I can see, despite my feeling the previous albums being a misstep in sound for you, that they were, in fact, secretly building it up for something bigger. I don't know what it is, exactly, but your sound is seemingly coming together, for me. It's much more cohesive and enjoyable this time around, being fit for the title it's been given. Everything seems like it's in place, meaning you've found your foundations for the potential of even greater works in the future. It's not all there to call it an essential download (few unknown key elements are non-existant, here), but it is something people need to try out.
Listen to it.
A completely skillful piece of work. This artist really steps it up in terms of technicality and production in this album. I'm quite impressed with the drum breaks and smooth flow from each movement...don't take the genre lightly, this is as if Jazz were to be played with Electronic sounds.
Incredible. You must download this if you want new music.
What a style. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't completely bewildered and inspired by this album, just as much as his others.
Not much more to say. It's a masterpiece in my eyes.
In fact, this is so far away from your other work that I refuse to believe it was done by the same person. I could've sworn I've heard these exact compositions somewhere else under another name, but that's just me. There are hints of brilliance in this album, don't get me wrong. the drum patterns on "may flights", while mostly uninspired, tend to be reaching the level of genius in terms of technicality. There are moments of "evil calm" that bring together the otherwise unblended instruments together to cohesively give a few miniature moments of brilliance, but then return to their ways of regretfully living together in the same song. The album follows this suit, while showing some really cool moments, really has a bunch of pointless detours from what I feel to be the point of this album, which is to bring innovation to trip-hop and the likes, which he does in one song, "fusion ha", which is the stand out track.
Most of the album is a series of mini-drones with distorted drums behind them, and this would be totally normal under another moniker, but knowing the previous work of the artist tends to get me thinking if they were completely in this album full force or not. This artist's usual attention to detail is what really got me to become a fan of his, if you may, but I just don't see any of that attention here. It's as if these are rough drafts to a potentially mind-blowing album.
Overall, I'm disappointed with this release and hope "i am this" stays with his calling card of his past albums.
there's not too much music that can both be background music as well as music that demands your attention for a deeper listen at the same time, but they manage to do it with this release.
Something special for Jamendo.
I can't believe I'm not paying for this.
Just...Wow.
Complex, smart, catchy...you guys are the real deal.
I think i am this is one of the better artists here on Jamendo, and his/her work is very unique on this site. Their music is consistently good on a basis where I expect more from them than I would another artist on here, so I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't match their earlier work, but the truth is that this album is fantastic, extremely worth downloading and in dire need of repeated listens. What they do with the complex rhythms on the tracks is amusing as much as it is admirable.
I recommend this to anyone. Good work.
one of the most unique, jazzy, imperfect experiences you can find on Jamendo.
download it now.
Tight tracks get in a lot of sounds, manipulation reminds me that of Squarepusher and the likes of that music...
Very good production.
Catchy, complex and upbeat...and it's Zelda!
