P.O.S - Thunder & Sunshine

[Progrez]

Surprised this wasn't posted since POS is well known anyway and this is also Anjunabeats Volume 16.

This track sounds like a fusion of Progressive House with 80's influence. I don't rate it that well because I feel it sounds cheaply made but maybe I am being an elitist .

Fairly nice summer track but nothing to do with POS. Should of used a different alias.

 

[Hensmon]

Yeah doesnt feel like a POS track. Summery and some nice ideas but not for me.

heard this last week, absolutely love it. Really beautiful track and an evolution of Paavo's sound. Yeah not POS but the last OceanLab wasn't OceanLab either (and it was much worse than this!)

typical anjuna sound.. modern that is...its got some nice textures but apart from that its very safe/simplistic

I think this is a good example of what his contributions are to the overall Above & Beyond sound.
It's more on the minimalistic yet complex and smooth sound.
No raw basslines, no screeching noises like they've done in A.I. (which was just Bayer and Jono) or boringness and cheesiness like 1001, Balearic Balls, Bittersweet and Blue ... It doesn't sound "pop-ish" like for example some of the recently released "JODA" tracks... So yeah, a good measure of who does what for the "trio".

Which now is more like an entire squad comprised of Bayer, PROFF and even Maor as co-producers sometimes... Yet it never feels like the three do tracks together. The sound is all over the place, same for the label.
ANYWAY.

I think it's fine as a filler for a set but nothing too amazing to listen on its own. It's nice, that's what I can say, very well produced, good sounds but that's all it has. Not very exciting, not painful to listen to either.

Yeah doesnt feel like a POS track. Summery and some nice ideas but not for me.

I mean, he could have made a new alias but I guess it wouldn't have made much sense. Funnily enough there are some old A&B tracks that are very POS if you ask me, like Surrender and Oceanic.

Man I really like the ideas in these tracks but wish they would've been made in different atmospherics and not progressive

 

[Sleepy Robot]

No thank you, these are not for me. Sounds very simplistic and boring. A bit cheap even.
