Transformation

A 10 tracker with a hint of ambience, a dose of chill, a layer of trance and more thrown in. Sparse vocals, solid construction and crisp production. A very promising beginning.

Individually each track comes across well but listening to it as a whole, the impression it leaves is one of sameness. No one track is outstanding but equally no tracks are weak. I just wish there had been an attempt to try something a bit different on a couple of tracks and not have played it quite so safe throughout. It might have just lifted the album a notch.

So as it stands, very listenable and enjoyable, a highly competent release which just falls a little short of the mark for me.

I recently downloaded what I thought was a nice sounding electronic album. It turned out to be a selection of Ukrainian folk songs. Such is the multi-national world of Jamendo. This release with the title "transformation" and an artist "electron7" is the real thing however. You get just what you expect and that in turn gets everything off to a good start.

Talking of good starts that’s what we have here, a good start. It continues in that manner enveloping you in a warm, consistent way before sucking you in with its enduring familiarity. One track just blends into the next. This is the sort of music I think I would enjoy best on a longish drive in the summer, roof down and with this playing all around me. However, this is Ireland in December and so I will have a long wait to test out the truth of this particular thought.

For me the best track is number 4 - emotions. That is the one I go for if I am having a quick listen. My least favourite is number 3 - goodbye. It has a few too many gimmicky bits in there for me, I would have preferred it if it had been performed a little straighter. (A friend visiting me when the album was playing thought track number 6 best) The overall impression the album gives me is one of pleasant similarity - reassuringly safe rather than dynamic. If you try the first track and enjoy it then you can feel safe in the knowledge you will enjoy the rest, just as I did.

An very nice classy, elegant,electro, ambient with music that will carry you away into this wonderful land of amazing, beautiful, artistic, smooth wonderful music. A fantastic and pleasant and very enjoyable experiance is had by all these great tracks.

Pleasant listening
