I'm just an idiot, sorry. Just got excited at that track and was looking for it.

I still want a download though!

[dr lopez]

i agree. that specific track is fucking fire and a newish sound for aleksi

[hayhook]

Seeing at this new one is "2A" and we haven't hit the FI3AC2040000's yet, i'm guessing there's a few more to come  : )

Yay some Friday morning listening!

[Hi Guys]

Groovy tunes

I would love to see an interview with Aleksi where he dives into a little of his creative process, that is more than "colundi consciousness mumbo jumbo"...

even if it's just "Level 9 was exploring _____ colundi frequencies"

"On Oscillations I was working with _______ BPMs and the interplay of________"

"Midnight Sun 1 is ________ . 2A focuses on_______ while 2B was more focused on________.It's such a sprawling project because I'm exploring all aspects of________"

As prolific as he is, I understand that music media isn't going to profile every release, but it needs

something for the listener to latch onto, because as much as I love it, there is a "sameness" to a lot of it. I, for one, would really appreciate it.

 

 

[Hi Guys]

The last track on this new ep is something special

hello Doc

which track are you referring to? 

Mr Perala is currently uploading these albums to Spotify and I'm intrigued which specific tunes I should listen to.

If anyone can post up some recommendations it would be appreciated 

(I'm currently listening to 4A)

FI3AC2040090 (at around 28:30) on that mix chen posted. it hasn't been released yet.

Straight out of the blocks and this mix is banging

I don't get Aleksi's stuff really.. Most is just percousions with a fast tempo and different pitches and LFO's. 
Sounds like when Im jaming on my Machinedrum. 

I miss old Ovuca stuff 

[batch]

has anyone else been trying to bongo along?

[hayhook]

Midnight Sun 4 - EPs 4 & 5  Aleksi keeps em comin...

[kuniklo]

And now 5A. Surely he’s taking the piss at this point. I’m sorry but the rate he’s dumping out new material now just kills my enthusiasm for his work in general. 

[species8472]

huge fan. but agree. my enthusiasm is non existent at this point. 

[Extralife]

Yeah I stopped about three releases ago.  Can't keep up.

[brian trageskin]

word is he plans to map the entire country of finland with this artwork concept

[hayhook]

looks like 3 more to go over the next three weeks if he keeps to his schedule and finishes the picture as he did above...

then it's on to the "Northern Lights" series as teased in the mix on page 5?

I'm psyched for all of it. 

I can play aleksi/colundi all day on random and never get tired of it.

I guess one of these days I need to sit down with each release and rate em accordingly.

[thumbass]

I also tuned out about 6 releases ago lol, he's going overboard with it now. I'll wait for the new series to start before i return to his music
