smaug Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I'm listening to the samples at Saiko Sounds and this sounds pretty damn good. I like his style. Seems like he has stayed true to his first album. Listen for youself: http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display...ase.asp?id=4645 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinos Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 The cover is freaking ugly. Worse than the previous one... I haven't listened to either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopie Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 may I just say...THIS CD FUCKIN RULES DA HÄYZ! I mean it's so awesome... probably gonna be 1 of the best ones released this year... I'm sure Thanks Juan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Wel well well, sounds too much "Dream Music" (a la Robert Miles) to my ear, not my cup of tea. Furthermore, the sonic effects are exactly the same as those from his first album, 7 years ago. Some novelty would have been welcome IMO. J.

shpongled Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 ...So I can't state my opinion about a CD unless it's something positive? This whole site is based on album reviews... negative or positive. Though I like the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 No one said about not posting anything negative, just your statement sounded hateful and not just negative. Have you actually heard whole album or just samples from Saiko ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpongled Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I listened the samples at Saiko... and that's perfectly enough for me to hear if I like it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cocco Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Anyone who thinks they have a problem with the cover has emotional problems. It's not a bad cover, its just very simple and plain looking. More importantly, its the music that counts. Since when have covers become more important than the music on the album? I mean, c'mon, its not like its a bad pornno magazine where you open it only to find tons of fat girls up-the-butt advertisments; where the best thing about it is the shiny, pink clit on the front cover. No, this is a music album. And for a cover that may be all about YOU, it probably looks more busy than it should be. Anyway, I listened to the samples on saiko sounds. I really like the meloldies, and I'm glad he kept his melodic, emotional edge and style! .......................................................................................................................................... Regarding the production: I noticed the beats are more hard, and they appear to be louder this time around. This isn't an album that will be played much on dance floors, will it? ... So I don't think it was necessary to lift up the volume of the beats, as it seems the artist has. The harder, louder beats seem as if they have the potential to sometimes distract from all those nice melodies and rhythms. Does this make any sense? Regardless, its not that much of a big deal, or is it?, Do any of you notice this as well? Also, just because this isn't party music or something I'd show off to a group of friends doesn't mean its cheesy or bad. Being thought-provoking or better for single listening in certain cases makes the experience all the more memorable and enjoyable. I think this may be the case with this type of music, which is why I question the reason for the heavier, louder beats. Nevertheless, I really like what I heard and plan on getting it regardless!

shpongled Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I guess that sums it all then... 218189[/snapback] Sums what? That I can't hear melodies and rhythms on 4:00 minute long samples? Huh? The production is not that bad but it still shines thru even 64kbps mp3s that it's not perfect. Listen track #4 starting at 2:09... it sounds messy and out of sync... and nobody needs CD quality to hear that. People also mentioned bad mixing of the beat.... sometimes the kick is too loud and sometimes it's just ugly sounding. Some of the synth lead sounds are also plain ugly... sorry that's just my opinion. So what's your point again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cocco Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Just checked psyshop and this isn't even currently on there! No upcoming, no "coming soon" when you do a search for Muses Rapt.. nothing! Has it been released on saikosounds? Is it officially released yet? The first Muses Rapt is still on psyshop, so hopefully this will be too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rain Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I listened the samples at Saiko... and that's perfectly enough for me to hear if I like it or not. 218160[/snapback] you can know if it's your style (dark, melodic, fullon) or not ??? but this... Cheesy melodies + cheesy rhythms + cheesy effects + amateurish production = Well.. go figure. 218053[/snapback] you cannot know by just listening to samples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpongled Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 but this... you cannot know by just listening to samples 218828[/snapback] I'm not sure now if you are joke in but it's beyond my understanding how you can not hear melodies and rhythms in those samples. And you can hear for example delay effect easily even if a sample is 32kbps. And I already explained a bit why the production sounded bad to me.

Frontier Psychiatrist Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Never liked Juan. Never understood the hype. The spiritual healing tune had a nice melody that barely covered the lowsy edit and really weak production. And yes, i felt the same when i heard it first in 98' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
