I love Oscar G but I expected better.

"Living in Miami I'm spoiled that I get to listem to this guy each and every Saturday night at the number 1 club in the US Space 34. His sets are full of energy, the kind that will NOT let you gett off the dance floor, much less leave the club. He never dissappoints. I was looking forward to this CD very much however i was slightly dissappointed in the sets energy. That's not to say this set is a dissappointment by any means. I love the Murk sound Oscar and Ralph have pioneered. Its takes a few listens to really feel the vibe and get in tune to what they are doing. Things heat up with track 5 and the silky voice of Jennifer Carbonell, track 6, Let me Go is another nice smooth track with a male vocal. Baba Sulei was a pleasant surprise at track 8.I expected more because I think highly of these 2. Think about it though: These tracks thrown down in a club would bring any crowd to a frenzy. Thats what their intention is and has always been. They pioneered the Murk sound to sound good in the clubs. This CD wont dissappoint. It's just unfair that the 2 people who have reviwed this CD have the pleasure of seeing Oscar G live every weekend. Thats a hard standard to be judged against. Other than Deep Dish, who comes close to duplicating what they do live to what they do on a set mixed in a studio? Not many.This is definately worth a buy. I look at it as CD 1 to the more anticipated (in my eyes) Oscar G "Live at Club Space" release due out December 9th.That one will not dissappoint. Murk my words!!!"
