Review follows when I'm done listening! :D

D/loaded mine. Listening now.... (will want to give it a few listens before I review it, maybe tomorrow evening)

 

(Artists names & album art keep randomly popping up after the tracks have played, so I'm trying really hard to delete them without looking :\ )

I feel a bit weird being the first one to post a review (although I'm ready), does anyone want to go first :D?

Postpostpost.

Ok, so I hope my partner won't blame me for posting that cause I was under pressure :D

 

HERE WE GOOO, FIRST REVIEW (I'm so courageous ahah)

 

 

Track 1 > Awesome, I’d totally listen to that all day long. Those girls voices in the background could totally fit in a 1960’s movie. Couldn’t start the mixtape in a better way as it makes it quite mysterious.

 

Track 2 > I.L.O.V.E.I.T, a friend of mine is a PG fan and I’m pretty sure that’s him, although it sounds older than the kind of stuff she made me listen to so I’d say it’s from Genesis. Well… or maybe it’s too ‘‘popy’’ to be Genesis?

Anyway if I’m told this ain’t PG, I will… I will… well I don’t know what I’ll do but I’d be really surprised!

 

Track 3 > That one is awesome, I love the music and the voice. I thought it’d be R.E.M at the very beginning but it’s def not. ‘‘I’m going to make this, my ownnn’’. Good good one

 

Track 4 > Good track. Enjoying it a lot, light, but not bright. I’m going to like this mixtape.

 

Track 5 > HO HO. DADDY’S GONE. That’s the song name I recognized. I love Glasvegas. Lemme sing a bit: I won’t be the lonely one sitting on my own and sad, forget your dad he’s gone, forget your DA’. HE’S. GONE. HE’S GONE. HE’S GONE. HE’S GOoooOOoNE. HO hoooo HO HO. HE’S GONE, HE’S GONE, HE’S GoooooOoone.

 

Track 6 > sounds great, a bit like a light BobDylan-ish song ahah. I’m pretty sure I know the voice, can’t tell who that is though…

 

Track 7 > What the hell is that? Is there an hidden message?

It’s quite surprising after such a good beginning. I can’t deny I don’t like that one, is that Rihanna? (I think I’d actually prefer Rihanna to that ahaha, no offense).

The truth is, I liked the 30 first seconds.

 

Track 8 > Got scared after the previous track (I didn’t want the whole tape to sound like the Track 7 ahah) but I actually found this one very interesting and good in its way. Can’t really tell where it comes from, is that a soundtrack? I’ll def keep this one. Glad to discover how music sounds like on the moon!

(if others are wondering: it’s an instrumental song which sounds quite experimental but soft… and cute)

 

Track 9 > Back on the planet Hearth. Was wondering what it was but then I noticed the artwork. Had never listened to them before (although I heard they were great as an opening band for Coldplay), I’m finding them a slightly bit boring but they’re ok. I think Tom Smith’s voice on this track would make it brilliant…

(I adore the end of the track)

 

Track 10 > How peaceful. Once again I’m pretty sure I heard that voice before, although it’s not really the kind of things I’d listen to so I guess I heard my dad (who’s not gone) listening to it :D I’m clapping too.

 

Track 11 > What a ‘‘bewitching’’ voice. It’s getting moving.

So far that mixtape might have been a bit too calm for me but this is actually quite pleasant.

Partner, are you a guy or a girl XD?... Let’s say a guy…

 

Track 12 > Yeah seems we’ll wake up a bit. Like it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Franz Ferdinand got inspired by such a song ahah. I like that chorus!

 

Seems like there’s lots of old songs, I’m not used to oldies so it’s quite good for my culture. Thank you so much for that, I feel like I’m learning.

 

Track 13 > What a BEAUTIFUL intro on the piano. I’m not really into that girl’s voice though, pity cause the music and the lyrics are great.

 

Track 14 > I like the fact there’s always a slightly punchy song following a slow one, it flows well. I’m not really liking that one, sounds a bit too much like… a musical or something to me (and as a Frenchy, I’m not really into musicals ahah)

 

Track 15 > Yeahh, I so started to think there were soundtracks in there, now I’m 99% sure about it. I love soundtracks, and if that’s one, it’is great. Is that a Tim Burton movie?

 

Track 16 > Not liking that one, I love female singers but I don’t like this one’s voice. The track is getting stressing after 2:20, not into that strange rhythm ahah.

 

Track 17 > And back to peaceful tracks, yeah! Still sounds a bit old and thus unfamiliar to me but I’m happy to discover new stuff. Don’t think I could listen to those kind of things a lot though, but once a while, it’s quite cool.

