Enigma State - Of The Essence (Artist Album) [Transtate Records]

[NameLessYet]

WOW, haven't expected the CD will be sold so fast, only 31 copies left now. Seems to be the last chance today. I will write my reviews of the album tonight, as I have something else to do now.



I have paid ￡14 (CD itself) + ￡5.63 (VAT to Denmark) + ￡8.5 (Shipping) for my CD, almost twice as the original price, too expensive (although it worths).. How I wish I was with my friends in China, they have bought 10+ CD together, which has no VAT and makes the shipping for everyone very low.

I've paid 37 euro. It's a lot, but in this case it's also necessary to support the artist.

Sadly from 14 pounds for the album, +vat, +8.5 pounds shipping cost, + customs I'll have since BRExit, I'll have to pay around 40 euros. This is why we can not have good things lol.

I think if you really want to support the artist,VAT and shipping costs shouldnt put you off not buying at all.

 

[Jetflag]

Cd support with a tip. Hats off Nath .

First listen, "Wanting" is my fav so far. It's not as flashy as the rest, but sounds honest instead.

 

[Progrez]

Emotions/Wanting sounds the best from this because the percussions sound really sounds like it's from that period. Solid tracks through and through.

@EnigmaState I personally think collaborating with Mike Smith aka MK-S would be amazing collaboration if he is open for a collaboration.

It sounds great from some previews I listened. I need to sit down and give it a proper listen to the whole album.

Sadly from 14 pounds for the album, +vat, +8.5 pounds shipping cost, + customs I'll have since BRExit, I'll have to pay around 40 euros. This is why we can not have good things lol.

I totally understand. It pains me when I see the costs. Worst part is in the UK the postage costs have increased too from 1st April. Usually you would include the the postage cost to cover the cost of materials for shipping and in this case I decided to just absorb the cost myself because I could justify charging any more than what it cost, just basing it on my own perspective on buying music as a music lover.
But, even just streaming support is more than enough main thing is you enjoy the music.

LSD or XTC, The Moonman & Essence of Life are the stand out tracks for me

 

[Hensmon]

Only one listen so far, so hard to pick a favorite, but overal a great album, one of the best we've had in a decade for this sound, maybe even much longer.

Like Progrez, I think Wanting and Emotions were the two that got me moving and smiling the most.

 

[Julian Del Agranda]

I’d like to say Illuminate again. Might become my fave.

Yeah the VAT thing is Bandcamp. Some countries have it applied at point if sale, and some don't, but where they don't, there is a chance it's applied at customs which is out of my hands. The VAT that is collected by Bandcamp they hold that and issue the VAT to the respective country government.
Bandcamp have been pretty hot with VAT over the last 6 months.

Essence of Life has been the track that's has suprised me the most with people's comments. This track was one I felt was a good break in the album to lead it into the final third by I felt it was going to a track that some will and some won't like, but it's actually surprised me by how many have enjoyed that track.
Pleased you enjoyed the tunes!

Thanks!
Is MK-S still producing?

Wanting just takes you on a different journey, I think.
Glad you enjoyed it!

 

[Perpetuous dreamer]

It's finally here, and not a single vocal track in sight, thank god.

 

[Progrez]

Thanks!

Yes he is still producing he uploaded his unreleased tracks on soundcloud. But since both of you are living in the UK I thought you would know even though you live like 3 hours difference. He is on Youtube and soundcloud

I finally listened to the album. It's hard for me to choose the best track, because I like everything. I had goosebumps more than once, and my eyes started to glaze over... "Wanting" this is something I absolutely must hear on Luminosity. Unfortunately, yesterday Friday I didn't have the opportunity to buy the album on Bandcamp, so I'll wait for another opportunity that will give You a bigger profit. Of course I'm waiting for the vinyl releases.

Glad you like Wanting. One of my fave tracks that. More so cost its so different.
A vinyl is in the plan. It might be a few months off yet though. But it's my intention

 

[Aquarium]

Wanting really is a standout so far, but the whole album makes a great first impression. I'll need time to soak it in, but as I was hoping, the sound is amazing.
