Alienapia - Goapocalipsis http://www.arabesquedistribution.com//index.php?option=com_artistavenue&task=singleCd&id=2159&Itemid=99999999

Filteria - Earthrise

You have too much time on your hands...

What about the Spirit Medicine tracks? That sounds very much like in the same spirit as Alienapia tracks, maybe a bit slower (at least the Terra Interna). http://www.saikosounds.com/english/show_artist.asp?artist_id=10927 I really like the style these two artists portray(Forest Goa it is?), there should be more of it.

Yes I know of Ka-Sol and the Suntrip release is so very awesome. I've heard the previous Alienapia tracks already. Thanks for the suggestion anyhoo While I agree it has a reminiscence of full-on, I just don't find it to be full-on at all. The comp you mentioned, that's full-on. And I didn't like any of the tracks, at all. It's the utterly random electronic rattling sounds and the basslines that are unbearable to me. Alienapia sounds different. It ain't just full-on.. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbg_hQoFv4 http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ybdcWsP_w Maybe I picked the wrong track for OP?

Well, I've never heard of "Forest-Goa" before heh. Thanks for the replies and I'm glad I could make few of you notice this comp, it's really good.

How long did it take for you guys to notice that? Right from the first promo texts it was obvious the plot was going to follow the same path lol...

Just looking at the tracklist I can safely it has absolutely nothing to do with the previous ones. What a bunch of fucks for having the guts to release on that name.

http://www.saikosounds.com/English/display_release.asp?id=8237 Alienapia, it's like a bit of goa a bit of darkpsy(?).. I have no idea what could I call it, but I know I want more of it.

I think you're balls crazy. Square CGI is far cry from Avatar's chime at realism. Square's CGI is more 3D-anime than a try at photorealism and anime style is where they succeed. I don't think the two CGI styles are comparable in any way. Even at a technical level, they both have different goals. Now I don't know what version you saw, but the Na'vi looked very convincing in 3D and everything else looked freaking awesome too. Better than what I have previously seen and trust me, I love this sort of stuff. Seriously, saying Avatar's CGI is shit and comparable to 'poor disney graphics' sounds like trolling. Not to mention when you were talking about FF CGI, if you meant Spirits Within's CGI... Good god man.

Truth to be told, it looked interesting, but downtempo releases come to me most often as quite boring and just bad, so I didn't give it a chance. Now after your post I actually did go ahead and download it and... This is so freaking good. Reminds me of the days I listened to Yimino a lot..

Just buy it and you'll see.. 6 euros is worth a blind buy for something like this imo.

Suntrippers are superstitious(Unlucky number 13). That's about it.

Happy new yearrrr ??? I won't be here in 2 weeks so you can just tell me now

Thanks for making this review! I was starting to wonder what's with noone making it for it but I guess it's the same as for me, too lazy.. Anyway this compilation is just plain fantastic. Tracklist is full of best new school artists, not to mention Agnetons best track to date can be found on this comp.

Oh gawd

Some of those tracks are really moody and emotional. I really like this.

K.O.B. - Multiple Disorder Incredible.

Hmm, no. Not yet, at least.

Well this thread is old. Albums either taking a while to make or nothing is even happening.

In Suspense is incredible! The tracks in this comp are freaking good, but somethings off with the quality..

I forgot to comment on this. Interstellar Hymn kicks ass.

