For the first listen, looking forward to the The Ravers Have Left The Tower and Annica (A Song For Matt). Also very interested in the 19 min long Forgotten With The Other Waters. Will be a good album I like, like the Diary of a Synthy Kid!

Release notes from myself:

From the windswept coasts of Tasmania comes Narel's most ambitious and personal work to date, a ten-track journey that blurs genre lines while painting vivid terrains. Since his 2020 album "Diary of a Synthy Kid", Nick Simmons has sharpened his craft, deepened his sound design, and, with complete artistic freedom from the label, created an album that feels as intimate as it is expansive.

Opening with the warm, unhurried glow of Helion, Narel sets a welcoming tone. Its a Deep Trance record that instantly transports you to a late summer afternoon. Particular Parallels immerses itself in Dub Techno territory, pulsing with hypnotic chords and an atmosphere you can almost reach out and touch. Interlocutor slows the heartbeat with lush Electronica textures, before Deep Time Excursions drifts entirely off-world in a cosmic Ambient haze. His chart-topping single Tired Mountain Syndrome returns here, its Hypnotic Trance grooves feeling even more potent in the albums context. The ethereal Aura Collapse expands the horizon further, a slow-motion explosion of spacey ambience and breathtaking soundscapes. Then comes the playful nod to Bodzin with The Ravers Have Left the Town — a melodic house cut that shimmers with bittersweet nostalgia. Ephemerides stretches time with over ten minutes of Atmospheric Progressive Breaks, channeling the spirit of Airwave and Sasha in a slow-burning masterpiece. For the Ambient purists, Forgotten with the Other Waters is a 19-minute epic, deep, evolving journey rich with field recordings and well thought out sound layers, calling to mind the immersive worlds of Carbon Based Lifeforms and Dreamstate Logic. The album closes with Annica, a powerful Raw Trance tribute to his friend Matt, where driving rhythms carry both grief and pleasant memories in equal measure.

Narel's new album is more than a collection of tracks. Its a full-bodied expedition through memory, loss, joy, and the vast spaces in between. From sunlit shores to the deep reaches of the cosmos, every piece is crafted with the precision of a producer at the peak of his powers.

Unmissable.

The continuous mix will be Patreon-exclusive, you will not find it anywhere else (and I'll make sure to strike anyone's YouTube/SoundCloud channel if I see it there). I'll make it available for pre-order this week and post the link here.

For individual tracks you will have to go for Beatport for the first weeks. They will appear on Patreon later on too.

No Bandcamp, but I'm thinking of adding the album on my Patreon page for the single purchase. We'll see.

These days most people want to buy an album on a platform that allows to buy and stream it as well. I very rarely use Beatport anymore, because it's largely useless to download audio files unless I'd want to work with it in some way.

I guess BP is only significant to DJs these days.

Those soundcloud samples need to be fixed they sound terrible compared to the Youtube links. I am not too sure if its soundcloud or not.
I've noticed SoundCloud embeds always play with dramatically reduced bitrate. If you click on it to open in SoundCloud, it plays with the correct quality.

Here's your link to pre-order the continuous album mix made by Nick. It will not be published anywhere else at any point in time.

It's almost 1,5 hours long, and anyone who orders it would also be eligible to get 2 tracks of their choice in full quality on the release day.

WAV's only for both mix and the tracks of course.

Thank you in advance for supporting Nick with his best musical project to date.
