Armed with dark thumps and immaculate production, Liverpool’s Dave Ralph continues his winning streak on the 2-cd set Resident Alien. While he’s been spinning records since the mid-‘70s, Ralph didn’t really hit the "international superstar DJ" stage until 1999’s Tranceport, Volume 2. Since then, he’s been everywhere, including a high profile set at Berlin’s Love Parade festival. As his star has risen, his use of popular dance tracks like Madagascar has dropped off in favor of exposing lesser-known and occasionally self-produced tracks to the masses. Alien’s best moments come courtesy of Ralph’s own work (with an assist from producer Alex Whalen), like the lovely "Full Contact" and "Pangs of Ambition." By looking deeper and exploring new sounds, Ralph’s ability to keep a dance floor in motion shows no signs of fading after all these years. --Matthew Cooke

5.0 out of 5 stars
Smooth as Silk,
By "rayvinazn" (Okinawa, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resident Alien (Audio CD)
This CD is, no BS, the smoothest thing since silk. I wouldn't even call it mixing, it sounds like Dave slides right into his next track, his basslines matching perfectly, as well as the beat. I'd slip this CD on and wear it as a shirt if it were any smoother. While not quite as dark as most of the stuff I usually listen to, it's still a very powerful, very well put-together CD, and it will remain a classic in my eyes. Thank you, Dave, for one of the most emotionally moving CD's I own.

What a clean album..,
By
This review is from: Resident Alien (Audio CD)
I'm kind of new to Dave Ralph. Although I've heard about him before but never really got around to listen to his previous mixes. Then I see his new album and thought, lets give it a try.. I have to say, I am very pleased. You can't go wrong with this title. It's pure progressive house to the fullest. With some very enchanting vocals here and there, every track will in this album will get the night going. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the 2nd disk

sleek and sexy; deep and spacious,
This review is from: Resident Alien (Audio CD)
While this does not have the variety and colorful business of Dave Ralph's "Naturalized", this remains my favorite album of Dave's work. The mix is spacious and reserved, almost minimalist in a way, but at the same time busy with sweeping cascades of white noise that give a spacious wind-like effect and carry you through the set. Sexy bassline grooves and thumping pulse beats drive the mix, while reverb-soaked deep house samples and roaring winds shift and breathe around you. I would call this style of sound "dark trance", though the songs on this album can be as heavenly as they can be dark. Definitely a winner.... a smooth pallete of cinematic sounds that sets itself apart not only from the rest of the trance world but also apart from Dave Ralph's other albums. Sleek, groovy, smooth and spacious... heavenly, deep and very cool.
