Typically electronica as a genre tends to revolve around repetition and heavy beats, which ultimately is what makes Intuition so appealing. On the first listen through the CD, one immediate standout is a relative variety across the thirteen tracks on the album. While 11 of the set are dance numbers, each of is widely varied in instrumental styling; melodies and the overall “feel” of the music (dark, sunny, etc.). Another immediate standout is a certain level of interplay between DJ Encore, who crafts background music, and the singer, Engelina. At no point do either two seem to be attempting to overpower the other, and strike a harmonious balance between the two elements of the music. DJ Encore’s music is tightly crafted and, as stated above, widely varied. He uses a wide variety of different effects and electronic voices throughout the songs, as well as utilizes many different rhythm and bass line patterns. Engelina is an extraordinary singer, with a crisp, beautiful voice and excellent range (not being blond is a plus, too). Her control over her voice is outstanding, including the simple fact that she enunciates the lyrics well enough to understand most all of them. Highlight tracks on the album include “I See Right Through To You,” the first big single and the theme from the original show Big Brother. The second single, “Walking in the Sky” is also good, although it tends to be the sole song on the album that uses more commonly used instrumental voices and rhythm patterns that almost makes it feel “cliché” if you will. “Chemistry” is an excellent dance track with a deep, pounding bass line and a dark, clubby feel to it. The intro track, which leads directly into “Open Your Eyes” is very well written both in melody and in the instrumentals, with interesting effects such as echoing water droplets. Probably the best track on the album is “Another Day,” which closes out the disc as the final song. The bass line has a certain attitude to it, partially due to a brief moment when that’s all that can be heard, while the melody is downright hauntingly beautiful. Musically it is one of the most intense songs on the album. The album only falters when it comes to lyrics. While the lyrics are not bad, they tend to revolve around the standard issue topics of love and feeling the music (then again most people don’t listen to club music to hear deep lyrics about political protests, social woes or dark facets of the composer’s personality). The only other irritating thing about the lyrics is the apparent lack of Engelina’s ability to use a thesaurus when she wrote the lyrics. Certain words are repeated quite heavily, such as “rain,” which is used heavily in both “Open Your Eyes” and “Another Day” (albeit they’re at opposite ends of disc). However, Engelina’s excellent delivery of the words and the soaring heights she takes them to makes this issue easy to ignore. As a whole this is not only an excellent album for an electronic music fan but an excellent album for anyone with an interest in good music in general.
