Djuna Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Indeed... Are these unmastered samples perhaps? I know it is old school style but there is almost zero low freq bass? Hmmm To get the record straight: you don't know what bass is unless it's an oldschool bass. Can't seem to find the samples though (they don't appear in the link), are they different than the ones posted already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeke Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Guys when samples are posted on arabesque they normally are taken from the final product. I also noticed the 2 albums that were on itracks.biz are gone? Or maybe the website has just changed. Nevertheless Gilbert said in his interview that Avatar licensed 2 albums and that he had then another 2 albums (that were published earlier this year on digital platform) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procyon Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I wonder why he wrote these tracks this way, if he has so much knowledge and experience. They sound normal, so unexciting, they don't seem to be from such a legend as Asia 2001 is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpongled247 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hmm I remember his tracks all sounding similar from old albums but they were still good tracks.. This is just..hmm something is just off! Would be good to get the story on these and why they sound like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technosomy Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Everyone becoming old and lazy i think... i reckon! with the knowledge and experience alot of these artists have, you would think they could come up with something better, obviously they can make what ever they wan't but surley avatar new what they were doing? i hate to say it, but this lacks passion would hate to think gilbert has taken money for a 2 album deal, and bashed this out. hopefully the samples just arn't doing it justice but i doubt it. lazy...... you bet very dissapointed when i heard the samples of the other 2, they wern't sounding to far of this, but i thought they could have been tracks that didn't make the cut for this album. will go back and listen again.

Procyon Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 You know what really makes me sad about goa? It is that back in 2000, when I had this passion for it, I used to think how powerful and beautiful goa would be in 10 years time. Frankly I used to think that it would be the soundtrack of my life till I would be an old man. But as you know, by 2007-8, it had lost all the magic. Asia 2001 is just another one who lost it too, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuser Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 When i was listening to sound addiction part I, i was wondering if the guy was taking the piss of out of the listener ? some samples from whatever movies sound so out of place i could not believe it ... tracks "another world" and "baton rouge" sound nice though, but not really goa trance.

Agneton Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Actually I think Asia2001 was always a mixed bag...for sure he made a couple of awesome albums, but as far as I remember he also released tons and tons of EP's and compilations on Trans'pact under different aliasses which were absolutely forgettable...this project was, in my eyes, one of the earlier scene-representatives of the 'quantity is better than quality'-adagium.

radi6404 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 his tracks are not bad but they do remind me of newschool, because he does not have enough inspriation for really big buildups he puts time fillers on his albums with one melody after the other so a track consists of 20 melodies, how can one remember all of them, the listener becomes confused and gets tired of the music, at least that happens with me when a track has so many melodies. But some of the tracks are pretty good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technosomy Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 it's out! any further thoughts before the jackals and vultures tear this to pieces? i still not convinced, still hoping they mixed up the samples with someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technosomy Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 anyone listened to the samples of this on psyshop? sounding much better to my ears this time around, has it just grown on me? i bashed this big time last week, has it changed, or me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpongled247 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I will check and report because last time I listened it sounded like Radi almost. Jk Jk but yeah.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franki Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I bought Contact and had the first play yesterday. Hmmmmmm. It sounds like a collection of tracks recorded over several years on different equipment / studios rather than brand new material. This is o.k. though as I like most of the music a lot. It's in the full-on camp, but for sure, has Goa stylings too. What I don't like though, (and spoils an otherwise really good album IMHO) are the vocal samples. They are too loud, too frequent and badly chosen, especially the woman reading a passage from The Lord Of The Rings on (iirc) D-Beam Magical. That sounds truly terrible.
