Someone told me it sucks and another said it ruled. I kind of want to get it, but the guy who said it ruled is kind of a dick. The girl who didn't like it is really super sweet and is friends with this promoter guy that puts on awesome parties and said that, y'know, even though they took the time to put it out and everything, it didn't make up for a lack of creativity. This DJ I saw at the record store was saying that she got it because there was one particular track on it she just HAD to have. She's a green-haired stoner who's kinda into whatever the crowd wants, but she still plays a couple cool tracks whenever I hear her play and she plays enough that she can afford $40 for one track. I was having some email awhile back about the Advent with this guy who is usually very grumpy and he replied enthusiastically that they were one artist/band/whatever that could put out an album of disco waltzes and he'd eat it up like a sucker because they have a sense of structure and punct! uation that he didn't hear anywhere else (uh, yeah). Sorry if this is a sucky review, but I just got back from coffee and I just had to type SOMEthing...I'm sure someone else will post something more informative! eric

Hello Eric, concerning The Advent - Shaded Elements, I think it is a really good release. It is definitely in more of the Minimal vein than there full-length Elements of life. No electro-ish stuff on Shaded. Look at the people that remix Advent, if you like their style or if you like minimal techno than get it!! If you are more into the electro side of Advent, you probably won't care for it, as much. I have been listening to more Surgeon and Planetary Assault Systems - Vol 5, so I dig it, cheers B i l l S a m u e l s w l s @ U . A r i z o n a . E D U
