Awesome album. Best thing since "Last Train To Lhasa", IMHO.

There seems to be a lot of love for Erta Ale on this thread, but for me it's a great album ruined by the vocal samples. I find some of the tracks almost unlistenable - which is a shame, because the music is top-drawer.

Sounds like a winner! Will buy this release for sure!

Great stuff! Love this album!

There's some good psytrance coming out of the US (albeit mainly of the darker variety) from the likes of Dragon , Ghreg On Earth & Mubali. This site has some info on North American Psy: http://dharmaharmony.com/about.html

Another vote for Amber.

I'm half way through this at the moment. It's a scholarly study and therefore, the vocabulary can be quite hard-going, but nevertheless, it's a good read and contains much information on various aspects of the music and scene. Well recommended so far.

I've still got that Video! It's an absolute classic!

O.K. I was exaggerating a little. But some of their "music" is like an abstract painting in sound form and you have to concentrate hard to make anything of it. Not saying that's a bad thing, but I have to be in exactly the right mood to appreciate it.

I'm a big Autechre fan and have seen them live a few times. I certainly love the first two albums most! Some of the later stuff is really hard work and I have to be in just the right frame of mind to sit through it. Their last two albums though, have at least a nod towards recognisable time signatures and even a little melody! (Not quite back to the good old days, but a start!)

Looks promising!

Too hard to pick just one, but Crossing Mind and Mindsphere's albums are the best I've heard for a while.

Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum section. I bought this CD on release and was just adding my opinion to comments made. Feel free to delete my post if you think it inappropriate for here.

Sounding good!

Can't wait for this one!

Awesome album!

I like it in small doses, but there is just no let up in the bombardment of O.T.T. melodies, the tracks have no space to breathe. Gets a bit wearing after a while, same as Goalien's album,( IMHO, obviously!). Guess I'm not a big fan of the Nitzho style.

Result!
