Gatecrasher Classics Reviews
| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful  Great Anthems , and botched effort to mix anthems represent a grand money-making scheme, By Bulldozer (By the Beach, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Gatecrasher Classics (Audio CD) If you are new to trance, or want every Gatecrasher album released, then you might consider forking down $31 for this album. So while this album represents a collective reprisal of Who's-who under the sunrise, this album has more important issues besides the colorful slip-case.1) Terrible track ordering. Lack of atmosphere and vibe when you mix Moonman's Orange Theme right after Beachball. Seems like they pulled them randomly from a hat. 2) terrible mixing. computer mixed, and the computer does a bad job at it. 3) Track times. In CD 1, you're trying to fit 17 tracks into under 80 minutes, which allows each track about 4 minutes on average. Why try to fit 50 tracks onto 3 CDs and create a CD that sounds like a collection of samples? 4) the Gatecrasher name has been tarnished. Some of Crasher's foremost DJs like Matt Hardwick and Scott Bond have left for sunnier venues. 5) many of these tracks were featured on previous Crasher...

But this three disc compilation is a shameless throw-together. The mix is uninspired, the engineering is so-so, and disc three makes no sense at all. Overall, bad execution of a reasonably good idea. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Defintely worth reliving the old classics., By This review is from: Gatecrasher Classics (Audio CD) There isn't a song on this 3 CD set that didn't make me go back to some point in the past 15 years, that I've been listening to techno as a whole, and made me remember how friggin' good it really was back in the day. There is an occassional lull in CD3, but the lull is far outweighed by the skill in which these CDs are mixed. For the true enthusiast, they're are mixed in the style that you would've heard them when the songs themselves were first played. A true classic in every sense. |
