More awesomeness from SIXIS. He retains his astonishing capability for melody within a genre that can often suffer in this area. It's not glitch for the sake of glitch at all, there's such a delicate musicality behind it. You can really hear how much he's been working on every element of his sound in this EP and there is an amazing amount of sonic space in which all these crazy elements are interacting. Beautiful use of a full range of frequencies. Just awesome really!

 

True Light Of Darkness soundtrack - some absolute gems on here, and the theme provided by James's project makes for a very cohesive 37 minutes of music. I used three of these tracks on the last episode of New Moon Grooves, and the theme of darkness was so strong I just had to use it for the show too. The Halfred and TRIBONE track is particularly wonderfully weird. Lovely stuff.

My vote goes to "Cosmic Replicant - Landscapes Motion". It's not exactly your typical psybient and what you would expect from Cosmic Replicant: it's leaning more towards dubtechno and even straight up techno, but I like it!

 

Track #2 would fit perfectly at 6 am at any decent afterhours party!

 

Granted, I haven't heard many of the other releases (yet)! Will give them a listen now

Cosmic Replicant release surprised a bit, oh yeah ))

[Gagarin Project 400]

Cosmic Replicant is very interesting artist, with a big discography, i really like his touch in music.

I voted for 3 EPs because I was allowed to do it and couldn't choose only one ^^

- 2nutz, because kLL sMTH and because those 2 tracks are the best (yeah I would have vote for this one if selection was limited to one check)

- Gaddy, because Digital Whomp and because the tracks are tight

- Sixis, because Sixis and because the tracks are some next level psychedelic glitch...

Have to agree that Sixis' EP is a ripper.  Well said Snowdrop - I agree.
