way about noze and a lot of the circus company stuff, but noze are just so ing weird that they pull it off.
this isn't bad, but i won't buy it.
im also ing sick of all these bland sax/flute/trumpet/trombone/sousaphone/mellophone/euphonium stabs |

| I like the Guy Gerber remix of Mamba Jumbo, reminds me of somtehing I worked on recently, which seems to happen with Guy Gerber's tracks, its like we share minds or some . Nice vibe and groove in there. |

They make pretty cheesy tracks. I'm just a man was cool because everything mostly worked well together but their latest have been weak. That Blanche Neige tune was some spoken word guy telling the Snow White story, with a big breakdown during the "Mirror, Mirror" part, plus the music wasn't even that good.
:wtf:
The only track I like on this release is the Guy Gerber remix. |
