  1. It's by far the worst remix of that particular track, and it's worse than the original. I don't appreciate that much at all.
  2. No man that's my musik :clapping: hehe
  3. Yeah nothing to surprising, great stuff. Also nice to see that mystical sun made it into the list, since it was a great album kinda overlooked by many.
  4. Put it on piratebay so I can download it.
  5. Look man, how long should you wait to review? One day, one week, one month, one year? I'm not an expert and yes I agree that these reviews are a bit early But what the heck, I'd personally would like to wait maybe 6 months to really let the album grow on me. But it's always that you have to get it out there, but yes I think that at least one or two weeks would be more appropriate. Then there is the urge of being the first. But for example the I Awake album took me a long time to realize it's greatness.
  6. Strangely this didn't surprise me at all, I actually also liked some their tracks strongly
  7. Actually I think this resembles Antiloop somewhat, sure it's hollow and bad. BUt somehow in it's genre I think it's good and kinda good produced.

  9. Been lsitening more to samples and this is really great, I just love the sound of it. The overall feel, I haven't bought an uptempo album in a while now this might be it!
  10. H.U.V.A Network Ephemeris Ultimae Records 2009 Tracklist: 1 Dissolving Time (6:39) 2 .Blank (8:48) 3 Orientations Part 1 (Above Towns Edit) (9:07) 4 Orientations Part 2 (Ephemeride 15.43°) (7:47) 5 Orientations Part 3 (Uncertainty Principle) (8:44) 6 Cobalt (6:42) 7 Fade Away (6:18) 8 Diagrams (7:28) 9 Something Heavens (6:42) 10 Saturday Barbecue With New Neighbours (2:43) Review: Ephemeris, the second installment of duo Vincent Villuis and Magnus Birgersson aka H.U.V.A Network (H.U.V.A stands for Humans Under Visual Atmospheres). The first album Distances was a great album, combining Aes Danas hypnotic slow morning trance with Solar Fields clever use of tickling sounds. To me the first album has some too many tracks that were a little bight too uptempo, so I had a hard time appreciating it to the fullest. Ephemeris builds on the same formula but it feels more mature, more mellow and made with more confidence. The opening track Dissolving Time is towards you're typical Aes Dana track, and with not so much going on really except the heavy bassline rolling you forward, the hypnotic element is, as it is on the whole album present here, on good and bad. Either you like it or you don't. I for one is appreciating it much more than I did on the last album. But moving on to the next track Blank things start directly to get more interesting, with acoustic elements that to my ear must be an element contributed by Magnus. The Aes Dana and Solar Fields elements really seem to fit together in a stronger symbiosis on Ephemeris than on Distances. It is important to notice that H.U.V.A Network has always been towards the more progressive side of things, depth with multi layers is not what the artists clearly are after. It is a hypnotic ride, with tickling sounds. Orientations (above towns edit) has great elements in it making you feel going backwards in time, you'll know what I mean when you hear it. This track becomes great towards the middle and end where alienatic sounds, and lovely use of vocals are mixed together with the lovely bassline, just to end in a very desolate feeling, but you are quickly grabbed up by some high frequency comforting sounds into Orientations Part 2, which starts off very slow letting you breath and relax for a while until about half the tracklength when things start to spice up again. This change of pace is good and keep the listener interested and curious with expectations of what is next to come. Ephemeris is clearly flirting with ”true” beatless ambient here, and it's very nice to have that element. We move on to Orientations Part 3 which features a bassline that very much resembles the beating of a heart, and it's really hard not to just let yourself fade away. Cobalt is obviously the most uptempo track on this album. And it's really awesome. It for some reason reminds me of some of Bluetech's works. It's really uplifting and fresh and sounds to me like a track where Vincent and Magnus just nailed it, the perfect mix between the two. It is a cocky track, but so masterfully produced it won't fall short. I'd love to hear more of this type of sound from either H.U.V.A Network, Aes Dana or Solar Field in the future. Fade Away continuous in the same direction with a faster bassline, and transcending into Diagrams that has some of the underlying elements of the previous track making it a sister track. The track Something Heavens is great at first, reallly lovely, and you instantly get the feel as it is building up for something, a climax a burst of energy. The problem is that it never occurs, having expected this climax and being let down makes it really sadly fall short. It's a great song it's just the problem of giving expectations of something and not fulfilling those makes it as the whole track is ruined. To make a stupid comparison, think of when you are really hungry and acing for a big fat juicy pizza. You order it with extra bernaise and all that, it tastes lovely at start then you become full of it and you feel the pizza wasn't even tasty to start with. This happens at approx 4.25, something starts then it reaches a certain level, I think it's going to go higher and higher but it just stops and stays there. A great album indeed, though I find myself sometimes while listening, getting tired of a some kind of repetitve feel. Highly subjective of course (as the whole review). The whole album has a melancholic touch to it, though still while maintaining a sense of beautifully crafted soundscapes, and a sense of hope and progress towards something good and great. All in all a great album, if you like Aes Dana , Solar Fields, Ultimae music in general or even just psychedelic downtempo in general you won't go wrong with this release. And it's also worth taking into account that music has it's own purposes for different situations. The appreciation of an album lies in what mood you are and if that mood fits the music. I can imagine that this album is lovely when in a deep meditative state, that's where it's really going to shine. Also great music takes time to digest.
