Guest guy Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 you better check out shulman - in search of a meaningful moment if you dont know it. its an absolute masterpiece of true psychedelic downtempo music. http://www.discogs.com/release/236012 samples http://www.shulman.info/ISOAMM.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Towelie Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 hmm i dont understand whats the hassle about the shulman.. i think its nothing but clishees and shpongle copying .... this is my opinion only ofcourse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike D Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Greab most the albums from Ultimae records, Dakini Records (and the compilations) and Interchill records... oh and chuck in the Chillosophy compilations from DigitalStrcutures... Shulman does make great music, but is the only psy ambient artitst whose album gives me a splitting headache listening to ti in 1 go... a must have is the 2 cd version of Ishq - "Orchid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hels Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I must say, after listening to Shulman a lot more, that he is quite good...not so much a Shpongle rip off as he appears to be at first...still not quite as good I'd say but still worth your time I think...

Guest guy Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 i can hardly see any connection between shulman and shpongle. while the first is very deep and truly psychedelic the latter is "psychedelic" pop music for kids (im talking about the second shpongle, the first is infact an excellent CD), and its full of rip offs of almost every musician that ever existed! (and im not talking inspiration here...) and complete sample cds dumped inside as is. but then again nothing much to expect from a scene that worships lame ass "musicians" like skazi and his army of moronic clones, hehehehe. lets discuss this again in couple of years.... see how every one changes when they grow up, and what kind of music they start to appreciate once they passed the phaze of enjoying the same arrpegiated synth lines for the 100034000434 time, and start looking for some truly original and inspiring music. which takes you to places all the above is my private opinion only!! so no flaming please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grahf Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 shulman and shpongle are both good! there is room enough in my cd binder for both. back to the subject at hand... both mystery of the yeti compilations are amazing. so is infinity project - mystical experiences. future sound of london - lifeforms global communication - 76:41 spacetime continuum - sea biscuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Towelie Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 i mean also other simon postfords music.. just listen the track Nomads of dub - Spirals.. shulman is not the worst artist but after listening few mins it all sounds like big clishee.. in my ears Jairamji - kindred spirits is one of my favs and wait for the hi-fi companions album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grahf Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 it's very interesting... for me, entheogenic has become more and more shallow and formulaic as i have listened more carefully, whereas shulman offers new delights everytime and is gaining serious sentimental value to me. to each his own i guess. oh, i must mention Banco de Gaia as well. and The Orb.

Guest Eric Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 To me Entheogenic is the best of the lot. The second Shpongle album was just terrible. Too much copy and past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Towelie Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 i liked the second shpongle but theres just so many samples so it kills it.. and they are not even mentioned in the cd covers.. like the intro of around the world in tea daze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bazooko Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 my favorite chill out track atm is "asura - le vol d'icare" i can see the sun rise when i hear this song:> also have to second that "the orb" recommendation, some trippy stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest acid enema Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 In my opiion if you have to ask this question you have no place playing in a chill out room and taking the place of someone who really cares about the chilled side of psychedelic music.

Cinos Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I'll just have to say that "guy", post 8 I believe, is just stupid. Shpongle, kids music? You just can't understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Steve Roach & Vir Unis - Blood Machine Vir Unis - Pulse N Atmo Vir Unis & Saul Stokes - Thermal Transfer These futuristic, highly rhythmic ambient albums blow away everything mentioned in this thread. Well, at least Blood Machine, which might be the best electronic album ever... to my taste anyway. Definately has a psychedelic touch. Might appeal to psy fans. Listen with headphones and lose your head. Awesome soundscapes. Awesome, original electronic rhythms. AMAZING production quality. this is just my opinion of course, and it is honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might appeal to psy fans. 202092[/snapback] Agreed - I just mentioned this in another thread. I think "Blood Machine" and Steve's solo effort "Core" are absolutely outstanding. In terms of depth, musicianship and sheer quality they make anything from the psy-ambient camp seem clumsy, cliché and amateuristic. Now I *do* enjoy a fair bit of psy-ambient though, but Steve Roach is probably my second favourite artist of all time and even someone as undoubtedly talanted as Simon Posford cannot make music that gets me as much as mr Roach. But to each his own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 The thing with a lot of ambient related to the psy scene is, that it tries too hard to be something ... it is like a 'forced' mix of too much different sounds, melodies, samples and effects and all kinds of meaningless details... but in the end, if you can see (or better: hear) through it, there's actually little musical substance. While the music by Roach mentioned, is like one smooth, organic, evolving flow of... greatness The repetitive, slowly evolving nature of the music let's you completely drift away. It only uses original sounds that actually fit together, created by the artists themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice, but not psychedelic at all, though relaxing. But I largely prefer Entheogenic and Sphongle. Maybe I just got the wrong album.

Steve has a very disctinct sound, but he uses it very differently from release to release. Try "Core" or "Blood Machine" mentioned earlier in this thread and you're in for much more of a journey.
