Customer Reviews of Stateside Sessions 2: Drum & Bass
cute package, but contents drone i thought this cd would be excellent, like those i have heard from other outstanding NYC djs like Dara or Reid Speed. unfortunately, it is not- in my opinion. the tracks selected are boring - played all together the way she does it. maybe each one alone might be tolerable, if juxtaposed with some more complex rhythms or some melody, vocals, anything! but it seems like one long boring clanking track all the way through. she attempts variation with track 2 but goes nowhere with it. i was extremely disapointed. no real melody or variation here, just unoriginal, unspirited dark middle of the road D&B.
The girl is simply amazing.
This mix is great. Starts out incredibly mellow, almost an ambient track, then builds up and hits full force. It continues to swell and ebb the length of the disc. She has a good feel for her music, and places the tracks well. If you want an intro to some of the more technical dnb, pick this up you'll enjoy it; if you already know what you like, the track listings speak for themselves. Sessions 2 is on my heavy rotation list of cd's. And, she's pleasing on the eyes to boot!
True to the Dance Floor
I've heard those other mix CDs: Reid Speed, Dieselboy, DB, Sage, etc. They are good. But this one is better. On Stateside Sessions 2, the song selections and mixing stay true to the dance floor. This is Drum and Bass just the way I like it. It reminds me of a late night out in NYC. I can definitely tell that Empress came out of that NYC junglist culture. Techy, tribal, fast.
You'll notice that the really BAD reviews below came from users who live in NYC. They probably have other reasons for disliking her, such as being competing NYC DJs, and one guy really doesn't give any details at all, as if all he wanted to do was lower her score maliciously. He didn't back up his bad review with any reasoning. My suspicion is that they have something personal against her (almost everyone in NYC has beef with one another) which has nothing to do with the quality of this CD.
Empress has so many great songs on this CD, including one by Juju and another from Phunkatech Communications. Breakbeatscience Recordings is also represented right up front. This is US Drum and Bass at its finest, with the entire country represented. This is the ONLY music that can get me on the dancefloor, so it has my full recommendation.
