B'Jammin VS Marco Havel - The Future
Relative Records
Catalogue Number: N/A
Here we have another release on Graham Gold's Relative label following on from
releases such as Leben - Day One and Graham Gold Vs B'Jammin - Golden Sun. For those
who don't know, B'jammin is actually Graham's son who is now both producing and DJing
following his father's footsteps. Personally, I loved Leben - Day One and I quite liked
Golden Sun so having heard a quick 30 second sample of the piano breakdown online, I
bought it.
Now for the bad news - I'm afraid this is run of the mill formulaic trance of
the highest order. We're talking cliched melodies aplenty - the piano riff (which sounded
great from the short sample - ahem) follows a very basic melody indeed. This is trance by
numbers big time - same old chords and same old fluffy synths and pianos. A lesson to be
learnt from buying a tune from a 30 second sample if ever there was one.
The Marco Havel mix unfortunately is only a little better and avoids a number of
the cliches, using more powerful saw style synths in a progressive trance style. Percussion
though is basic and the bassdrum in particular stands out as being particularly bad.
Not a strong release from Relative in any way shape or form - only worth checking
if you want the same old stuff with no originality. Avoid.
