love the new Ashnaia Project, great mix of styles but all very psychedelic, also love the UFO theme

 

Erothyme's album was highly anticipated and was definitely worth the wait, I love his more chilled side over his crazy glitchy stuff, which can also be good too though.

 

new Planet Boelex was a nice surprise, enjoyed a lot of his works in the past.

I just had one vote this time, for Anchor Hill - never enjoyed his stuff before but this album totally blows me away!

it is always possible to vote and then vote again to add more. the only issues is that you have manually remember your "original" vote. So writing a comment about what you have selected is helpful

I usually enjoy Sattyananda releases, will start my listen with it.

Thanks Snowdrop for the word on Anchor Hill.  I've been in two minds myself about his music.  I kind of like some tracks but others are not quite my thing.

 

Anyway, this album is much different to his previous style.  I like the dancier numbers.  I would have bypassed this if you didn't mention it.  

 

My picks for this week were Erothyme's album - sublime and really intelligently crafted - and The Polish Ambassador's remix album - been looking forward to that for a while.  Even though only 5 of the tracks are on there so far (as of today).

Erothyme - Sound in the Living Current very nice, specialy tracks 6 and 8 (love the vocals).
