Even though most of the songs have been released and heard by most ears already; I decided to give his new album a listen and I must say that I’m a fan. That’s not to say that I wasn’t a fan before; but the piano interludes and acoustic version of Faxing Berlin all have me closing my eyes and getting lost into my own world. Kind of disappointed that Move For You wasn’t included in this album. However the other track he did with Kaskade makes an appearance (I Remember).

Tracklisting:
1. Sometimes Things Get, Whatever
2. Complications
3. Slip
4. Some Kind Of Blue
5. Brazil (2nd Edit)
6. Alone With You
7. I Remember
8. Faxing Berlin (Piano Acoustic Version)
9. Faxing Berlin
10. Not Exactly
11. Arguru (Intro Mix)
12. Arguru
13. So There I Was

I wanted to gather what everyone else’s thoughts are on this long-awaited album.

EDIT: Just realized that the acronym for Random Album Title is RAT. How clever.

So Josh Gabriel recently released his new album, Eight, and I decided that it was time to move on from the Gabriel & Dresden breakup sob story and give his solo career a chance. Don’t lie, you were a bit surprised when you heard that the fabulous chart topping duo was broken up after this past year’s WMC. It was unexpected! To be honest, I still don’t know the real reason why they broke up. However, I remember a particularly famous edm producer duo that broke up and quickly came back together in the past. It was none other than Deep Dish! So there’s still hope for all the Gabriel & Dresden fans out there!

Alas, this isn’t a post about the circumstances to their break up, but rather the release of Josh Gabriel’s new album. It’s the type of sound that I sort of expected from him, however not a single track on the album has a touch of vocal. Some of the tracks are familiar to most like Summit, Tone Program, and Crosstalk, while others are completely new to everyone’s ears.

The tracklist is as follows:
1. Viscocity
2. Recife
3. Intention
4. Azora
5. Crosstalk
6. River
7. Tone Program
8. Reverse
9. Summit
10. Sine Waves

If you purchase it digitally through Beatport, you also receive a continuous mix of all the tracks. And also a fun fact for you guys out there: Josh Gabriel decided to call his album eight because he finished his album on August 8, 2008 (8.8.08).

What are your thoughts on this album?

Teaser Flyer for How Sweet It Is 2002

Welcome! This is the start of something new! With this blog I plan on posting my thoughts on the ups and downs of the current rave and EDM Festival scene while posting up the latest in music and the current runnings of Danika and My EXCLMTN project! To start off I figured I’d start with a posting of the HSII 2k2 Teaser flyer. I’m still on the hunt for the other butterfly flyers that have been released around that era, but for now this will suffice.
