V-Sag - Fantasy Era

What do you get when you combine a greek producer (called V-Sag) with a japanese singer (under the name of: Tomomi Ukumori) and another north american hot chick dj/producer (called DJ Keri). You get a debute album from one of Greece finest progressive/electronic producers.

Vasilis Sagonas (aka V-Sag) was born on January 28, 1983 in Larissa, Greece. Music has always been a part of his life, having formed a strong understanding and appreciation for it even as a young child. His two older sisters, also passionate towards music, nurtured his enthusiasm and influenced his tastes from an early age. While growing up, he studied the piano for nearly 6 years, which formalized his knowledge of music theory. In 1998, he purchased his first computer to start composing his own electronic music.

Eight years later his debute album finaly see's light. "His vision is to express his feelings; to make people understand his music and the way he wants to feel when he is on the dancefloor. " quoted from this dj/producer. Sharing my personal view on this cd i simply cannot the fact that V-Sag has a beautifull way of expressing his feelings. It's been a while since I had a album with a lowtempo progressive sound. But managing to keep me listening again and again and again all over.

The variaty of tracks never get boring, there are no moments of skipping a track forward because it's one compleet tracklist with different productions. And therefor every single track sounds different but keeps you listening. That does not change the fact that this album sounds like a mixcd of tracks. Which can be considered a good thing, listening to the melodic intro track "V-Sag - A Day Before" brings up the right mood. One which can be considered as enjoying in a beautifull oase of nature. But after that V-Sag manages to lift it up a level every time a track changes to a higher atmosphere untill you feel like dancing in a club or at a rave.

One of the tracks which hypes the energy in your body is "V-Sag - Waterfall". Starting with a melodic guitar sound, you get taken away into a state of mind where it goes faster and harder. The vocals from DJ Keri are truly amazing, hearing those vocals on these tracks make you shiver.

It might seem to good to be true, but for a debute album this is magnificant. Every piece fits together and makes one perfect match.

V-Sag - Fantasy Era is a must have for every uplifting progressive lover. Are you a person who loves to dream away on melodic guitar strings followed by up-tempo beats surrounded by vocals from a hot chick and great dj/producer. Then this is your must have cd by V-Sag on the Planetworks label.
