Oh this is a very nice tribute. Honestly, maybe it's time you make imba & friends album (with smurfs on the cover) and just have like 7-8 tracks of these types of collaborations and some from the past. It's good stuff.

It should be around 8-11mb usually, but it does tend to dip on some days like this.. this ping is terrible though. ps. Varmaa vaa helsingin alueella tollane diili?

It's a shame we don't really celebrate halloween as hardcore as the states. No kids asking for candy from old men.

Guys, maybe this is a good time to get acquainted with the rules once more. http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=rules&f=105

Hey suntrip. Hey. Hey. Thanks. Oh god. This album. THIS ALBUM.

Time for a review alá penzoline, the reviewer who doesn't review. : [ Filteria - Lost In The Wild 1. Filteroid (Day @ 2 AM) 08:12 2. Dog Days Bliss (Album Edit) 08:51 3. Food Demons (Demon's Head Remix) 07:58 4. Life Never Sleeps 09:09 5. Lost in the Wild 07:50 6. 36th February 08:16 7. The Lights of Shibuya 07:48 8. Night @ 12 PM 07:30 9. Birds Lingva Franca (2013 Edit) 09:03 Filteroid (Day @ 2Am) Incredibly incredilous melodies for the start of the album? Why yes! Massive atmosphere and Filtertraces type bassline leading up into a slowly evolving melody that reaches some fantastic heights during the track. The pacing, level of detailing and evolution is perfect for an introduction track while keeping to the basic sense of force and style that looms from ahead. Often I've noticed some albums start with a high note and go all over the place with the pacing, this, however, just works wonders. Just about everything about it sets the stage perfectly, the leads, the larger than life up-most beautiful melodies and that soft hint of the 3rd album in the details. Hard work of a genius. And to contrast toward the opinion of Jon, I found myself preferring this over Filtertraces, why? Simply because of the forceful nature. Not exactly the inherit quality for comparisons sake, but rather preference. It is wonderful he is trying new things on different albums like this. Something for everyone! Dog Days Bliss (Album Edit) Those horse race melodies, I don't know how you pull of this type of pacing, but goddamn did he do it. Coming from the introduction, the style already jumped from one side to the other, it is far more crazy and loony, but the sounds and melodies give it this sense of imminent urgency. Throughout the track the melodies, sounds fx atmosphere are top notch. It is simply up to the listener to decide the story. And when it climaxes, it just feels like something big is going down - be it two superheroes duking it out in space, galaxies exploding or two massive battlestars on each others, it works. This track feels heavily cinematic! Now that is a feat in of itself, considering the genre and presentation. Food Demons (Demon's Head Remix) Acid. Acid. Acid. The bubbles. The Bubbles. The Bubbles. For the fact it's so filled with those alone is a reason for me to love it, but then you stick in a really eerie atmosphere and you end up with a really twisted spiraling cyberpunk atmosphere - what is this sorcery!? Absolutely crazy and interesting knob twisting, imaginative details at the start and the end and just wonderful sound design. The track is absolutely filled to the brim with wet and interesting acidic sounds, creating sinister and monstrous soundscapes. Personally, I would have wanted to see the atmosphere be even more prevalent throughout, namely the last segments, but the acid and leads carry the whole thing just fine! Did I mention I love this type of acid? Yes? Thanks, Jannis. Life Never Sleeps The pacing feels very Dog Days Bliss like. It also has an over the top feel to it but instead of going maximal epicness it takes more of a step back with growly acid leads, having very cool different segments, eventually leading up to a high pulse race-to-the-finish like climax. Imagine an anime with some sort of a race going where the lead character is fighting to save someone's life. Dramatic, adrenaline filled story-line. I wonder, if he realized the similarity to DDB, or is it just me over thinking it? I do feel like it is a very nice touch, no matter. Lost in the Wild Ok, I will agree with the clutterness of the track, however the main subtle melody, which first appears at 2:54, is seriously incredible. Reminds of the power of Birds Lingva Franca. The track is an insane experiment, if nothing more. The amount of different segments gets extremely high and the only things that really keep the track constant are that melody and the bassline. And oh god that climax melody at 6:37, just out of this world. You can feel the speed, everything just gushing through your brain. 36th February OH MY GOAD. AND THAT CLIMAX. SO MUCH RAW POWAR! RAWR! ROAR! K.O.B. ALBUM PLEASE OH MY GOED. THAT DARK EERIE ATMOSPHERE TOO. Uh, maybe I went a little overboard with the caps.. or maybe.. NOT! HA! In all seriousness this track is a freaking incredible return of the mostly full-on KOB sound - and no not full-on as in the genre, are you crazy! It is loony, maximal, bombastic, detailed to no end. It is awesome! However, I must point out some of the high pitched fx goes a little too loud compared to the melody in many spots. