Quasars Delight - A refill recommendation to all Loungin, hiphop
instrumentalists and friends of turntable jazz and moody licks
This review will explain why this refill should be part of your sound resources. The well known refillshapers of E-Lab ( Erik Svahn & Jan Lutgebaucks) are responsible for smokers delight - a 3 CD set filled with almost any sort of sound one would expect from a jazzcafe, or jazzy nightclub or the early Rappers hip hop gatherings (recall that burning thrashcan? ).
And many of the well sampled and slices rexfiles and wavdata is just THAT PIECE you always wanted to have sampled while sipping from your extremely foreign and special beer or your bros gin in a paperbag.
- Woodwinds - blown to the skies
- Brass - that makes you take out your polishing paste in order to polish that trombone of your dads
- Pianolicks - that make you wish you had attended the jazzpiano class not only 2 weeks
- Basslines - that make your knees go all jelly, but your feet extatic.
- Single shot drums, fx and well cut vinyl fx
- Construction kit - like hihat ,percu and basekick loops (Hey MPCers & Live artists ,this is one for YOU ! )
CD ONE
The first CD holds a well programmed ( YMC / www.numood.com ) overview of the refills audiocontent (73 mins), that partly shows how some elements can work together, aswell as 1200 clean and sharp wav files of the material the programmed demos were made from.
CD TWO
CD 2 is ROM 1 (550MB) /1500+ samples) holding single sounds of CD 1 aswell as additional 300 loops and sequences. The wav files are prepared for use in Acid and us reasoners receive finest sliced material for Dr. Rex (or his brothering VST- plug ins)
CD THREE
CD 3 is ROM 2 (570MB)/1900+ samples) holding riffs and licks from guitar, horns, basses wurlitzer ,FX ,vocals. again in various formats (Rex2, Acidiced wavs and soloed-drumtrack rexfiles like hihats, shakers ,cymbals ,kicks and much more.
All files can be self contained into your reasonsong ,since they are not packed into refill format. Listening to CD 1 whilst writing this final review after one week of eager grooving (one wouldn't believe my recent upload was goa, when seeing me here snapping my fingers and grooving like mad to housy and hip hopish beats and licks from this CD -Compendium of loungeware.
Knowing many of your tracks my dear reasoners, I am pretty certain ; quite a bunch of you will not only want it, but will use the files in great new ways and present some incredibly swinging ,smoothing and hot jazzin tracks.
