Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

Ok, finally gave it a listen last night. For me disc one is 10/10... loved it!!

Disc two wasn't as interesting... just seemed like banging track after banging track. But in the right environment I'm sure I'd love it more.

Overall awesome compilation.

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

So, after listing to Henry transitions mix from 2 weeks, which I fokin loved and all the debate that is going on here. I decided to pay Balance 019 and I am happy that I did J
I personally love Henry Saiz sound ( his kiss mix from 2009 still one of my fav and get the frequent play time). So listened to CD 1 and though it was good (nothing amazing) i think i need to play it again couple of times, but CD 2 it bloody brilliant IMO.

I think he is a brilliant DJ & producer and I defo love this comp J

I'd put CD1 up there with one of the best discs in the entire Balance series. There, I said it.

After several listens to this, I have to say again that so many Djs try this weird/different sounds thing, and all it sounds like is ordinary music , or sometimes very good music, with weird/different sounds added Every sound on the album is an integral part of the music. He really is a bit of genius . Plus he worked bloody hard at it

CD 1 Absolutely love !!! But CD2 absolutely loves me. I get lost in it !!

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

^Ditto.

After 10 pages there's absolutely nothing else I can say about this.
What an amazing fusion of experimental, progressive, and minimal tech house. Composed by a genius.
CD1...still speechless.
This is coming close to record of the year so far. Just awaiting Sasha for Balance 020

And yes this track is on fucking repeat:

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

im with the guy above me...blown away. it was everything i hoped it would be and more. what i did is listen to disk 1 for about 2 weeks then after i felt like i got a good feel of it went for disk 2...holy shit. it was like getting hit by a bus. reminded me what i love about house/prog/whatever you want to call it. it honestly remnded me of digweed @ vagabond when at certain points of the night i was left speechless by the sounds coming out of the speakers.

its real hard when listening to my headphones while at the supermarket not to bust out dancing in the midlle of the bread isle

i would easily call it album of the year but havent to listened to much else yet. but def one of the best i've heard in years.

^^ All of the above particularly the bread aisle bit !

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

Henry was criticized for including mostly his own tracks or remixes. However, I quite like this and think in some ways it could be the future for mixed albums.

With so many 'free' sets available online this approach of entirely exclusive tracks is what sets it apart. Sure, perhaps more down tempo mixes don't really fall into this category but I still like the concept as it creates a really cohesive piece of work (reminiscent of Sasha's Involver).

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

Ok who criticised him??? I want to hunt them down

Seriously, his tracks are great , he should use them. !! What is important is that the whole is wonderful !! If he can do that with nearly all his own work , all power to him !!
