Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: pure electronic bliss Comment: i don't write many (any!!) reviews but i do buy a lot of music, especially in this genre of dance music. firstly, i must say "thanks" to Lex...as i buy all of the CD's you highly recommend...and you know what you're talking about man....so cheers! i really think CD1 is one of the most cohesive mixes i have heard in a VERY long time. it takes you on a journey, and one you must start and finish to truly appreciate the full experience. i was lucky enough to hear some of this set and see DS recently at the Miami WMC. dave you really are on the top of your game right now...and what a pleasure. CD2 hasn't really been researched as much yet...but first impressions are very good indeed....CD1 just won't allow me to listen to anything else just yet! if you're into progressive house / dance do not hesitate one second to buy this double CD, it is exceptionally good.....buy it. Customer Rating: Summary: Digital display Comment: I've been collecting this genre of music for about a decade now and my how it has changed. From Nick Warren, Danny Tenaglia, Danny Howells, Anthony Pappa, and Dave Seaman, I've enjoyed them all over the years. In 2008 Dave Seaman brings to us a highly electronic sound replete with thousands of beeps, blips, and noises a robotic dancer would certainly enjoy. There are moments on the two discs that I enjoy that flow well from one track to another with very good continuity and makes me want to get up and move. That's music I feel in my heart and soul but most of this is so cold and unorganic. Not bad but not great. Customer Rating: Summary: Baltimore Musuem of the Artistic!! Comment: I heard rumors about Dave having a DJ tour in Baltimore once, the city that I used to live in, but that was well before this release. However, club music is different than progressive house mix. I put this on and picture myself in the gardens of the Baltimore Musuem of Art with all the scolptures watching a water fall and the flow of water, like the Jones Falls River. This is what the whole entire disc reminds me of. Forget about the last Master Series that Dave did, this is different. Disc one starts off with two tracks being slow and study having a flowing rythme and a little bit of singing, than having more fluid base going with the current. Wonderful electro progressive house, slow and study. It doesn't have to have a lot of energy on the first disc. I picture that garden at the Baltimore Musuem of Art. A nice gentle flow of electricity. It also picks up the beat at the end ending with artistic talent and you hear a lot of electro house throughout the entire disc. Not so much that it is ambient like Satoshi's Master Series 9, but more so that is progressive house. Disc two is the same type of music, but more rythme is happening here and you here more changes and flows of the electro noises throughout the entire disc. The beat is a lot stronger. It is very consistent, but has picked up the beat on the 2nd disc. Think about the last Master Series by Satoshi Tomiie, but not so much that the whole entire cd set is ambient. With both discs, I just picture myself in a place with an electric flow. In other words, this disc reminds me about the Baltimore Musuem of Art, but not with artwork and pictures. This time, is being artistic with the music and how it is compiled. Dave tried to achieve the same thing in Therapy 3, but sounds a lot better on this release. I explained both CD's as clearly as possible and may not be as clear as mud. For those of you that don't have a clue with what I am talking about, I would listen to Satoshi's Master Series nine first before picking up this Master Series 10. If still in doubt, read Lex's review. There is a lot to digest, but with Master Series 10, Dave belongs with the Baltimore Musuem of the Artistic!! Customer Rating: Summary: just buy it Comment: super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dave's most personal, intense, driven and brilliant work in six years. The Master's Series Part 10 finds itself the subject in the most superbly driven mind experiment, and is brimming with some of the purest electronica to be found today. ~ James Woodruff Customer Rating: Summary: Dave's most personal, intense, driven and brilliant work in six years Comment: The Master's Series Part 10 simply has to be Dave Seaman's most cohesive, polished and inspired double-mix album since, though perhaps a stretch, his groundbreaking opus - The Master's Series Part 1 (2000's Awakening). Given the quality of the aforementioned album, such a bold statement has not been made in haste. The music, however, clearly speaks for itself. The first disc expands upon the modernized electro-house theory Seaman presented us on the fourth "Therapy Sessions." The tracklist is peppered with exciting new tracks and well-respected artists. Moreover, disc one finally finds Seaman adhering to a purposeful and determinable path; many, including myself, would argue that the first Therapy Sessions disc marked a several-year period of inspirational complacency for Dave. 2005's TS was a rightfully decent mix, though unremarkable - and 2006's TS fared little well amongst Dave Seaman loyalists. The selling point for disc one of the latest Master's series is smooth resilience; a dream made musical. Near-flawless mixing cements together fragments of beautiful and esoteric waves of sound. Seaman is back in control; on tracks such as Fairmeont's "I Need Medicine" and Dusty Kid's "Cowboys," he displays his unique craftsmanship that captures the ear and does not surrender to scrutiny. Seaman signals his triumphant return by bending sounds as though they were elastic bands before segueing into delicious body-wriggling bass. Contemporary selections, including those from Gui Boratto, Wally Lopez, Samim, Sasha, MOS and Underworld, reveals modern electronica's deepest secrets whilst keeping them whisper-quiet. The quality of Dave's composition even fiercely rivals that of the preceding Master's Series - which is itself indeed a masterpiece. Disc one is a superb and diversely crafted hands-on approach at gracefully welding together those aspects of World music, electro-house, tribal grooves and unimaginably deep lo-fi bass that would, by any other hand, conflict. Instead of discord, Seaman strikes harmony through sexy elements of electronica from all over the musical map, weaving a haunting and tasteful tapestry that captures both the mind and body in sensual motion. Dave Seaman makes his most unique album-entrance on disc two with Johannes Heil's "The Coming." Each tribal drumbeat oozes with feeling and sweet pretense. The track compounds slowly, creeping along with the tension until the flood gates break and the nasty synth-and-bass grooves of Tim Deluxe's "You Got Tha Touch" (Martin Buttrich Vox Mix) whisp away the ambience in favor of a wholly tripped out techno ride around pitch increases, melodic fades and buttery-smooth four-to-the-floor kick. Disc two no longer represents pop rocks and caffeine; what has for Seaman traditionally been the after-dinner glass of Port has transformed into a second meal with its own distinct flavor and an attitude all its own. As bass resonates and spoons tap glass, "Trip to Amaltea" and "Deadman" allow the vibe to wax extraterrestrial (and with astounding grace!). Seaman's clubbier disc takes me back to "Awakening;" a dark, moody, brooding cataclysm of tamed energy gathers, wrenches and unfolds before your very ears. The forceful kickdrum powers forward like the boots of marching soldiers; strings cascade to and fro, seemingly listless - until you feel your heart pounding. Tracks by the likes of Popof, Sol & Grimm, Oliver Huntermann (with Meat Katie, D Ramirez and Odissi), Rekorder, Solaris Heights and Umek steam past with frightening elegance. Remember Dave's face, because it is behind the disc's every internal movement. Disc two is a marvelous and abysmal proclamation of sinister energy; it cannot be missed. Dave's most personal, intense, driven and brilliant work in six years. The Master's Series Part 10 finds itself the subject in the most superbly driven mind experiment, and is brimming with some of the purest electronica to be found today. ~ Lex More Reviews