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but it can be very distracting when paying attention to the little things, or even when not. For me this has happened before, particularly on KOB tracks, like the wonderful Multiple Disorder (Filteria Remix). To be fair, they haven't ended up as too much of a detriment the end product, yet. And now that I mentioned Multiple Disorder, take a look at the start of it and 1:08 onwards on 36th February! That cannot be a coincidence! But then again, the amount of that crazy KOB sound in this album is, quite literally, crazy. Maybe it was a sweet middle-ground he found? It really feels like it. The Lights of Shibuya If you read any of the pre-release talk, the artist mentioned this was inspired by a festival in Shibya Japan and, for some reason, it establishes the kind of Japanese atmosphere. Ultra quirky sounds, incredible detailing and strong depth. When the melodies come, it feels like this almost classical approach to goatrance, I can't really explain it otherwise. Especially with the climaxing melody, just absolute blissful joyous crazy melodies that have this weirdly emotional, maybe even angry tone, while warping the rest of the soundscape into a constellation eating black hole is one of the craziest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. I had a similar experience with the previously mentioned KOB track, but this one is even superior. How the hell does he do it? Fucking A. Night @ 12Pm Daze Of Our Lives perfected? The uplifting moments, sounds and direction, very, very reminiscent of Daze, while maintaining all of the improvements you find throughout the album. To point out the most obvious improvement is that the melodies have crossed to the green side of borderline cheesy, instead being that "I don't really know where to go", it is very emotional. Incredible intricacies. And that insane lead at the end is such a perfect touch. Birds Lingva Franca (2013) I hold the original very close to my heart for many reasons and so upon hearing that there would be a remix included, I've thus held my expectations considerably low, because who wants to be disappointed? The intro is extremely nostalgia-provoking, very subtly transitions into BLF. He made sure to update the sounds and segments into the new style really smoothly, which gives it an edge of not becoming a useless exercise, but the increased, even crammed, detailing and less breathing room make the power of the melody suffer heavily. Though it is interesting to hear the improved aspects, like production values, from the original in such a glaring way, unfortunately this has some inherit flaws, namely the lack of space for a heavy melody like BLF's. It's melody can carry a whole track, but at the same time it cannot be carried - I guess that is how I'd put it. I would have preffered an original track instead, or a remix that is far different, as the over-arcing style is the same on the remix. Whatever the case with the remix itself is, it feels like the melodies on BLF were somewhat of an introduction to this new style we're hearing with Lost In The Wild. I remember Anoebis saying the 3rd album would be similar to BLF style, maybe he saw the future, but just hid the fact it was the 4th, not the 3rd, album instead. While Daze did go toward another direction, I feel it has finally come to a full circle with ending on this note, which is a nice touch, even if I rather have something else! In conclusion... Holy shit. This album is exactly what I hoped of Daze. It's crazy maximal, like the old albums, but with a new, improved sound. I am no longer so sad about losing the old Filteria, because this is almost as breathtaking, if even more so in some regards. Daze now feels like more of an idealistic experiment to me, if anything - or even a precursor for the eventual treasure we've witnessing. This album is extremely imaginative, smart and detailed work, and the storytelling on many tracks is palpable to say the least - unlike in Daze, for example, where it felt a lot more forceful. Maybe the fact the tracks have perfect pacing contributes to that a lot? And gone are slightly borderline cheesy melodies from the last album. It is also interesting to note, this album lacks a downtempo ender, as you are grown to expect. That is an interesting choice, which works well within the albums truly successful concept. I even thought the track titles were amazing! Maybe for suggestion's sake; I'd like to see a purely Sky Input stylized space track (Navigate, Starstuff, Ultimator) on the next album. Just for fun. Lost In The Wild felt a lot more down to earth kind of psychedelic, or spaceship floor, but that is is a given of the style of sound and direction. Still, Sky Inputs holds a lot of ground even today, because of it's ability produce catchy, extremely epic non-cheesy melodies and incredibly thick spacey atmospheres - but I'm going off the topic now, so I'll just try to end this. Jannis Tzikas, aka mr Filteria, has exceeded himself and incredibly positively surprised a long time fan who has held his work on the highest regard. I am so happy with this album, it is exactly what I've been waiting for, for a long, long time. And let's not forget that perfectly representative cover art by ukiro, who continues to hold a steady consistency to all of the art on Filteria albums while doing fresh things. To add a disclaimer; however much it might seem I am undermining the 3rd album, I will still stand by the fact it's great on some of it's own merits, namely certain tracks I'm listing ahead, but for those fans of the old stuff, this album is the real sequel we've all been waiting for, full of heavy hitting masterpieces. This album really is the tracks Filtertraces, Wormhole, Eyeless Observatory and Earthrise, mutated, blended and heavily improved through the natural evolution of the artist. One last thing I would care to mention, it seems an awfully dark release for Suntrip. I guess Filteria can sway minds? I got it here http://suntriprecords.bandcamp.com/releases

