My man.

I only have quantum 2c…and love it. Didn’t realize there was another?

Also loving these new tracks. Seems like a more sparse, ambient direction - which is really hitting the spot at the moment. I’d also recommend grabbing Chaga aka Lyra7 from last year - it was recently made downloadable (as requested by @ARPA). Epic track - easily one of his best.

Circuit 8 FTW.

Great to have downloadable versions of these in lossless quality. I recognize at least three of these tracks from that Infinite State Machine show he did a couple years ago. Hoping for a Bandcamp drop sometime soon!

Haven’t really listened to Arovane in years, but this one is really hitting the sweet spot.

Great rec. Feeling this.

Just had a relisten. Wow - still so good. All the right buttons hit.

Big fan of Frank and a big fan of Umor Rex as a label. Really looking forward to hearing this.

Lovely set of kaleidoscopic deep-house/IDM. Hoping to hear more from him since his standout track on the Schematic 2020 comp. Not disappointed.

Sequel of sorts to his LP put out on Firecracker last year. Another set of deep trax from the Being archives. Excellent.

Much more upbeat set than some of his recent eps. "Mosaic" is up there with some of the best tunes he has recorded. Well worth a listen.

Just listening this morning. It really is.

Eww.

How do you like that Sonic Boom/Panda Bear album? Huge Spacemen 3 fan but I find Panda a bit grating at times.

I think I read that Mixcloud streams at 320? Is that correct? Would be great to get a rip of these at quality - but I am not the expert in that kind of stuff.

Never heard of this before. Yes, it is. Thanks!

Here's the direct Mixcloud link since oscillate.club keeps seeming to have issues:

Hey all - just came across this writeup on Bobby Bird aka Higher Intelligence Agency last week and noticed there was a link in the article to a huge Mixcloud archive of MANY sets from some legendary heads, including Autechre. The first set of theirs I was familiar with (as I'm sure many of you are), as I've had a boot of it for years. The second set of theirs is completely new to my ears and...quite good ? https://www.oscillate.club/1993-1996/

Link now working! Both Sun Electric 94 Oscillate sets are all kinds of lush. Calling @species8472 and @dcom and all early trance/Orb/Fehlmann fans. The Amsterdam one is another take on the legendary Live 94 release on Apollo. @Detuned - These live trax would make a mighty nice release on your label.

Nice to hear this version of Halcyon WITHOUT Bon Jovi.

Will second this. I’ve heard it and it’s some of his best work yet. Al White artwork is also lush.

https://www.orbmag.com/features/leftfield-abstractions-higher-intelligence-agency/ Sounds like Bobby is reigniting Oscillate and starting to play live again. This mix of old and new tracks is great. Also - it looks like he had a digital archive of all the early Oscillate nights that was linked...but the link doesn't seem to work ? https://www.oscillate.club/1993-1996/

Very curious to hear these. Classic, essential album up to all the hype it gets.

Relistened to the whole of the Are We Here ep and remixes the other day. Hit all the right buttons for me.
