krelmatrix Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 One of the best CDs of 2001. Very groovy all around, with nice rhythms and a great progressive flavor. Only gripe is that several tracks on the album were already released on CD, but it is nice to have them all in one place. Hightlights are the laid-back morning funk of "Music" (tr 2), the tek-tribal stormer of "Groove Session" (tr 6), and the light, screechy, funky "Turtle House" (tr 7). Solid release for these guys. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 The cover art is very well done. I wasn't keen on the disc itself, but if you're into the more professional-sounding typical Israeli stuff, give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeto Posted December 6, 2001 Author Share Posted December 6, 2001 Maskalin - Way Of Life Artist: Maskalin Title: Way Of Life Label: HOM-Mega Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Freakish 02. Music (A Way Of Life) 03. Ride On 04. Oriental Funk 05. Loud And Proud 06. Groove Session 07. Turtle House 08. Way Of Life 09. Alien Funk Review: Maskalin are Itzik Benisti, Moshe Kenan. Moshe is from Xerox and Itzik AKA Cosmic Navigator. Let me start off with stating this cd is x-tremely groovy and funky...(tr1)is repetitive and grooves till a nice break and some cool melodies.(tr2) has a smooth intro, laidback till it bursts into akiller bassline.This track you gotta love the sample "Music..." in delay... (tr3) has a funky breakbeat influence. (tr4) is a known one, the rmx is fab. (tr5) Full On... (tr6) is one of my fav, this one I really like. tr(7) is also nice along with (tr8) and (tr9) IMO this cd is average but some highlights! Get this if your looking for Groovy FUnky Music.

Guest rx7style Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 My quick and simple review... I didn't like it. I usually like "professional-sounding typical Israeli stuff", but that isn't what I consider this album to be at all. Not my cup of tea.
