    Anthony Pappa - Resolution Anthony Pappa - Resolution
    Anthony Pappa - Resolution Having listened to this latest release by aussie Anthony Pappa I was led to reflect that he is a dj who I rarely thought about although it’s truer to say that somehow I just keep forgetting about him. He’s rarely in Australia, always doing something (amazing it now seems) somewhere else in the world. It also made me realise that once again aussies are "doin’ it" with the best of them. Throw in the stylish work being churned out by locals Ben Korbel and Trent Anthony and you can see were well represented when it comes to mixing it up at the "outer limits" of music today.

    Anyway, I can promise you I wont forget Anthony Pappa again. This is an absolutely brilliant compilation and with regard to cd2 its for me as exceptionally far-reaching as the work of the "great man" himself, yet, very much in its own unique manner.

    When you hear a mix where exquisite track selection is matched by magical almost invisible mixing then you’ve heard the best that this (and any other for that matter) style of music has to offer.

    I feel that I wont dwell on specific tracks for my feeling is that if you enjoy the so-called "progressive" style then this is a must-own. A track listing is included so those interested can do their own track referencing.

    Id like to touch for a moment on a "conversation" that seems to be of interest to many at the moment and that is on the state of progressive music of late. Some would seem to be dissatisfied (disillusioned) about what this style is relating lately. Too dark, monotonous are a few of the feelings being related. I feel that one of the big side tracking problems that stands in the face of this "art" is the existence of "genres". Music is art, it’s an expression, a message sent from the universe through the artist. Its his/her connection to the universe and reminds us that its ours as well. I feel that if we think outside the "titles" and just let music be itself you'll find that the style known as progressive is most brave and assertive in its perception of life. It’s that which I love about this so called style. I don’t feel that music is "dark" at the moment. What I do feel is that this music "conquers" the dark and all the myths about it. For me, music that offers such beautiful reassurance can never be monotonous.

    If music were soccer, the "progressives" would certainly be the strikers. Brilliant, enigmatic, confident, arrogant, individual. Go there. Progressive does!!!!!!
