Manuser Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Hi. I never got into downtempo stuff much but it grew on me lately, I heard so many good words about Ultimae and I'd like to give it a try, finally: Could you list the 3 most essential releases? Quote
JISNEGRO Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 mm tough question, I will, instead, answer about the top 3 artists: CBL, Solar Fields and Aes Dana Quote
Balance Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Well I'd go digital for one thing as you get both the mixed versions and unmixed tracks for a great price via their bandcamp. Artist albums? Asura - any, Cell & CBL are IMO the best. Personally I love their compilations and would suggest Ambrosia, Oxycanta III & Passages. Quote
Anoebis Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Connect.Ohm you cannot miss, serious... And CBL/Aes Dana/Solar Fields/Asura of course Quote
Rotwang Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 My faves (though I haven't heard them all by a long shot): VA: Oxycanta Carbon Based Lifeforms: World of Sleepers Solar Fields: Leaving Home Quote
Manuser Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks all. I'll see what I can get. Quote
transistor91 Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Solar Fields - Movements Carbon Based Lifeforms - World of Sleepers Asura - Code Eternity Quote
Dolmot Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 I tried to compile a list from stuff I own, and after narrowing it down I ended up with INRE009: Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden INRE030: Hol Baumann - Human INRE052: Connect.Ohm - 9980 "Bubbling under" was INRE002: Fahrenheit Project Part One INRE017: Solar Fields - Leaving Home INRE052: Sync24 - Comfortable Void INRE062: Miktek - Elsewhere INRE070: Circular - Moon Pool But it seriously depends on what you want - more rhythmic, pure ambient, artist albums, compilations, classic releases, new stuff... (I could have listed all CBL and a few more from Solar Fields but you can go there yourself after trying one example first.) Ordering Asura - Radio Universe next...and just noticed it's INRE057. That's filling a gap 14 slots backward from the current catalogue index. Interesting. Quote
Manuser Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 Great recommendations, so I tried to listen to some stuff you recommended and the ones I prefer are the Connect.ohm album, Asura - Life² and Aes Dana - Leylines. Not too much fan of VA - Oxycanta. I'll get the Connect.ohm album for sure and probably Leylines as well. Didn't listen to CBL yet though. Quote
psybient.org Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 don't miss Scan-tek and CELL they are very unique Quote
Maden Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 My favorite artists Solar Field, Carbon Based Lifeform and Connect Ohm ... You have to give a try, it's really wonderfull. Have to try again Asura - Life2 and Aes Dana - Leylines. Thanx for the advice ! Quote
remnant Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Impossible to give only 3 Nova Albedo Fahrenheit Projects (plenty of tracks) H.U.V.A. Network Distances Hol Baumann Human Hybrid Leisureland Scroll Slide Solar Fields Extended Solar Fields EarthShine Asura Life² Cell Hanging Masses Quote
abasio Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 3? That's tough as there are so many. Can I give a top 5? In no particular order: Solar Fields - Until We Meet The Sky Sync24 - Comfortable Void Miktek - Elsewhere CBL - World of Sleepers Connect.Ohm - 9980 But there are so many good albums and comps. Quote

Can anyone recommend places/shops where I can get one? Apart from Discogs Quote
Starkraver Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 @Scandinasia - bro, you are French right? Any suggestions on where I can get it? Thanks in advance Quote
Mergi Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 are you lookin' for connect.ohm? I'll give my copy another listen... remember not liking it all that much so might let it go. Quote
Hallusinaatio Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Carbon Based Lifeforms (whole production!), Asura, Sync24, thats what I like! Quote

Manuser Posted April 26, 2015 Author Posted April 26, 2015 I actually bought it on Discogs for 17 euros including shipping, a bit expensive but I like it. Discogs prices piss me off more and more though, really push you to download and not buy for lots of CDs. Quote
