Review:

 

Deep Dive Corp. is back with an new album filled with different styled

emotional ambient/downbeat tracks. It's released on Jubilee Records wich is an

division of the greman well known label Free Form. Jubilee is a more clubby

label then Free Form. The album starts with an chilly & funky track. Lots of

latino influences, guitarr sounds and a male singing in some language(?)

Track 2 is more an housey downbeat tune, and sounds more comercial. Very nice

though, the female voice singing about fallen angels is beutiful. Track 3 also

has some housey touches and a funky beat. 4th track is very short, only

2:29... wich is very bad couse the little you here from this one is very good,

infact the best track on the album. Reminds on some levels of Shpongle. The

indian voice fits great with this tribal tune. On track 5 we again join on to

the more housey & clubby twist. Also here there's an male singing. Track 6

keeps the albums funky flow but with some guitarrs. Track 7 takes a littl!

e different step with a more "India sound", with those guitarrs... but the beat

is very much the same as the rest, funky & rhythmish. Track 8 is another short

one and ofcourse also one of the better ones with the beautiful flow . Track

9 is a sunny rhythmic tune also with funky vibes, very nice one this one. I

can imagine listening to this tune outside an early morning after an hard

night. It reminds a bit of C.O.N. Sequencers stuff. 10th track ends this album

with another clubby downbeat vibe, only difference here is that this one has

an "secret bonus tune"... after about one minutes silence it starts again. But

this is not really good... sounds mostly like some pornomatic funky-pop music.

To finish of I think the whole album is very very Ibiza styled, becouse this

is the kind of funky & housey ambient music they spin at the chillout clubs on

Ibiza. Rating will be 6/10. I myself personaly can enjoy this album on some

levels couse I'm a very open minded listener, as I like!

most electronic music, depending on my mood. But at the same time this album

might not really belong here... couse of the comercial & housey Ibiza style.

I'm not surprised if most of you who'll read this probably hate this album and

start yelling about why this "crap" is here. From one point of view I

understand that... but at the same time it's still an known act to this scene

whom just tried an different path, for that I think it deserves an place here

after all.

Not as good as Blackmail Recordings, but it still has the high-quality

DDC-stamp written all over it!... Nice indeed! I like to listen to this when

I'm hung over! But's what's up with the akward jewel-case? I begin to see

these more and more German releases.... I don't like 'em! I like this CD

however... Not an instant classic, but it's nice! 6/10

I would say this is better than Blackmail Recordings. Deep dive corp must be

concidered as one of the very best in this genre. always evolving,

experimenting with different styles etc... I give this 8/10. their first album

is still my favourite.

It's nice for those long winternights, but nothing to get too frantic about it

I must say. I did buy it though... 6.5/10 ( last track is very nice)
