(Cvijaxo june 2004)

Idea for this mini album comes direct from my collaboration and e-mail communication with Ivan1984 - the man who reviewed us all. Curiosity is that last track  "End of Life" was made first for this purpose and I simply dropped it depressed of the thing (It was named differently).  After decision to make "The short album about living" (life is short), I came back to it ,reworked it, and it is now one of my favorites and it makes good frame with first one. It's almost 60% done of Ivan's voice so I consider him as co-author :-).

I know that some of you will see this thing like stylistic prostitution. But hey, what else life is abaut ;-).  I recommend listening whole thing as one loose conceptual track, else you'll miss little ironies and hidden jokes. Think about it. Life should not be taken too seriously - we'll all die anyway :-).

BIG Thanks to Ivan for his kindness, patience and TIME.

This album is for my brother who once said that I make boring things without rhytm .-). It was actually he who introduced me to Jamendo. Thanks bro :-)

It's also for Simone and Timmy and all other soundcrafters on Jamendo who, through their music and comments, gave me courage to publish things like Suburbia and Hard work of life (Suburbia 2).

Do not remember I said that it is boring, just that I miss some rhythm. I'm more in creative commons than in creating music, so I,m very glad that CC concept works for you an Jamendo in general.

What I like: looks like there is some thinking involved in your crating. I could clearly see some concept, even I'm not always sure I'm following it. Am I even supposed to? I like collaboration. I believe in collaboration. Collaboration fait la révolution. Like voices and melodies. Functions well as conscious listening act and as bus muzak.

Not sure I like: well if I told you that I miss some rhythm in your creations I certainly did not meant on kind dance-techno etc. I will gwet it as a joke. I do not necessarily meant that I miss rhythm machine kind of rhythm.

One could clearly see a progress.

Keep looking bro.

There is only 1 thing that got to me, otherwise I would've given it a perfect 10. At the beginning of 'Game of Life' the beat seemed a bit off...but after awhile it got better, much better.

Very nice work!! I look forward to more!

For me it's very uneven recording. I really liked four tracks, which makes half of the album, but the other four were far worse for me.
01 - very tiring, monotonous, I don't like this kind of vocals in electronica / techno;
02 - great fast techno, so much is happening, the track is full of interesting sounds, tunes and concepts;
03 - another great song, this time ambient with really dark melancholic feeling and disturbing sounds, heavily influenced by space music (J.M. Jarre comes to mind);
04 - totally chaotic techno, all these ingredients just don't mix into tasty meal
05 - ambient, but this time boring, nothing is happening, no beginning, no end, no sense or reason;
06 - heavy ambient spiced up with industrial: it's great - disturbing, inventive;
07 - another fine ambient track - similar to no. 6, again very disturbing, you never know what's around the bend;
08 - distorted vocals, boring ambient in the background - it was really unnecessary.

To sum up - if you like techno / electronica check this out, cause you'll probably find something interesting here.

Very trippy music here: hypnotic beats to begin with, and more avant-garde in the middle, though it slows down a bit too much in the middle and towards the end. Interesting horn sounds in the middle, though.

These types of sounds fill my head with thoughts and emotions.

Very cool clean production in every aspect. Good use of the stereo field and full mixing, well balanced.

Some nice styles on here, "Dance of Life" has to be my favorite, I'm a beats man.

Towards the end of the album I found it a little too ambient, but that's my preference.

Nice work, recommended.

24/06/09

A nice production in association with soft techno ambient synths and rhythms…
It’s a well thought out album, sounds interesting sometimes with very strange hypnotic effects.
What I like especially on this album is the own style!!!

Cheers

I know I've listened to this album before. I swear I've even wrote a great review...

Sorry for the lack of words, but I can safely admit that this is one album I have downloaded and listen to on my portable MP3 Player from time to time!

A lot of good creative work done! Sincere and unique artistic expression! Thank you for sharing your music!

I am as terrible at explaining why I like a piece of music as I am at describing my own. I simoply feel the music, the groove, movement, atmosphere and sense of emotion.

I am feeling this. Thanks guys, a lot.

Ivan again as part of an album of another artist. Through
contact with him, I stumble on this album. The
first song is very rhythmic, fluttering drums. The voice could have been more
clearly on the rhythm and also may be louder. The
Piano is not quite in touch with the rest of the song. I like the metaphor of the lyrics.
I'm also a great fan of Sweden, however this music is lacking in typical Swedish music.
Some good ideas inserted in this work and riffs. I
think, however, these various ideas should been further expanded. They do not come so well to the effect, because they are there only briefly
and then emerge from the next idea. Well, it is
life.
