Rastaliens appreciation thread

Let's talk about this great group. They were always highly melodic, with great storytelling melodies and pretty psychedelic sound.

 

IMO their best track is The Secret Side. The melodies are breathtaking.

and Mr.Sandman in trippy as hell.

Feel free to talk about Braincell & Southwild (Rastaliens solo projects) as well.

I'm familiar with only one track of their's

"Space Addicted" it's not great, but listenable.

Got nothing more to add to topic :/

 

Edit: do all their tracks follow similar style as of Space Addicted? Or is there more to them.?

first- Im totally going to check out that Fuel On remix later!

 

I have at least seen Jay/Southwild more than any other artist since first doing so in 2010 at Desiderata 2010 here in NY

I thought Braincell was there, too. Guess not. I missed Braincell in Ozora last year (I forget the timeslot and day but I needed sleep or to leave the venue for Boom).

 

So Ive seen Jay twice at that event for the Rastaliens & Southwild sets then two sets each in '13 & '14 Smoke on the Water events in NY. Since he's now based in Montreal (3 hours from me) and good friends with my buddy who throws these parties, hes always around ;p yet still one of those guys Ive not got to know. Only greeted a little back in 2010 haha!

 

I like the older Rastaliens and know it most. Tracks that played throughout the DI playlist like 'Bits and Crunches' or 'Orakel' from their 2003 album.

His Southwild project is awesome, too. I seen him also perform at Ozora last year which I have a video of. but heres the smaller NY party last year 8) the first 3:50

 

 

 

EDIT: ps- that VA - The Turning compilation is a gem! ;O track 1. Azax Syndrom & Toxic - Rain was my main reason to must own it. Phyx - Hounds of Hell is just ;OOO

Both of these guys make great tunes generally. Rastaliens is the best, but Southwild is quite decent too. Braincell can be a bit mundane at times but still plenty of fun in parts.

Rastaliens at Eclipse 2012 and Lost Theory 2014 was great fun.
