5.0 out of 5 stars underrated art, December 3, 2001

This review is from: Atmospherics: Breaks (Audio CD)

This cd is an amazing example of the broad spectrum of EDM and the breaks genre. As the title suggests, the cd is an atmospheric breaks mix. It contains classic tracks which are mixed flawlessly by Fortier. He flows fluidly from track to track from beginning to end while keeping a healthy pace throughout the cd. It's unfortunate that Fortier drifted back into trance after this album because Atmospheric Breaks is a brillant cd that helps broaden the scope of breakbeat. If you enjoy trance or the trancier side of breaks, purchase this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent,Deep,Hard,Funky and Smooth all in one mix., November 4, 1999

This review is from: Atmospherics: Breaks (Audio CD)

Great track selection and perfect mixing on this one. Stand-out tracks being: the Farmatronic remixes of Miro"Paradise" and 3Drives on Vinyl"Greece 2000", along with the Hybrid remix of Energy 52's "Cafe Del Mar" and their own track "Kill City" (which most of us can't find on vinyl anymore),and the Nutribe remix of "No Resolve" by Fade(Chris's own production group). This cd just makes you want to play it again when it's done. Nice job Chris.-------And to J.K.Parks, you're not spoiled, you just haven't gotten tired of the same old beats with the same old samples. Give it time. Your tastes will mature, it's a natural progression. No offense to Simply Jeff, I like him and I like what he does, but he hasnt spun anything different or refreshing in 2 or 3 years now. If you want to be blown away by awesome breaks done by a group that actually makes music, as opposed to sitting in front of a computer with a sampler and a midi controller, check out the new L.P. from Hybrid,"Wide Angle".--G

The great thing about this CD is the grooves. Fortier picks tracks with the perfect combination that hits Funky, yet Deep enough for even this somewhat picky fan of Largly IDM and Drum n' Bass to enjoy thoroughly. If I had to describe this CD to someone I would call it Deep trance minus the boring four-on-the-floor, or LTJ Bukem without the frenetic pace. All in all, this is a great CD and should be added to any electronica fan's collection for lounging at home, or that drive home after a party.
