Audio Therapy Presents Across Borders: Greece

Product Description
Dave Seaman's highly acclaimed Audio Therapy label is proud to announce the launch a brand new album series entitled 'Across Borders'. The album focuses on the very best production talent from a single country or region.

The album boasts a unique claim as it is the first time artists and producers have had a consolidated format to showcase their work. Consequently, the series will be a welcome addition to Audio Therapy's already burgeoning catalogue.

First up in the series is Greece, a country rich in production talent with the likes of Nikola Gala's Perasma project signing to Ministry of Sound and Dousk gaining releases on John Digweed's Bedrock label. The Audio Therapy imprint already has a history of supporting Greek artists with releases from Stel & Good Newz and remixes from Christian Cambas and Kosmas Epsilon. This, alongside other factors, made Greece the obvious choice for the first release of the series.

Should of been Mixed.......2005-10-01

Seriously here, come on Dave. Somebody tell me what the point of having all these great tracks unmixed. Sure Djs can get the full uncut unedited version and play with it themselves but it takes away from the whole theme when there are pauses between each song. That is my first gripe, my second you ask?? Starts way to slow for a 10 song one disc album. If you are going to have a 10 song one disc album it better kick a-- all the way through start to end. Do I hate this album no, Is it going to stand the test of time, no. Buy it if you like, just don't expect anything Dave Seaman like about it. Sure he picked the songs but had nothing else to do with it. It's just a bummer.

6 solid tracks on here. Worth picking up........2005-09-15

An unmixed collection of progressive house tracks from DJ/producers from Greece. Dave Seaman couldn't have picked a better country to start his Across Borders series with, as Greece has some of the hottest DJ's lately, including their best export, G-Pal. All of these artists produced these tracks exclusively for this CD. I've seen one or two of them already pop up on other comps, but they are in remix form.

G-Pal kicks things off with a haunting downtempo vocal track, featuring Anna Maria X. Dousk quickly picks things up on the next track with a stunner called Bummer. Tracks 3, 7, 8, and 10 are not quite up to par with the rest of the solid offerings on here. None of these 4 are bad, they are just rather uneven, with no catchy beats or melodies, and 2 of them border on being rather cheesy, simple-simon house. I was surprised by Kosmas Epsilon, because his past stuff was all solid.

Tracks 4 and 5 are my two favs of the CD, with explosive Supermarket by Phatjak and the melodic Paramount by Christian Cambas. Tonedepth's offering is another downtempo track, with some great fluttering guitar sounds. A typical Tonedepth track for sure.

Overall, one worth picking up as there are 6 great tracks to get here, all in unmixed form (although none of them are super long, and a few are under 5 minutes).

Let me just add that I'm dying for G-Pal to release a CD because his radio mixes are currently the best progressive house sets I'm hearing by anyone!
