Scuba's Personality = Sasha's Expander.

[MatthewH]

Not a big difference, IMO.

Scuba's tracks are thankfully shorter but still, it sounds just like a prog house/prog breaks record from 2002. It could have been released on Bedrock Breaks.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course. At some point heavy reverb and delay have to mount a comeback.

Yeah I got that progy electro breaks vibe off it too. The Hope reminded me of something Meat Katie & Elite Force would have done back in the nu-skool breaks days when that was going a bit prog. Can't say I'm looking for that sound to make a comeback anytime soon.

the artwork is more sash than sasha. music sounds so middle of the road.

Don't give up hope just yet.

lol

 

[computer_rock]

at times sounds like an overproduced klf record. somehow he has out-boring'ed his previous output. somehow

I hope LWE review this.

hey if this is about ppl at lwe loving scuba i will set myself apart here and say i am not feeling that dude at all

 

[e/y]

no, no. quite the opposite. not that it actually matters, but I think RA may go easy on the album, whereas I think LWE would be...far less forgiving (for an example, compare the respective site's reviews of that Oliver $ record).

 

[sgn]

I thought that Oliver $ record was an easy way to make a stand, but I will agree that LWE's reviews are less...predictable. Andrew Ryce is probably the only one on RA who might call this out.

I haven't heard Sasha's Expander but this sounds a lot like this guy named Jaytech I listened to in the early 2000's...especially Ignition Key and NE1BUTU. But yeah, prog trance/electro breaks is what I get out of this. Scuba's been shit for a long time now and hopefully this album will be the culmination of an awful phase of his musical career and not part of a further continuation into unmitigated disaster.

He'll definitely find many, many new fans with this though.

Remember when he came on here and called everyone muso cunts? lol

 

[jimitheexploder]

Maybe Scuba got first dibs on this: http://www.sasha-soundlab.com/

what's your point luka

At a certain point it no longer matters what luka posts, you just know deep down inside that on some level he's right and you're wrong, no matter what you think about the issue at hand or what you do about it

Haha - if anything that accurate appraisal is going to take him up, not down, in my estimation.

Anyway, I like the sound. Loss and, yes, Adrenalin were pretty good. Tunes on the album don't really blow me away tho.

We should have had a "Logan Sama's personality" thread back when he used to post here.

Samaway has been an internet goon since I got dial up and found the uptown forums.