Oh really? *heads over to bandcamp* *feels like a dumb fool not knowing this* Oh and... t-shirts? I still have have the 3rd album LE shirt in the shrinkwraps and I would like some more Filteria shirts.

Please do, it would incentive people to a ) buy faster and b ) acquire digital copy legally. Obviously the latter could work in favor of the whole digital version option as well. You still would have to pay a little bit more to get the CD shipped anyway. IMO the CD+Digital is what people probably prefer, you will get the physical product but also access to it without having to wait for the shipping time. The way Zion604 does it through bandcamp is perfect, obviously in your case you could make it so it pushes toward your own shop more.

From the top of my head these always come to my mind Bit music goa acid (goa) Filipe really went all out on fusions.

That track is pretty wicked! I guess ovnimoon is the label to look for this style.

I'm so glad I picked up on this, I didn't notice the lyctum track that well on the first listen but goddamn is it good. The whole debut album is brilliant.

I'm sad to see the uplifting melodies from the previous albums gone but it is a very interesting direction for someone like ovnimoon to take. Maybe the end of full-on is near us? Hah.

I just figured they thought adding sex after psy would be killargh.

I never even bothered to give it a chance because of that godawful name. I just thought it was going to be some ultra cheese full-on, but I guess not??? Shit, I guess I'll have to give a shot.

LOL! I'm gonna have a field day showing that track to my non-goahead frainds.

Nobody from finland!? :-(

Nikola gum.

So you want to use nicotine as a performance enhancing drug? I don't hear that often. Try patches.

I can't wait for that Etnica track, draeke!

And I will disagree with that sentiment. Like the early Filteria stuff, it was quite more raw and powerful.

Well, here's hoping this thread ignites the flame. I want to hear the comp pretty bad.

Well they seem to be on a roll on making these movies. Have to see Cloud Atlas first if they still got it. I think last movie I saw was Speed Racer, and while it had stunning visuals, it had a lot of other problems..

Well you could always contact any of the artists regarding it. I know Mars/anoebis should have some connections, so..

Huh, it's been a year already?
