Advantages: Great psy trance album, not repetitive
Disadvantages: won't appeal to hardcore spy trance fans

...just not up to usually IM standard. IM have released their new album Infected Mushroom - The supervisor, which is, I am happy to say a vast improvement over the last. The supervisor - Mediocre track, probably the weakest track on the album, this more of a commercial psytrance track than anything else. This track would be at home at a festival or similar event. Ratio Shmatio: amazing song, good build with a climax just like in the first IM songs ...
...track IM have incorporated Michele Adamson's voice into it and have mixed her singing into the track superbly. Meduzz: This track moves off in to the more orchestral direction and is lot darker than most of the other tracks. The machine sounds in the track also add good character to this track Cities of the future: I really like this track most people don't because Duvdey sings in it . Such a good beat in this track and one of thr craziest tracks ... Read review

Advantages: armin, trance tracks, nice range of memories
Disadvantages: doesnt do ASOT justic

As a ture ASOT & armin van buuren fan of course this was on my purchase list. ASOT radio shows tend to be the main highlight of my weeks and i am a frequent listener seeing some of the top tunes of the year on the cd was pleasing however, i wouldn't go crazy to get my hands on this better off listening to armin weekly! the cd has definatly missed some of the best tracks from later on in 2007 but this is nicely packed with good tunes from the early ...

Advantages: Original, POUNDING BASS
Disadvantages: naff lyrics!

...dry and generally meaningless but in this type of music you expect that. To describe it is a Prodigy for the next generation is fair i think and this album really is a classic already. The general feel of the tracks is similar, with one or two exceptions, the receipe being an acoustic start, heavy build up and powerful, low frequency repetitive and catchy taglines. Since i've owned it, It's been on loop in my car CD player wowing my friends with ... Read review

Advantages: composition, easy listening, sound quality
Disadvantages: none

...with some smooth downtempo in Dial 'M' For Monkey, delivering quality tracks like "Noctuary" and "Flutter". This album carries a slow, measured ambience that caresses the soul. Downtempo (or Downbeat) is a very laid-back style of electronic music, similar to ambient music. It's usually permeated with funky head bobbing rhythms, the stressed beat coinciding with the downtempo e.g. the first and third beat of every measure (a segment of time in musical ...
...corresponds to the uptempo. Dial 'M' for Monkey makes use of looped jazz riffs and simple yet mesmerizing basslines, always letting the consumer retain more with each listen. In fact, Bonobo is best appreciated in its subtlety and "little" sounds. It's easy to listen to, as it has the tendency to migrate to the back of the mind, but it also has a lot of depth for those who are willing to pay close attention. Every single track is high quality, ... Read review

Advantages: nostalgia, vocals, composition
Disadvantages: nothing to do with previous album

When Multiply was released I believe something must have exploded supernova-like in outer space due to some cause and effect phenomena. This was my first experience listening to Jamie Lidell, though I had seen his name on the Warp website for sometime. I tried to listen to his other albums afterwards, but to be honest, I was quite disappointed! Here Jamie has shook the ground with an attempt to recreate the early funk soul groove of the 70's and ...
...I come back Around" I felt like I was being taken back in time to the era of funk. I can imagine Otis Redding, Michael Jackson and James Brown trembling. While it's by far the best album I've heard in years, in comparison to his earlier work, there's absolutely nothing in common. Anybody can listen to "Multiply" easily, but other Jamie Lidell albums are to be handled with care. Ultimately, this is a great buy, but not something to judge the artist ... Read review
