Universal Religion 2008

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Armin van Buuren

Release Date December 04, 2007
I am a AVB fan, but this album does not sound hot. In fact, there isn't much he can do at this point to mix anything good, because there's too much garbage out there. No matter how much you mix garbage it still stinks.

Homework

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Daft Punk

Release Date March 25, 1997
I've been wasting a lot of money recently purchasing albums that I wouldn't normally listen to,but that have been rated five stars in various music review books that I own and,for the most part,while I don't think that any of my recent purchases merits five stars,I know that this one definitely doesn't.It easily qualifies as the worst trash that I've ever heard and,believe me,I listen to and enjoy a lot of different kinds of music from the 1930s to today.This is certanly not music;all it is is out and out noise.The critics actually prefer this to Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music"(which,admittedly,I haven't heard either,but it can't be much worse)?As the title of my review states,this CD is bad for your stereo(the constant,loud bass beats could ...

Booster

Release Date May 13, 2008
I've been a fan of TD since thier early days (Zeit, Rubycon) and this is the first time I have seen TD go back to thier early style as well as have some of the newer style of music. I still prefer their long pieces like Tangram and Pheadra, but this is a good mix of their music and its all new.

Verve Remixed, Vol. 4

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 27, 2008
First off, I have to disagree with the reviewer who said that Diplo's "California Soul" remix "destroyed" Marlena Shaw's vocals. Yes, the original can't be improved upon, but out of all the remixes on this disc, Diplo's remix is probably the most faithful to the original song. It's almost like he was too timid to really mess with such a classic, so he just locked in the tempo, added some beats, low end, a few filter effects, and that's about it. The track sounds more like something Diplo would have done for his Ninja Tune album. Most of the rest of the remixes on this release range from poor to above-average. Surprisingly, the weakest remix on this album comes from one of the strongest artists: The Cinematic Orchestra. Their beatless remix of Fitzgerald's ... Read More:

Transitions 4

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: John Digweed

Release Date May 20, 2008
With one of the best starting sequences I've ever in any album, I was excited about transitions 4. However, the truth is there is nothing worth writing home about beyond track 3 (which is absolutely delicious, I may add). What a shame, after that opening.

Blue Lines

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Massive Attack

Release Date June 29, 1992
I am 18 and I just discovered Massive Attack last year. I really liked Portishead and Tricky and thought Trip-Hop was a very interesting musical genre. But it was not until I heard Blue Lines that I understood what Trip-hop was all about. It amazes me that this album is from 1991 because it sounds much more modern and (dare I say) fresher than anything today. The rap anthems, Five Man Army and Blue lines are amazing in their arrangements and slow motion rapping. THIS is what trip hop is all about. It's not suppose to be depressing, it's suppose to be relaxing.

Just buy it and listen for yourself! Highly recommended.

by: Tricky

Release Date April 18, 1995
I HAVE MANY MAXIVE ATTACK AND PORTISHEAD CDS, I BOUGHT TWO TRICKY CDS; MAXINIQUE AND PRE-MILLINEUM. MAXINIQUE IS THE ONE TO HAVE. IT CONTINUES THE MELLOW THEME OF HIS PREVIOUS COLLABORATIONS. I'D STAY AWAY FROM PRE-MILLINEUM, IT'S DOES SOMETHING TO TRICKY'S VOICE THAT CAN START A HEADACHE...SOME OVER OR UNDER SYNTHESIZED NOISE.

Cantoma

Release Date September 13, 2005
I just played the Cantoma CD twice this morning since receiving it and it is absolutely THE most wonderful electronica CD I have - and I have many.
This CD has already sent me on a quest for another Cantoma type CD. For anyone new to Chill, Lounge or electronica music please buy this one. You will fall in love with the music and devote some of your spare time looking for CD's just like this one.