K.O.B. - Weight Of Oblivion (Filteria Ambient Remix) 8:31 We have our first Digital Only Suntrip album right here. Remixes and Unreleased was originally meant to be released on another digital distribution site, but problems occurred and it never happened. Now that Suntrip has finally their own shop, this was made possible. I'm not sure if I had anything to do with this because I actually asked about this around E-mantra's release and lo-and-behold, it actually finally happened! So how is this much-wanted Filteria album? Does it meet the expectations or fall short of them? Filteria - Operation Mind Expansion We start off with a remix of two tracks together meant for Live sessions. Operation Pulse and Mind Expansion respectfully. Those two tracks together plus tons and tons of small and big details everywhere. This track already shows that Jannis likes to go wild with his live performances. There’s not a single second savoured here. If you liked the two tracks separately, you’re gonna love this one, if not, you still might like it a lot. There’s a lot of same elements, but the new stuff thrown in, I.E. the melody at 2:45 is an obvious remix of the melody heard in Mind Expansion, but it’s far from the old version. There’s more playfulness in it. And so on. Great stuff. Filteria - Latch Finally we get some new-old material. This track is an unheard one, not a remix! And this is exactly why I wanted this album to be released. I love the old Filteria stuff, like you can see my rambling about it in my Filteria reviews. Latch is a really really interesting take for Filteria, it sounds awesomely old school with it’s synths, effects and some melodies, but it’s more playful than what you ’d hear in -97 tracks. Also has this haunting ambient throughout. This track plays around with the stereo space it’s given. A ton of left to rightwork here and it’s fucking awesome! It makes the track immensely interesting and fun to listen to. The pinnacle of what’s so 'trucking awesome' is the sample that says (spoiler) I see spacewalkers and moonwalkers and earth orbiters galore Snip@2:20 and goes left right left right. This is gold honestly, it's so fitting and deep how it's incorporated. It may not sounds like it's a new thing, but the way it actually does sound makes it feel like it's a new idea. This track also just keeps on adding more at every corner, breakpoint comes, it differentiates from the previous part starts of slow, but eventually you have more layers than before the end of last breakpoint. One thing I found was that the melody segment at the end has a small reminiscent from a melody part in Galactic Rays. Awesome track! Should have been released a long time ago! Filteria - Poem Ahh! Another old unheard track! Starts with epic, epic Filteria style spacey location, gives us a sample about woman going on about something about war and songs, it’s a good interlude sample that much I can say. We get a kick and some effects in the background and submelody, 0:54 and here we go, yeah a new Old-Filteria melody! Frantic very, very driving melody. You get your usual Filteria add-on details going with it, 2:18 first breakpoint 2:28 melody is back, more layers continue to grow, a background ambient appears, and it’s beautiful spacey ambient. Soft transparent synth continues to harass throughout. 3:20 comes and the melody just takes a new playful road, it’s so danceable and smile-inducing. Love it. 4:18 Melody stops and we’re greeted again by the background ambient more on the front than the back. 4:40 breakpoint kick stops and 4:50 we get epic background melody 5:10 we get a new melody on the front plane. Well I’m not carry on with this second to second review anymore because I was actually just carried away by the amount of changes and details going on and how awesome they are. The rest of the track follows the same patch, just injects more epicness at every turn! Fantastic track - Old-Filteria lovers are gonna fall in love again. This track has charm! Filteria - Speech Module (Filteria Remix) A remix of one of my most memorable tracks from Heliopolis *robotic voice* "Speech Module". This version isn't all that different from the original when compared to the other remixes on this album. It's changes up the original track more subtly and tries to make it sound more deep. Again the original version was so very in your face but here the same segments seem darker and deeper and some parts have been given the twisted knob treatment. This version is just much more darker than the original version. Whether you think this remix is superior to the original or not solely depends on which style you like more. That means the remix has accomplished at what it, assumingly, tried to do. A good remix. Filteria - Rotate To Vibrate (Ze Remix) The magical ambient from the original version starts of the 3rd remix from this album. Now you may ask, is it even possible to top the original of this, which is the pinnacle track from Heliopolis? Maybe? Again the remix just makes the original version much more playful. And that isn't bad my friends. This track is pumping the crazy melodies from Rotate To Vibrate in your face. Another class act remix with a bit of a surprising ending - Love that twist on the melody! Those who loved Rotate To Vibrate will surely love this one. Great remix. Filteria - Unfiltered (Sun Remix) I don't know how else to put it but this track