mini reviews #11

eleventh edition now and for this one i decided to ask someone i don't really know much about. i've never actually talked to this person (apart from fake threats back and forth) or know anything about this person. i know that his name is matt, he's canadian and is of korean descent. only reason i know of him is because he is/was quite a character at the musicrelated forum i've posted on.

normally when i asked someone for this thing i'm either a friend or a fan of their work or like their taste in music. both me & him have questioned their respective taste in music many of times and this is why i asked him to do the selecting. so on with the show then.

01. the crystal method - trip like I do | youtube
it's nice and usually i really go for bigbeat like this on later years but it doesn't go outside of "nice"

02. linkin park - papercut | youtube
off an album that i've listened to a lot in my teens that i can't listen to anymore besides "points of authority"

03. dmx - slippin' | youtube
i have problems with dmxs voice and the tracks i like from him is because of the beats. this is one those but wiith good lyrical content.

04. shades of love - keep in touch (body to body) (mental mix) | youtube
typical new york mid 90's garage, i like it.

05. the chemical brothers - block rockin beats | youtube
i heard this first as a 13year old, still love it to this day.

06. dastrix - dude in the moon (luna mix) | youtube
it's nice and kind of funky and i like those filtered hoovers but that's about it

07. gary clail - who pays the piper (perfecto mix) | youtube
never heard this before but i like it, but i'll take the lemon remix or grace's orange over it any day

08. leftfield - original | youtube
that bassline. i love this track.

09. chuckie akenz - that's the way it goes | youtube
good lyrical content but it's let down by horrible singing & being really uninteresting musically.

10. dumonde - never look back | youtube
as far as overblown epic trance goes, dumonde were excellent at it. i still like this one but it has to be the "just talking" version.

thanks for those ten mar. and as always i asked if he wanted to anything extra about his picks and the response was:
aside from my lord jesus christ, these tracks really bring meaning to my life.
right on.
