Obviously the tracks just lack some soul and depth.
Even though the first impression was quite amazing and the tracks fit
perfectly
in a mix, they don't really fit for home listening - they become boring
too
fast. Might be a general problem of this "genre", because it has
happened to
almost all records in similar vein, even for the very recommended Ben
Milstein
on Outside.
Me:
Some names I've been meaning to check there. (Milstein, Bitstream) but
I'd disagree hat CI's tracks lack 'soul' - without wanting to go down
the route of defining soul, I prefer the word 'warmth' - and that they
become boring. I do think they're clinical - in a neat and tidy way,
maybe too much so, but they are expressive. I find 'em warm. Don't get
me wrong, for me the good points outweigh the shortcomings. Despite
writing a fair bit about what the music lacks I still think this:
including that it hits you in a visceral and exciting way and makes you
want to dance - which is the main aim I think - whilst not insulting
your intelligence.
