I think theres music, that in particular is produced by ambient producers that reflects both the human condition and that of something very hard to define. Something involved with being human but part of of us that in some people is aware of lighter more pleasant nature thats hard to achieve in this body because of the state everyone else is in. I find certain music reaches a high level ( spiritual type level ) then dips slightly below it and often follows a slightly sadder or darker feeling to reflect the states we are in as people.

What im saying is that i know that it surely couldn’t be that hard that if people were just normal then everyone in the world would be happy and not forget the ‘genuine’ spiritual part of themselves and properly integrate it fully into their life. Their whole self and all the nice feelings that would come from being that without the need for the fear that our instict has provided our minds because of the state of people ‘in’ this world. Incidentally, Normal = Nice, kind, aware, honest. All the good qualities. Perhaps respectful, but respect wouldn’t need to be thought about as it just would come naturally. - This I think is the kind of normal everyone should be all the time.
But I doubt anyone is. Me included

Superb

Ha! Just noticed it says it was downloaded deliberately in low quality. And theres me really enjoying it, thinking the songs are made that way deliberately and played on old dusty vinyl etc. Im still not sure its not meant to be like that lol. Either way, thats a damn good way to promote certain music and get audience to pay for higher quality versions.

Sounds really old school 90s but says release is 2022. Is that right? I have heard the name burial but maybe for around 10 or 15 years, Maybe more so im bit confused.
Its from last year in typical Burial fashion. Check out his discography. Been a hype around him alot, more so in the past (10-15 years ago) i would say. Some might not like his more recent ambient freeforming tracks, as he was known for his 2-step/half time beats.

I heard some of his free flow ambient yesterday and thought it unique. I realised yesterday why i knew the name from his dubstep stuff. I’ve never been into dubstep but i think he was a big innovator in it

I doubt Flume is everyone's cup of tea here but I find his more experimental stuff quite satisfying (see the Hi This Is Flume Mixtape in particular). Unclear if his new LP is actually just old tunes he never got around to releasing or something else, but I'm digging it.

Been listeing to some "Space Goa" lately and this compilation just came out on Bandcamp. I've listend to it twice now and am very surprised with how much i like it. The fast tracks are great and towarch the end there are some downtempo Goa tracks, i think i like those even more. A worthy purchase.
I am gonna look up some individual artists to look for more.

Going through a patch of creative block at the moment, so I usually listen to music as far away from what I produce as possible for a while. A musical palette cleanser will if you will.


Probably not to everyone’s taste, but these guys are great. Probably one of the more interesting metal crossover acts around atm.
