Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

From the moment trancy London house mate Seb Fontaine slaps down Cevin Fisher's "Music Saved My Life," it is clear that this latest quality release from the Global Underground series is going to be a well-designed journey. Wasting no time with ambient soundscaping, Prototype 2 showcases a DJ who manages to blend trance, funk, and the general feel of techno into one belter of a Friday-night double. It has a subtle blend of smooth edges and thunderous power, with the effortless glide of Stone Factory's "Sunset" or the undulating glide of Soultrance's eponymous effort all warm and fuzzy alongside the intensity of pounding techno-trance such as Durango-95's muscle stretching "Drum Decay." Liquid Art's expansive, house-trance-textured "Liquid Groove" is the true departure point into uninhibited abandon. DJ Jan's "X Santo" is all about sliding past speed limits (which Paul Van Dyk's "Avenue" keeps up nicely) before Fontaine brings the sunrise with a mix of Atlantis's "Fiji." Prototype 2 demonstrates that it is one thing having records, and quite another knowing how to use them; Seb Fontaine has both. --Steffan Chirazi

4.0 out of 5 stars Seb stays the course nicely, June 8, 2000
By Patrick (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
On Seb's second Global Underground opportunity, he adheres toroughly the same formula that worked for him on the first"Prototype." For your money, you get another party-ready mix; nice thumpy tech-house on disc 1, classy trance on disc 2.

CD#1 starts out rather impressively with Cevin Fisher's chunky, uplifting house anthem "Music Saved My Life." From there, Seb drops a few bottom-heavy, down and dirty grooves. The disc reaches a peak with Soultrance's eponymous track, then further lays into the Timo Maas house vibe with his "Eclipse." As the sublime "Somebody Scream" from Warriors of Love eases out, you finish disc 1 with the sounds of Durango-95's groove-laden "Drum Decay."

As with the first Prototype, disc 2 is the untempo trance-fest. Veterans Nalin & Kane get it moving with "Open Your Eyes," and it just goes and goes and goes from there. Mixing out of Paul Van Dyk's familiar "Avenue," the listener is treated to the truly beautiful progressive trance sounds of "Deep Blue Dream" by Planisphere. Mothers' Pride - "Learning To Fly" works nicely at peak-time, and the mix ends with one of Seb's favorites, the ultimate sunrise-bringing afterhours trance smash that is "Fiji" by Atlantis.

The final verdict - Prototype 2 is a solid mix encompassing a wide range of styles. I strongly suggest this set to those who enjoyed Seb's first Prototype.

5.0 out of 5 stars <5am>, January 15, 2000
By A Customer
Flawlessly reveals both of Trance's faces - out of cd 1, come mesmerizingly entrapping basslines that are sure to elevate your consciousness to unimaginable levels. Then, just when you believe yourself an alien on your own planet, cd 2 comes and reminds you of the warmth that Trance can convey through human emotion. A must-have for anyone who likes the genre, this is a very complete album. I would compare cd1 and cd2 to pre-5am (nightclub) and post-5am (afterhours)

3.0 out of 5 stars CD2 is awesome, CD1 ummm, January 12, 2001
By Kamran Khajavi-Nouri (new haven, Ct United States) - See all my reviews
Well lets see CD2 is great. Peak time sound is the best way to describe it. Basically this means this is the kind of music you want to listen to as your just about to enter a club on a Saturday night. Sebs Hooligans mix of Open your eyes is awesome because it doesnt have the stupid refrain open your eyes and see the child you are in it. Song 2 MIro OHHH MY GOD: simple so simple but so good. 3 and 4 are average...but then you reach 5 and then the rest is gold from there EXCEPT FOR AVENUE....GOD I HATE THIS SONG! Pvd is awesome but please this song TOTALLY doesnt fit in here. I dont like CD1 but I mean IM really not into that whole style of music way too loud and noisy for my liking, but some may like it. Anyways CD2 is almost perfect and makes this a good buy if you can tolerate tech house or whatever the music on cd1 is called.

Not as good as Prototype 1 but still has a few good songs. The best song in the entire compilation is Disc1 Track11 Mauro Picatto's Iguana. Then from Disc2, track6 and on.
