Shpongled247 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Just as the title said, what do you think are the most spaced out, alien or cosmic sounding albums? Preferably whole albums with a theme running through them. I know the obvious ones like IFO, Etnica stuff etc but curious to maybe find more i have yet to hear somehow. I know this is kind of a broad question hah.. Quote
Padmapani Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 imho everything D5. much more so than IFO. Quote
psytones Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I think this is a great topic. Really hoping to read some seriously good suggestions. Shamefully, I do not know what to truly suggest .. Quote
Imba Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Electric Universe, One Love and Stardiver, also Paradise Connection. Ofcourse D5! Quote
mars Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Ethereal - Anima Mundi http://www.discogs.com/Ethereal-Anima-Mundi/master/379937 It's one of the spaciest albums ever! Chi A.D music http://www.discogs.com/artist/12977-Chi-AD Khetzal - Corolle http://www.discogs.com/Khetzal-Corolle/master/231050 Quote
ion1zed Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Ok...apart from the (really - like Astral Projection's "Another World") obvious candidates... Not sure if always goaish enough, but: E-Mantra - Pathfinder (Distant Signals omg!) Nova Fractal - Fractal Landscape MFG - Project Genesis Alienapia - Goapocalipsys Ra - To Sirius Cybernetika - Nanospheric Crop Circles - Tetrahedron Annunaki - From Nibiru Psy-H Project - Dance Of Distant Worlds Definetely not goa enough, but pure space, alien, cold and hostile...Chaotic Synthetics - Transuniverse Express Quote

Chi A.D music http://www.discogs.com/artist/12977-Chi-AD Khetzal - Corolle http://www.discogs.com/Khetzal-Corolle/master/231050 Agree with Ethereal but to me Khetzal is absolutely one of the most non-spacey Goa albums in the entire genre. Corolle is so full of...gaia...mother earth...lotus flowers, don't know how to say it, but nothing in the music reminds me of space at all... Quote

desysko Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Cosmic Dimension - In a Special Kind of Space. - I mean come on, their name has the word COSMIC and their album is about space, how is it not. Sky Technology - The Pleiadian Connection Psychowave - Sunshine Reborn and maybe Mindsphere - Patience for Heaven Quote
Anoebis Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Can ayone tell me how the space sounds? I would always say Steve Roach, as that sound is for me, space sound... Pure drone/ambient... Quote
Dolmot Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Space would probably sound like 4'33" so the rest is largely subjective and open to interpretation. Nevertheless, my foremost thought would be that D5 really takes the cake here. They have space-related album/track names, OK, but that alone doesn't make the music spacey. However, they keep it quite heavily synthetic, mechanical, ethereal and cold. Can you recall any Indian melodies or instruments, chants or even drug samples in their work? I'd say they largely skip all that. Cosmosis - Cosmology is the most cosmic one based on the title. But that and Eat Static tend to follow the "visitors on Earth" theme so it's somewhere inbetween. What else...some Underhead, Moonweed, AP's tracks which are not about Tibet, MFG's tracks which are not about religion...dunno. I'll go with D5. Quote
Imba Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Goasia - From Other Spaces For me it's full of cosmic sounds! Quote
djShoom Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Tandu - Multimoods Cydonia - In Fear of a Red Planet Those are spacey for me, though more of the "being chased by evil aliens and crash landed on a hostile planet" kind of space Also, anything by Total Eclipse makes me think of space and aliens. Quote
IronSun Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Artifact303 - Back To Space and I second Goasia's From Other Spaces! UX's Ultimate Experience is very spacey too, but in a dark, menacing way (like a superstardestroyer full of evil Sith). I also agree that Corolle is very earthly, much like the classic Blue Energy by Jaia which sounds a lot like a trip around the planet (and signifies the element of water to me). Alas, there is no music that is more cosmic than Etnica's Live in Athens, Alien Protein, Pleiadians' IFO and Crop Circles Tetrahedron. Quote
abasio Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Eat Static - Prepare your spirit was for me the most sci-fi sounding album, Astral Projection - Dancing Galaxy is my choice for being among the stars with naught but my skin though. Quote

Shpongled247 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Some good suggestions here. Of course I know and love D5 just forgot in the op, they are actually my benchmark with pleiadians/Etnica I think for this sound. Will check out the chi ad stuff as I only have a small collection of theirs and not that album. Also no one mentioned Hunab Ku, but maybe too obvious. Khetzal I love but yup, a very organic and earthly album. It's full of pan flute and watery sounds heh. Definitely not alien. Lastly, live in Athens is what prompted this thread, I had quite a time listening to that recently and it was like boarding an intergalactic groove train. Truly ahead of their time back then! Quote
psytones Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Hunab Ku - Magick Universe Something like this maybe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zO3Q2XjJIA Quote
ion1zed Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 What about Eleusyn? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Yb0tiuHqqU Quote
Veracohr Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I'm noticing a lot of obviousness in this thread. Saying something is "spacey" because the name includes something literally space- or cosmic-related is kind of lacking in imagination. Quote
