If you like the Desir mix, you'll probably really enjoy their second
release (entitled 777, the one with the green cover and the "watery" name,
not the one with the shell). It's basically more of the same -- 7:7
Expansion is great, On the Seventh Night is drving, wonderful, thick and
goes great with Acid Warp, and the album shows a general thick production
value that I don't find often from dance music artists...rich, pounding,
and I really, really like it.
The first release (entitled System 7 in the UK, with a diamond on the
cover and 777 in the US with a shell on the cover) is signifigantly more
hit-or-miss. A lot of the tracks are seem homogenized and unexciting
(Habibi, Starnge Quotations, Freedom Fighters) with some pretty bad
vocal tracks -- but Sunburst is beautiful with its crisp multi-layered
beat and melodic guitar line, and the Miracle on the UK version is
driving. But, unless you really, really love Sunburst, it's prolly not
a good choice.
Just my $.02, 'course.
