Really digging this! Its proper deep has a nice dark psychedelic edge and its driving. Ticks all the boxes in my book.

Anakoluth - Dwelling In the Void EP (Ektoplazm Records) 2008 (EKTEP03WAV)
Anakoluth is a talented and sensitive person from the mountains of Zurich, Switzerland. He started his journey of music production when he was only 15 and fell in love with the psychedelic tones of trance music in 1998. For many, Anak should be well known outside his musical project Anakoluth as a friendly and warm moderator on one of the world’s largest PsyTrance forums, Isratrance.com. Here he has spent year’s geeking when he’s been in need of creative inspiration and has helped peers find their way through a massive portal of information. In 2004 he got his very first official release on the fairly unknown compilation, Enginewitty released by Cosmic Conspiracy Records based in New Zealand. After this he managed to release a couple of single tracks on VA’s while building a dedicated fan base around the world. In the year of 2008, he decided to release a carefully chosen number of space travel tracks on this very EP released for free for all to download and listen on Ektoplazm.com (here you can choose all medias like mp3, WAV and FLAC to download, free of charge + It's possible to buy the release on a physical medium)
Album-Artwork: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1486723
1. In A Nutshell (9:20) 132 BPM
2. Achilles’ Heel (9:04) 130 BPM
3. Feinter Les Paupières (9:01) 137 BPM
4. Delphic Haze (9:33) 134 BPM
1. In a Nutshell starts out eerie with some indications of universal travel in sadness. The beat goes progressive and the mood floats into space mode. The affects echoes in delight with enough voids for them to unfold their crystal crisp sound and image. It’s really nice to be inside this wide open space where the smallest of sounds have enough space and patience to float around and pass you. It slowly builds with more elements being added, never going maximum, only cruising in chilled paprika with a couple of clever samples of the King of infinite space.
2. Some minor hints of summer breeze, or the breeze left by a powerful comet as it has journeyed on into the universal infinity. Calm and... Sorry, my player shuffled to a Solar Fields track, and the track name was by my surprise ‘Breeze’. Ok, back to the king of infinite space, Anakoluth. Dwelling in the Void’s 2nd track, Achilles’ Heel continues the deep and firm bassline indicating together with the open space effects that this EP’s major sound force is subtile and carefully chosen soundscapes of crystal imagination. It’s a calm and sort of creepy track because of the unknown feel of what’s about to happen. It works itself up in slow progressions, taking its precise time to build and add detailed yet minor layers of wisdom to come. Some melodies of sort are added to the travel and it for sure manages to surprise with its melody play and overall skeptical and exiting emotion.
3. The fake eyelashes has an almost irritating string-thing going on, but it holds its ground as the tempo is raised and the aggression in the progression is raised to a new lever for the Dwelling in the Void EP. This track feels more like a stomper and for sure follows the Anakoluth recipe of patience and growth in perfect arrangements. Effects are nibbling and a new element of tribal drums is introduced with a warm and welcoming smile. More space-like sounds make sure we’re not forgetting we’re still in a space like place of travel and comfort. Everything feels so subtle and careful, and then Anakoluth put’s his keyboard to good use with a melodic piece that swings over the tribal drums to perfect its image into something mystical and almost angel-like with sharp weapons of defense to the feel of disco and glam before it with a drastic stop, ends.
4. Last track Delphic Haze is still in a progressive psychedelic trance mood with effects that compared to the former tracks feels less spacey and more like moving towards a destined planet of unknown mysticism. The arrangement of sounds is packed tighter, but not too tight to lose its Dwelling identity. A more ragged synth piece is introduced to compliment the feel of bursting through an alien atmosphere to settle down on a newly discovered planet of hope and dreams. Great stuff, though the landing could have been felt more complete instead of just fading into nothing and ending with you craving for more imagination.
Recommendation: Anakoluth’s debut EP on Ektoplazm.com is something very special, it’s not overly complex at all, yet it’s fine-tuned with the smartest and most comfortable details effecting around in playful maneuvers which takes some intelligence to pull through. The overall feeling throughout this space landscape is about deep minimalistic space journeys with some melodic parts here and there. The old-skool progressive feel is perfectly intact with a special charming touch revived by Anakoluth’s space-brain. I’ve enjoyed this EP on a couple of occasions and one of the better experiences I’ve had with it on the stereo was while taking a longer car drive up to the wide mountains of Norwegian Troll landscapes where mushrooms these days (Late-summer, start of autumn) grow like rays of sunshine imitating newly baked buns of moonshine.
I would also like to tip my hat to the mesmerizing artwork by Alexander Synaptic, it really shines and reflects the musical content with perfection!
This EP escalates and evolves in the gentlest manner, building nicely from the first to the last, telling a story of a journey experienced in ones mental imagination. The total sound is suited best at night for this is night-time spacegressive music with a deep soul and a nifty firm walk that plays along a trail of less is more with cold space-like hypnotic beats pushing it all forward in floating sceneries.
8.2/10

+ Wav on the Ektoplazm site ..
And da-daa, a review of it has been posted  http://forum.isratrance.com/anakoluth-beyond-reach-ep-cronomi-records/9-153026 I tried to search for it by name and title, but found no review. So if there is a review of it, don't blame me, blame the search. And please, move this thread's content to the already existent review thread. I would do it myself but I'm not a review moderator, hint hint, Pavel ^^

Guys, calm your nipples down a little, ok? No need to get overly excited, Ok so it's a funny sentence (really, that funny?) and Zurich is defiantly a world capital city with other landmarks than just the mountain it lays on. It's got some pretty hefty lakes as well! It’s very unimportant to the music but that’s the words that came out of my mind as an intro to the review - down to my fingers and over to the text program. The music itself is really something special and I hope the following words of my above review displays that, je. I’m enjoying some sounds from this album almost each day, and they grow on me like a friend. Hope more and more people will open up their ears to the sounds of Anakoluth and it would be very kool if a record label came and offered to release a whole CD of Anakoluths journeys! – Have no idea if that is something Roman wishes for, but it would be well deserved either way. Thank you Roman, Ektoplazm and other record labels out there who dares to follow a rough road of releasing free music to the crowd! *thanks
PS. Do yourself a favor and DL both this and the Beyond Reach EP, and burn them on one CDr and put it in your car stereo!
