Utopian Streams - Second Wave [Gestalt Records]

[erickUO]

Not as trancy as their Anniversary Sampler, but Gestalt Records always deliver for me.
Enjoyable dreamy proggy release overall. Particularly love that snare on Dream Shores.

Holy balls of Aegina, will be waiting for Friday with high expectations. These all sound lovely. B2 might just be the one for me.

proggy release overall. Particularly love that snare on Dream Shores.

love that someone cares about snares

 

[Hensmon]

Release sounds like could be really good. Andromeda is standing out the most for me so far.

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

fantastic share! 'Andromeda' and 'Dream Shores' are super great!

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

B2 might just be the one for me.

[TRANCEBLASTER]

the EP is OUT today

the sound character and atmosphere of the EP fits my taste, sadly all the tracks are way too short, im not a 6-minutes lover.(

A1: 'Dream Shores' fantastic start in the first 2 minutes, the vibe reminds me on 'Steve Tang', then the main theme comes and im not so excited anymore, overall its a its solid track 7/10
A2: 'Planet JX' ok but boring 5/10
B1: 'Andromeda' after few listens im not so hooked anymore, forgettable theme, still a solid 6.5/10
B2: 'Now Is The Time' yes im totally into this track, fits very well into my taste, sadly only 5:47 minutes long 8.5/10

7.5/10 for the full EP

 

[Hensmon]

Just picked it up myself. Really sexy EP. I'd say 7.8/10 on first blast, but likely will increase as I get more listens. I agree that 6 mins is too short for some of these. Don't have an individual favorite just yet but Now Is The Time is smelling like a totw.

 

[No Return]

Dope as fuck release! Like House and fucking Trance love children.

 

[Archon]

Now Is The Time is smelling like a totw

Absolutely deserved.

 

[HTY]

Killer tracks. Planet XJ is really fire. Now is the Time in my eyes is a house, but my word it is a good one.

 

[Ruya]

Gestalt is one of the best labels currently. Hoping their release schedule speeds up and we get more releases as they grow. This is another great drop from them.

just registered an account to say thanks for all the kind words here!

when signing these tunes i knew theyd be a harder sell than most of the other records ive put out. but sometimes the music just speaks for itself and this was one of those releases for me. so it makes me very very happy to read all your lovely comments

@Ruya gst32 is slated for late november and theres a new sublabel incoming soon too, so will defo pick up the pace over the next 6 months.

Well smack my ass and call me Judy, this release absolutely fucking slaps.
