Hrm, what do you guys think of this (those of you who have heard it).
Honestly I'm disapointed.
On the one hand, I'm happy that it's slower and dubby and not RHs
jackhammer audio assault. It's sort of the after 6am parts of his DE909
sets when things get fun, but
OTOH
The fact that the CD is outlined as a dubby work, and RH gives each loop,
or theme only 2 minutes max of time in the mix, sort of kills what i love
about deep music - taking a theme and playing for 5+ minutes at a time
with little or no variation, so the groove (or whatever) just gets stuck
in your head. It's like the MTV version of dub. hah
Secondly, b/c the mix was made in software, there's a certain live PA feel
to it as a whole. It's almost too clean and too continuous. There's a funk
that's gone.
I have to contrast this mix with the The Button DOwn Mind of Dan Bell cuz
the music is very similar. The dan bell mix is one of my favorite mixes.
Even tho there are some slips in the DB mix, and maybe some track
selections that are a touch questionable, he keeps it deep and maintains
the funk.
I hope this doesn't sound too negative. But sometimes people get too
wrapped up in the process and sort of loose sight of the musicality of a
work.
