Prosper - When the City Sleeps ( Exposure Productions, Sep. 2006 )
Track List:
01. When The City Sleeps - 142
02. Neuroscience - 142
03. Europe - 145
04. Overstar (Album Edit) - 143
05. Synthetic People - 143
06. Stereolise - 142
07. City Lights - 142
08. Friend of the Night - 143
09. Massive - 138
10. Wide Worlds (around 130)
This is the second album of the Serbian Nikola Vujnovic, well known as Prosper, which has always been a serious project. Rumors spread about his second album being something very different, and some reliable people started saying it was successful. Doing the math lead us to the fact that different and successful are two words rarely used to describe a release these days, which means I needed to check this out. So yes, this is an anticipated release. 
Mastering was performed by Odeon Studio, never heard about them, but judging by the quality of this release they must be experienced. The CD itself is red, the artwork was created by killeRRabbitt; the cover shows some fireworks near a city, simple and clear  , inside we can find a picture of Nikola, or is it an assembly of images? Anyway, the track list is found only behind the jewel case, and there's no mention to track times or bpms.

Oh, I forgot to mention this was released by Exposure Productions, a label known for the quality of it's releases, one of the few labels who has not disappointed me yet. 
The music is trippy, well ambiented and heavily electro influenced. It's good, danceable music. There aren't huge build ups, and the breaks are mostly dominated by melodies. 
This is one of those releases that you have to listen instead of talk about it. 
Right now one of my favorites are Overstar (T4), which is packed with a smooth bass, many layers of melodies and a bunch of psychedelic effects. It's one of those tracks that keep going, but it actually arrives somewhere.  Massive (T9) also catches my attention, specially because it is dense and intense, but has less bpms then the other tracks here. Neuroscience (T2) is the track I'm spinning and mixing a lot, its key seems to be Si, so it mixes well with some good tracks I like to mix, not to mention is does wonders on the floor. Another interesting track is Wide Worlds (T10), which is very different from the other tracks here, reminding me of Violet Vision. It has a powerful emotional atmosphere and vocals by Iva Kuzmanovic. All I can understand is:
"My blood cold, my heart stone, my mind numb, my bones cracked, my will crashed, my body left, my soul was..."
I need the lyrics!!!
Final comments: The album is almost 80 minutes long, which is a very positive point, but most important is the high production level of every track, Prosper really carved them well. The rumors where true: Prosper's album is different and successful, indeed a refreshing release which arrived exactly when I needed it. Inside the jewel case there's a message: "Thanks For Buying Original". My reply is: "Thanks for releasing this good album".

Awsome review. i just got mine today and can't stop listening to it. its definatly the exact psytrance style that drives me.. i love the melodies, the electo-basslines.. wow.. it reminds me alot of Wizzy Noise style and they are my top full-on act.. This was a great surprise for me as his first album on ZMA sucked donkey nuts. This is the revolution.. listen to the samples to blow your mind away..
or, you can download a radioshow that featured alot of prospers new tracks !!

hey ppl. thanx for nice rewiev! im very glad to hear u like the album! hope i will not dissapoint u in the future!
there is the lyrics for wide worlds:
I've walked the desert
I've walked the woods
I've ended lost in this wide wide world
I was dead
My blood cold
My heart stoned
My mind numb
My lips dumb
My bones cracked
My will crashed
My body led
My soul was dead
I was lost in the wide world
and then the power of love appeared
And then love appeared
Stroked me from above
love appeared from above
right infront of me...
