cd_solidsnake's Electronic & Dance Album Reviews

[cd_solidsnake 122]

So, ladies and gentlemen, I decided to do something that has been done before, but with a litle twist. Album reviews! But not any album reviews, no. I decided to focus on something that's even better:

 

Electronic & Dance Album Reviews!

 

Now, you might not know this, but I'm a great fan of the Electronic & Dance movement. I've been listening to this since 2004, way before that thing you call Dubstep nowadays (by the way, that's not how Dubstep used to sound at all) got famous. So I know a bunch of things about EDM (no, I'm not being cocky. I'm still barely n00b compared to most of the guys I know).

 

Anyway, in order to review albums, I created a blog here in mlpforums. But this entry is just to let you see the list of albums reviewed and also to take some review requests. This will be limited by whatever I choose, but in the end I'll review almost any EDM album you want me to. The main difference between me and any other reviewer out there? I'll write lengthy reviews, based on the journey (I'll listen to the album as a whole, and then relisten to write about it while listening). I love to give details, even though I'm a bit repetitive (I'm currently working to expand my vocabulary).

 

The genres that I'll review (mostly) are:

 

-House

-Techno

-Minimal Techno

-Progressive House

-Deep House

-Dubstep

-Electronica

-Experimental/Ambient

-Indie Dance/Nu-Disco

-Trance

-Drum & Bass

 

This could be both pony-related music or non-pony related music.

 

Requests:

 

1-"Discovery" by Daft Punk (Requested by @@Princess Twilight Sparkle & me :3)

2-"Degenerate" by Vex'd (Requested by @@Soundgarden)

3-"Killing Blossom" by M.E.G.A.L.O. Concept & Signal R183 (Requested by @)

4-"Refined Madness" by 123MRK (Requested by @@WorldAirWays)

5-"Modjo" by Modjo (Requested by @@ReGen & me :3)

 

(If the list is full, come back later please. I have a lot of free time, but I also have a job )

 

List of reviewed releases(first to latest):

 

-Sasha - Invol<3r [MOSCD290] (Progressive House/Chillout)

-m1dy - Speedcore Dandy XXX [iNR006] (Gabber/Hardcore/Clusterf*ck)

-Alan Braxe And Friends - The Upper Cuts [451.1041.028] (House/Hip-Hop)

-M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts [9251-2] (Leftfield/Experimental/Ambient/Synth Rock)

 

Thanks to @ for the inspiration (I'll still read your reviews), and to the great musicians creating awesome (or stupid) albums to review.

Alright, then I'll give you something different. I couldn't find the full album on Youtube, so I uploaded it myself. That took a while ;_;

 

The album is "Speedcore Dandy XXX" by m1dy. I would love to see your opinions on it ;3

 

The songs are in the wrong order, sorry for that

"Speedcore"... Seriously?! Is this my first request?!

 

Anyway, I love challenges. I'll listen to it for sure! Was about to review one of my fav Dubstep albums/cd-mix ever right now, but this is going to the top of my priority list c:

You should really check this album out if you love French House.

 

This track's my favorite from it:

 Second place on my priority list then

 

I know Alan Braxe due to his Jamiroquai remixes, but I've never actually payed attention to his music. Gonna check it out.

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

Here's something different that I'd like to see you review. Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts by M83, it's one of those albums that you'll either lover or hate

I'd agree with you on the "different", but I already plan to review that album :3 I happen to have it on CD (love to buy CDs). All I can tell you right now is that it is more than a 7.7/10

@Soundgarden The review's ready. Just check the first post on this topic. Seriously, I hate gabber/speedcore/harcore, but I'm willing to review more of it. Maybe I'm just missing the point, I don't know. At least it wasn't that bad. Hope you like my review!

Alright, you've probably heard this before, maybe you haven't, but I'd like to see what you think.

Personally, it's my favorite album of all time:

Alright, I really enjoyed that review of Speedcore Dandy XXX, it really cracked me up 

 

Anyways, I'll let you review something different this time: "Degenerate" by Vex'd. I love that album with every fiber of my existence, however it can get a bit long, but I hope you don't mind :3

 

And by the way, I see you don't like stuff like Gabber and Speedcore, but what about the more melodic Hardcore genres? I might let you review a J-Core album or two in the future ;V

As long as you enjoy my reviews (and if you don't care if I am a little bit harsh on the albums) keep it coming :v I'll review most stuff you ask.

 

I'll try to finish my next review tomorrow, @@Moog. Everyone else, be patient :v

I hope you don't mind that it's an EP, but I think you might like it anyways.

 

The version I'm linking lacks a couple remixes found on the full EP; I could send you my version, if you want to take a bite out of the remixes
