5.0 out of 5 stars
They did it again!, February 17, 2005
This review is from: Progression Sessions: Germany Live 2004 (Audio CD)
I was beginning to wonder what was going with the "progression sessions series". Then Ltj Bukem and Mc Conrad did it again! After the first 6 sessions, I was highly disappointed with 7,8 and 9. I did not even buy them(I have almost all of Glo record's albums)cause I was not "feeling" the music. I do agree with one of the reviewers, Mc Conrad is not as fresh as back in the days although Ltj Bukem is still doing his thing. I can't compare this session with PS 1,3 and 4 which are the best(in my opinion). It is one of those cds you can get on the treadmill and run forever. I hope for more sessions in the future and please someone let Mr. Bukem know to bring back DRS. Both MCs are lethal together on any project that Mr. Bukem puts out. You guys know what I am talking about! 8/29/09-Just an update, I ended up getting session 7, 8 and 9. Boy,was i wrong. ALL pretty good and session JAPAN is all i listen to now.

Give it time, November 16, 2004
This review is from: Progression Sessions: Germany Live 2004 (Audio CD)
After exploring the world of electronica and drum and bass for many years it was inevitable that I would run into the likings of LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad, the creators of Intelligent Drum and Bass. The dynamic duo has created a sound which is almost indescribable. I have been hooked on LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad for about a year and a half now and it's been by far my longest music phase. Bukem/Conrad's albums have literally not left my cd player for over a year now which is not typical of me. It has almost become a personal hobby of mine now to track down every progression sessions album LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad have put out because each album takes you into a world of music that is unimaginable and new. To say LTJ Bukem's work is music would be an understatement in my opinion, it's more of an "experience". MC Conrad has the incredible ability to blend in vocals at the most pivotal moments during Bukem's sets. Yes, I admit the vocals can be a bit much at time and sometimes redundant, but honestly, the music just isn't the same with Conrad laying the vocals. They truly are a package. With that said, we arrive now at the most recent Progression Sessions vol 10: Live in Germany. This album I believe differs highly from the rest of the Progression Session albums in that the previous albums all had a fairly uniform sound in each album and it was fairly easy to start enjoying them right off the bat. However, it has taken me a bit longer to really get into Bukem's latest PS 10. Progression Sessions 10 in Germany blends in a variety of sounds: house, hip hop, jazz, and other genres. Conrad actually sings in some of the songs and is surprisingly good. You basically get the best of all worlds wrapped up into one. This album takes a few listens for it to be truly appreciated. Give it time, let it sink in, and then you'll really start noticing the lasting effects of Bukem and Conrad's musical genius.

Florecent, crisp, concrete, drizzle, soul, December 5, 2004
This review is from: Progression Sessions: Germany Live 2004 (Audio CD)
So, it's 8pm on a crisp, rainy tuesday evenning. You just got back from a crowded commute on the trains and buses. You need a smooth CD to relax to. This is your CD! This one is perfect for those spontaneous evenings of CHILL. Selecta LTJ has managed once again to put together (perfectly) a deep, soulful mix, that blends perfectly with the sounds of rain and car horns comming from an open window near you. Seen. Track 3 by (my fav japanese musical talent) Makoto with Conrad is probably my favourite, but there are plenty others on here that are sure to stimulate that section in your brain you always forget you had. My only negetive is: MC Conrad is not at all bad, but he has been on way too many of this series (Progression Sessions). I REALLY enjoyed ProgSess9 which featured Deeizm for a change. Conrad is great, but maybey he should pass the mike more often. CD2 ofcoarse makes up for this. Another champion sound selcted by the champion LTJ Bukem.
