I LUV THIS CD. Progression Sessions, VOL. 5 is my favorite LTJ bukem CD ever and if you are a true Bukem fan you have to add this CD to your collection of Bukem classics.
The beats are hot and a little jazzy-just like I like it. This is a gem right here. Forget his Earth series, LTJ's Progression Sessions are where its at. If you've never heard LTJ live, you definitely missed out. He is THE BEST electronica dj ever.
Sorry people, but I found this one disappointing, the continual mix seems to go on a bit, not like Bukem's other stuff at all.It does indeed sound like the live set he played last year, but somehow there just isn't enough variety. The second CD being purely instrumental is a bit of a rip off really.
While not recorded live, there is a definite energy about the whole album with the ebbs and flows in all the right places. I bought this album shortly before seeing LTJ and MC Conrad play live in Tallahassee, Florida. The show was amazing and this album captures the performance brilliantly. Conrad's vocals blend effortlessly into LTJ's silky smooth mixes and to havw one without the other would be wrong. Brilliant.
Although some of the lyrics are well recycled from the other Progression Sessions, the beats make this album absolutelly unique. I can't believe anyone can mix d'n'b so well. While not quite as intense as PS4, this album is still a top notch production. Extremelly groovy, easy to get into right from the get go, this disk made me upgrade my car stereo.
