[Gagarin Project 400]

interesting week

[yiannis 201]

I really like Gaia Temple. Ovnimoon doesn't release too much downtempo but when they do it's usually great.

E-Mantra is good but a bit samey.

agreed, there's some good ones in there.. Shwamp, VAs Astral Connection & Gaia Temple and Wolf Tech sounded good to me.

 

I really like Gaia Temple. Ovnimoon doesn't release too much downtempo but when they do it's usually great.

I've been impressed by what I've heard by Jedidiah & Fluxsense, and their collab project Dimensional Mind Transmission.

 

E-Mantra is good but a bit samey.

Honestly this is the first time I can say that I felt underwhelmed by an E-Mantra release.. still decent but not his best work. (edit: actually after a re-listen its just the last track that I don't like - the rest is good)

[Fuluf 37]

Gaia Temple and Astral Connection VAs were good. Also I quite fancy the Phutureprimite release.

 

In other note that Patrick Bernard release seems to have come out in the beginning of September tho.

In other note that Patrick Bernard release seems to have come out in the beginning of September tho.

Yeah I was late finding that one since Bandcamp didn't send me a notification for it (I think because it's a CD only release maybe?). I had to just randomly stumble upon it while I was on Altar Records' bandcamp page for some other reason.

 

I am sure there have been a few other releases that I've missed this year due to not receiving release notification emails from Bandcamp. One thing I've noticed is that no notifications are sent out for releases that are set to "free download" (not just name your price). If any artists see this who are considering posting their music as free downloads on Bandcamp, set it to Name Your Price instead because otherwise your fans who follow you may never know that you posted the release to begin with because they didn't receive a notification.
