Calicofrost - nice soft psybient

 

Infinite Brothers - some chill guitar psybient

 

Sapien - excellent psychedelic bass/midtempo/psychill, check the last track out "Duro Cabo", a seriously tight groove in that one.

[Lorn 74]

I really enjoyed the Zaatari soundtrack. Lovely orchestral flow and it reminded me a bit of the Ink soundtrack. It gets my vote.

 

Apart from Calicofrost which I agree with timeisart on the soft psybient remark, I'm sorry to say this batch of releases is just lacking something.

 

Pax,

Hi friends,

 

I would like to attract your attention to two old school artist.

 

Mister chill r, was one of the person that I listen many times in iPod before I staRted to mix .

 

And

 

In r voice which is a veteran of post USSR world.

 

Ps many new names here that I don't know, also we forgot a va from microcosmos records but we will add it next week

[timeisart 170]

Lorn, I agree this was a pretty slow week, but at least next week (Feb 29 - March 6) is already shaping up to be fantastic with releases from Bluetech, Living Light, Easily Embarrassed, among others.

[Lorn 74]

Lorn, I agree this was a pretty slow week, but at least next week (Feb 29 - March 6) is already shaping up to be fantastic with releases from Bluetech, Living Light, Easily Embarrassed, among others.

 

I always want to support the artists but honesty is needed as well.

[schofield 52]

Yeah, slow week, I'm afraid.  Well, not afraid.  It just was.

 

Except for Stratus - The Driver from Loci Records (Emancipator's label).

 

I really like it, and it is definitely the highlight of my week.

 

(I actually missed it in the list the first time, and added a link here, but then went back a saw it, so have removed the link and edited this post for the 5th time....)

Mister Chill'R

 

how many 70+ year old psybient artists do you know? besides Mister Chill'R and Raja Ram of Shpongle, I can't think of any. I hope to still keep the psychedelic spirit alive at that age.

 

we forgot a va from microcosmos records but we will add it next week

 

If you're talking about Noraus - Type 1 Civilization, that was released on February 29th and will be included in next week's poll (February 29-March 6).

[timeisart 170]

Loci Records (Emancipator's label).

 

I include these just for you schofield

 

I like Emancipator and his label, but often times it's more trip hop or strictly downtempo and not fully psybient, but I'm not that nitpicky about genres.

i take it the new release from David Starfire is on that list?

[floyd2.0 113]

Stratus - The Diver: really nice chill out music!

Zen Racoon - Carapeto: Zen Racoon, Zen Baboon, everything from Baboon Clinic is class act!

[timeisart 170]

i take it the new release from David Starfire is on that list?

 

Right you are Floyd, check out the google sheet that the polls are based on for a sneak peek. Scroll down to week 10 for next week's releases.

Thanks Timeisart.      Yeah, not strictly psydub, but still chill and damn fine music.
