  1. Mmmm... still waiting for my order. Came on 11/10/05 but no-one was in.
  2. I'd be interested IF it was AU compliant.
  3. Do it by ear. Play a chord on your guitar and match it to the song - trial and error.
  4. Future Sound Of London
  5. Maybe he meant Hallucinogen in Dub?
  6. Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible
  7. The real stuff is better. It's so much more satisfying.
  8. Future Sound of London - Vertical Pig
  9. Personally, I can't wait for the huge box with all the bubble wrap inside. It's so addictive.
  10. Thanks! The actual track is finished, but I'm not happy with it. A remix of it will go on the promo.
  11. Entheogenic - Spontaneous Illumination Tracklist: 1 Ground Luminosity 2 Habitual Overtones 3 Pagan Dream Machine 4 Mindless 5 Invisible Landscapes 6 Twilight Eyes 7 Spaced [ Discogs link: http://www.discogs.com/release/221034 ] Review: I can't find a review ANYWHERE else on this site. But this is such a great album I had to tell you all about it anyway. This is the second release from Entheogenic, their first being the self titled album that was released in 2002. Let's skip the background and go through the tracks, shall we? 1. It's a dark and mysterious journey, full of reverbed chants, crows crowing and overall a gorgeous atmosphere. The melodies take you somewhere else - most of them delayed arpeggios. The rhythms are hypnotic and infectious here, sucking you in. Nice start to the album! 2. Starts off dark like Ground Luminosity - this track feels a lot more mechanical and industrial in the beginning - eventually finding floating melodies. Again, we have plenty of singing and scalic melodies. Cool track. 3. Probably the best on the album. Begins with some ethereal voice and straight into the synth weirdness. This track is beautiful, extremely peaceful - I can't count how many times it's been played on my stereo. It does sound very pagan too, lots of monks chanting in the background. The entire song keeps building up and up until the amazing string break around 6:00. Sensational! 4. Nice Shpongley flutes in this one. Faster paced than the others too. Great acid lines and the song is full of textures. Again we have the characteristic ostinato like bass, vocals and atmospheric pads with the strong percussion. Nice track! 5. Great track. The McKenna sample really fits this one - "...Life is a problem to be solved, it's a conundrum - it's not what it appears to be - there are doors - there are locks and keys - there are levels..." - The vocal drone is hypnotic, and again this track is very atmospheric. I like the way the track 'explodes' into a 4tothefloor groove before some percussion breaks. Again, this track features a beautiful string break around 6:30. 6. Haven't really listened to this one much. It's very spacey and again we have McKenna in the background. The choir at the end of the track is very surprising - gotta listen to this one more I think. 7. "And then I promise you, you will dream a different story altogether". Very floaty and space like. The first two minutes could have easily passed as from Star Wars - with the pads playing fifths. Again, very atmospheric. Fantastic album. Just put it on and relax. Only criticism here is that some elements are the same in each track (the hihat pattern is the same in 3 + 4) - which isn't annoying - just that's me being fussy as a musician! Favourites: 1, 3(!!!), 4, 5(!!) Psyshop: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/cor/cor1cd001.html
