Product Description
From Amazon.com
British DJ-producer Nick Warren has long been making mixes and music for highway consumption. Most of his Global Underground compilations, such as Amsterdam, lend themselves to long road trips and smooth shifts in velocity. So it's no surprise that this, another project with Bristol dance music wunderkind Jody Wisternoff, is also made for movement. Consisting of progressive trance with some soulful textures and melodies woven into its fabric, Intensify is more emotionally balanced than a straightforward mix, yet it retains enough beat-driven drama to work comfortably as a continuous affair.
"The Fall," already a club anthem, kicks things off, then the record moves through the interstate trance of "Activity," the ethereal "Hypnotise," and the pedal-to-the-metal "Intensify Part 01." The duo also get a touch experimental on songs like "Stealth," featuring Kirsty Hawkshaw, and the exciting, expansive tribal trance of "UB Devoid." Like almost everything involving Nick Warren, Intensify is a fine release brimming with creativity, passion, and a curious but successful juxtaposition of the familiar and unknown. --Steffan Chirazi

Warren & Wisternoff impress.,
This review is from: Intensify (Audio CD)
The sickeningly talented individuals Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff came together to form a sickeningly talented duo dubbed Way Out West. Intensify is their first album, and while not as sickeningly fantastic as one would expect, is a great disc.Intensify is a strange album in that each track toys with different sounds and style; the CD as a whole is quite experimental. WoW's first starts quickly with The Fall, an interesting but not outstanding dance number. Activity is the follow-up, a kinetic and dreamy number that's gotten much deserved acclaim and play time. Call Me is dark and moody, Hypnotise bright and upbeat, and Sharkhunt is well, intense, and would sound very at home in a big-budget spy movie. Stealth slows the album down a bit, with a lovely piano melody, though the vocals sound somewhat unpolished. UB Devoid is the most club-influenced sounding track; very danceable and slick. Mindcircus is a gorgeous chillout number, and Secret a fascinating mix of tribal sounds with cutting edge synths. Overall, Warren and Wisternoff's baby is a great listen. It's an extremely creative and fresh album, with some very strong numbers. Unfortunately, nothing on the album really jumps out at you. While there's nothing bad on this CD, it never quite breaks into 5 star territory, a surprising fact given its creators. Still, Intensify is a wonderful addition to any electronic music fan's library.

This has got to be one of the best CDs I've come across, spanning dance through chillout genres ... it is one continuous, beautiful CD with absolutely no filler .... how many CDs can you say that about? From the amazing "Mindcircus" to the driving "The Fall" (sampling Coldcut's Autumn Leaves) to the gorgeous "Stealth", this is a brilliant addition not just to your dance music collection, but to your music experience in general.
