[khov]

I bought the CD1 release as mp3 back then. Now I feel bad as I could have had 2 CDs instead

 

me too but it was 3 years ago & the Mental Union mp3/wav costed like 2 euros or something, so i'll be happy buying that 2 cd set !!!!

Apt description man. Disc 2 of this release is amazing.

[rekosn]

[psn]

Yeah, and the R?

[ascdi]

Hahaha brilliant back cover artwork. Totally gonna buy this.

[Guest mrgypsum]

whats the cheapest way to order from the US? this and jodey kendrick - been waiting for these ages.

[apatch]

Sorry to say but it's not worth to wait for, low quality waste in contradiction to Jodey Kedrick - Plus Ten CD2 (nice suprise)

 

Now hate me ...

[kichiguy]

whats the weather like in bizzaroland?

whats with those roman numbers on the cd?

Yeah, and the R?

 

My guess is it's something to do with the key or mode the tracks are in, however I know jack shit about music theory, circle of fifs & whatnot.

there is no R key in music

[psn]

No 15 either.

[BobDobalina]

It was a hypothesis based in part on the roman numeral analysis of chords. R and several numbers obviously don't fit. Just spitballin ideas here guys.

[psn]

Just refinin' yer spitballs.

[BobDobalina]

refine away!

Exactly. I love it. Maybe the tracks are too repetitive, and he doesn't put enough variations to the sounds. But if you listen to the 2nd CD as rhythmic/meditative music, then it's perfect. And you should hear it live : i saw him last year, and he mixes all of those tracks, and it's very progressive and mind-blowing.

 

You can clearly hear that he refined is formula since Astrobotnia, in order to achieve the purest sound and the most efficient compositions, by learning music theory, the use of analog gear, mixing/mastering, ect... I am really eager to hear what's next :)

Maybe the Roman numerals have something to do with this (from the ovuca.com site): http://www.aleksiperala.webspace.virginmedia.com/inspiration.html

 

Just guessin..

[sidewinder]

They really put a lot of work into that artwork. It's amazing.

If only they'd done the same for the design of the back track listing.

Bingo!

 

And the R is for ring modulation?

Very cool! And good disclaimer on your part!

[psn]

The numbers signify how many equal intervals each octave has been divided into.

[Guest bitroast]

ahhhhhhh.

this second cd is hitting all the right spots. i've been craving some nice repetitive meditative ambient dance music quite like this^-^

[mrmegaman]

cd 2 is lovely just nice sweet down tempo rephlex.

number 7 is the tits and i just looked at the track name 'base camp' no wonder my stereo loves it.

keep up the good work boy

[noise]

masterpiece

Word, loving the 2nd cd - dark, moody, spacey aleksi is where it's at!

Unofficial video I edited together for Neptune. Such a dope album overall. Like it more than Part 1 I think... more cohesive and deep.
