Alien Mutation vs. Indigo Egg — Cloud Hopping

AtomTM - I See More Than You Do

 

[jamescosgrove1980]

Cloud Hopping is real nice.

 

[Hensmon]

Really like the Alvar one when I first played it, and will be one of my favorites from the year but then I turned on the original and it's just immediate to me how much better the oldskool sound design is. And I consider Alvar one of the best producers in the modern scene for sound design, but even he can't seem to cross this invisible rift that got created sometime in 2005/6, in which the most textured, dynamic and lush sounds seem to be sitting and always out of reach for everyone since. Feel like I'm going crazy sometimes... like maybe I just have this romanticized view about the way things sounded back then? But it's like my ears light up within 10 seconds of turning something like this on.

You are not going crazy. Or at least, you are not going crazy alone. Fully agree. The remix is very good, but the original is something else.

I quite like the AtomTM track too!

Cloud Hopping is real nice.

Yup, it is the best one here

Nothing crazy about it. Anyone who grew listening to this music knows it too. The modern scene has a lot to like, but it’s always a form of settling taking place deep down.

That’s aside, Alvars interpretation is still good. He’s on form right now.

 

[Manofearth]

Hard to choose a favourite here, all very good. Maybe just about choice of synths and sounds that makes the original Cloud Hopping so good? It feels like those particular sounds are not in fashion anymore.

 

[Hensmon]

It feels like those particular sounds are not in fashion anymore.

I think its more than just sound choice. It's like a richness I can't explain, and it feels so dynamic in the mix, like I am listening to something that has 3 dimensions and the sound sort of moves around inside that space.

 

[Contraband]

Straight to the cart

 

[Software:06]

God damn beautiful selection of tracks
