bwhale Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I wanna know if people really like them, or this is another one of those things that everyone in the psy scene is expected to pretend they like. Vote away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawfly Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have to say I like most of their releases. The compilations haven't been that good imo since FP 6 and I Awake album and the new H.U.V.A. Network were a bit of a disaapointment for me but they still release mostly quality stuff. And I mean when it's good, it's fucking good!

p(sy)ayam Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 for me everything they have released were above average and the good ones were GREAT. if i have to pick 10 of my favorite albums about 5 of them were released on Ultimae, so i'd say "I 'em" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergroover Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 One of the best psychill labels out there. Although not everything is good, some stuff is brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLB Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 If you consider that Solar Fields & Aes Dana are the main artists of this roaster from which you can add their project HUVA Network, Globally enjoying Ultimae means at ~ 66% , enjoying Solar Fields & Aes Dana. It's quite simple as that :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhale Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I enjoy 4 tracks by Solar Fields and 1 album from Aes Dana. But I also like the Hol Baumann and half of CBL's stuff, so I voted third option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMan Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I love it. I love the Aes Dana releases (although I didn't use to), Solar Fields is perfection, CBL is really gloomy and great, HUVA network is interesting, whereas Distances probably is top 3 ultmae releases, Hol Baumann is pretty good. I tend to enjoy the compilations a lot. I Awake Sync 24 James Murray are okayish. nothing too spectacular. I haven't gotten around to buying the new Substans album from Circular. They're fellow Norwegians, so I guess I have to. Any good? Other than that, CBL are growing into something even better and better.. Very much the same from Solar Fields, just look at Movements. I hope we get CBL 3 in 2009! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abasio Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I adore most of their stuff. I would probably be somewhere between the first two options. Solar Fields, Aes Dana, Fahrenheit Project and the Oxycantas are They have been usurped as my favourite ambient label recently though by databloe/dataobscura as my tastes become more & more chilled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insejn Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I hate most of their stuff. Find it very boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariScotle Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Really dig Solar Fields, have not listened to a ton of their stuff a few comps and so on for the most part I would say I have liked it or at least not disliked enough of it to say I hate it I'll go with like -- why not be nice?

ariScotle Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 You know what? I also gotta say that I have really enjoyed Carbon Based Lifeforms Circular (at least I have been listening to "Substans" and kinda digging it" Mystical Sun I'm just more of an uptempo kinda guy (really like Full-on and Darkpsy stuff) but I do have to chill out like everyone else, and some of the stuff has been pretty good for that. Just to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Great stuff but I have a very difficult time separating good from awesome. They release so much music... and each album requires a fair amount of time to digest... so it takes a lot of time to figure out what I really like. Best finds: Distances and Earthshine.

murphythecat Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 beside from cbl, i am bored with there sound, its good, but damn, i'm never blown away by it, its nicely done always, but nothing to keep me wanting to come back and back and enjoy there stuff, its always quality, but never totally fun, i get bored mostly fast Only carbon based beside that, its a big okay its cool, but nothing totally mind blowing, so yes, i dont like ultimae, but distant sytem is with ultimea? if so, well cbl and distant would be the only thing i keep listening some songs of frenheit project, but its alll; the same IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphythecat Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yes solar field its perfection, but its still boring IMO im sorry, i like solar field, i own all their relaese, and i love listening to their release but only 2-3 time, after that, im like bored with it, its sad cause its perfection, but perfect doesnt mean i love it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psytimeofmylife Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Voted for the third option. CBL and Asura were great but I don't know about the other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I voted the second one. I really dig most of their stuff. One of the best (possibly the best) ambient labels out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhale Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yes solar field its perfection, but its still boring IMO im sorry, i like solar field, i own all their relaese, and i love listening to their release but only 2-3 time, after that, im like bored with it, its sad cause its perfection, but perfect doesnt mean i love it thoughI agree.. most of their stuff is perfect production quality but also perfectly boring and pointless music.

LLB Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I agree.. most of their stuff is perfect production quality but also perfectly boring and pointless music.Indeed it's not the classic melodic chill stuff for sure, it's oftenly hypnotico-mental & btw not plenty entertaining all the time.

murphythecat Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I agree.. most of their stuff is perfect production quality but also perfectly boring and pointless music.exactly, yes it is perfect, but without soul, without magic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psytimeofmylife Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 exactly, yes it is perfect, but without soul, without magic! I don't know if i could agree with the 'magic stuff'. But ok, everyone has their own opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melancholyman Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 James Murray are okayish. nothing too spectacular. In think Where edges meet, is one of the top 5 Ultimae albums no doubt. Why just average to you? I think they are the best downtempo label, all of their releases are above average, and climbing. I love them!
