Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

Do you know if this will be available on beatport, djdownload, etc.?

Ditto. I was really hoping to buy this today as a digital copy...as I did for Transitions the day it was released in the USA. I hate waiting on the post!!

Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

I still have not ordered this yet but I was looking around on the web and it looks like the release was pushed to mid-November. I wonder why.

Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

i finally got my copy, after waiting a month(damn amazon.com pushed back the release date on me). really diggin this mix, it is very mellow and i expected that from what i have been reading. i like the uptempo disc of course. really good tracks, midtempo is a good cd, just wish it took off a bit sooner. just finished the downtempo disc(the last one i listened to), not bad at all. the first two cds of this album will definently become the after clubbing soundtrack. the third disc has a good energy to it, just wish there was more uptempo stuff(ie a fourth disc, could be overkill though). JVM has made quite the album out of this one. FUCK YEAH.

Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

I dug it too...CD2, then CD3, then CD1. CD2 is filled with so many fantastic tracks...with each listen I discover new elements. CD3 for me is a typical JVM warmup set...tension builders & teasers throughout. CD1 has it's place...long drive home or loungin in the house after a hard night out.

All three have been growers for me...

Quality interview

thank you! jimmy is a star!

btw. my favorite mix is the 2nd disc and i am not someone who is incredibly keen on vocals. but jimmy does them right. i really like from after the cocteau twins tune onward.. incredible build. wow. the third disc is also very cool. the mixing is immense.

Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

I've been listening to Disc 3 in the car the past couple of days, enjoying it, pretty mild for an upbeat set, but I really like it


* btw, I think the Bedrock sets are far more impressive than these, true classics

Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

I gave disc 2 a few more listens, and I really like it now. I was expecting something different the first time around, but now it makes sense.

Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

yeah i have to say these cds are really growing on me. CD 2 is really good, especially the last 4 tracks. Too Much Love is a fuckin awsome track, would love to play this maybe a little faster in the beginning of a set.
CD3 is a damn good set too. CD 1 is great for after the club or when i really want some chilled out shit..

and of course the mixing is absolutly flawless. JVM has always been one of the smoother mixers.

Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

So... let me be the first one to be really disappointed with this album.

"Uptempo"-Disk? He must be joking. The only tracks one could really
dance to are tracks 5-8. Thats an amount of 4 uptempo-tracks in CD #3.

CD2 is full of average music, lots of melodies included.
Haven?t listened to Disk 1 though. I?m afraid I could fell asleep.

So after my disappointment with Masiello and Mojo I won?t buy any Balance-CD
until I first listened to it via Soulseek...

Just my 2 cents...

...oh how time fixes things... look at my statement one year ago..

Now I must truly admit that I listen to this CDs, especially part1 and part2,
more than regularly. Both parts are perfect for afternoon or a smooth dinner
with a glass wine or two.
And if my parents are visiting, this is the music that?s being played.

I want more of this

^^^^^ Know exactly what you mean. This has happened to me heaps of times.
Alot of the good stuff people on this board listen to takes more than a couple of listens to sink in. Sometimes you've got to pay attention to the tunes for them to sink in if you get what I mean.

Re: Balance 010 - Jimmy van M

in my humble opinion i really do not think this is that great. there are soo many tracks on the first 2 cds i had in my collection for a long time. i was disappointed. i listen to a lot of ambient mixes and i have heard tons i think are better. the music is very good, but they are tracks from major labels... so yea i liked the music, but i was hoping for music i havent already heard dozens of times. if you want more music like this PM me... i have a lot you may like... i help run bsides on proton... and almost all the mixes go through me... so i can sort you out with some great stuff

and this is not to be mean or anything, cause the music is good... i just hoped for more out of JVM
