I never comment on my own releases, but I'm also a fellow DJ, so had to comment. You have both Smile & Eggplant Week here that are not mellow at all and are quite jumpy. Both work well on the floor. Tested.
And thanks for the support.

On the copy I have - "Friends" is 1:25 long.
It's not the version that the sample on the AZ website presents. I can hear some of the missing part in the samples on psyshop, amazon and juno too.
So, according to amazon, psyshop, juno and AZ the length of "Friends" is 2:49.
according to cdbaby it's 1:25.
I definitely prefer the longer version !
So, what's the story here ?

The Album Version is a short Version of Friends , because its only there to connect between two tracks (the one before and the one after), It is a Part of a full Track - that you can buy digital...
Eitan felt it was a bit too psychedelic or Hardcore-strange for a Debut Album , but out of Love for that one piece the Album contains part of it and it fits pretty well. Its good to mess up your mind for a sec, when u r in the middle of diving in chill atmosphere...
BTW - If you still sisnt check this Album out... DO IT !
Have a Beautiful Day

Almost forgot I'd ordered this. Three weeks out and no show. I have _zero_ concern that I'll actually receive it, but I have tried to wait until it actually arrived before listening to it (ala "the old days"). I may give in and download a copy to hold me over until it arrives. |

STYLE
Electronic chillout and intimate ambient exploration. This album is a musical journey that progresses unself-consciously through some very personal musical territory, full of pleasant wonderment and unfettered by genre distinctions. Smooth beatless passages of synthetic drones morph gradually into lazy downtempo where the beats are muted yet crisp, pleasantly individual affairs. Rich sonorous flutes overlay sharp digital textures; dreamy guitars contrast musing speech samples; violin, piano and various voices broadening the sound palette. There is something of a retro feel among all the modernity here - I'm reminded of some of the better instrumental concept albums of the seventies with perhaps less emphasis on melodic themes and a greater opening for ambient space.
MOOD
Places I Miss That I Haven't Been To has a warm sense of ingenuous tranquillity running throughout. A relaxing exploratory nature with the unusual distinction of appearing un-influenced by trends within the field and the need to draw a specific audience. Eitan Reiter doesn't come across as trying to sound like anyone else or wanting to fill a specific niche. This album quickly establishes itself as a blissfully idiosyncratic meander through the moods and sensations of the artist, shifting form and character as the whim arises.
ARTWORK
Steeped in warm earthy tones Places I Miss That I Haven't Been To is a jewel case presentation with three panel fold-out insert. The various sections feature some hand drawn artwork as unique and unusual as the music itself: a leaf shrouded figure perched on the bough of a bare tree, the tree itself re-appearing silhouetted or overlaid upon textured surfaces. There is a tracklist on the rear and within, a third extended version showing writing and performance credits. Website details and contact information are present for both label and artist. Eitan provides a paragraph of explanation revealing the deeply personal approach taken in the telling of this story. There is a generous pair of paragraphs given over to relevant thanks - one from the artist, one from Aleph Zero.
OVERALL
Although Places I Miss That I Haven't Been To is presented as Eitan Reiter's debut solo album, it is by no means his first release: he recently enjoyed being half of Unoccupied for the album Everyday Life as well as having released a range or dance music under his own name, and psytrance under the LOUD project. This twelve track disc is delivered via Aleph Zero and shows that the label is happy to foster creative music that sits beyond the usual spectrum.
WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM
If you appreciate music that reveals a personality rather than conforming to a stylistic standard then this might well be for you. Meandering ambient downtempo for lovers of musical narrative that enjoy being transported. Try out the E-Flier if you want to get the flavour and read more info before purchase or else have a listen to the samples at Aleph Zero.
