I thought it was pretty grouvey! Nothing like the old koxbox but still definitely refreshing psytrance.

I never gave it good listens until lately and every track here is good. The Sideffect was little all over the place stylistically but this one is more refined.

https://www.blood-music.com/store-us/67-carbon https://carbonbasedlifeforms.bandcamp.com/ "“Using a vast array of analog synthesis alongside sampled dishwashers, water pumps, escalators, and teething toys; the album comments on the most organic of life forces through its own constructed machines. Recalling similar atmospheres as Brian Eno’s Apollo music, Aphex Twin’s early works, and Boards Of Canada – CBL is the obscure soundtrack to a longstanding search between the nature of Earth and extraterrestrial existence. Best enjoyed with a bottle of wine (or two) and a massive pair of headphones.” With the recent wave of synthwave and electronic-heavy scores permeating throughout horror films, such as It Follows, Beyond the Gates, Maniac, and the like, bands like Carbon Based Lifeforms reminds us of other emotions that permeate through the genre. There is just as much beauty, wonder, and majesty to be had in electronica as there is in horror." Track list: 1) Accede 2) Derelicts 3) Clouds 4) Nattväsen 5) Equilibrium 6) Path of Least Resistance 7) 780 Days 8) ~42° 9) Rayleigh Scatterers 10) Dodecahedron 11) Loss Aversion 12) Everwave Absolutely solid!

I've actually wondered this too. How does it usually go for your releases for example?

Bottom of page "theme"

This is a damn banger.

This one could top Vol 1 in terms of quality, which is no easy feat. Definitely a step up from vol 2. We'll see.

Great flow in this mix.

Decode Reality is insanity great. Powerfully simple hypnotic acid tune. To be honest this album is pretty great. It is the most interesting and least cheesy album they've made.

Oh my god a fragletrollet track!? Edit: Oh my god last time there was new fragletrollet release was 8 years ago..

Ha-ha

I wouldn't have guessed it would be GoaTree. The first album grew on me quite a bit. Can't wait to hear it!

This one is great. Very psychedelic goa. Great drive. I'm surprised there wasn't a review for it already? I don't even remember how I found out about this originally.

These are definitely the best tracks from you so far. Much more goay nitzho than you've released before. Lovely melodies on Midnight Trees.

pics or didn't happen

Hopefully this arrives on time. Waiting for the last one was horrible..

Earglobe is a lost Hallucinogen(+doof) masterpiece. You can throw this anywhere next to other Hallucinogen classics like Space Pussy or LSD and it sounds fantastic. Krakoa is nasty. Very brooding and hammering sound with an atmosphere made of total darkness. Opale is a fickle artist for me but this track really does it. Another total gem is Doof's Giving Godhead. I thought I'd get tired of Doof by this point (His sound is great, but really the saturation peaked after the double CD) but this track takes Doof, and makes it soft. Like really, even more soft than Doof already is. And bouncy. Very bouncy. This is what I'd call trance music. You can get lost in it like in a view high above with cascading mountains on the horizon. I think generally this compilation is more accomplished than the last. Along with the stellar tracks, there are some weird experiemental tracks that also honestly do feel like they should have been released in the 90s no doubt. None of the tracks feel like they didn't need to be released this time around whereas there was a few tracks on the last compilation I could have done without. The only sort of disappointment is the Etnica track and that's because all of the best Etnica music has already been released; the one here feels less mature than many others. I did not like the cover. The elements nor the composition work together. Analog Dreams was at least more coherent.

Absolutely a great album.

BGF happened in the balkans with barely a crew so it's not really comparable. (With anything really.)

Interesting. It seems the bass has subsided a little and layers breathe more. Alien Pump climax is a lot more bright and discernible on the highs than the original. It is less soft but doesn't seem too harsh either.

The new hypnoxock has a lot of things that goa from the 90s had. It's really surprising.

Good stuff! Just something about house music clicked for me a while back. I love the depth of the music. Goatrance is just so maximal. It becomes fatiguing and this kind subtle groovy music seems to re-energize my batteries.

Nice track. Really phat atmosphere and the remix has a total 90's goay vibe. I've started to get into house lately myself albeit melodic house (Deep/Prog) Let's make this a house thread. Melodic house recommendations are welcome!

Very creative project and the fact the artists have studied music(Classical I read) shows. Sounds of cosmic lifeforms is an outstanding album by the way.

That track at 30:00 is insane. Dark twilighty goa. Refreshing compilation.
