Sasha – Invol2ver
Posted by lt on October 29, 2008
Since I loved the dreamstate that the original Involver could put me into, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the long awaited and cleverly named In(vol2)ver. It begins much like the original with a ‘Grand National’ in ‘You are the worst thing in the world’. I was slightly disappointed as the mix slowed down a bit from there and nothing much happened in the next few tracks, but it picks up again at Charlie May’s Midnight. The Felix Da Housecat moment happens again with ‘Destroy Everything You Touch’ with some horrible grating vocals and you would’ve thought Sasha had learned from the original but all is redeemed when M83’s ‘Coleurs’ comes on, a brilliant track. The mix ends well with the also fantastic ‘Three Little Piggies’ and The Engineers.
Overall, I’m just a little disappointed. Involver 1 was amazing but 2 is very different, being electronic and boring in places to equal the original. However, it still has a great ‘white’ and neutral dreamy feeling to it that can hypnotize you like the original and I highly recommend this mix. 8/10
