Lembher album - Original Edit - Folk Attack

[amriksingh]

Dr. Zeus n Kam Frantic

i have to say, I've only listened to folk attack but Ive heard this version of the album is not much different

i dunno whether its just a money making matter but whatever the version you got, its worth every penny, because this album is probably gonna be one of the best this year....

the first trak..Sachiyan Suniyan Ni, is such a phat tune, gonna be a floor filler, the sarangi part kills it, dhol, tumbi u name it, the tune has such a groove to it

2. Je Jatt Bigr Gaya....one of those jatt tunes , but going out to the big headed ones, lol, hip hop n rnb bass line to it, this is a mc'ing version to it, the Folk Attack version has the none mc'ing version, Lembher shows some vocal range in the track, worth listening to


3. Giddech Deor Meinu Lageyaa - one of the tunes produced by the b21's Bhoota Jagpal, good tune

4. Oh Kuri Patni one of those songs to get ya woofers moving , decent tune

5. Nit Kushi Naal Peendeh....not one of the best tune to be honest, average

6. Das Ki Sohniyeh - not too bad, the final version may be abit up toned

7. Putt Jattan Da Jaw an - u know this tunes heavy, two dhols, one dhol doing chaal another dhol doing giddah, from what i can hear technically, makes you go "hoi hoi", lol

8. Yaaran Diya Yaarian Ne Mareyah - this sound so...India'ish, trust, lol, cool tune

9 - Jatt bigr gaya ( mr shabs mix) - i aint heard this track becoz it aint on the folk attack version

The India release was cheaper to buy to be honest, so half of the shops won't be bother to buy it becoz the India version is cheaper, i dunno if this mastered version is any better/ or if there are any big changes made

some of the samples in the track was abit urm...let say not up to scratch, well it was released by Lembher in India under Dr. Zeus's nose, or is it just a game plan to make money

all i can say is the album is good compared last years releases, its hell of alot better then stuff released this year aswell

about 6 bhangra albums are coming out in about 2 weeks, people are wondering why bhangra scene is so slow.....

the reason behind it is becoz of Dj Sanj's last release where he heavily used rnb n hip hop samples, hence its not his own work, so, the laws gone abit strict on sampling now,

in a way its a good thing, lets see if these manz can produce stuff of their own

peace

Lembher Hussainpuri. A name that has changed the face of bhangra as we know it over the past two or so years. Bringing us hit after hit after hit, one could hardly fathom when he was going to release a solo album.

Well, the Lembher solo album that everyone's been anticipating is here - in it's finished, mixed and mastered form. But was it worth the wait? Let's discover ......

The year's smash hit blesses us as track 1 - Sachiyan suniyan ni. The genius blend of Lembher's vocals with those flutes, strings, vaja and sarangi give it straight up desi, just how we like it. It represents a recent formula for success: Lembher's vox, traditional music and a producer who can put it in the mix just right. This track won't fade out any time soon, and you don't need long to see why.

You don't realise that you're listening to a Dr Zeus production until Je jatt bigr gaya, with that signature Zeus/ Frantic sound. I can't get enough of this track at the mo, with those tight basslines, infectious tumbi, sublime strings and genius breaks. Rydem Ryder only stays around for the opening boli and leaves the rest to Lembher who proves why his assets are in such demand. Busta Rhymes said it best: The only thing you need to do right here is, nod your f*cking head, because that's all you'll be doing.

The rest of the tracklisting is exactly what you'd expect from a Lembher album and differs little from Folk Attack, except that The Original Edit sounds that bit sweeter with the levels up, mixed down and mastered.

It also contains the Mr Shabz mix of Je jatt bigr gaya, which is the version blessed by Swiss (also featuring on his album Pain N Muziq) and is a touch slower than the original, but goes well enough with his flowing rhymes.

Dr Zeus proves that his production capabilities have come on since Unda Da Influence back in 2003, and only gives wonder to how far he can go. It's astonishing that this is the guy who based his early career on remixing bhangarage. He's certainly a maturing producer in an industry of imaturing ones.

There's no doubt that The Original Edit will be mentioned in the same sentence as Album of 2005, and why not? It's every bit the album that was expected from the man of the hour. Now, where's that Dr Zeus sequel?
