ambient/downtempo: Freeworm - Vegetation=Fuel
there is atleast didgero in the second track, but I can't arsed to listen to the whole album now.
-
buy from a private person instead?
btw it's postage cost.
-
I was talking pretty widely though, psychill/downtempo/psybient whatever... I lump those together.
-
To be honest, all this "psychill/psy-ambient" coming out these days is no more than generic chill to my ears. Whether it's Androcell, Tripswitch, Bluetech, Entheogenic,........it all sounds to me like a lame copycat of the first Shpongle album - and I don't even like that one anymore. All in all, psychill is to "real" ambient what fool-on is to "real" psytrance, IMO.
Feel free to call me an ignorant dickhead now, but it was high time for me to let it out.
edit: fuck, was that full of typos! Beh I'm tired
amen! I've been listening through every known psychill album from 2006 and they are all pretty lame, but hey we got another 6 month to go so keep your fingers crossed. true, most of it sounds very uninspired/generic. last year there were atleast a new ishq album and the gaudi/testa album on emit that held some quality.
-
did you listen to this before order?? I'm still tryin to decide if it's worth the money or not. gaudi/testa and gel-sol from emit was great though.
well, this is my monthly batch of CD's:
Monolake - Plumbicon Versions CD
http://www.monolake.de/images/labels/ml019_front.jpg

minimal/ambient techno from Chain Reaction lable.
-
atleast you got some ozric albums there, that's where the money alone!
-
sure, but I think he meant more like "sonic structures" if you know what I mean. I agree too they are not just a jam band as they are classified as sometimes. on some gigs they really let it loose but on the records they have a concept.
-
are these posters, acrylic/canvas, etc?? and are you shippin from Canada?
-
yeah 'Tight Spin' is awesome, the whole album is in fact. there's a song off The Hidden Step or a part of a song actually that reminded me alot of Shpongle - was it 'Tight Spin'? I can't remember which one it was but it was my instant thought "hey they must have listened to shpongle while doin this one".
btw. what kind of trance would an ozric-fan like? please pm if that's more appropriate.
-
ozric tentacles is pure luuuv
couldn't imagine my life without them. yesterday I listened to Spirals In Hyperspace and Strangeitude. two cool albums. but watch out for Waterfall Cities if you are new to them - it's far from their best album. -
humpetido
-
minimalistic and ambient stuff for this month:
Rechenzentrum - Rechenzentrum CD
Fax - Ruido de Fondo CD
Studio Pankow - Linienbusse CD
Joel Tammik - Eluline CD
-
at risk of loosin potential customers - yes it is!
The Journey Man. cool to see you dig some Databloem releases. they're name is not common around here but something I think would appeal to some chill/ambient/whatever lovers.
I have Waki - "Music for Waki People" it's really nice. you know you can get it at http://www.shopsonic.com ? if I remember right they have it at a good price.
been thinking about gettin that Off the Sky CD myself. maybe next order at shopsonic, who knows.

Kaito - Hundred Million Light Years
I am so excited about this release. Kompakt usually release good stuff, and telling by the reviews this is something I will dig.
http://www.forcedexposure.com :
"This is Tokyo-based Hiroshi Watanabe's third full-length CD on Kompakt. Ever since his debut 12" Beautiful Day, Kaito remains one of Kompakt's fan favorites. The maestro of nu-trance brilliance and cosmic kitsch returns with an album of beautiful, euphoric cadence. Hundred Million Light Years is the story of a man who left the earth to return to a universe of expressive, unrestrained music that fully embraces classic '90s trance euphoria and Kompakt's trademark minimal style. As we celebrate his eighth release for Kompakt, it seamlessly connects to the history of his predecessors. This is the dream-filled sound of one thousand and one flying sound carpets. Flickering flutes and jubilating bells. Pulsing melodicism that lifts to the stratosphere. It's music-become-feeling and MDMA to the ears."
"Trance. Huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..." Not our words you understand, but those of the late Mr Edwin Starr (kind of) - expressing a sentiment that has undoubtedly been resident in all our minds over the past decade. Well here's one for you; what if trance ditched it's Day-Glo image and put out a record that was actually quite good? The latest emission from Kaito's (aka Hiroshi Watanabe) tenure over at Kompakt, 'Hundred Million Light Years' takes the raw components of trance then mixes in a fizzing vial of dubby-fingered house - the result being very similar to The MFA, with a firm understanding of what constitutes the prime-cuts of a lack-lustre genre. Opening through the incendiary couplet of 'Color Of Feels' and 'Natural Source', it's easy to see why Watanabe is one of Japan's bestselling dance artists - combining the kind of insolent attitude to what should and shouldn't work (see Susumu Yokota's none-flouncy output for homework), with the kind of crowd-pleasing bluster that makes for a bloody-good listen. Closer to Underworld than the gurning-shite which clogs up the genre, tracks like 'Nobody Could Be Alone' and 'Your Brilliant Flowers' bring a real warmth to an otherwise charmless musical strain; with genuine euphoria wrought from the outwardly sterile components. Belying his slew of pseudonyms (Tread, Quadra, Nite System) through a willingness to have a dabble, Kaito has managed to fashion a 'file under Trance' record that doesn't need the bin, though if the mood takes you just might find yourself wanting to chuck it out the window.

-
oh poor guy, he's "100% Positive"... I'd buy it off to support his hospital bills
-
I ordered some stuff only a week ago, and it's already itchin in my order-trigga-fingah
damn. and this thread ain't makin it easier 
no one wants to trade with me so I can get some new stuff? hey, I just added 'Soup' to my list, yummy yummy 
-
on a second thought, is Soup really IDM? it doesn't have that (seemingly) randomish feelin to that other IDM albums have. there is a harshness to their sound though that they got in common.
I think the other albums are typicly IDM-ish, except Björk maybe that may be more like "glitch" or whatever but it's close enough. I'm still not sure about Soup...
