Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Limited Edition Two CD set. 13 tracks. Unlike dance mixes that are simply compilation CDs consisting of hits blended together in a continuous flow, DJ Sasha's Involver is a mix that features both the artist's own music and exclusive tracks from other electronic artists. The resultant vibe is more like a traditional single-artist album than a collection of unrelated songs. In addition to the usual mixer and turntable techniques that form the basis of dance DJs' stock-in-trade, Sasha employs cutting-edge computer manipulation and a wide array of vintage synthesizers to blur the line between fully produced recordings and live improvisatory disc-spinning. Using his trademark trance aesthetic as a starting point, Sasha establishes a spare, cool-as-ice feel with a distinctly European flavor. He maintains this throughout, slowly building the tracks with the care of a painter, and ultimately delivering an album equally suited for the club or a post-party headphone session. Rolling Stone - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - 'One satisfying set....This is Sasha's most substantial work in years.' CMJ - 'Stylistically, he veers far off the progressive path, offering moody textures, fractured breaks and crunching guitars...'

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Novice work
Just to prove that I have nothing against Sasha, I continue buying and listening to his music, good or bad. And I do so hoping (for a very long time now) that Sasha will be resurrected from his self inflicted wounds that lead to his musical demise as I have stated before in another review. I mean, he is an icon whether we like it or not. But it just hurts (at least for me) all that more every time this legend's downfall is substantiated. I mean The EmFire Collection got absolutely nowhere and now ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Less Involved
I am disappointed with the direction Sasha has taken over the last several years, compared to the days of Global Underground Ibiza and the first Involver. These CDs had so much emotion, so many melodies and chords that would take you through an uplifting journey.

However, with the new Invol2ver, Sasha has unfortunately fallen into the recent trends of club music; that is, he has embraced the minimal sound since it became so popular and this has sadly influenced his music overall.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Sasha Does It Again!
Great disc, a bit too reminicient of GU13 and Involver, but great stuff nonetheless! Gets played over and over and over!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Electrohead
Loved it...If you're a fan of Sasha, and know what he does with music, listen to it.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An icon's return to form
Now, I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore trance/ electronic fan, but I've been following Sasha since the late nineties. It began with the Northern Exposure series and continued on to Airdrawndagger. I thought Sasha had reached his peak. Surely, he couldn't top Airdrawndagger and then he hit us with Involver. Sasha gave us an eclectic sample of electronic music that was true to the scene, but accessible to the casual listener. That was one of his strengths; that was why I followed him.
