I wrote this review a long time ago and never posted it becuase i never finished the whole review - however I thought I would put it up now nonetheless seeing as i'm not going to finish it... Tracklisting: 1 Retroscape (11:32) Arranged By [bass] - Danny Shnaiderman Arranged By [Rhodes] - Yakir Ben-Tov 2 Transmissions In Bloom (12:50) Composed By, Guitar [Electric] - Ariel Mann 3 Odd Reflections (10:17) Arranged By [bass] - Danny Shnaiderman Composed By, Violin - Fadel Mana 4 One Step Closer (8:49) Composed By, Saxophone [soprano] - Giyora Arbiser 5 After Silence (6:46) 6 Invention (11:13) Composed By, Saxophone [shahnai And Soprano] - Amir Gvirtzman 7 Mia Nihta Mono Den Ftani (10:07) Composed By - Panos Kamelis , Sotis Volanis Composed By [Additional], Guitar [Electric] - Yonatan Galila Composed By [Additional], Other [Zorna And Ney] - Amir Gvirtzman 8 Eternal Bliss Of The Grateful Souls (4:59) Retroscape - starts off with a slow beat and goes into the shulmanesqe sound has acoustic and electronic sounds mixed, string instruments, and lots of ethnic mixes. There is few samples female and male. At least one of them is a very common and i would say way WAY over used sample in psybient aka psychill. Then there is a sample of a female voice speaking alluding to meditation practice or somthing... that one is original... then more of the worn out indian ethnic or whatever sample that is so antiquated it basically ruins the whole vibe, reminds me of all the many many other psybient tracks that have used this sample: entheogenic, makyo probably, who knows who else... OH this time it has a disco-like overtone on it wow, how distict. If they dropped the use of that sample. It would be a totally original track, but since I've heard this riff so many times... I will just stop talking and wait for the next one and hope I haven't heard parts of it used in countless other tracks. Transmissions in Bloom - starts out with etheric synthetic ooh aah soundz, then goes into breaks that are a little faster than the previous. An asian, folk instrument (india, china), sounds like string or wind (I dunno the name). Then some synthetic strings, and piano overlaid. So far no annoying middle eastern or asian raggedy samples from sample.com ... (I guess I just got a thing against re-used samples) The electro bass is present, we have some ambient breakdowns that seem to open up to a atmosphere or an enchanted dreamscape. It kind of gets interrupted by that old Asian folk instrument, that Shulman seems to love. But then it makes it in and rests neatly together into the sound nicely. Synthetic High frequency Organs, and you feel like your gliding through a empyrean dream. Beautiful. Then some hints of shaman songs in the whistling echosphere. Then an industrial sounding breaks comes in (reminds me of NIN personally). Then some Etheric Ooh Aahs fade in. And a break beat finnaly takes hold. As our synths and melodic blooping arpeggios augment the cascading percussion stutters and dribbles. A harp now, with a compementary duet, and again the Asian Obo or whatever it is. A high pitched filter sweep, and the gentle air of Transmission in Bloom dissipates into a feminine emptiness. Odd Reflections - Starts off with a fly-by sound and a bouncing or dribbling ball of mercury bouncing in a big echoing room. Some arcade like laser bolts rythams, and then a gentle Ooh ahh sound comes in. Then a sound of someone cooking greesy breakfast with scrambled eggs or something is digesting. Then the old Asian Obo, and shortly after a synthetic sine wave takes it over. Then some old 303s adornment, percussion is going steady... and the asian obo is back to do it's thing. Then the 303 reminds me of the old golden sounds. A break... The percussion goes on but it's a break in the melodies. And then the percussion is gone. And now it's just soundscapes. Then it slowly builds back up with some arcade like laser bolts, A nice organ chord or two, and the asian obo is back with percussion. 303s return for a short march. And then a duet between the Asian Obo and a synthetic Bowawhywhwywhyah sound, and it the two sort of condense into a peak experience or somthing while the falling echos of dropped plastic cups in hyperspace cover it out. One Step Closer - Starts off with a deep bellowing under water cavern sound. And a electronic panel is nearby - oh it's the side of a android's neural net. On second thought the android is the cavern itself and it is filled with warm plasma charged liquid, probably pink or fluorescent color. The percussion breaks come in, with a cadence of Insects providing the secondary flank. And a amphibious 303 starts it's happy frog song. We have some nice steady work on the percussion cymbals... and a profound intriguing sense of suspense comes with the rolling cascade of a supporting melody in a synthetic string with deep pedal. The Saxaphone is here and it is telling you it's a strange and funky place but it warm and welcoming even though it's so funky you can feel the smile of the man behind the saxaphone. No sound assumes dominance everything rolls through like the experience of life itself, nothing lasts and there is no abrupt beginning or end for any sound. Everything seems to simply scroll by the lady of fate. Wind in the grass. And it naturally goes out without any loss of dignity. After Silence - Starts out with a swift short xylophone scale, and a ambient line with a rain stick or chimes. Synth line sweeps in and builds, with digital watch or clicks about. The beat seems to come in, now everything reaches a kind of order, a violin, a organ, a deep synth, the sounds are almost watery. And suddenly a shimmering bell synth, and the beat breaks, synthetic ooh-aahs fade through, and there is a sense of being in a sentient artificial intelligence or being in the room with a alien intelligence, vast and expansive. Then a sound that seems out of phase, a kind of rumbling treading, or mechanical turning, of a rubber or gel part of a machine or perhaps a organic organism. The beat returns, a industrial vibe. Ambient eastern vocals and the chimes return and now a piano, with a synth electric string bass, a underwater watery jet stream sound, and the track fades quickly out. Invention - This one starts out jazzy, hm, a contrast with the rest. Creaky sounds and then in comes a obo or something, piano soon after. The percussion goes on, and we have a almost Thievery Corporation kind of vibe or sound. Then comes the saxophone, and the whole thing gets classy, wonder if it's live sax. Anyway now comes in a simple synth chord to replace the sax, and we got the obo back. Again the sax... some nice Goa style beeps and blips. It goes on, and there its a break... Starts out with high hats, quietly and fades in with that tropical reggee sound and is quickly accompanined by a obo that has a very happy gay melody. Makes you want to skip and laugh. Then it goes into a dreamy soft synth tones blue... the loyal feminine element... and were back with the obo melody that is so catchy. It goes on and the breaks down into a tribal middle eastern belly dance riff. Very intelligent switch here, impressive. Flutes quickly adorn the line and the whole thing takes you back in time. The gay melody returns and is now mixed in with the middle eastern sound from before, the summertime reggee sound takes on a new dimension. And it goes on untill a graceful fadeout of the obo which has taken us around the world through time. The flute finalizes the piece. Eternal Bliss of the Grateful Souls - The shortest track of all. Starts out with a primordial ocean of life sound in the deeps of the sea. And then is graced with a (... all I wrote) Recoup: This music trips me out, Shulman is telling us about a place, it is a message, about another place, it is not even really music, but a experience brought back from this place which the song describes. This is a mysterious place, which Shulman has the honor of the muse to allow the description thereof. Wonderful album i'd give it a 9 out of 10.

