 So solid! |
| This is a flawless mix of relentless progressive house that kicks off when you hit play and doesn't stop until the very end of the final track. The mixing is so smooth you can't even tell when one track ends and a new one begins, except for when he cranks up the bass drum kicks in each transition. This stuff will blow any good club or house party or up. Chris Fortier's latest Bedrock release, Danny Howells' recent stuff and Digweed's G.U. LA CD all come to mind when you hear such skillful mixing and such nasty beats. If you like drivin' house music without diva-ish vocals or techno-ish synthesizers, then this is the album for you. Definitely the best prog house release so far this year (2003). |
 What a clean album.. |
| I'm kind of new to Dave Ralph. Although I've heard about him before but never really got around to listen to his previous mixes. Then I see his new album and thought, lets give it a try.. I have to say, I am very pleased. You can't go wrong with this title. It's pure progressive house to the fullest. With some very enchanting vocals here and there, every track will in this album will get the night going. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the 2nd disk |
| A hypnotic journey into the mind of Dave Ralph |
| Beautiful and entracing, while eerie and eccentric. Dave Ralph proves to be an expert snake-charmer with his creepy breed of spaced-out "skeletal" trance. The high-pitched melodic synths well known to trance are almost completely absent throughout this mix, leaving the tracks in the control of bassy strings, female vocals and metallic ambience. Sleek and stylish, the disc's unique flavor strays off from the mainstream....although repetitive in many areas, fans who already understand Dave Ralph's style will have no problem slipping away into his world of dissonant low-key trance. The second disc is especially a winner! |
