Aerium, Sunda, JDA, Stella Nova - Forum EP03 [TF Recordings]

[Hensmon]

Our next release! Thanks to the TF faithful here who made it happen, and welcome @stellanova, whose anjuna-esque sound I was very excited to hear and add to the release.


Aerium - Aguile


Sunda - The Sky Knows


Stella Nova - Orbital


Brandt Hoff - Aurora Pulsa (Julian Del Agranda Remix)

So excited that I sat up abruptly in bed to look for my headphone to listen to them.

By the way, is there any problem with the naming format of the B2 track on the cover? I think it should be B2 Brandt Hoff Aurora Pulse (Julian Del Agranda Remix) @Hensmon

 

[Sunda]

Got goosebumps hearing these tracks for the first time (and together) on this ep. Proud to be part of it! A really soulful trance release - very rare to find! Aerium's track Aguile has some sublime percs and bass. Love Stella Nova' Oribital and the Julian remix of Aurora Pulse - gorgeous production and really beautiful and subtle melodies.

 

[Z Dobrej Woli]

Wow, it set for the nice mood; I like the vibe of all 4 works; welcome @stellanova (yeah, pretty Anjuna vibes on this one) but my winner of EP is @Julian Del Agranda… wow! T(om)Hanks for this EP, our crew

Exactly my thoughts while listening for the first time: why it’s not as Avalon 62; now I know

I’m actually fine with it being just Aerium really. It is the more known alias so might help with the exposure.

also: can I get a big round of applause for zippyshare label master(er) per-excellence @Narel For a stellar job.

 

[Julian Del Agranda]

Ha, you managed ‘before December’! Well done.

Every release has a “Hensmon”, we have concluded this before. We cannot expect him to do a (and this proves to be an appropriate title again) “Flawless” job!

I’m happy this one is out, I’ve made that remix quite a while ago. I already wanted to work on Aurora Pulse before it got out as a TF:R release. Main melody is just lovely. Suits the Julian-style really well I think.

Well done everyone, and indeed, I was liking the mastering as well

Every release has a “Hensmon”

Which also includes some amazing artwork I might add

 

[Pokkryshkin]

This sound just makes my heart happy! Great job, guys! Trance is definitely still alive

Not bad for a guy who’s not released on Vandit (or Avena records) eh?
Quality tunes here, and pleasure to master. I know I probably shouldn’t choose, but the Aerium track is my fav. Love the midrange piano/pad, random acid and other wobbly shit

 

[Arnoud]

Congratulations on the release. @Jetflag - Aguile would be my favorite, like Narel described above, soothing music. The other tracks are nice aswell.

 

[tranceissomewhatalive]

Stella Nova tune clearly stands out here, great stuff

 

[Progrez]

Aguile has a nice intro but why do the percussion sound so digital? Or is it bandcamp?

I like to create lore for releases so that future forum nerds have something to discuss in a thread 20 years from now.

this is deliberate, Julian's name is too long already and I didn't like how it looked so long compared to the others when adding extra words. Artistic liberties! I knew you would call that out though

 

[Hensmon]

To be fair the Avalon 62 version does sound much nicer.

 

[Jetflag]

Because it’s made on a computer

Maybe you can try adding another line in the artist, it won't look so strange as it's the last track. (as I think Brandt should also require to be mentioned)

 

[Hensmon]

Nahhh, have you seen bandcamp artwork nowadays? Lucky if you even get an album or artist name shown at all. The text is purely decorative honestly, just to make the design more 'complete'.

 

[Aquarium]

There's something nice about all of them, but I have to say Orbital sounds wonderful. It really reminds me of a Super 8 and tab track, or something similar from back in the day. Was that an influence @stellanova? Either way, it's beautiful, I love it. The breakdown in The Sky Knows is that same kind of dreamy anjuna fit too, I kind of wish all those vocals carried on into the climax and other parts of the track, they are super nice.
