Guest kingdok Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 ...what little I've heard, anyway. It's nice to see someone take an oft-heard style and make it their own via thoughtful production and fresh ideas. His contribution to X-Wave II is especially nice. 'Will be buying the full-length for sure... 'Just had to say something positive after bashing Viktan's album. Quote
Guest kingdok Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Ooops...my bad...The Broken Engine just posted about this. Sorry for the redundancy! (At least we were on the same page, eh?) Quote
Guest possEssEd Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Melicias album really kicks ass! I just LOVE it! 2003 is the year of powerfull Full-On! Quote
Guest MAOi Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 full on is not trance or psychedelic at all! Quote
Guest Jalliuz Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 It does sound nice, but could be an album from Dynamic, Eskimo, Cyber Cartel, Space buddha, Psydrop or Intergalactic,... Like anybody would know the difference... Where is the intellect these days? Can these fresh artists please go there OWN way instead of doing something that has been done 10 times before? PLEASE! I'm begging you! Be yourself in music. Don't go with the flow! Quote
Guest Jalliuz Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 If you just change these cheap overdone basslines it would be a giant step in the good way! Just get rid of this clubby commercial sound. Quote
Guest mijis Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 just listened Melicia and its the same fucking bassline , the only thing that changes is that the samples are more house influenced , making melicia the most commercial israely full on act ever . Quote
Järsimähäiriö Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 This just has to be one of the most pathetic releases so far this year. Nevermind the commercialism, couldn't care less, but this is just blatant, uncompromised crap. Quote
Guest dj mijis Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 i dont agree with you , fatali was even worse Quote
Otto Matta Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 I love how this thread started so excitedly optimistic and fizzled into a puddle of gloom. "Thoughtful production and fresh ideas." "Kicks ass!" "I love it!" "I like it." "It's okay, but sounds a lot like others." "It's the most commercial Israeli ever." "The most pathetic release of the year." "Blatant, uncomprimised crap." Strange, but enjoyable. Quote
Guest Tentwins Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 HAHAHAHA!!!! Be positive and there will be always someone showing you the dark and dirty side of things. Quote
khogg Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Mmm... to me Melicia does not sound promising at all. However, I don't understand why Mijis hates Fatali so much. True it uses the full on baseline, but it isn't the usual brand of frantic dance floor madness that Melicia is trying to copy. In parts, Fatali reminds me a bit of Cosma actually, though not as good. Eh, to each their own I guess. Interestingly, on Isratrance, there are many positive reviews of Melicia as well many positive reviews of albums that I see slagged here on Psynews. Perhaps people feel more free to speak their mind on this forum? Quote
Guest kingdok Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Or perhaps they're just a bunch of stuffed shirts who've forgotten how to have fun. Quote
Järsimähäiriö Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Hahaaa... Yes, that seems like a logical explanation. Quote
Guest DT Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 I thought melicia album was damn good. The only gripes I have is that he sounds way too close to astrix. Thus, like many of you claim, he doesn't have his own style. But then again, he just started. You never know in the future though, he just might change his style. Quote
khogg Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 I must disagree. I don't think Melicia sounds like Astrix at all. Yes they both use the full-on baseline and the full-on pounding beats, but Astrix is slower, waaaaaay groovier, less noisey/busy, and just plain more creative. Melicia sounds like your average, modern day, really fast, generic full-on psy. It may be inspired by a !style! that is !like! Astrix but it is NOT Astrix. Quote
