Definitive dreamy tunes

Advantages: Wonderful multicultural styles - relaxing, sensual and uplifting
Disadvantages: None

...George has done some travelling in his time, absorbing geographically-varied music styles, bringing them back to his studio to blending into rich compositions. Caribbean reggae, Mexican samba, Persian strings and gospel choruses all make an appearance in this amalgamation of world music styles. THE TRACKS: "Passion" Very sexy, strange & funky. A great warm welcome, and an outstanding track, easily the best. Eerie female voices sooth the senses, ...
...rhythms and heavy percussions. Similar in style to the likes of Mr. Scruff, with all its comedic beats and funky tempo. Towards the end of the track, the bass and trumpets really grab you, creating a dizzying sense of dance and energy. "Damn!" Persian influenced harpsichord lies quietly in the background to this track, which creates images of exotic, dreamy Arabian landscapes. The synthesised strings and subtle trumpets welcome a group of soulful ...

BREAK IT DOWN

Advantages: takes a while to get use to
Disadvantages: takes a while to get use to

well well well where do i start brought this at car boot sale for 4.00 a few months back Nightmares on wax have been around for a number of years Anybody remember the track Dextrous rave track around 1990 it was a massive underground hit then it hit the charts if my memory serves me right and this guy has gone in a total new direction On first listening, at work , i never really thought much of it thought there was probably only one or two decent ...
...sound system on thought the first track sounded excellent so i jumped through consecutive tracks an to my amazement it just blew me away (must of been in one of those mellow moods) the album is made up of mainly infectious breakbeats (not heavy like chemical bros or slow like portished) some sublime melodic hip hop (for gods sake his even got a tribe called quest on the album) a few of these tracks wouldn't be out of place in films or drama the ...

Review of Car Boot Soul - Nightmares On Wax

The "Miles_Gurtu" experiment

Advantages: A blend of intricate beats, varied jazzy melodies and experimental soundscapes.
Disadvantages: Over-tweaking disrupts the ambience occasionally. No mainstream appeal. Some tracks don't work.

Take a Swiss-Italian ambient trance producer (Robert Miles) and blend together with an Indian percussionist (Trilok Gurtu). Add other talented musicians to the mix and allow to simmer gently, making sure you season generously with electronic sculpting and processing. The resulting album is an interesting fusion of acoustic instruments, electronic processed sounds, intricate beats, jazz and experimental soundscapes. Released in 2004, “MilesGurtu” ...
...the dream trance that he became famous for. It builds on his previous album “Organik” (released in 2001), which was his first attempt at creating an experimental sound. This album is characterised by being completely instrumental although 3 tracks feature vocal samples. Double bass, strings, guitar and rhodes performances feature frequently, creating delicate melodies whilst complex beats are generated from drums and tabla. Many tracks shift and ...

Review of Miles_Gurtu - Robert Miles & Trilok Gurtu

Slightly disappointed but still good

Advantages: some golden oldies
Disadvantages: alot of the tunes you will have on the older gatecrasher cds

When I saw this product advertised on the television I was so excited because I have all the gatecrasher albumns and I just loved the idea of a best of gatecrasher albumn but then you get the the idea of, is it worth buying it cos you will have most thesongs alreadyalbeit on 10 different albumns. So there is the first good point of this albumn, all the classics on one albumn that you can stick on, on a saturday night and dance away till your hearts ...
...tunes and some not so good tunes so like me I was tempted just to buy it off itunes and download the tunes I liked but at 99p each I found I like more than £9.99 worth of tunes so I bought the albumn. Theres some old time favourites and some current classics with some great remixes and with 3 cds you really do get your moneys worth. Its a mixture of house and dance and a little bit of trance thrown in. You can dance to this music and it really would ...
