Trans4m, Sublunar Oracles

 ·  Posted: 02.03.2011 - 10:23  ·  #1
Does anyone else know this rare, but classic album from 1992? I've loved this album since I got it, years ago...


Here's what they say on Discogs (where the CD is priced very high...):

Some absolutely stunning ambient on this buzz release !!! The compositions are an excellent blend of ambient, dub, with some tribal and trancey elements in a very unique style. Each single track is a pure gem made of very subtle electronic sounds and beautiful melodies. I suggest to play it at a low pitch to better capture its soaring atmosphere. Just listen to it on headphones and you will be absorbed into its very spacey laid back ambience !

Yes, I have both this one, and the other disc, "Clustered". And I agree - both are excellent examples of early-to-mid 90s post-dance electronica where then contemporary 'dance' styles merged into some unique new hybrids.

Other comparable recordings would be some of the Barramundi releases (such as Nemesis's "Xcelsior" and Man-dello), Optic Eye's "Light Side of the Sun", Nu-era's "Beyond Gravity"...man, just thinking about it, there are literally dozens of examples.

:lol:
as ubikman mentions there was a fare bit of music in this style at the time.

I would have no reason to buy this CD @ $100-300 or the second one "Clustered" being offered @ $300-400.

well, I found a mint copy of this for $50.
See what's it about when it arrives, thanks for posting the query, I never knew about these releases.
