| #3 / Thu, 25 Mar 10 16:07 Anything with Oni Ayhun - OAR003-B on it already gets me excited, but then a Crazy Cousinz track just after?? At least it does seem to take in a very wide range of flavours. . . Anyway, as they say, the proof is in the eating (as it were)

| #5 / Thu, 25 Mar 10 17:40 I've heard the mix and it is fantastic. A wide variety of sounds but all flows very nicely, different styles melding into each other rather than being forced like unmatching jigsaw pieces!

This looks good.

Hehe, it's "The proof is in the pudding" Though I may have got it a bit back to front!  The full proverb is "The proof of the pudding's in the eating" or another "whatever the ingredients, let the final-sweet taste alone be judged" Either way both very relevant for this mix (I think?!) (cheers Wiki)

| #16 / Fri, 26 Mar 10 13:33 Fair to say that Optimo have made some of the most enjoyable mixes I've ever heard from their Walkabout one to the Synth Summer one from last year (can see some of the tracks from that on this). looking forward to hearing it.

Hmmm, now where did I store those old Optimo (Espacio) mixes...

| #28 / Sat, 03 Apr 10 17:07 i had the chance to hear a promo copy today and it is a pretty enjoyable tracklist indeed.
nevertheless i'll be a wet blanket here, but something really badly pisses me off : LIVE ABLETON.
a great tool indeed, but when used to create and montage a mix please make sure the 'warp' function doesn't totally ruin the tracks.
to me, this mix (and so many others) is an insult to any music lovers who slightly care about hearing songs they love used in a proper way.
coming from respectable people like this (and released by such a firm), one could expect a much stronger awareness of sound quality, but they seem to have succumbed to the ready-mix easiness of today's technology. a bit of a shame, isn't it ?

Nice mix from Optimo though, first listen and it sounds good so far, I think you always need a couple of listens to get into mixes though.....

| #31 / Fri, 14 May 10 21:43 Yep, it's good folks!!! The thing I love about Optimo mixes is they all have the feel of the city and always have this positive feel running through them, kind of playful. Anyway, this Fabric release is worth getting, if only for the wonderful Oni Ayhun tune that weaves its way through.

I do not care if it was done by Ableton or not.. as long as it sounds good, and there's a continuous infusion of creativity in there.. One of my favourite fabrics for sure!

| #34 / Sat, 22 May 10 03:42 (Edited: 22 May 10 15:07) its quite good and it grows actually.. one thing that made me furious though.. why on earth include Spencer Parker's Yogoto??  It's a plain copy of a track Paul Johnson wrote as "La Drid Austin" in 1992 La Drid Austin - You Got To Movethis is not sampling it's obvious plagiarism Spencer Parker should be shot

I actually pretty like that track but never realised its basically the same as the PJ track! Wow . . . As for fabric 52 - it hasn't quite grabbed me yet. Some good, some not so . . . gotta still give it a few more listens. And i'm certainly guilty of judging the Crazy Cousinz track before actually hearing it - its not that bad to be honest! Who'd have thought it?

| #36 / Sat, 22 May 10 15:18 its scandalous imho... but i guess this is how people make music nowadays.. "sampling" (copy+paste) ftw!
the crazy cousinz track is not too bad
the only track in the mix i cant stand is Capablanca & T Keeler 's La Konk Fiesta

 | RA Review Coinciding with the climax of their dedicated run at Glasgow's Sub Club, Fabric commissioned the two Scottish DJs best known as Optimo to record a mix for their famous ongoing series. Judging from the tracklisting itself, it actually seems Fabric 52 would be more in sync with the FabricLive spirit..
|
|
| #37 / Fri, 18 Jun 10 12:05 was disappointed - expected so much more from a duo heralded as genre defiant masters with bottomless record bags

| #40 / Fri, 18 Jun 10 13:02 "but here it sounds totally natural and adroitly polished"
Listened once and a few mixes really stood out to me as 'Shoehorns', really bad clashes on a few of the tracks.

| #41 / Fri, 18 Jun 10 15:34 Was 100% unimpressed with this mix and sold it to a second-hand store for store credit, which I used on some Philip K. Dick books.
Really hoping Fabric ships the Zero T mix soon, as I am excited for that one...

I myself was pleasantly surprised by this mix. Was expecting eclectic, clashing crap and got something that I enjoyed listening all the way through instead.

| #47 / Mon, 21 Jun 10 08:44 Overall a good mix, not at all a brilliant mix. And that mix between Rheingold and Konk Dance Party is a stinker of the first degree. It's just lazy leaving a bad mix like that in a finished product. I expect more for 14 hard-earned euros.

True, but I am very excited for the next two installments - Zero T and Surgeon. Hoping they both come ASAP as I believe both will likely be "keepers" for me. Last mix CD I purchased was Secret Cinema's "Welcome to My Club" so waiting for that to arrive in the post. Still wish they'd give an installment to Jori Hulkkonen and one to Jason Hodges......or how 'bout one for Dan Bell?
