@Antares - Glad you're enjoying it!
@mak & anub1s - I deliberately excluded those tracks from the album, because I feel they aren't up to the same standard as the rest of the tracks. I'm sure if you google those tracks you'll be able to find them.
I'll consider throwing them in with the rest, though. Wave files to a few of the tracks are in the pipeline. I'll update the original post with some additional links once they're ready.

A zip file with 192kbps versions of all the tracks can be found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/153017536/Psyl...i_1997-2003.zip
@mak & AlieNed - I lost the sourcefiles to many of these tracks years ago in a harddrive crash. All I was left with were backed up mp3 versions of the tracks. I still have a couple of the tracks as wavefiles and I'll see about throwing those up on rapidshare as a either wave or flac.
@N-Joi & Anub1s - Thanks for listening!
@Cosmogenesis - Thanks a bunch for the words of encouragement! They are a source of inspiration!

@Anoebis - That's great to hear Anoebis. Someone told me once that they've heard a track of mine in a set you made available online. I thought that was very cool. Thanks! I'll definitely keep you in mind if I ever get around to making some goatrance again. I have several stranded tracks which I've never been able to see through due to lack of time or other projects with a higher priority. Perhaps it's time to review my priorities.
@Gargouille - Thanks!
@Isao - Apparently Last.fm converted the files I uploaded to 128kbps. They used to be 192kbps which sort of makes a difference. Most of the tracks, however, are recovered from old and dusty mp3s, so the soundquality sucks to begin with. I'll see about uploading a zipfile with the 192kbps versions one of these days. That is, if you're interested?

@ Agneton & U.F.Orb - Good to hear it's worth a listen after all those years. Thanks!

To whomever it may be of interest, I recently uploaded a free album entitled 1997-2003 to Last.fm. It's a collection of some of my old tracks under the alias Psylent Buddhi. A few of the tracks have never been released before, but mostly it's just old tracks stemming from the traxinspace.com days of the late nineties.
A word of caution: A lot of the tracks were recovered from ancient and noisy mp3s, so the soundquality lacks in a lot of places. If you're interested, please read the associated blog post and the 'About this album" wiki entry on the Last.fm album page, which contain some trivia concerning this album.
All tracks stored on one (or possibly more) of Last.fm's undoubtedly many servers. Links galore:
1. Sonorush
2. Lunar Core
3. Moksha
4. Neura
7. Metalucid
8. Retrocede
10. Winter Tickle
If the downloads don't work, try visiting the Last.fm album page and download from there. From there you can also preview and stream the tracks to find out whether or not this is worth the time and effort to download.
If possible, enjoy!

Damn! I want to download this but I can't get the page to load. Must try later, looks well interesting.
Hmm, the downloads should work! Have you tried the ones from Last.FM? They link directly to the mp3.
-
Thanks a million everyone! I'm excited to see that this album fares well. I really wasn't expecting that.
-
i better grab those wavs before you get yourself record deal and they are still online
what instruments/synths did you use in this album?
Hehe, don't worry. They won't disappear in the near future.
It's virtually all done in Reason (version 3 and 4), apart from some loops that were extracted, chopped and manipulated in Recycle and Soundforge.

If you want some more attention, you could post this on the hypnos forum.
It was reset some time ago and might appear a little inactive, but quite some artists, reviewers and other enthusiasts from the (American) ambient scene post(ed) there including Vir Unis, Numina, The Circular Ruins, Robert Rich.
Thanks for the tip, Bahamut. Perhaps I should do that. I'm actually familiar with the forum. I used to go by the name kawera on the old forum, and incidentally also on the new forum.
@ strydr, wavs can be found on rapidshare.com in 16bit 44.1kHz quality. All files compressed using Winrar.
-
really really good stuff!! should be released on one of the more prominent ambient labels.
thanks,
klaus
Thank you very much!

Ok, first of all, this is...
AWESOME
The best ambient from a non-signed-artist(?) I have ever heard, anywhere.
The track Life's Bubbling is just SUPER.
Your music could be released on Atmoworks or Databloem or something right away. And that would be my only criticism as well: It is so well done and fits in too easy among the artists/albums/labels of this type of music. Maybe it lacks something unique that could seperate it from them. You could have fooled me easily if you had posted for example tracks 2 and 5 as unreleased Vir Unis tracks.
Wow, thank you very much for your kind words, Bahamut! I am unsigned (you may have heard a track or two by my psytrance moniker Psylent Buddhi) and will probably stay that way, as I'm much too unrealiable in terms of my output.
I'm happy to hear you like Life's Bubbling. That's my own personal favorite!
As for your criticism, I totally agree. This album does indeed have a mundane ambient/spacemusic quality to it. But I just love the genre too much to venture outside the conventions.

Hey there everybody,
Just finished this ambient/spacemusic album. If you're into Steve Roach, Vir Unis or Saul Stokes, you might find this vaguely interesting. The album is modelled after albums like Blood Machine and Thermal Transfer (only not that great by a long shot), so it's a mixture of beatless ambient and rapid, electronic percussion with pads on top.

It's hard to pick just one favourite. Those mentioned in the poll are all good, but in recent years I've really been enjoying Thom Brennan and Off The Sky. Brennan produces some of the most dreamy and airy ambient you'll ever find. Off The Sky's later albums are glitchy (and equally superb), but Cold Distances is a tour de force in "biosphere'esque" icy drones.

Well, Reason will accept (and record) automation data on multiple tracks at the same time, but only one instrument can be played at a time.

Listening to this album today, roughly nine years after its initial release, makes me wonder how it's possible to conjure up an album of such vision? It was not only pushing the envelope on the psychedelic trance scene when it came out, but it's becoming increasingly evident as the years pass by that it set new standards across the entire spectrum of electronic music.
I just dusted off this album after a couple of years of rest on my shelves, and what a wonderful listen it is! Too bad Koxbox never regained their strength after Dragon Tales. Although they came close, I doubt anything will ever recapture the spirit of these surreal and beautiful electronic soundscapes.
Ahh, wonderful stuff, just wonderful...

I just noticed this thread is still alive. Thanks to all for the comments. To be honest I'm a bit baffled by the response to these old tracks, but nonetheless happy to hear that it's of value to a few people.
No, despite it's many appealing features, I never gave Buzz a shot. Most of these tracks are produced using Impulse Tracker, Rebirth, Dreamstation, Soundforge and Acid Music (for sequencing). Back then I usually created a lot of different loops and elements in IT, Rebirth and Dreamstation, used Soundforge for some basic manipulation and tweaking, and then assembled everything in Acid. It sounds tedious, but in reality it wasn't. I was so familiar with those tools that everything just flowed along nicely - notwithstanding IT's tendency to calculate BPM in a totally unique and inconvenient way. :-)
Hehe, I'll tell you what would do me good: if I somehow had all the time in the world! But these days a party sounds like a reasonable compromise.
Thanks again everyone, and sorry about bumping the thread. Just felt the need to express my gratitude.
