Sullivan, Mark David - "Bez przyszlosci"

Generic electronica (6/10)

Why generic? Because there's nothing particularly interesting about this recording. The melodies are pleasant, the artist knows how to compose a tune, but they just do not stay in your head - they are too simple and unoriginal. The arrangement is also very simple, with cheap "plastic" ugly samples. Overall, it's not bad, it's just... boring and pointless for me. As for the genre, it's a mix of space music and synthpop, so if you are dedicated fans of such music, you can check this out, it won't hurt. Apart from the quality of samples this is a decent work from the technical side, so it probably can be attractive to some people.

Newest full length release of our most controversial artist! This guy refused to cooperate with people from electroclash.pl, he was made one of the best Michael Jackson (when king was alive) and Madonna cover that we ever heard .. not the end .. this bonker young hooligan prepared a great never released remix for one of well known polish electroclash/power-pop group called yummy cake. if you're thirsty of dirty, street electro, ghetto tek sounds in the horrorist mood, this release is waiting for you...

This is a hard techno album, heavily influenced by house and disco. Too much influenced for my liking... While it is professionally crafted, it just felt primitive with all those tiring marked beats and stupid generic vocal interludes. However, 4 tracks stand out from the crowd, showing the true talent of Rastadeush:
02 - No One Knows
05 - Hard Beat Dilla
09 - Dark Symphony
12 - Billie Jean (Rastadeush remix)
Check them out.

The album has been released by the 49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for downloading at archive.org in mp3 format.
