Best mixes found online and no links? Typical lazy neo-fullon lovers behaviour!

I believe Son Kite are doing it the same way.

This is a quote from a Quirk interview from 1998. They're talking about their masterpiece debut album: "With a lot of trance albums simply a collection of full-on tunes with a short shelf life, Mark and Tim aimed to create a package that wouldn't be disposable, something from which different parts would stand out the more it got listened to. "We wanted people to find reference in it at different times over as long a period as possible, so that it's not just a throw-away as a record," says Tim. "The problem with an artist album where you have, say, nine high-quality but quite similar-sounding dance tracks one after another is that most people find their favorites ones, listen to them a few times, and then that's the end of that. With DJs, it's worse, it goes out of their record box after a couple of months." The answer to that problem was to experiment with as many possible styles within the parameters of electronic dance music that they could. And this they have done." I found it funny how the first couple of sentences of the quote is relevant even today, might put things in perspective. The rest of the interview: http://www.markainley.com/music/electronic...hive/quirk.html If you haven't heard their debut album, you need to look it up, it's an essential journey album.

I'm adding two 2006 releases to the list: Nuclear Ramjet - Mission To Sedna Triac - Mean Between

Another ape project: http://www.greatapeproject.org/

Process is one of my favorite artists. His album One Drop or Two? is a psychedelic classic, sadly unknown to many. His collaboration with Simon Posford as Beast is to date one of the best collaborations within our scene.

According to the cover Appletree In My Backyard is an Abakus remix.

Christer seriously needs our help! So far there have been reports that he has been woken up by Beatles and Abba. I'm adding The Irresistible Force It's Tomorrow Already and Interchills Floatation compilation.

Well, you can download it from there, but you could always try: http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&q=Ex...3%B6k&meta=

I want Talpa rumours! His website hasn't been updated in years. :-(

Cosma - Floppy

Newbie

Extrawelt - Dasding Plattenleger Live

I wouldn't normally recommend a YSE compilation, but this is seriously a great compilation if you dig Extrawelt and related sounds: http://www.discogs.com/release/819346 The compilation features three Extrawelt tracks. Besides those there are some really excellent tracks by well known acts such as: MFA, Trentemoller, Fuzzion, Paul Kalkbrenner, Booka Shade etc.

Seems like someone just decided to play the Shpongle track on top of that video because you can hear other music in the background from the video.

Thanks :-)

I spoke to some random guy at a party. He said he liked the new Pleiadians album. I said I doubted anyone could like it. He then started to cry softly and confessed that he only said he liked it because he thought it would make him popular. I let him listen to the original Vimana tune, and he cried even more. How could something as complex as Vimana be reduced to something as lame as Vimana Part 2, he said, looking at the stars above us. I told him about the difference between LSD and Cocaine. He then realised that all matter is just energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves. Moral of the story? It's a new Pleiadians album but noone cares because it hurts too much.

CPC Project has released a new album, Double Boube! Samples: CPC Project @ Psyshop CPC Project @ Saiko Sounds Judging by the samples it sounds like the best dark album since Psykovsky's Debut.

Some new and really good looking covers:

Tonight Sweden's first astronaut, Christer Fuglesang, will be sent to space, and we are all very excited. If you were to give Christer three albums to listen to while in space, which would they be? :-) Mine would be: Shpongle - Are You Shpongled? Pleiadians - I.F.O. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew

You're the man! I prefer recently-released-good-tunes over recycled-ethnic-sample-cd-tunes.

It has been a long time since Liquid Sound Design released a compilation and an even longer time since they released an excellent compilation. Acoording to their website there is an upcoming compilation called Illuminations but that is all the information there is. Saiko Sounds has set the release date to the 24th of November but as far as I can recall the release dates they set cannot be trusted. So what's happening? When will their new compilation be released?

I was listening to an old favourite of mine, Odds' Flying To The Sky, and it struck me how UX like it was. So I visited Discogs and it turned out there's an Odds collaboration album called X-Plore Sybernetic Concept "Finger's Memories" (terrible name). Among the tracks there are two collaboration tracks with Kris Kylven (!) but none of them are Flying To The Sky. Both the tracks, O.W.U. and Skrull, had previously been released as an EP on an unknown label called X-Plore Records. The EP only gives credit to Odds, no mention of Kris Kylven. Flying To The Sky was their only hit and one of the earliest Flying Rhino releases (1995, ZFR 004) and the track is only credited to Odds (C. Graphinet & B. El Metoui) but to my ears there's a clear UX feeling all over that track, so what's the story? Was Kris Kylven involved but not credited as with their other EP? Has anyone heard their collaborations album? What's it like? Odds @ Discogs

From the Native State Records newsletter: Native State proudly presents Outlines, the highly anticipated full-length album from Shen. Taken from the arcane Taoist term for 'refined energy' or 'depth', Shen is Noah Pred's outlet for low-tempo explorations of forward-thinking computer music. Drawing inspiration from geomancy and botanical architecture, Shen dives deep into forward-thinking electronic dub and downtempo. His music takes advantage of cutting-edge digital technologies while retaining an analog warmth and character through exquisite chords, textures, and atmospheres.
