Over the summer there have been a number of electronic albums and singles that I have not gotten around to reviewing. Rather than taking a look at month old releases one at a time I figured why not just run down a couple albums as well as some recommended singles.
In addition I decided to introduce a ranking system for rating albums in my reviews. As stated I don’t believe in numerical rankings for reviews because of their incredibly subjective and thus arbitrary nature. Instead I decided to use a system of recommendations:
- Highly Recommended: No matter who you are I would feel comfortable saying “Buy this album.”
- Highly Recommended to [insert genre] fans: Excels in the genre but may not be for everyone, for example an awesome Trance album but not something I would recommend to someone who’s not a fan of the genre.
- Recommended: A good album
- Recommended to [insert genre] fans: A good album in the respective genre
- Not recommended: Poorly produced or executed albums, skip.
Read on for some summer electronic reviews.
In episode 52 of EDM, I mention a contest wherein if you design, or give us the idea for a AAC pin, we’ll send you the finished product, as well as a “Brandon Ferris’ MVP Of The Week” certificate! The file you need is in fact, the header image. Please make sure everything fits inside the dotted line, as that will be the “visible” portion of the pin, and remember, the pin itself will only be 1.5 inches, not 15 inches (the photo) so don’t kill yourself paying too much attention to detail!
I’m not sure when we’ll pick the winner. Most likely in the next week or so. SO GET TO IT!
I was going to try to come up with some sort of witty intro for this, but the magnitude of awesome is far beyond needing one. VIDEO GAME AND METAL NERDS, BEHOLD.
