Caretstik Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Maybe it's because there hasn't been anything 'new' released digitally by Rephlex in over a year now, for whatever reason? Perhaps because he's free to put stuff out whenever he wants through Bandcamp? I do wonder sometimes if artists ever get frustrated by Rephlex's intermittent release schedules.

psn Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 BTW, why aren't the files tagged with "Astrobotnia" as artist? Doesn't Bandcamp metatag your tracks for you based on the album info you input on the page? My guess is he didn't realize it was going to make the artist Aleksi Perala. "Short Attention Span" was still tagged as Ovuca, and it's on the same Bandcamp account, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you can input a different "artist name" for each track and/or release, and he might have accidentally left it blank or something. Or not. But it seems obvious that it's an Astrobotnia release, and not an Aleksi Perala release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadnessR Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention on this forum. Music like this is the only reason this forum even exists. It's just so sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerWaschbar Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The first 3 Astrobotnia releases were the soundtrack to one of the fondest summers of my life. This is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The drum programming in the Astrobotnia releases is very similar to the stuff written by AFX. Quality stuff. I don't think many can pull-off this elaborate technique coupled with lush pads and haunting melodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thief Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 the astrobotnia series would be 10/10 perfect if it were not for the jungle breaks IMO. the rest of the music is so other worldly and mysterious, then suddenly you get with an apache or amen.

RUN RIDDIM BAD BWOY ooh i hear ya. i feel the same way about vocal samples (for example, voice samples in wisp's albums, etc). still though, astrobotnia series must be about as close to being a 10/10 as it gets : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megapussi Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 this deserves more attention yeah. i like the electribey-synthy drums pn afterwards... ...because i programmed them. i think i actually have one or two of those patterns saved somewhere for nostalgic reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megapussi Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 collaboration AND theft ;) those drums are from my first electronic jams, after i got my electribe er-1. between 199/6/7-2010 we used to have these jam sessions with me, my brother tomplex and aleksi. snippets of noises from those jams have found their way into numerous aleksi-tunes. stuff on boom blaster and mental union got started in our jams. of course he made em to his own versions. and while i´m on the topic, i composed the looney bassline and glidey melody in project v track Sunbath. so yeah, everyhing by aleksi (except some melodies, basslines, drums, tracknames and sounds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megapussi Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Sunbath is one of my favourite Aleksi Perala tracks! Are you serious? If so, well done of course i am serious. i can tell you a story about that track. sometime in 2003 i went to visit aleksi to get wasted. he had been jamming, and had some beats and chords ready, and i started playing stuff over those. at some point i left, and next time i saw him he had this monster track ready. i was surprised the stuff i played was still there. @superstix, it´s ok, of course. if you get a nice idea while jamming, naturally you want to develop that further. jam sessions are a nice way to get wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I love Astrobotnia feel kinda dumb that I'm just listening to this now. Gotta give this a few more listens before I can say a few of my favorite things about this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayhook Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Why hasn't Aleksi posted Astrobotnia II on the bandcamp? The digitals were up for the 12 or so minutes that the Rephlex store was online, so, they exist... Edited December 22, 2021 by hayhook 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
