Anyone know about the 3LP on Reload Ambient called Alchemy by
Psychonauts? I'm seriously tempted to just snarf it up, but the vinyl is
24.99... It looks interesting, but perhaps I can get a more upbeat
review/preview from anyone? I had also read in Jockey Slut a couple of
months ago that Dave Clarke was going to do (I couldn't believe my
eyes...) AMBIENT? Could this project be on this label perhaps? I'm not
sure where I saw Dave Clarke/Reload Ambient in the same sentence, but I
think it was possible...
Also, there have been a couple of posts 'smashing' (Motion) lately. I
know it's no 'Beyond The Minds Eye', but it is a start; especially coming
from the mind of Phil Wolstenholme. I think warp should look to the
Designers Republic & Think Electric for the second Warpvision video.
Perhaps viewers of (Motion) were a little put off my the digital
landscapes because of seeing them on the CD/Vinyl covers as well. I have
to admit, (Motion) didn't blow me away, but to finally see it come to
life was worth $14.99. I would have picked different tracks for the
video, though. It would be something like:
Scanner-'Vein'
The Black Dog-'Tahr'
Fugue-'Contrapoint'
Tanzmuzik-'Asia Indian'
Florence-'Off Balance'
Of course, not all these were licensed to the AI series, but the tracks
alone deserve some Basic Digital Manipulation...
