 I now see what all the fuss is about! November 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've never quite got into Sasha, I've never felt like calling anyone a 'legend' and probably the man himself wishes nobody did either! But from the first listen this CD oozes high level production talent and totally draws you in. Lots of interesting changes and grooves to ensure it doesn't lack personality or soul like some progressive house can. This is simply a blisteringly good example of a man whose asked for nothing and given something very special which I feel will stand the test of time, and that I guess is why they call him a legend, well earn't I say.
No Longer a Rumour- Invol2ver deal sealed (Successful)! November 20, 2008
Officially, I knew this would be released about one or two days after I ran the Imogene. It was a lot harder to get used to the original Involver when Sasha first started it, though I liked that one with the atmospheric break beats than it picked up a little bit. However, Invol2ver (Involver 2) has a little more life in it than that. The anticipated date was questioned since last year and there were only rumours of Involver 2 coming out in the future, though not confirmed.
Finally, the news is out with Involver 2 now officaially in existance. How did it fair? The original CD had a lot more beat in it than the original Involver release. You could actually here same Sasha tracks in it as well, including a couple of unreleased tracks. The ambience remained, but a lot darker and denser. It took me two tries to get it right, but despite a couple of boring tracks, Involver 2 is a highly recommended release and deserves a 4.5/5 in my opinion. The second CD reminds me of something THE ORB would do. Ambient music!!
Recommended to all Sasha and Digweed fans; not discluding anyone else from trying it!
Masterpiece November 11, 2008
I find it difficult to explain how good this album is. Global Underground refer to Invol2ver as a masterpiece (in the 'Global Underground 2009' sleeve notes. It is. I don't feel the need to qualify this statement. Sasha is peerless. Usually, I make the mistake of listening to albums too often and they quickly lose their appeal. However, this beautifully crafted album just gets better every time. Buy it.

Buy this, from amazon, enjoy. Ignore self promoting reviewers comments, they are too busy loving themselves to recognise the talent, skill and sheer bloody hard work that went into this awesome album. Sasha, I thank you.
A complete return to form and beyond... October 8, 2008

Both Sasha and Digweed have restored my faith in progressive house simultaneously.
Invol2ver and Transitions 4 are two of the best mixes I've heard since the GU Ibiza and Hong Kong mixes respectively way back in 1999.
Sasha, having bored me fairly rigid on two incoherent mixes namely Fundacion and Involver, has produced a beautiful and complex sound scape which blew me away on the first listen. The thing is this mix builds beautifully and hangs so well. The same could be said for Transitions 4 (Digweed)
I feel the Sasha has taken dance music in the direction he wants but has neared perfecting his craft. The tracks are more vocal and seem more subdued and wistful than in previous mixes (see Communicate) but has managed to build interesting and atmospheric layers over them while the melody simply brightens and brightens which achieves the euphoria it is designed to do.
Brilliant stuff. It's just ace.
