Re: Involv3r ... what do you think?

I was bit unsure on the album although love most of the tracks on it.
Sat night though he was brilliant, best i've heard him in years and you could see he was loving it too. the tracks sounded great on that system and the healing is defo a club track.
he can be hit and miss these days which is a shame but when he plays like that hes still one of the best.

A huge disappointment.

All the great tracks from last year's Voyeur set are long gone.

The only 2 tracks from that set that made it were Battleships and The Healing, hopefully some of the others will make it out in some form or another

I love it still. OK, it doesn't have the 'flow' as you'd expect from the master but it is a good party cd. And I saw him Easter Monday and each track on it sounds amazing live, through a bigger sound system!

I hope they do Matt. It would be great if he released the Voyeur remixes of Bonobo - Eyesdown and Karl Moestl - Life & Happiness. He could also release the Voyeur remixes of The Healing and Flutes which would make a nice EP.

Seems the Blondes Wine track was in his Shelbourne set too so thats 3 of the involv3r tracks he was playing last year that made it onto the album

Re: Involv3r ... what do you think?

i think his mixmag cd was by far much better mixed than this involver... there's no flow on this one.
If you give him the same tracks and tell him to mix them live right now, the result would be better....

at the production level, for me, all the tracks are bombs...
I don't think there's anybody around that can come up with so many quality gems in one round IMHO.

Would definitely like to see that Karl Moestl mix he did get released, was one of my favourite tracks from his Miami sets last year

I have to say I really like Inv3, right up until the shoot you down track. Poor ending. Ok, the mixing at times is rushed but its the tracks are generally very very good.

This is Involv3r in a nut shell.

I think this is correct. You could probably give Sasha the unmixed copies of these tracks and two CDJ players, and he could live mix the identical track list for the entire CD to sound more fluid and coherent than the abruptly engineered mixes they did in the studio.

I love the tracks on the album, but the mixing really turns me off at times. Seems to me that a big part of the allure to remixing every track on an album, as has been done for the Involver series, is to have a higher degree of control over the transitions from one track to the next. You can basically engineer your mixes to be as perfect as you want. The first two Involver albums displayed this brilliantly.

The mix into The Healing nearly causes me to drive my car off the road every time.

Re: Involv3r ... what do you think?

I've been in love with the beatless mixes ever since I heard them!

Re: Involv3r ... what do you think?

This cd just gets better and better after each listen. Both cds are fanastic. The live video mix is also awesome. Only complaint is that it should have been included as a dvd or blu-ray not as a d/l.
