Last LP 'Circulation'

The first two tracks are from our last album Circulation, which we worked on from 2013-2015 (but never made it as a full album). The tracks show the new direction the band was heading. Enjoy :-)

REVIEW - Cosmic Spring, First transmission

'This studio album is another great discovery through search of information on Korg MS-20. First You must see the YT videops created by Newueel, like Korg Monofive. After being amazed for week or so with playlist I've created from these videos, I've learned, the guy plays in a band. And they give concerts and they've recorded some albums (two at the moment I've discovered them). So, what is worth noticing in First Transmission? It is electronic music, conceptual, experimental, but also nice hummable tunes and persistent rhythm. All wrapped in classic synthesizer sounds. Album is a compilation of compositions by all members of the group, bound together by loose concept of more or less obvious references to human space flight. And also the quality of music is remarkable: Just from first notes of first tune we go into carefully woven sound carpet, that sounds familiar, but is not clear to which genre and style it should belong. Clearly not downtempo, but relaxing. Not dance, but the rhythm is quite upfront. Classic elektro sound, but not without some klang experiments. Heavily sequenced, but also with lots of sound and melody line created by live tweaking. I believe, the group had some fun in creating an album, which connects some surprising opposites, to produce something new in field, where we used to think, that we already have heard The Very Everything. No, we did not: we didn't have heard Cosmic Spring. Eight stars for taking me by surprise [++++++++--].'

REVIEW - Cosmic Spring, Live at Psy Picnic

'This concert, recorded in the summer of 2009, is a live unabridged recording to single concert given at psynami convention. There is some new material present, like Sunset buzz, but we also meet here again all tunes well known from studio album, so alike, but so different: this is the power of performing on stage, ability to do things a bit different each time and to express the immediate emotions shared with audience -- as explains one of the quotes used in Cray Circuits. All in all, when it comes to this kind of music, this is a pretty good live recording, caught exactly the energy of the performers and general mood of the event. I can feel it, even if there are no crowd noises mixed into tape. I expected some more of new material though. Therefore only seven stars [+++++++---].'
