goozer Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 FWIW, I am not as enthusiastic over this track for several reasons. From the start, I felt a little cheated; the EP is called 'Fairlight', which leads one to believe we're in for some retro-synth goodness - or at least a fair amount of the instrument used in the tracks! Unfortunately, the only thing that may have been played on a Fairlight in any of the 3 tracks is Jan's solo, which sounds more like the DX7 sample to my ears. Now the solo, while great as always, is not only too short, but also suffers from clipping! There is no excuse for that in these days of compressed audio! I do not blame Jan for this, by the way. Overall, the EP is good, just disappointing. I think Jan's collaboration with Freelance Hellraiser was far better. Just my .02¢! Remember - all taste is in the mouth! YMMV. :)goozer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.The guitar solo by JAN is crisp, and clean sounding, but I too agree it's clipped, and way too short, but with not much coming from JAN these days, it's a breath of fresh air to hear him again.I too had hoped for more, but we just have to accept it for what it is.The guitar solo, and the video are welcome additions.

Administrators Ferrariman Posted May 18, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I can't help but have mixed feelings about this track. I love anything Jan does but I was also expecting, by the titles, to hear tracks from the Vice episodes.I know Jan is getting up there in age but I hope he's not falling by the wayside only to be heard as a guest on somebody else's albums. That piece of crap rap remix of Crockett's Theme immediately comes to mind! This track was good but nothing I'm in a hurry to buy or even listen to again.

goozer Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yeah, that was the other sucker punch about the EP - the track titles! Funny that I left that out...oh well.I wonder which electronica star he'll collaborate with next year...;)goozer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
