Artist: Various Title: Tribal Matrix 2 Label: Dakini Records Released: 1st March 2009 Tracklist 1. Makyo – Malfouf (3:43) 2. Omar Faruk Tekbilek – Toros (Kaya Project Remix) (5:54) 3. Jef Stott – Junjara (5:45) 4. Drumspyder – Dunanwi (5:06) 5. Omar Faruk Tekbilek – Dulger (Greg Hunter Remix) (5:46) 6. Rain In Eden – Rumi (5:06) 7. Taichi Masuda – Butcha Bassment (4:33) 8. Taal Fiza – Infospehere (3:38) 9. Makyo – Parandeh (5:25) 10. Drumspyder – Kalypso (4:16) 11. Rain In Eden – Haqiqa (6:24) 12. Dubsahara – Zentropy (7:11) 13. Adham Shaikh – Kundalini Fuel (13:29) Tribal Matrix 2 is basically Dakini doing what Dakini do best, 13 delicious tracks that sound naturally ethnic not forced or sample ridden like a lot of Psychill has become. Bouncing back after what I thought was quite a disappointing album in Lumin – Ketri, Tribal Matrix 2 is better than the first Tribal Matrix and on par with the great Nada Masala compilations. Yes the Sky Dancers are back on form, listening to this compilation is like being transported to exotic lands, being amused in lavish palaces full of gold and people dressed in colourful attire made for entertainment. In many of the tracks I can picture the two ladies on the front cover dancing in the centre of the room and a host of people eating, drinking, mingling and being merry. In others I can picture myself outside in a hot country but away from the city so the heat is comfortable rather than stifling, sitting next to a lake on the seashore dancing under the stars with your best friends that you have just met & will never see again. The whole compilation just feels free, imagine the feeling you get when you have just finished school, you don’t plan to get a job for another year & you have saved enough money to just go travelling round the world. You visit wonderful places with no pressure to move on quickly but just to enjoy yourself. It’s a wonderful feeling & one I am glad to get back just by putting on a CD. Makyo provides 2 tracks for this compilation and you know with Makyo you are going to get some high quality vibes but even I was surprised by how good these tracks are Malouf is a wonderful mood setter at the beginning of the album while Parandeh is an extremely trippy track with a lot of layers and instruments, short vocals that come in sharply & fade out ethereally. Jef Stott gives us an absolutely amazing track with Junjura. The rhythms, melodies and the multitude of acoustic instruments (the lute is particularly nice) blend wonderfully into a very energetic, feel good chillout tune. Drumspyder also has two tracks on this compilation with strong beats and more of an electronic sound but they still keep the lovely natural flavour of the rest of the album. These tracks have really got me anticipating a Drumpsyder album. Rain In Eden – Rumi is a nice 5 minute track that starts of pretty chilled but builds in intensity throughout until it feels like a large group of musicians jamming in harmony under a clear starry night. Haqiqa feels like a very welcome encore. Finishing with an Adham Shaikh track with additional help from Ishq should be mandatory for the rest of the series (please let there be more) as it is such a beautiful soft comedown with lush beats, melodies and an atmosphere that soothes my mind. Brilliant stuff. Recommendation: For Dakini fans and anyone who is a fan of ethnic music this is a must have. People who used to like ethnic psychill but who got bored with everything sounding the same or just sounding fake and plastic could really have their love of the ethnic music return by listening to this wonderful, natural music from ‘She who traverses the sky’ Favourites: 1,3,4,6,9,10,11,13 Originally Published on http://www.isratrance.com

IMDB recommends to watch The Incredibles if you liked Stalker? Are these movies quite similar? Edit: Is this the stalker that Robert Rich & B. Lustmord - Stalker was based on?

Looks nice Well, I like it but then I would Click the picture by the way to download the set -
Nunc Stans - The Palm At The End Of The Mind as it is finishing a spacey ambient set but has a more earthy tone I think the perfect place would be floating in a huge dust cloud in the outer reaches of the solar system but slowly making its way towards Earth.

Seeing as it was voted number 11 on the list of top 2008 releases here it doesn't really look as if no-one has heard of them

Also check out my ambient set for those early morning times after the party Infinite Horizons

Not into your ethnic stuff?

I think that's what happens when your computer doesn't have the alphabet loaded onto it. I think when I wrote Japanese it turned out similar for some others?

There is another spambot on the loose http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showuser=14437 Psynews is supposed to be English but you can write any kind of alphabet see (mine was Japanese don't know what the bot's was) maybe a system of blocking any non English (I mean ABC) script could help?