 

Track 18 > BRILLIANT. I guess that’s a soundtrack again? Very moving, beautiful.

 

Track 19 > I’m loving the music a fucking lot and although I dislike those kind of voices, I could totally get addicted to such a track. I guess I’m ‘‘so easy to please’’ :D

Can’t wait until the end of the mixtape to listen to it again actually…

 

Track 20 > I like the kind of tension we can feel in that song, it’s a great ending to such a mixtape.

 

To conclude, I’d say this made me feel a bit like I didn’t know much about music, I kinda mainly listen to bands from the 90’s so it was great to increase my knowledge.

It sounded like a mix between the kind of stuff I listen to and the kind of stuff my dad listens to.

 

All the songs flow well together except from the very unexpected track 7 which made me laugh. I’d say my fav tracks are the first ones (until Track 6). It might have been a bit too slow for me afterward but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Glad to hear songs which sound like soundtracks as well!

 

By the way, unknown partner, I can’t thank you enough for what I’ll call the ‘‘Peter Gabriel track’’, I’m totally addicted to that one and can’t stop listening to it.

 

Can’t wait to know the tracklist, I’ll def listen to the mixtape again!

 

Thanks Bryce, thanks awesome partner :)

to Khalplay: I'm a little short of time atm, please tell me more through either the thread or my page ;)

Ha ha, the courageous Kha! Too much pressure so you posted first XD !! Great job guys :p

Great review btw Kha!!

 

Review time for me!!!

 

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the English mistakes that may have in my review… I wrote my first feelings while I was listening to it for the very first time and then listened it a second time while writing this correctly.

 

So here’s finally the mixtape I’ve been waiting for days :)

 

Well, mediafire was really messing with me but I finally could download it, it took only a second to have it, which is kinda weird when you know my computer and my connection XD… Maybe it was a sign to tell me that THIS was gonna be something really amazing…

 

Well I think you’re done with my bullshit so here’s the review !

 

A thing I have to say before writing the review is that I don’t recognize any of the tracks! So happy :)

 

So, I put my favorite earphones (Koss, it rocks :p ) and… Here we go !

The first track is beginning and it tells us at the very first seconds the style of this mixtape: electro, original and surprising! I must admit that I was a bit scared when I heard the first notes with this weird voice making some “aah hii heyyy aaa iiii iiii hey” but my fears vanished when I heard the singer’s voice and his way of singing! Really great! Reminds me Dan Black in a way…

The track has an original rhythm, the guitar is really great, so electro rock, what I like when it’s well done, and here it definitely is :)

The mood of this song is pretty happy but melancholic too, or nostalgic… Don’t really know how to explain what I’m feeling.

A really great first track to introduce a mixtape :) !! I think this mix is gonna be gorgeous :p

 

The second track comes, with a great transition!!

It’s electro rock, but more “rock” than the previous track… The first word that came out to my mind was “awesome!” The song has a fast rhythm but it’s calm in a way… I think it comes from the singer, his voice is great and soothing (great personality), and from the xylophone… I’m moving my head and taping the rhythm with my feet but I’m not excited, I’m just escaping… As if I was eyes closed but they are opened… Gosh… Father interrupted me for 5 seconds XD! But anyway, I’m still in as I put play! Gorgeous track, really!! Everything is good and fits pretty well, the voice, the mood, the rhythm, the voice, the xylophone, the drums, the guitar… =)

 

We leave this dreamy mood to enter in the universe of the third track :)

Another really good transition, electro rock again but even more rock than the 2nd track! Still a pretty fast rhythm, the singer is a woman. More guitar on this one, with a lot of distortion! It's really, really rock! She has a great voice! The kind of songs which make you wanna jump, dance and messing with your hair :D

Another good track so, although I didn’t love it as much as the 2 first tracks, which fits with the others!

 

Fourth track, here we go!

Amazing transition, not easy to make I think, because this track has a pretty fast rhythm, like the third one, but it’s really calm compared to it! We’re still in an electro rock style, love the singer’s voice! It’s a really good melt between a voice which sounds very folk (reminds me The Tallest Man On Earth) with an electro-rock instrumental, very calm! All the instruments came progressively, really well done! It's weird because the song seems very simple, but there are a lot of instruments and effects! It’s still a dreamy mood for me, just close your eyes and you’ll escape from where you are ;)

Really good track, again! Like it! But I think I got a crush on the second one :p

 

5th track… An impressive change of mood! Like you wanna say “SO NOW EVERYBODY STOP DREAMING! WAKE UP AND SMILE!!!” XD

We're still on electro but it's much happier! AWESOME! Made me smile at the very first notes! It seems pretty old school although I think it's not, the kind of songs which makes us smile!

