Ahead 5 Music
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
sunny greets,dear readers..
well...here again the good old
musicchapter....since we had invented
that (not really invented but we
started to write more about music),
other mags did so as well....good
thing !
of course,i have noticed that
many guys didn't really like those
chartlists that i used to publish each
time...so i drop them ! i will not drop
your charts that means the musiclist you
can vote on the A-HEAD sheet,but due to
a lack of new sheets i am not gonna
publish them as the songs are far too
old,so in the next real new A-HEAD #5
ya'll get em back,so keep on voting !
maybe you will wonder what i am
gonna write here if there aren't any
charts,of course i will review many new
cd's! not only albums ,but maxis as
well! i noticed that som dudes use my
way of reviewing albums (review every
song,give em points than take the
average)..that's why i am gonna change
it a bit now ! furthermore i won't
review cd's that already have been
reviewed somewhere else,as this really
is stupid....or what do you think ?
here now some words about the
following album:
MAXX - TO THE MAXXIMUM
it has got 15 tracks ,a pretty
good amount,i think.of course the
current hitsingles -get-a-way- and
-no more- are included,and there is the
first (small) disappointment:the album
has got the very normal singleversion on
it...normally most albums contain so
called lp-versions,but it's different
here! everytime i listen to a new album,
i am thinking about what will be
the next single-release.i must say no
other track sounds that good.really.
what are the other songs about ?
well,first they do not sound the same.
some of course try to sound like the
known ones,but none do really kick ass.
some tracks are a bit slower not making
them much better...one sounds a bit like
the kind of music by -deep forest- .
not bad...well,in all i am not that
enthusiastic about it.it sounds nice,
but ya can't for example put it on on a
party so that people can dance while the
album plays,because some are kinda
undanceable ! 72 %
MARUSHA - RAVELAND
err.well...what can i say.i
personally don't like her sooo much..
dunno why but it's not her it's the
music that has something i don't like.
-somewhere over the rainbow- for example
..sold now more than 500.000 copies in
germany,although i can't understand
what's so special about it..i don't like
it.it's of course included.so is her
latest -it takes me away-.the thing is
that she hasn't much to do with it,
that's what she personally said in a
liveinterview! there she said she
doesn't know a shit about how to handle
all the machines,she just tells what she
would like to have,and so the low spirit
dudes do the job.she also admitted that
it's not her voice that says
-and it takes me awaaaaaaay- so i got
the feeling ,low spririt uses her fame
to sell 2nd class techno.and those dudes
complain about the rising commercial
exploiting of techno..bah! anyway,the
album contains 7 more tracks and i like
most better than the 2 hitsingles .
it has got older material ,such as
-ravechannel- and some more..so in all
buy it.when i sayed above that it's the
music that i dislike,i meant the
hitsingles.. 84 %
and more....and older one but
i haven't seen a review yet:
2 UNLIMITED - REAL THINGS
hm...the cover shows
-limited gold edition- that's a joke of
course.. this album contains
13 tracks,including the current one
-the real thing- but only as
singleversion,hmm...the big question is
what is gonna be the next single in
september ? i don't know..really..
none (!!!) of da other tracks kicks as
ass as the first one. (what a great
sentence,hahaha!) only
-burning like fire- is good as well.
in all,i can say,when ray raps it is not
so good,when anita sings,it gets better
immediately! it's her voice,that gives
sum 2nd or even 3rd class tracks a nice
touch.-no limits- was far better,a shit
they released the wrong singles!
(maximum overdrive really sucked,eh?)
in all.....72 %!
WESTBAM - BAM BAM BAM
i don't wanna waste so much about
it.the 2 hits are included ,furthermore
there is no really good one.some are
quite funny,but in my eyes a really
disappointing album! 68 %
ODYSSEY - LOVETRAIN
they waited until their 4th
hit before they released the album...
all of em are included (of course) .
the other tracks are also quite good..
so ya can buy it if you liked their 4
releases so far... 78 %
the next thing for you is a
review of any new maxis ...well,i only
review those who aren't in the german
charts nor done by wellknown artists .
the reason is that those ones get played
so fucking often by viva and stuff....
maybe sum exeptions later..
MO-DO - EINS,ZWEI,POLIZEI
it should be wellknown to you,as
it is already a biig hit in italy..and
even no.1 in austria ..! as you can see,
it is a german song,but the producers
are italian,so it sounds nice when they
speak..hehe..! it is of course a
technosong with speach on it...the
baseline(s) are really asskicking ,and
that makes the tune so cool.
!buy it! 96 %
ps:now it has entered the german charts
RHYTHM AND DANCE MACHINE - NEVER
they had a cool song
-feel that beat- last year..well this
one includes vocals by lori glori.and
that's where it starts to suck! it
really sux! but.....if you play the so
called mayday-version with 170 bpm,you
will be surprised...great track,cool
speed,nice effects,and no lori glori
(almost) !
normal version 53 %
mayday version 92 %
IMPERIO - VENI VIDI VICI
a really great track,entered
the austrian charts at 3.marketed by
eams,who also support dj bobo,decadance,
beatproduction and others!
this will surely be a big hit
here in germany (and somewhere else
maybe) as well.the beat kicks like in
-latin lover- but has even more great
effects.simply buy it.... 91 %
DR.AMBIENTE + TRIO INFERNAL - RASPA'94
a really funny song..technobeats
of course included...hehe.it sounds like
a technodriven folk song..really great
and funny.. 86 %
TIMECUT - EL VARANO
one of the cool insania records
releases.sum spanish words,with a dance
beat,and the really sweet voice of patty
makes it a great song...but nobody ever
played it...a pity.... 90 %
MR.PRESIDENT - UP'N'AWAY
sounds nice ,but it is one of
those who sound the same.. female sings,
male raps..and so on....so not that
special.!by the way..it was produced in
my town,bremen! 81 %
KEYMOTION - LET THE MUSIC
in september '93 they released
-automatic lover-a great song..this one
is also good.the dude sings sounds the
same way he did in the 1st single..but
the female voice is stronger.the sound
has again something that sounds a bit as
if it came from above or so...
cool stuff! 84 %
LOVELINE - CALL MY NAME
another insania records product,
again with patty,so it sounds great.but
be careful,that isn't a technosong,but a
very slow one....cool anyway 80 %
AVANT GARDE - YOU GOT TO BE STRONG
this another one of the usual
technodance tracks.but it's one above
the average..you know what that means,
so buy it if you like that kind of
dancemusic.... 81%
E-ROTIC - MAX,DON'T HAVE SET WITH
YOUR EX.
i love that one because the
lyrics are funny...yep..one of the very
few dance songs who are worth caring
about the lyrics as well...the sound is
the usual one... 86 %
