Sehr experimentierfreudiges werk...Hut ab!
Ja,klar wie auf fast jeder CD kann mir nicht alles gefallen...aber fast jedes teil

Hier könnt ihr (du) mein 2tes album auf Jamendo hören...falls intressiert?
Jamendo : The Abogix (JK) - Tales of mystery and imagination
The Abogix (J.K.)
Nice album, Jacki is great sond.
Rough mixing and poor ideas, but there's good potential behind this. Keep it up!
C'est fou comme les allemands ont une maturité sur les "sons froids" de l'electro. En voici encore un exemple qui rappelle un peu les trips à la Aphex Twin et Sven Vath réunis tant dans l'univers tordu des mélodies de synthés qui s'entrecroisent et se touchent avec une étonnante douceur dissonante et le traitement tellement bon du son et des rythmes. merci !!! encore !!! encore !!!
Prinzipiell ist das Album gut gemacht, was mir etwas fehlt ist irgendwie 'Soul' dahinter.
Es mag echt ein subjektiver Eindruck sein, aber ich fühle nichts, wenn ich die Musik höre.
Ich wette aber, mit etwas weniger belanglosen Texten und etwas mehr Liebe könnte da echt noch gut was gehen.
Potential ist auf jeden Fall da.
Mir gefällt downstairs wirklich gut, hatte heute sogar einen Ohrwurm davon ;)
Als ich das Album zum ersten Mal nach einer langen Nacht morgens in Bus/Bahn gehört habe erschien es mir zu langsam. Mir hat irgendwie der Pep gefehlt. Mir würde ein Breakcore Remix Album bestimmt gefallen ;)
Nunja, irgendwann ist mir Electro Maniac Part 1/? dann doch nochmal in die Playlist geraten und da haben sich dann gewisse Sympathien für Stücke wie 'downstairs', 'always alone part 3' oder 'the house is burning part 1' entwickelt.
Bin mal gespannt, wie es weitergeht und freue mich auf die nächsten Erscheinungen.
To start, I'm a bit tentative about listening, but it says the magic word for me in the tag list 'experimental', that opens the vista. I don't usually go for the rave sound anymore, went off it when it stopped being about free parties and enjoying yourself. It turned commercial and part of a persons street credibility, even if it was only in that they could afford to go! For me, as usual, it was the spirit in which it was done and I probably spent as much time looking for the parties as I did actually being there. So, the Intro is OK. Downstairs on the other hand, presents a different atmosphere and delivery. Nice minimal electronics.
Always Alone: Part 1 carries on in its minimal techno way. I quite like it and the progressions are very low-key and subtle. It is quite relaxing actually, and though I have the rest of the album to go yet. It does pick up a bit as it wends its way through my ear channels. And blends nicely into Part 2, which is an entertaining fusion of sounds and rhythm. I like it, has good pace and quite dramatic towards the end, as it builds for the Part 3. At first, led by melody (I don't think the voice helps it). Would have been happy with a finale in instrumentalist style.
The House Is Burning: Part 1 is good, reasonable electronic music. Which I like. In Part 2 again the music is fine, and this time the voice work is more interesting and fits in more appropriately. I think because it is more obviously part of the rhythmic structure perhaps, and systems breaking down fascinate me. It has been such a big part of my work, in many different ways. Now, I am just a user!
Ragga Riddim is actually nothing like I expected and is quite a decent piece of minimalist electro. Some good sounds going on. I am seeing where the experimentalism is coming into play, methinks. Then we have, Jacki. An interesting play with sounds and rhythm. Quite likeable and easy on the aural digestion. Raw Rainy Day is excellent stuff, nicely poised and puts me in a slightly uneasy position myself in making a judgement. When a track like this comes along, I think brilliant, but then there are aspects which, not spoil, but detract slightly from what I think is already effectively achieved. My mind keeps altering perspective and I'll probably go for the middle, though I would love to give it a nine/ten. And then, Ready for Monkey Jump makes me think nine again. Confused.nut! Love this track.
OK, now for the round up of the album. E-Sound is Nice: Part 1, straightforward electronic musical structure, with an almost funky blending and a bass that's good enough for a Cocoon recording. Strolls casually into Part 2 with all the breaks, bleeps and beats you could want from electro. Nicely going up in my estimation. I'm already looking forward to getting around to the other volume, but I have a system in play, with which I spread myself thinly. A nice threesome, as Part 3, winds its way into my receptive brain. Overall, a very good album, though I think without some of the voice layers, could have been awesome. Sometimes they worked out well, but when they were more integrated I feel they were more acceptable. Thanks for the listen.
Da mir das Genre ansonsten eher fremd ist und ich wenig mit theoretischen Betrachtungen anfangen kann:
- einfach gut hörbar, teilweise wirklich genial ;)
Sehr schön gelungenes Cover, auch wenn mich die Schriftart des Albumtitels eher an Enya denken lässt als an electro ...
J'adore vraiment très bel album. Bonne suite aa+
I must say, that this is not the music I usually listen to, but nonetheless, I like it. It's conventional electro/techno in the german tradition, as I get it.
I have to say, I don't like the first song, as it strikes me to try to be cool, but it doesn't quite get the job done. I think it's the vocals. The album'd have been better of without them.
So if you like electronic music, I can suggest this album (perhaps minus track one) as a good background for your next party!