feels like it's Unfiltered (Moon Remix). . . inwards. Many of the effects, melodies and even the kick feels like it's inwards. It's odd to hear the track like this when you've heard the other version tons and tons of times. Some people may even prefer this version over the Moon Remix, but I personally find it quite a weird remix. Not a favourite, I prefer the Moon Remix over this one. Filteria - Reflected (Blinded Remix) Following the lines of the earlier remixes, this one does nothing out of the ordinary. It's Reflected with a new way more playful composition. Also throws in these wet acid style layers on the melodies that weren't there in the original. Quite an interesting choice, though probably my least favourite track on this album next to Unfiltered (Sun Remix). Filteria - Total Planetary Being (Filteria Remix) Sky Input-era is very present on this track again. Starts with this crystallic/mirror sound, muddy acid in the background and gives us a really muddy driving bassline @ 0:17. Small details carry with it till 1:20 where we get our first melody. It's nothing you wouldn't expect, fast Filteria-esque synth melody. From there on it keeps on giving you more and more at intervals of a minute or two. This keeps going till 6:28 where we get a breakpoint and at 6:38 we get this new really alien sound and an intense synth comes on top of it. This part keeps on going, while adding a little again on short intervals till 9:14 where it all tones down to a new break and then keeps growing to the last climax. Solid new-old-school Filteria track. Wish there were more! K.O.B. - Multiple Disorder (Filteria Remix) We finally get our first K.O.B. offerings here, as everyone is, or should, be aware of, K.O.B. (Kind Of Behaviour) is Filteria’s more wacky, playful side project. Might remind some people of Green Nuns Of The Revolution but with Filteria style. Multiple Disorder starts with these hallucinogen style mixed to hell and back voice sounds, some revving sounds and then a kick comes. A lot of really funky sounds flying everywhere, few sounds straight from cartoons. Just to give you an idea how funky it is. The track keeps progressing, giving breakpoints and then inducing more layers and so on, but good god what has Jannis done? You will not see it coming, you can’t, it’s impossible to see it coming. -- Don’t read further if you want to experience it yourself, and trust me, you’re going to want to do just that. – Jesus fucking shit 3:43 gives us the most epic insane melody EVER. FUCK. It comes out of nowhere and just gets in your face without a warning. The melody is just incredible, same quality as Earthrises climax melody, it’s awe-inspiring beautiful work of art. And it only lasts till 4:23. I think Jannis realized how good it was and wanted to savor it so it doesn’t get old with every listen. It comes like an orgasm, it feels perfect for a brief moment and leaves you with a lasting good feeling(Can someone suggest me a better metaphor? : D). Brilliant. The rest that follows after that 4:23 takes a piece of that melody and the previous wackyness and gives us more power. It stays up a while then it tones it down until 6:00 which brings it back with more force and this really twisted melody mixed with the last one. 7:18 brings it back to pre-3:43 and slows things down till the end. This track is magnificent one of the best things Jannis has ever done. Brilliant work with the melody segment at 3:43, just brilliant. K.O.B. - Weight Of Oblivion (Filteria Ambient Remix) The ambient remix of the original Weight Of Oblivion (Feat. Klara Steiner) that appeared on Suntrips V/A - Twist Dreams. If you've heard the original version, you're going to know what basically to expect. The same sad/dark ambient in the original is at it's finest here and the woman sample is still here. It seems as if the same kind of effects are here like in the original but made into a downtempo version, they're more minimalistic like you'd expect. The melody, sample, beat is all very slow, yet driving. This is the finest downtempo work Jannis has been involved in. It is the sad, dark and a little mysterious ambient/mood that lifts this track above a lot of other ambient for me. This is a very interesting work to listen to and extremely gripping. This is the quality that I would like to see Jannis maintain whenever he's working on downtempo/ambient. An extremely good piece. Honestly if all future K.O.B. tracks would have the quality of the last two tracks on this release, a whole album of them would be groundbreaking. Needless to say my expectations were met well. This Remixes and Unreleased album is meant for the fans of Filteria, especially those that love the older Filteria. So, if you're a fan, or just like Filteria this album is essential. If you liked daze but never really got into the old Filteria material, this might not be for you, but it's not completely the same. The new tracks here are different from the old one's, they have a more experimental, playful sound to them. And at a price of 6 euros, it's a no brainer. Get it here. http://www.suntriprecords.com/shop/item/SUNDG01/ This review is best read with the "blue darkness" forum skin option.

Old school spirit to be found here!! Awesome tracks! Surprise of the year no doubt! By the way soundmute, it'd be nice if you'd include the cover and places where you can purchase this album on your post.
