abasio Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 I got this card from Hong Kong & it nearly made me wet my self. A liquid Pants explosion could ensue. Basically there is a release from Ishq read on 1. Clouds of Indigo 2. Planet X 3. Tree Bark Dreams 4. Smiling Buddha 5. Lhasa Oblongata 6. ixland 7. Clearlight 8. Home Ixland is the debut album by Indigo Egg / aka Ishq / aka Matt Hillier. Originally written in the late 90's and subsequently shelved & worked on over the years Ixland has now finally found it's way on to CD and in a remastered & finished version. The album Highlights the early beginnings of the artist Matt Hillier & Ishq & documents & documents his early work when he was based & working/recording from a semi-squatted location in the UK called No1, a meeting point for weirdos & freaks. The album is itself the result of many late night sessions & early mornings & a melting pot of free festival / early psychedelic ambient sound which is still highlighted in Matt's work. The album is a colourful & both melodic & also tripped out series of tracks all forming one fluid vision with hints of everything from electro alien harmonics to Tibetan cities in the clouds, organic & deep yet with the hints of the lightness and beauty which have found their way into the music of Ishq!

Melancholyman Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Great album though I think track 4 is already figuring on some of his other cd's? I strongly recommend this. Quote
