CD Reviews

DJ Irene Pushing the envelope
xXavierR | pass christian, ms | 01/06/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are a person who just casually listens to techno, or dance music in general, this cd may not be for you because of the 'non mainstreamist' reasons, though if you are an old skooler to the rave/house/progressive scene and/or an inspiring dj, or anyone who would like to hear what it really sounds like to push the envelope of djing to the edge, this cd is definitely for you. DJ Irene does it again, this time spinning the seemingly impossible, mixing rock/metal with techno. At first I didnt know what to expect but I made myself buy it because I am a big Dj Irene fan, and this is the best $17.00 investment I have ever made, if you like house/turntablism, even if you don't feel like ordering it off of the internet, you better step your [...] to the nearest music store and plant the cash because it's definitely worth your time!"
Another stylistic leap forward

"This album further progresses Irenes status as the most daring and forward looking dj in dance music today. Blending rock, house, trance, d n' b (or jungle whatever) together with ease and precision may sound impossible but she does it deftly. Not only does the cd span so many styles but she now has the clout to include producers tiesto and deep dishes tracks the latter of which completely rocks my world. If you catch a chance to see her live don't miss it because this woman knows how to work a crowd like few djs do. She is a true rock star."
Meshes rock with house

"After reading the press material sent with this CD, I didn't know what to expect when I put the CD in the stereo, but I knew whatever it was would be a musical education I wouldn't soon forget. I was right.



The CD kicks of with a lush rock sound featuring a heavy electric guitar solo, and then subtly the electronics and loops come in and transform the song into something you'd likely hear at your favorite leather-clad dance club ("Let's Rock 'N Roll").



The choir on "The Anthem 2004" sends shivers of pleasure and fear down my spine everytime that track comes around. I was reminded of the Elven choir on the soundtrack of the Lord of the Rings trillogy, but with a modern backbeat.



"Da Chase" takes a page from the Never Ending Story soundtrack, or perhaps an old Nintendo fantasy/adventure. The latter seems more appropriate as the track shifts into "Grand Theft Audio".



I have had the CD in my stereo for quite a while now, playing it over and over. It's even responsible for keeping me alert on a late night drive home from Seattle. The transitions from track to track are smooth and keep me from stoping the CD for anything -- even staying up past my bedtime until the track ends. The music gets under my skin and into my blood. I'll definitely have this one on the stereo the next time I have a gathering at my house."
