 What is up with these reviews? | |
| I can not believe the reviews I am reading for this release.
Hands down this is one of the best progressive compulations of 2004. I think that it is up there with Sasha's Involver album and I have yet to understand why there are so many mediocre reviews for this dual set from Pappa. I know that Holden is a very tough act to follow,(lord knows I have seen that prodigy a few times and love his work), but this release from Anthony is top notch. I am a huge progressive fan to say the least, so I am more in touch with the first C.D., rather than the second. As far as "continuity" and structure, it is about as good as it gets. The mixing is f**king superb. The planning for the first C.D. is very well thought out and is deeply, deeply emotional. Pappa, if you are reading this, I want to thank you for putting this jewel together. I have it in my player and I have no plans to take it out in the near future. I was born and raised in South Florida and have seen countless D.J.'s and producers countless times at Space , Crobar and WMC. Yet, the next time you come down, they better roll out the red carpet for you, cause you are friggin' awesome! D-L-T-B-G-Y-D. | |
 A Let Down | |
| Come on Anthony, I know you're reading this. What is this. I've heard much better from you. It seems like you're just throwing a bunch of tracks together. disc 1 was alright with some cool beats, it raised the rating to 3, but some tracks are just plain horrible in disc 2, like tracks 3,4, and especially 13, that was just garbage. Some good track here and there but there's no consistency at all. Good thing 13 was the last track or i would've just thrown that disc away. I'm beginning to question whether you know your shiz or just playing some good track you hear from other djs and then playin these other junk. Very let down. A good dj should never have a track that's not listenable. | |
| Not quite balanced | |
| It was OK although I have to say I was a little disappointed with some of the track selection. There were some good tracks here and there but the CDs seemed totally inconsistent. In both CD they would start out alright and then suddenly it would drift off. A little different style from what i've typically heard from AP.
CD 1 was very chill and had some nice beats bordering house and breaks but then a vocal track 7 was added, which although isn't too bad, was totatlly outta place. Then it slowed down and got a little boring only to pick up just a a little towards the end. CD 2 was more dark progressive and started off good with tracks 1-3 and then suddenly strange vocals tracks are added 4-5. I hate vocals especially if its a guy talking. These kinds of tracks don't belong in a good progressive set. The rest is ok with some notable tracks 9-10 but the CD never picks up as I was expecting from a 2nd CD after a chilled out first one. OK but not his best. | |
