Original Series OS.0_2

Product Description
Having set an outstanding standard with OS_01, Desyn Masiello has established this awesome new series with a difficult release to follow! John Digweed and Bedrock look to Jonathan Lisle to push the tempo with the second in the series that looks towards the best of tomorrows burgeoning talent!

Mixed live using five Pioneer CDJ-1000 Mk. II’s and a Korg Z1 synthesizer. Every track has been de-constructed, the loops re-created using all the elements of each track and mixed live over the top or to put it another way you might hear a drum loop mixed over track 3 which consists of a snare from track 5 and a kick from track 7!!!

OS_02 opens with futuristic ambient soundtrack Cosmic Baby – a tribute to Bladerunner layered with breakbeats of Relysis' mix Habersham "Gently Shifting People" and vocals of Rabbit in the Moon’s cover of Depeche Mode’s "Waiting for The Night". In the mix’s first 15 minutes, 5 tracks have weaved in and out of each other, often 3 tracks at once!

The mix also includes tracks and mixes from Gavin Hardkiss, PMT, Young American Primitive, Forme, Trafik, and Andy Ling.

Customer Reviews:

Out of the Loop.......2007-01-25

This disc is good, sure, but I wouldn't pay money for it. And these are my reasons.

The album has interesting beats, and I love the Bladerunner tribute entrance track. Lisle also proves himself able to craft some nasty grooves and be able to utilize bass lines in ways that make your ears perk up - but then, therein lies the problem.

This album seems to criss-cross its own path many, many times, taking on the dark grind of Hybrid's 'I Choose Noise' but less orchestrated and more monotonous. A good trance album, in my humble opinion, should have the ears "perked up" for most of its duration; on this release, however, the handful of perk-worthy tracks are like finding bottled water in a desert - gratification for an appreciable moment, but then one is left almost fiending for more with no relief in sight.

On the whole this is a very unorthodox album, and I mean that in every possible positive way I could apply that statement, but it does not capture the listener's attention like OS.0_1 by Desyn Masiello (who I am coming to love), and Luke Fair fares a bit better as far as the Bedrock: Original Series releases go. Jonathan Lisle is a strong DJ, no question, but he's no world champ. At least, not yet.

One for the ages..........2006-06-08

After fully listening to this CD for well over a year I have decided to finally put my thoughts into writing. This mix is turning into one of the most inventive CD releases since Digweed's Sydney Global Underground release Disc 1. Over five years ago Digweed was dropping tribal percussion beats like Hong Kong Trash, Elements, and Shape Shifter...molding tunes together where you would literally think to yourself "what the hell is going on here! This is superb.."
Lisle has taken things to the same level with this mix. This mix is meant be truly "listened" to and not just put on for generic thumping prog. He drops breaky and techy sounding overlays all the while keeping your head adrift with excellent track selections. Certain CD's never get old, others you stop listening to after multiple rotations. Dance music changes so often that a disc that was created 3 years ago is often considered a dinosaur. After careful attention to this CD, I think 5 years from now, this CD will still be in the library. Listen carefully and you will find the small details of the mix and smile. Nice work Jonathan..nice work.

Get your headphones out..........2006-03-04

Three of my favorite musical tastes - Pink Floyd, Blade Runner and the soundtrack of Baraka - are sampled on this mix. Phenomenal. The mixing is spectacular. Get a quality pair of headphones and put this mix on repeat for a while. It'll grow on you - quickly.

It starts out with a great mix of the theme from Blade Runner and slowly drifts and meanders about through spacey atmospherics and minimal beats. It's taken me several listens to really appreciate it. It isn't until sometime just after the middle of the mix that it picks back up again. There are some really, really great moments on here but overall it is is music that is meant for headphones. I can't imagine hearing this in a club, unless it was a laid back kind of 'hip' club where everyone is a bit too chilled to actually dance.

My only reason for not giving it a complete five stars is that, although it's a slick production (and I mean, slick), it lacks soul. But, then again, we're talking about computer generated electronica so how much soul can you really get anyhow?

Check out his wesbite at www.jonathanlisle.com and check out his other mixes. I believe that as he continues to mature we'll see some great things from this guy.

Not what I was expecting.......2005-07-15

Not what I was hoping for. Too spacey "breaky" for me.

the as-yet unmetioned...and how!.......2005-07-02

Someone was talking about all the borrowed influences. Let's not forget the tribal-chant sample from Baraka used in the PMT track. I haven't been so delighted identifying a sample since I saw Naked Lunch and thought...and thought...and thought...holy S, Jimmy Van M! Moments like that help make music like this worthwhile.

Seriously, I've followed Bedrock and Global Underground releases for years and this is the best I've put money towards in a long time. Most notable is the flow. It inspires me to get off my A (not that I'm on it a lot). The Habersham tracks make the ones Seaman use sound like candy (although I love an opportunity to bag on Seaman). I wasn't so impressed with the DeKay track after I heard Andy Ling's that followed...there's something titilating about the logic of that track...

I suppose the upset is the location of the track breaks, which seem to happen at the beginning of the mix and that gets on my nerves. If I wanted to find a song, and go to it my typical reaction is "no...da*n...that's the song Before this song." Thinks SashenDigs' WestCoast. That irritating.

Careful, you'll want to listen to this a lot. DON'T LET YOURSELF. KNOW DISCIPLINE. Let it not corrupt like Fabric 20 or Balance 5...dam*....