The instrumental is really great! The singer is awesome, his voice and his personality are so… original and offbeat! I can hear that he’s really enjoying! I can just imagine him on stage singing right know!

Now I feel as I was preparing myself to go out to dance and have fun with my friends!

 

6th track: on the dance floor right now, forgetting everything and enjoying!

 

It’s a great GREAT GREAT TRACK!!! The transition was awesome! Electro again, a great bass!

The synthesizer is gorgeous! The style is pretty much dance, makes me wanna dance in my room (why the hell do I put my earphones XD) !

GOSH, I feel like I'm back in summer! (No, I won't look at my window XD)

 

7th track… Back at home!

 

Damn, we change totally!!! Acoustic, a great folk guitar is leading the track at the beginning... The transition seemed rude at first but it fits. It's like we were going to bed and make sweet dreams after we spent a GREAAAAAAT moment in a nightclub and we think "Yeaaah… that was awesome…” with a great smile upon our faces…

The other instruments come, a xylophone, trumpets I think, but everything is really... it fits you know, can't explain, just wanna let myself go and dream while listening to this song! Step by step the song becomes “richer” and it explodes… The choirs are beautiful.

 

8th track: dreaming!

 

Really good transition, a more faster song, it starts like the last ended, with a musical “explosion”… On the same mood, the dreamy one, wanna let myself float… Reminds be the style of Beirut

I prefer the previous one though…

It's a little bit melancholic but don’t know, I feel hope when I hear it :)

 

9th track… WAKE UP EVERYBODY!

 

Great transition again, it fits well with the last one cause it’s a fast song.

It's pop rock, a lil’ bit electro, it's like you're wakening up after the night and the dreams we lived in the past 4 songs! The first thing I see is the beginning of a sunny day, preparing yourself to go out!

Love the piano which gives a great rhythm to the song ! The bridge is really good!

Love this mood, happy and dreamy too, with rhythm!

 

10th track: Get out everybody and have some fun!

 

Yeah great transition again!! Definitely rock!!! A fast rhythm! Wanna move, laugh, make a lot of stuff, like during a busy sunny day during holidays!

Really enjoyed this song, made me travelling without moving!

 

11th track… the sun is going down, everybody’s going back home…

 

Oh, it calms down, like the end of the day, a folk song, with a bit of synthesizer or don't know what behind, and beautiful guitars… So now, you’ll really think I’m stupid (if it was not already the case…) but I hear 2 pretty voices, 2 men singing on the same time, but I don’t know if it’s the same guy ôO…

Anyway, it sounds beautiful… Really, I feel like I spent a gorgeous day and know I'm watching the sun going down and thinking… In a dreamy mood, not happy or sad, just dreamy... Feel like I'm not on earth right know...

 

12th track: still dreaming…

 

Still folk, pop-rock… More rhythm, a pretty awesome voice! Love the chorus :)

Makes me move my head and feet but still in a dreamy, naive mood... You know when you're thinking about someone you love... It's a bit old school, remind me The Beatles.

It’s a really romantic song I think!

 

13th track: going back home…

 

Now a calm song, still in the same style, rock…

Feels like it's know the night, we're going home after this great day, you know...

Yeah the bass rocks, the drums and the electric guitar solo too!

The kind of song which gives you smile and hope again when you're a bit down… Love it :)

 

14th track…

Well I'm pretty out of words now XD !

Great transition, one more time! Much more rhythm, but a dreamy mood again! A pop rock song but with electro influences…

A great bass, the effects on guitar are great! It makes it sound pretty electro but it's not... don’t know how to explain!!

This song makes me escape too, always that beautiful dreamy mood I love! I really feel we are at the end of this amazing tape (unfortunately :( )

The voices are really cool!!

 

15th track… Well the last one :'(

Great, great transition again! It ends in the same way it started, electro rock and original!

Still a dreamy mood, a great way to finish a tape!

(F***ing telephone, should have not answered!)

Anyway... A great track to finish this amazing tape!! The dreamy mood is over… :’(

 

So, what can I say… Just amazed by this tape!! The tracks are awesome!! And I feel like the person who made it has amazing musical tastes and worked very hard because everything fits perfectly!!

 

Really enjoyed this tape! Just can’t describe how much with words! Can’t wait to know who is this person!

I had a great moment, travelled without moving! Turned my head and saw it was already dark outside… Damn…

 

Thanks a lot, whoever you are!! =)

 

And again, thanks Bryce!

Awesome reviews :dance:
