5.0 out of 5 stars I Don't Get It..., July 13, 2002

I don't understand the negative reviews for this recording. I think the rest of the disc not only lives up to the promise of "Love in Traffic," but Tomiie ventures into new ground as well. There's the infectious "Up in Flames" with its ominous bassline and repetitive chorus, and the deep "Darkness." But Tomiie stretches beyond house and also gives us a touch of drum-and-bass and some jazzed up disco with soulful vocals. "Full Lick" shows that this DJ/remixer is no one-trick pony. He offers a variety of textures and grooves on this very good disc. Pay the naysayers no mind and get it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lost in traffic, July 20, 2004

By 

90.7 WXIN "Jay" (Rhode Island) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Full Lick (Audio CD)

Let's face it -- Love in Traffic is plain fun, and a great song to listen to in practically any application. The other reviewers were correct when they said this album peaked with only a few gems. But after that, what exactly was Tomiie going for?

I wouldn't even call this house music really. Sure the first 6 tracks or so are heavily influenced in such a manner, yes. Beyond that the mood of the music transcends that of... Soul? It's hardly RPM anymore. I kinda felt like I was at a church function even towards the end of the album. "Heaven" and "Sincerity" specifically emit a lot of wholesome vibes that generally sway from any sort of dance environment.

Let me also stress this: the album isn't bad. Actually it's quite decent, but I'm afraid you'll have to really feel this sort of music to follow along. For those who don't enjoy house music, perhaps the latter end of the album is just for you, and simply skip the first half hour or so. But a CD isn't supposed to appeal to people who wish to skip half of it. Therefore I would only give this album a satisfactory review.

I would stress that the shopper seek out other works by Satoshi Tomiie. He is remarkably talented. Hope this clears it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars decidedly delicious, August 8, 2002

This review is from: Full Lick (Audio CD)

for those of you who feel the need to review the album negatively seeing that there are only a couple of songs on here that matter because of their commercial success, i have three words for you -> you are wrong! this album is great in that it covers all kinds of electronica genres, marking the true signs of a great electronicist such as satoshi tommiie. there is something on this album to please all tastes and moods. that is why "full lick" is a great listening piece.
