  1. The AstroPilot album is quite good, I think it's slightly freer than his previous work.

     

    Just listening to the Rildrim album. First time I've paid any attention to this guy and I must say I regret it. This album at least may not be particularly psychedelic but the sense of melancholy it exudes is just so sweet. Perfect autumn music, which is just the kind of weather we have here atm.


  2. Fantastic surprise, I wasn't aware of Metamorphosis at all before this release. Possibly Altar's artist album of the year for me. There were moments when I thought, Hm this sounds dangerously close to Shpongle, but the content was so good I didn't mind at all. It has an organic feel at many points, which I loved. The whole album is great but for me it lifts to an even higher level from Drifting Into Eternity onward. Spinning the Consciousness is immense.


  3. Nervasystem & Aether - The Mama Matrix Most Mysterious

     

    Supreme eclectic old school weirdness in a variety of tempos, but mainly downtempo. I've tried to listen to this before but I never got it before, expecting psytrance from Nervasystem, and forgetting about it when I saw it was downtempo. Could be a mind-opener for artists, or even listeners, who want to expand their scope. It certainly was for me.


  4. I'd been looking forward to this since I heard the tunes he had on Organic Beats. Great album with lots of variety, from psybient to psydub to chillgressive. I really like the beautiful and/or melancholy melodies. Sometimes the psychedelia takes a back seat to let them breathe, others it leads them. Needs a couple of listens for the whole scope to sink in.


  5. Off topic: I think it's common to get that "heard it all before" feeling when you become experienced in a genre. I've had it myself once, thank god it didn't last too long. The beauty of our music can help you overcome the familiarity, unless you want something monumental to keep your interest.

     

    I absolutely adore Shpongle, as I do the bulk of Simon's work, and I really enjoyed Empty Branes. I try not to have high hopes though. That way if it is an excellent album I'll be even more pleased.

     

    On topic: I enjoyed Argus' album, although it's typical Altar fare. The Logical Elements EP was also good.

    The Fourth Dimension album is a bit too ambient for my mood these days, needs a bit of a special frame of mind to be appreciated, as do most Synphaera releases.

     

    Some of the releases of artists I follow haven't grabbed my attention so far, like Mystic Crock & Dense and Spectrum Vision.


  6. I think Erothyme is IDM, sounds like Kettel (glitchy analog synts sound)

    I am waiting for Codex VI, but I'm slowly go out of psychedelic music world, maybe because of I tired to listen to this music more then 10 years, maybe because of low quality (nothing unique) and minimum experiments at this style nowadays.

     

    It's always going to be there if you want to come back. :)

     

    Looking forward to Codex VI as well.

     

    You can only innovate so much within a genre, even with as many subgenres as psychedelic downtempo, before it turns into something else.