Antix - Wanderers Is so incredibly good its like ambrosia. Wow what a incredible talent these guys have. purely accident that I hear them, now I admit I'm gonna have to support them How do they to it. Its so full yet so simple. Tells a story ( cliché I know ) so uplifting and light weightless music! Yeah these guys are my favs right now by a couple light years... Minimal is really a delicacy when done this way

Wow ... What happened to ATMOS? Totally forgot about him after Headcleaner having started the whole minimal revolution the guy just sign out?

THX 10x! very nice.

Minimal (NON FULL ON) (LOW BPM) What happened to it? It was fashionable for a while, everyone was doing it. So it got really boring fast... It appears minimal has now become a new kind of full on. (which is great) But I'm looking for some minimal clubby low BPM stuff. Not many ever seemed very good at that. Antix - Wanderers <---- (very good [ideal] ) Where can I find more of this kind of style? Recent releases 2007 onward please. (Unless it's a classic or simply one of a kind) I remember there used to be an artist called: Noma What happened to Noma? I understand Son Kite is due a work this month. Just looking for some more minimal. It's very refreshing once in a while between full on And seems to have a longer lasting and conservative energy that is good ambience. I think minimal has a place in every party... if not two places. My opinion: Vibrasphere - is too deep dark and feminine for me right now. Cosmic Tone - I don't think is minimal at all really. (again not looking for full on) Noma - Vanished Son Kite - Is work in progress Tegma - Hasn't been my cup of tea yet but i'm still tryin, (doesn't seem minimal just slow) S-range - Has never been the minimal I'm talking about. Cosma - Is gone... =/ Also too full on and dark. Ticon - Still have no idea about... Who else is there?

I always return to the days when I first heard juno reactor for the first time in my life and electornic music at age 15 or 16 or so... and have to release out a woot and exclamantion . ...WHIOOOPIE!!!!!!!!! yeah I ditto everything already said though. cover art atleast looks neat

Reflexive Frequencies was the most memorable albums for me most unique experiences. But Extended and Leaving Home I think were better

I actually stared this review long time ago before it was posted. But never completed it. Wanted to be the first to post the review of the album but didn't make it. So here is what I wrote. It's still incomplete. Shulman: Endless Rhythms of the Beatless Heart. Retroscape - starts off with a slow beat and goes into the shulmanesqe sound has acoustic and electronic sounds mixed, string instruments, and lots of ethnic mixes.

I love their new album Earthshine. But I really liked their ambient stuff more. It was more powerful. I am glad they expressed that album and made a clearly very deep and uplifting sound. But I felt that even though it is one of a kind. I think their ambient says even more. I actually think solar fields is one of the best ambient acts around. The guy has an ability to do trance, but somehow trance is limiting. Either one he does I am happy. But what I think would be really nice is to see an album with both trance and ambient worked into each other. That I think is the highest of the brows. Of course nobody does that very often. But when it is done it is really unforgettable if done well. I can remember a paul oakenfold mix... ah but I digress.

prolly right about that supergrover. If i wasn't downloading I would not be participating at all. But when I do really like a artist I do buy that album Like recently I bought Chi AD's tracks... paid 10 bucks for 4 mp3s and I don't regret it. I'm glad to support Chi AD even though I didn't get a CD or any material for it. But I do enjoy getting the album and having it, as a physical copy. I'm proud to own the albums.

