i have read many of the reviews on IM's new album IM the supervisor.
i was quite impressed with the new improved, evolved and refined sound IM has produced in its new album. it is almost as if it took the good's from C.V trance side and improved on them by taking out the bad's.
if you bag the album you obviously havent had a proper listen.
1) IM the supervisor: average track, probably the worst on the album, although wouldn't be a bad intro if you think about it for a rave.
2) Ratio Shmatio: had it way before the album, unbelievable song, has the traditional build up with the peak part like classical mushroom songs. i also love the end part when they dedicate a minute or so to b.p style.
3) Muse Breaks RMX: at first i thought this song was abit corny although it became my second favourite track on the album after frog machine. Michele Adamson does it again with her brilliant voice and infected's rip off of 'superstyler' is just fantastic and exciting. the trancey part at the end is also a great way to finish it off.
4) Meduzz: this is a dark song. makes me feel as if i am in a factory full of machines. it brings back some memories of the gathering. i absolutely love it and the end part defines IM. no other artist could transform beautiful orchestra into beautiful trance.
5) cities of the future: heard the sample gave it a thumbs down. however the real version is fantastic! the part at around 3 minutes, where its silence...then the beat kicks in...nothing could define IM better than that beat. the crazy part when Duvdev starts screaming is crazy and perfectly describes his drug experiences. listen to the lyrics you'll understand...
6) Horus the Chorus: i haven't really been able to get into this one properly yet although i really do enjoy it. the build up at the 5.20 minute mark is very crazy and similar to ratio. however i did expect more from the part after it...
7) frog machine: this song is BP EMPIRE! it is very dark and weird. the part after a minute is great and once again shows IM's talent in transforming orchestra into trance. best song on the album!
8) Noon: this is another awsome song. it just goes on and on like a story. no great build ups although i reckon this one is better off without a build up. it just goes on and on and has a very catchy riff to it.
9) bombat: crazyyyyyyyyyyyy...i've heard this a while back and i've always loved it. it brings Classical mushroom into the album and the build ups are best when played LOUD!
10) stretched: omg...a new and improved version of dancing with kadafi...same sorta layout only stretched is focused on one kind of beat rather than repeatedly changing itself like dancing with kadafi. both are very great although that guitar riff after about 1.20 is the cherry on top that makes stretched that extra bit better than dancing with kadafi.
so before you critisize this album. think again! expectations were met! its just u must get used to it to understand its full appreciation. with the older albums, it also took time to get used to.
