GusSarcoffa Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Now we're talking! Full-on is alive and well in 2008 and this release proves it. I love the big, long track-by-track reviews but I don't have the time or the nuanced taste to post one of those myself. So here's a teaser review and maybe someone more ambitious will take up the baton after me. I'd call this morning full-on probably, although it's not fluffy/proggy/trancey like a lot of morning material. But it's not super dark and twisted either. It reminds me a bit of the '02-'03 era when artists like Wizzy Noise were at the top of their game (not to say that it sounds *like* Wizzy all that much). It's hard to say specifically what I like so much about Passing Clouds. It has the right mix of ingredients to evoke that trippy dancefloor vibe that I crave. No cheese, no lame vocals, no fricken electro. Just the right mix of beats, melodies, sounds, effects and samples. Absolute quality in every track. If it had just a little more originality and a little more novelty it would be perfect. But as it is I highly recommend it to full-on fans. Very good! EDIT: Sigh. I jumped the gun a bit on this review. After repeated listenings I'd say it's good, but definitely not great. There are a lot of nice elements but it's lacking a bit of melody and definitely needs some more originality to truly break out of the pack. There are no surprises, nothing to really get the adrenaline going. Tracks 1, 2 (with Cosmosis), 5 and 9 are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideffect... Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 one of my favorites this year... Another example of non melodic fullon with variated kicks and baselines... like it a lot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButtonPusher Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I love this release! Haven't had the time to write a proper review. Glad someone else started the ball rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilgar Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 This album is a very good example of how to create groovy full on that is not cheesy or annoying, it's got just the right balance. On the downside the tracks are too much alike each other, not really much innovation or propositions, it's the classic example of an artists who has good material for an EP but makes and album.

buzzman Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Good and solid production, ultra low cheese-level, all in all nice dancefloor hits, nothing mindblowing or original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozen dream Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 nothing mindblowing or originalaka boring as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonwalker Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yeah I Agree with frozen dream this was boring .. nice flow but nothing more. no feelings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserflip Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 His first album had more variation but I like the style of this one more. An EP with about 4 tracks would have been the perfect format for this. Half the tracks with a bigger concentration of ideas is far better than a 9 Track album with 2 good titles. It still a good album and better than a lot Full On stuff coming these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideffect... Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Burn In Noise - Passing Clouds (2008) Burn in noise present us here fullon but this is not morning fullon at all. A darker atmosphere is used and considering it's fullon the level off psychedelic is high. It's 'sound' has a sort of 'rave' touch what makes it a bit sturdy. Striking is the way how Burn in noise plays variated with his bass and kicks in tracks and from track to track. Listening to the entire album can be a bit repetitive cause he has chosen for a minimal approach so the baseline is always at top (depends on how long you can hear those fullon baselines). The intro from the first track with Terence Mckenna speaking is well put. Fans of headroom will embrace this album. I would suggest to call this night fullon. http://www.psyshop.c.../alc1cd026.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yeah, I'm just not feeling this. It's full-on (a la a stripped down Braincell) with some great effects, but it has some stretches where it's just you, a kick, and a bass line. Positives would include the atmospheric break work and the aforementioned effects, but I'm afraid I'm gonna need a little more. That said the 2nd half of the CD is quite strong. Close, so close... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
