have to agree with that
just had a listen now and this has to be one of the worst CDs I have ever heard. Just way too many bleeps and bops for my liking with no real progression throughout the CD. Only track I really dig is Beanfield - Tides. |

I think the CD's full of progression. I still find it ing boring as , as I'm not interested in the genre anymore. The ableton mix to me, is more boring then a live mix or many other recent deck DJ mixes.
I find his ableton mixes rather dull and hardly pushing boundries for the ability the software has. When used as a tool (IE Richie Hawtin style'd CD) it's an amazing tool, when it's used to add a few twinkles and the odd bassline and echo, it's just a wank.
Quite a lot of old tracks on the CD.
Sasha's not on top of the game in my mind. I'm sure the CD will sell well, and I'm sure there will be a lot of people saying this is the most amazing CD ever. It takes more then this to impress me. The techno boys have been using 3 dex, Ableton and 909's. I guess my ears have been spoilt.
Oh to those who have Balance 007, if you haven't heard disc 3, you're missing out on the best disc IMO. But if you don't like the first 2 you probably won't like the 3rd one. Fortier's not a progressive DJ any more, if that's what you like or expect, you're going to get nothing from the series.

I haven't heard it yet myself, but judging by some of the recent sasha stuff, I agree with the above post.
Albeton has some potential to do some really cool things with DJing performances, but in the hands of a DJ like sasha, it can lead to a really boring set. Stop trying to impress the crowd by hiding everything you're doing behind the decks by making the music seem endless and seamless, and instead just make it sound cool. Just like the fact not all mixes have to be 3 min fades between tracks, cuts have their place too.
Sasha's recent e-mix puts me to sleep. |

| djway: Balance 007 disc 2 is amazing and it sounds pretty deep & proggy to me? the way prog should be essentially. I guess you could call it deep tech house. |

Haven't heard Fundacion yet but heard the recent e-mix and can't say I was impressed either. He's always been one at the forefront but Ableton isn't the future IMO. Track selection was dull too.
As for Fortier - Balance 007 CD2 > CD1. Smooth prog with just the right balance of melody and percussion. CD1 too techish, only a couple of good tracks. Still haven't heard CD3 yet. Fortier was bat boring live in Sydney.
Wade - where do you think Balance will go with Desyn doing the next one then? |
