In begin vond ik het wat tegenvallend.
Maar na een review die ik ben tegengekomen heb ik het album
anders benaderd en is het me beter gaan bevallen.
"I think I understand Photek's mindset. He has a deep appreciation for excellence, he wants perfection--he is a perfectionist. And he's really good at expressing this urge through music. When you use a computer to make music (I think he mentioned he uses cubase vst mainly), you have complete and total utter control over every aspect of sound, right down to the microsecond. It seems like every beat, every snare, bass drum or symbol is painstakingly constructed to come as close to perfection as possible, without sounding to overly robotic. Some people might say that this stuff does sound too mechanical or unemotional...it may seem like that at first, but when you really listen closely you actually notice that not every beat is precisely accurate. His beats are completely handcrafted, and you can start to tell after many careful listenings. That's what makes it so impressive. He puts so much time and effort into making these tracks that it's hard not to respect the man. I read that he spends about 5 weeks on average to complete just one track! This guy is like a ninja, a kung-fu master of the art of creating sonic excellence. Some of these tracks are simply exhillarating, you really can feel the emotion of the drums in some of these songs. Pure intensity, anger, tranquility, he can do every emotion with drums alone. The sonic textures to accompany these masterful beats only inhance the effect. "
Wat een review soms toch kan helpen om sommige muziek beter te begrijpen
