Balance 007 (Mixed By Chris Fortier)

Search: On And On And On
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 11, 2005
Is this the best tech-house mix of the last 5 years? Yes, it probably is. Lapsed prog hero Fortier has managed (for the most part) to avoid losing all the things that made prog good - which is to say, this is serious, austere, melancholic and not at all full of love. And there are very few overly obnoxious basslines too.

disc 1 is basically the "house mix" - after Global Communications lush and lovely "The Deep", we whip through some interesting, clattering techno tracks, then a bit of microhouse. The !!! track is a bit anticlimactic, but what can one do? overall very interesting.

Benicassim 2005

Search: On And On And On
by: Various Artists

Release Date December 05, 2005
Were you there? I was too and if you want to remember, this selection will help you by providing a limited number of soundbites of a maximum number of bands. This is not live but what the hell? There's some excellent music. In fact, this CD set sums up the Benicassim experience - one song from them ... then over to another stage for one song from them...

Songs from the Labyrinth [VINYL]

Search: On And On And On
by: Sting, Edin Karamazov

Release Date September 26, 2006
From the outset let me say that I have always been a huge fan of Sting, and of John Dowland. But I was unsure that the two could possibly go together. Having listened to the CD several times now, I am still unsure but the idea is growing on me.

Let's face it, Sting is not the world's best vocalist, his breathy nasal voice being well-suited to ska and light jazz, but ultimately tending to be tiresome. The problem is not just his voice, but perhaps more his odd vowel sounds which have always been a little unnatural and that is very obvious here with his voice rather forward in the mix.

So my first thought was that there are many very beautiful renderings of this material by specialists like Ian Partridge and Sting's offering seemed to ... Read More:
