Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

I am with big expectations about this new Timo Maas work. I like a lot the Balance Series albums, have almost all of them. Some are good some aren't but the global appreciation is pleasant so i hope that Timo Maas mark his quality on this Balance 017 and let us enjoy with good sound for the next months

The Tracklist seems to be good enough, let's wait and listen!

Waiting for this since August!

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

A little teaser if anybody wants to hear it. I haven't listened to it, cause I want to wait for the actual cd. Haven't seen the tracklist to this promo, so I don't even know if it's the same tracks as what will be on the release.

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

Am seeing him tomorrow night

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

I saw him last night and he was terrible. It seemed like he had no clue about what he wanted to do or where he wanted to go with the music so he played a random assortment of tracks. It might have been okay if you were really messed up and just wanted to dance...but even then he was playing it all a lowish tempo. Very strange. At one point he pulled out Shifter and even though it's his track I don't think it's really worthy of digging out. His mixing skills were poor, making it a very jarring experience and he was fan of looping up a snare roll and hitting it with the phaser to get a buildup going...it was all a bit bedroom dj. Very disappointed.

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

That doesn't bode well. Hope he gets his act together for tonight

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

Yeah Didi, I hope he was just having a bad night!

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

DIDI, Timo Maas is not a great performer in my opinion but the albums normaly are cool. Maybe because it's not under pressure! Or at least the Live pressure!

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

I will find out tonight

Well, he was like that here as well . He looked as bored as hell. When he put on Subtellite it was almost as though he was thinking " Well I suppose you idiots all want this " So, all over the shop, mixing pretty average, programming , shit. I'n not sure whether it was him or the clubs fault but the a sound was pretty average . It could have been the club because it wasn't a usual crew. Worst thing for me is that he really looked as though he didn't want to be there, not into the music himself at all. If he isn't into his music , why would I, or anyone else, want to buy his CD ??? This is a promotional tour after all !

After all that I still enjoyed his set, he did play some amazing music, I liked the tempo most of the time , what I didn't like was the sudden changes in tempo. In his defence it was a really random crowd. The two Djs after him were trance djs, and I remember why I don't like trance

You dance your arse off for a couple of minutes and then stop , and then do it all again

He also had this guy there who was continually photographing him using a flash. I would have been really pissed off

He didn't play Chinese Massage.

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

bad night eh?

**DIDI** · October 17, 2010, 07:42:31 AM

Re: Timo Maas - Balance 017

No it wasn't actually , I still enjoyed his set, but it had the potential to be great and it wasn't. Sort of frustrating. It really brought home to me how in important a Djs attitude can be. You felt as though you were intruding on him

The night overall was quite good. There were more people I knew there than I had expected. There was a group that I danced with last week that were really good fun. I met a a couple of really nice people.

I probably just needed a hour or two more of music I love and I would have been really happy
