Sorry for the late reply. To answer your question, the track that starts at 27:23 is The Kumba Mela Experience - East of the River Ganges

I think that's the nicest track on the album but the rest are similar

A more ambient mix here. Even though there are 54 tracks it clocks in at just over 2 hours! Most of the tracks are merely snippets of the full track so it's an ambient mix for people who have no patience for long ambient that takes forever to get into it & want music that is constantly changing.

Nice to know it's not just here. My brother says England has been miserable this summer. Rain & crap!

The way I have listened to music has definitely changed and for the better as well. When I started reviewing I focused a lot more resulting in hearing & feeling a lot more, something I used to only managed on drugs. After I started DJing I found that even without effort I seemed to hear everything in a track & compare it to others I know. I often find myself completely lost while listening to music. Which is great when you need an escape from life

Vataff Project - Kalitz Black Forest, Germany. Deep in it with light coming in sporadically through the tree canopy. Maybe even surrounded by lovely ladies all carrying about 6 beers each

Orbit Constructors - Abandoned Tombs

At the moment I'm listening to an ambient mix I just made 54 tracks but only 2 hours long. Everything is done very quick with only about 2 or 3 minutes from each track. Some lengthy tracks have only a few seconds in & then are replaced by something else. There are a few crappy mistakes but it's sounding okay so far 1. Cymphonic - Scimerian Silence 2. Sense Project - Cimbalan 3. Senzar - The Red Water 4. Robert Davies - Dragonfly Hollow 5. Mathias Grassow - & Thomas Weiss - In 6. Spielerei & Mantacoup - Pigs Bay 7.

I still have a few original cassette tapes

Spielerei & Mantacoup - Sfunato

Pete Namlook & Mixmaster Morris - Hymn

The Circular Ruins - Immer Du

Cymphonic - River Styx

Yeah, that sucks. They could be making more money! Maybe they can reissue it with an extra CD. Then it's a different edition & they wont have to worry about the limited shit. Or would that still make them liars?

Doof - High On Mount Kailash

Krill.Minima - The Escargots Dream

Nanny Ogg?

So that we can feel all superior to the poor shmucks who couldn't find a copy I think it is a stupid thing to do. I guess though that they thought they were only ever going to sell that many copies (say 300) and saying it was limited edition will spur people to buy it "before it's too late" Just a marketing tool

Nothing mentioned at discogs

Good & bad news. I'll finally get a copy of Aes Dana - Season 5 but will miss out on Aftermath (if they will not reprint the limited editions, which they shouldn't or they'd be liars )

Emanuele Errante - Humus

Well, I love vinyl but as my taste has gotten more ambient over the years CDs have taken over. Ambient on vinyl needed care beyond my rough grubby hands. For portability I go for mp3. I think my hearing is not as good as many other people's as even with mid level mp3 rips I can't tell much difference. For me the physical product encourages me to give more time to albums I may not have loved instantly.

I have heard more than that of course, I didn't just write absolutely everything I'd heard. These are the ones I thought were good enough that I'd like to review at some point if I have time & effort. My most listened to this year is probably Vataff Project - Kalitz but I think it wont appeal to so many.

Gas Gas0095 Microscopics 2008 (remastered) Tracklist 1 Generator (0:35) 2 Experiments On Live Electricity (16:40) 3 Microscopic (9:55) 4 Miniscule (0:01) 5 Pixels (1:30) 6 Vapourware (1:30) 7 Selenium (0:40) 8 Earthshake (9:00) 9 Mathematics And Electronics (12:50) 10 Timestretch (0:02) 11 Earthloop (3:45) 12 F (0:15) 13 Tellurium (0:35) 14 Discovery (11:00) 15 Generator 74 (1:15) The classic album Gas from 1995 has been remastered with a slightly different tracklist. As with any old album being released there is the chance of it sounding badly dated but with a good mastering job this feels more nostalgic having aged well. It's an album with cool funky beats, ambient atmospheres & trippy sci-fi sounds. Lets look a little deeper. 1. Generator The intro is a slow rising oscillation that stops abruptly. 2. Experiments On Live Electricity Not exactly flowing from the intro we have our first proper track and what a 16 minute whopper it is. The soft ambient start is torn apart by the heavy, loud bass stomps. The initial foray into beats is a nice trippy oldschool sound later followed by steadier sounding. The melodies fly about all over the place in subtle ascent and they evolve nicely throughout. The music continues to grow all the time, the beats get heavier, the drones start to groan and there are metallic synths added for good measure. This track manages to be many things at the same time. It's relaxed yet intense. Heavy yet nimble. Music for the brain yet enough to make your head nod and your foot tap. Very nice track. Definitely worth its 16 minute duration. 3. Microscopic Microscopic is haunting and beautiful. Long drawn out drones lie under a trippy sci-fi melody and a lot of trippy little acid sounds ping and squelch. The beats kicks in at a time the howls start to sound like wolves, high pitch in the distance. The little details keep the track interesting after a lot of listens as does the melodies evolution. At times they seem to come out of nowhere. Sometimes they feel like they have always been there but I'm just noticing them. Great track. 4. Miniscule Miniscule is Miniscule. Pointless. Just a blip, then it's over. 5. Pixels A short crazy track. All melody. One from the left then one from the right. One pushes at your back another pours from above. 6. Vapourware As serene as the last was nutty. Melody on it's own only accompanied by trippy little pips and blips. 7. Selenium Pointless little bit of noise. Not sure as to it's value as it doesn't really link anything. Rather it just ends. 8. Earthshake A longer track this time with a more clubby feel. Their are female vocals that remind me of baleric trance and big bass that gives the track a summer feeling. Verges on cheesy without crossing over. Enough quality beats, synths and melody to keep me grinning. 9. Mathematics and Electronics We start with what sounds like it's going to be a minimal ambient track with drones and just a few slight melodic sounds. But it builds and builds adding more sounds more layers finally bringing in the beat. Fully layered now the track doesn't just rest on its laurels, it continues to twist and turn. This evolution keeps the track alive and interesting for it's entire 12+ minutes. 10. Timestretch Timestretch is a full track, 4:30 long, compressed into one second of audio. What the fuck? Just pointless. 11. Earthloop A nice short track. About four minutes of chilled out beatless bliss. The sample sounds like it's from a movie but is ambiguous enough to not get annoying. Over this is a nice female vocal. Under it all are subtle little almost missable sounds each a tiny bit trippy making a kind of melodious undertone. 12. F 15 seconds of unappealing sounds. 13. Tellurium 35 seconds of pointless noise 14. Discovery The beats have an almost lazy quality. I imagine myself on a dancefloor wanting to dance but without the required effort. I just stand there moving sporadically, slightly but to the music in my own little world. The high pitch synth drones cuts through the sound like a hot knife through butter and the breakdown gives me a nostalgic feeling of back in the day in a warehouse rave when the beat stopped before kicking back in again. The beat though is relaxed and I wish I had had this album back then for when we got back home. 15. Generator 74 Just over a minutes of blips and an oscillating sound like a landing spacecraft. This album is great if you ignore the pointless tracks varying from 4 seconds to 90 seconds. These tracks do not link the real music very well and to me sound like unfilling pointless filler. Maybe the label required a 15 track album I don't know. Apart from that slight irritation, the music on display here is classic. I'm glad it got a reprint and a remastering as it now sounds great played loud on headphones.
