This album is one that has all the amazing elements of a suberb trance album! I can't believe that this artist hasn't gone public in the clubs of Europe with these tracks!!! Amazing sound production and quality. I love that it has a dark sound as well, that is my personal favorite when it comes to trance/dance. This album really sends chills down my spine. If you like trance/electronica AT ALL, download this incredible album now!
It's a pretty cool minimalist sound. Some of the same sounds are used over in just the first two tracks it sounds like, and the melodies themselves are very spiratic and experimental sounding. Good main beats and effects help this album out a lot. Vocals are a little weak in volume and clarity, but they are good in content and voice. Nice job Legend!
Ok, so it's pretty good. I was a little skeptical at first, but this album turns out to be quite the soundtrack ambient. For the most part, all the songs are slow pads and nice ambient sounds. I really like the first and second tracks. They really tell a story, which is very important in pieces like these. They are all very beautiful tracks, which comes to my surprise because there is usually an ugly duckling in there on albums like these. Although, Bonjour came close to that, it's good enough to say that it's not the ugly duckling, just a little out of place...like a giraffe in a flock of ducks. :-P Nice job, Xavier! I really like your work!
I hope you don't plan on doing anything productive when you listen to this album, because it will definitely keep you from it. This album is beyond relaxed and chill. The live sounding instruments (saxaphones, flute, etc.) and pads pull the tracks together to form a head-clearing sound. Very nice work Serakina. I digg it!
One of the best chill albums that I've heard on Jamendo. Everything in this album works towards its benefit. The vocals are great, both in content and voice. Something that you don't find common in most Jamendo electronica albums. A great album all the way through!
Congratulations Klangform, on your astonishing work!
I really like this ambient album! It's got it all from A to Z. There are amazing moments here and there, but most all of it is good. The way all the pad melodies tie in together is incredible. One of the top 5 ambient albums I've heard on Jamendo! Nicely done Lagrimas!
Awesome melodies and amazing sounds are the key. I really like the first song. It has a very nice off-beat melody that is passed off to a variety of different sounds. A very nice production.
Water Dance, the second track is good as well. The vocals seem a little out of place, but the mechanical, robotic nature of the vocals buff that problem out pretty well. Some of the same sounds are present in the first track, but not too worry as long as all the tracks don't host the same samples. Good transitions to new sounds and intersting background pads really help this track along. A nice job in my book!
Hey You is probably my least favorite track. It has some good parts, but in general lacks what most of the other tracks on this album have.
Hybrid is a more relaxed track from most of the ones heard on this album. It's still good though. A good bassline and a little retro sounding beat make this track impressive.
The fifth and final track, "Under the Influence Electronica" starts out pretty slow with some nice pads to help along the trancy melody that plays along. Good harmony change helps this album out a lot as well as good breaks. There is a sound introduced somewhere in the middle of the track that I don't particularly agree with. It just sounds too hard and out of place for the tracks main feel. Nevertheless, a great track.
Overall, this album is very good. All the tracks sound the same as far as sounds chosen go, but other than that it's great! Good melodies and professional sounding samples are the main ingredients of this album. Listen and decide for yourself.
It's pretty simple as far as dance electronica goes, but it has the essentials. I'm not so sure I like the intro vocals to the songs, but to each his/her own. The melody in Tequilla is pretty cool, although I think the beat could have used a little more umph, as well as more background sounds and pads to make a more harmonious composition. The second track is a little flavorless. The melody is a little random for me, but with a partner creating a duet of sound it could be pretty dynamic. Like I said in the first track, it just lacks complexity and pizazz. Not bad though. Try it out.
The first track reminds me of an artist that's not on Jamendo, but last I checked his music was free. An artist by the name mModule. If you like Gnarl check out his stuff. That's the first thing that came to mind listening to this track. Gnarl is a pretty solid on-the-downbeat track, which doesn't usually follow the flow of Jon Wayne's normal productions. It's quiet and somewhat reserved. I would almost call it an intro rather than a song.
The second track, Jamboro, brings us back to the "Jon Wayne" style of music. Showing off Jon's personal style of what can best be described as technically placed randomness. Lots of drums and harder sounds make this track what it is.
Dynamo starts out a little like the first one, quiet. The track itself has a chill beat to start and stays fairly quiet throughout.
Trudge is the fourth and final track. Right off I hear the clap sample which sounds a little out of place to me, but nevertheless I enjoy the beat that it helps produce. This is by far my favorite track, with many more sounds holding delay effects and better sense of flow when all the sounds are present. Good breaks and introduction of new sounds are done well. It gets a little stagnant in some areas, but other than that a good production.
It's a pretty solid album. I have to say I like it better than his first album. It's not exactly my cup o' tea, but try it. Might hit your taste buds just right.
The first album this artist has posted on Jamendo, although they have been composing for some time based on descriptions and such. I really like the style of this album, it's not really traditional in many ways. It also holds a Crystal Method kind of beat in some of the songs, which is really cool to me. While the beats are similar to those of Crystal Method, the melodies are hardly at all. Mostly ambient and generating a field of sounds once the tracks gets going, it's very dynamic and interesting. Most of the tracks have a dark feel, which I like as well. Good job Patient 99, keep up the good work, I can't wait for the next album!