What if stealing and other forms of immoral behavior was what the world used to oppress those living upon it? For example every-time you downloaded an album that allowed a person some day to "screw you up the ass". a girl or boy you liked to lie to you and treat horribly and make you waste away yourself... for so long... I mean your only young once. I mean it's kind of equivalent... What if it in fact works that way? What if... It has always worked that way: As one feeds off another it cascades and compounds upon itself? What if pirating music is synonymous of "original sin" so to speak? well just something to worry about - if you like...

Thanks Those are classic But, I mean in terms of something RECENT

I'm trying to find somthing realitivly NEW and recent that has some uplifting melodies... somthing like Zorba - Crystalized Or Juno Reactor - Roterblade Dimension 5 - Transdimensional Electric Universe - Stardiver But those are kinda old... Somthing with drama BUT Less attitude more ethereal... more empty. Kinda overdone of the funk and the groove. Looking for the spacey... and the expansive. Doesn't have to be old school... But old school tends to do more than try to badass...

I'm looking for more stuff that has been made since... 95? That is somewhat like Mantaray - Numinous Island. I dunno what it is, but this music has a vibe... that no other i've ever heard has or even comes close... It's ... just totally unique and very good. It's intelligent but simple, spiritual and silly, atmospheric and ambient but also has beats... It's like the ultimate ambient, it's moods are ... subtle but far out. But not so strong that you fall into a ocean with currents all around you. It can be played and you can totallly concentrate on other things and still enjoy the music. ... I dunno it's light hearted but exotic and mysterious... Anyway! I'm looking for anything kinda like this, that maybe some of you know of Not many people know about Mantaray, but god what an act. Whatever happened to the project and the producer(s)? This is better than The Infinty Project in certian ways if you just looking for somthing with less drama...

Maybe it's because they are all oppressed!?!? & It's all men's fault?? ehm? and patriarchy... FACE IT! goa parties are sexist! They are degrading to women!! Hey, women should not be seen for their GENDER!!! Women are not OBJECTS!!! Women are MEN!!! THATS WHY they don't make music GEEZ!! hello? duh! MALE DOMINATION AND OPPRESSION of the WOMAN!!! U sexist pig!!! Gawd...

Chi AD is fine goa. http://chi-ad.com/music/music.htm can't wait till the next release

ditto

Nice Album. :posford: I love the melodies. Hypnotic and very trancey. Uplifiting and positive. Best Tracks: 2,6 I like a break now and again from the hardcore serious - technophilia. I'm betting the Alien Project guy is not surprised at some of these responses. I think he knows what he's doing. Many people act as if when somone produces an album like this that they've "Lost it" or somthing. Perhaps they have not lost anything? But simply changed out or developed their tastes. I always get the picture from some reviewers like the artist has simply become brain damaged or lost moter control of their limbs by the negativity of some reviews. No moderation, just absolute negative. Suffice to say when somone doens't like the album they do not think that perhaps the artist has not the sole mission of pleasing those around him as much as expressing his artistic skill. But I'm bias, I like this one of Alien Projects work. My 2 cents.

Flood control?...? If Alienated Buddha truly is the Best Goa ever made... why is it there is only 1 album out from these very gifted fellow or fellows? I mean. If he really has made the best goa on one album in all the anelects of goa Why is there no further develpments of the Alienated Buddha? Where has the Alienated Buddha gone? Did he become so Alienated that our narrow deaf ears no longer hear him? whence shall the Alienated Buddha return perhaps the Alienated buddha is sojournying on a quest of patience and non-action waiting for our ears to evlove into the clairty of the spirit of his sound? Bring Back Alienated Buddha.

alienated buddha

Here is a album cover. I love this album. Very impressive - and a delight to listen to. It is a very enlightening new goa like complexity of melodies with the power of modern psytrance. There is not a single bad track. All is of the highest quality. My favorite track is definalty track two - I believe. In fact "I Believe" seems to be the clearest evolution of A Pleiadians sound into the presant moment.

Thats pretty badass. BTW Kalki - What exactly are "Pads" ?

Yea it's got the Midi out and USB connectivity. I don't know If It can be used as a MIDI controller for software synths though. THat said I find some neat features in it like "Harmony" where it can modulate any voice to a 1/4th 1/8th/ 1/12 1/16th 1/24th or 1/32nd beat It also has tempo control and the possibliity of uploading new "styles" which I'm not sure what a style is. I suppose it's difrent from a voice... And it's the voice that is really the sound so... mmm i dunno. I would like to get LOGIC PRO but that is a 1000 dollar software app. Impossible to pirate... I'm getting a copy of Cubebase now. I just gotta see what this synth can do. If it is really worth keeping or if there is somthing more suited to my needs.... that is somewhere around same price.
