Astrix - He.art (HOMmega)

[antic604]

Not sure about the music (typical morning full-on / prog with triplets and the like) and the pretentious reference to "art" in the title, but the cover is very nice:

Would look good on a digipack.

Antic posting promo topics on Astrix... Now I've seen everything.

 

The cover is effin' sweet!

Nobody's perfect and for my excuse it was the cover that caught my eye

[Ormion]

Astrix came a long way in the covers.

From this

 

 

to the new one.

 

 

 

Let's hope the music is better too.

Cover is good but music: 'Prog made for Brazil'

[Paul Eye]

The cover looks like another collection of psytrance clichés

[draeke]

True, i find it quite disturbing actually, as non innovative from any point of view. Furthermore, if it is indeed progressive psy, a better cover would be with modern vibes. I like the drawing but i think it has nothing to do with the release and many would be confused expecting oldschool goa maybe... unless it is a market move as everyone seems to go oldschool lately.

astrix is a guilty pleasure

I don't follow deeply or anything but I do think he is in on the joke

he can out-cheese man with no name and has a special place in my bubblegum pop heart

Really good cover art -that would look better on a Goa album- for boring, generic and cheesy music.

 

Btw, his old stuff is better.

[Penzoline]

This album is actually pretty damn good I feel. The production is flawless and there's plenty of interesting elements to make this stand out some.

I disagree. The cover is quite apt for the first track.

+1 on all of that. Love the cover, much better than all that fractal/abstract stuff out there

[recursion loop]

Don't care about the cover.

 

I've listened to the album once and thought that it is not bad. But for some reason I never wanted to spin it again since then. Nothing tells me "whoa I have this He.art I must listen to it again right now!"

Yeah, I'd say it's the definition of 'derivative' and 'conformist' - we've heard such tunes countless times and there seems to be no depth in it... Too bad, but on the other hand one less CD to buy

[frix]

I know I shouldn't. ;D

But from time to time I really enjoy Astrix stuff.

His new album is no exception.

[BASS-O-MATIC]

Astrix bashing is very popular on this Forum,but the Album is really good.

Top notch production,interesting tracks and it makes a lot of fun.

[Squid]

Of course it's good. At least he doesn't reinvent the 90s goa wheel...
