Guest Swede Indeed Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Just got "Eye to eye" and according to the reviews on this site it was a bit like Alien Project...a bit? It's almost exactly like Alien Project! The sounds, the build ups, the sudden stops, the fx. It's like when Ari Linker finished "Aztechno dream" he left the computer on and Avi Shmailov sneaked in and made an album of his own. First track reminds an awful lot of crystal skulls and Scielent Runner", the fifth track too. Even the last track is almost a copy of Alien Projects "The first revelation". Can Avi do this? What does Ari and TIP think of it? Is it ok to copy a sound like this? Anyway, if I hadn't heard Alien Project first I would have thought that this is the album of the year, cause it is good and well produced, it's just that it sounds almost exactly the same as AP. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andy Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 from what i heard astrix is the guy who really came up with this sound - he is the one who developed it, but he is the last one to put an album out, i really like astrix's sound i think its a lot deeper than alien project - i think astrix's influence on alien project is alot more than is let on, but thats just what i heard:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lurk Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Andy is right... astrix is on the credits for most of the tracks on Alien Project's 1st album and a few on the second. The crystal skulls rmx is an Astrix rmx. From what I've heard TIP realised their mistake and have now signed Astrix's second album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest veridia Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 well I like Astrix and heard some stuff by Alien Project, any shops out there that still have Aztechno dream... I also think Cyber Cartel sounds a bit like AP (not Astral projection) & Astrix. Those basslines are very samey, but I love them at the same time. When I first heard Astrix it brought back memories of the Pet Shop Boys album Actually. Dont know why, but Eye to Eye reminds me of old stuff. Maybe it's the samples & FX, PSB did a lot of that.

Guest mijis Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 so Ari robbed astrix ? or Ari put the money for the studio ? Someone should interview those guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khogg Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I don't know which way around it is, but I have to admit I really like "eye to eye." The only other album I have like this is "Midnight Sun" which is also good in my opinion, but the resemblance is striking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lunar Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 all these are the same: Alien Project Astrix Talamasca GMS Nomad Atomic Pulse If i play a tune from these, it's hard to pic one (except maybe GMS, because of all the noises and weird FX they have)..one thing for sure! the musicstyle roxxs! BUT it always the same fucking formula and even more anoying the same damn bassline everytime...sure it is a good bassline but after 2 years of use it becomes kind pf boring..you have to agree about this BOM!

Guest saikoblaster Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I saw altom at the infinitifestival and they have the exact psychosounds as astrix and ari. The thing is that Ari really rocks the dancefloor, I saw him like two months ago at the Acasoundfest and believe me both live and dj sets were fucking amazing. What I found really intesting was his dj-improvised set, because James Munro was supposed to close but then Ari came to save the day at seven in the morning and he fucking blasted the place. He used vinyl, cds and the nordlead and I was in complete awe!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andy Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 i dont think there is any problem between these artists - they work togethor alot so they r gonna have a similar sound - i love it personally but ther u go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mijis Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 saikoblaster its strange because i saw Ari at teotihuacan and when he was supossed to play alive he wasn`t playing it was a fake , after that he did a dj cd set and he sucked real big , after that came Arturo and he saved the day ....... I have a video of ari playing "alive" in the acidozz party and he is faking too . In the other hand i heard he was very good at the acasound while danny tenaglia was playing gay house music in the house stage , Ari was rocking the place .
