This is good playing and a good recording, but the songs:
"Beat Goes On" (Sonny Bono)
"Sandu" (Clifford Brown) and
"Dexterity" (Charlie Parker)
are all under copyright and should not be available on Jamendo. The composers are not even given credit due.
This is an enjoyable and well produced track. I like it. Why am I rating it 6 instead of higher? I'm taking exception to the trend of publishing each new song an artist finishes as an album. I've seen a lot of this lately and I think it's just an attempt to get a bigger share of page hits on Jamendo. In the rating pulldown box, 7 is for "Good album." This is a good song, but at just a little over four minutes, it is not an album.
This is a very well produced techno album, and if I had my choice of only one techno album from Jamendo, I might possibly choose this one from the other 20,000. Why is there so much techno music on Jamendo? Are there really enough fans to support this huge volume of techno music? Or is it because the music tools in use now make it so easy to produce the endless loops of samples and beat patterns that there's little entrance barrier to make a techno album?
This album is very well done, and if I had heard it 5 - 10 years ago, I might have liked it better, but it feels like I've already heard it before while I'm listening the first time.
Thank you to JORGESTRADA for this beautiful album that will now be part of my regular listening. If you have not done so, please click on the link for the album art and wallpapers. The graphic design is excellent. It should win an award
Is that really Jon Anderson from Yes? I couldn't tell.
This is probably a pretty good Yes tribute band. It sounds like Yes and most of the vocal harmonies and instrumental parts are reminiscent of early 1970s Yes. All the way down to the Rick Wakeman organ riffs and Steve Howe guitar licks. If you are into Yes, you'll most likely enjoy this.
This is a well polished gem by Mudit Sood. I especially like track 4, Lengthy Essay. There are some new sounds on that track that I have never heard anyone else do. I would encourage Mudit to take even more risks on his next album.
Hey, this could have been a lot worse (better). That said, it really does appeal to my sense of "badness." Some of it is really cool bad, like Gilles Snowcat, sounds like noise I might make at home while drunk and bored on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Other tracks are calculatingly bad. Only a true master like Coke Al-Jose can crank out a horrible car wreck of a tune like Seaside Casino Romance. Then there's bad in the classic sense with Giant Squid March on Washington and The Chadderandom Abyss. Gotta had it to Mudit, too, just for trying. Crazy Musician is trying my nerves right now!
And while I'm on a roll, please bear with me while I plug some of the truly awful artists that have produced some of the biggest musical turds to date: The Exploding Plastic Inedible show by Astro Al live at Goatstock 3: http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/8458 .
If that doesn't make you retch, try GBVO by the Greater Boston Visionary Outpost: http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/4076 . Very strange that some people liked this album, but the one French reviewer got it right! GBVO sucks! If you're just looking for a totally f'ed up sound to completely ruin your evening, you can always try: http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/24844 . To be honest, I don't think that Hello Shark is all that bad, but they do sound almost exactly like this in a live performance. The reviewers were slamming the quality of the recording, but hey, they weren't at the show, so what would they know?
Your's in awfulness,
Randy
An amazing recordng! What impresses me is how realistic and expressive the orchestra sounds. At times I could swear that it was a real orchestra. This isn't a big trick with an instrument like the harpsichord, but the strings sound fantastic. It is all rendered precisely and expressively. The compositions have a good deal of serious baroque thrills and faithfully follow the practice of 250 years ago. Nice job!
It is good to see well performed music by serious composers on this site, and this music is at the top of my list. I am looking forward to hearing more music from Sergio Naddei. lo specchio delle cose is a brilliant work! It has something that is missing from most contemporary chamber music these days... a sense of drama and intrigue.
Although this isn't quite long enough to qualify as an album, and it isn't my favorite genre of music, I wanted to leave a review to say that it is clear that Mudit Sood is on his way to develop his musical talents. Dynamic Inheritance shows that he clearly can develop and produce a good song and is adept at using his tools to produce a good sound. What I think is next is to put more effort into developing more interest in the songs. My favorite tracks are 3 and 2, in that order, and I would enjoy hearing A Ride in my Mind before it was a techno tune.
Please keep up the good work!
