Press Release:
Ecstatic, shamanic, surreal, spiritual: Medicine Box may be Rich's most dynamic album yet, an adept blending of technology with the ancient. Cheri Chuang's wordless crystalline voice graces three songs, with traces of Persian inflection. Deep basslines hint at dub, while analog synth skitters and chuffs the outlines of a rhythmic grid, propelled forward by pulsing north African drums. Sustaining guitars bring a psychedelic edge. Cello and reeds echo plaintively in the distance. Rich's sparse piano adds droplets of modal jazz to this dark tea.
Haroun Serang: guitar on 1
Cheri Chuang: voice on 2,6,9
Edo Castro: bass on 3,6,9
Hans Christian: cello on 3,5,7,9
Slim Heilpern: chromatic harmonica on 4
Robert Rich: synths & MOTM, flutes, steel guitars, piano, bass, percussion
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Robert Rich at Soundscape, 2011.
Microphones by ADK, Blue, Josephson, Royer.
Custom Sustainiac lap steel guitar by Todd Plummer.
Software by Camel Audio, Izotope, Flux, Audio Damage, Galbanum.
Thanks to Jeff Taylor-Cross/Apple, Paul Schreiber/MOTM, Dan Brown/AudioSage, Chuck Oken/Noise Bug, +Dixie.
Edo Castro appears courtesy of Passion Star Records.
Cover art and design by John Bergin
PS: Thanks for the heads up Shahar ( Aleph Zero ) 
Sounds good. Hopefully will buy it soon.
Cheers !

Haven't heard any Robert Rich before, save for the odd track on a compilation - possibly only the Dark Room Beats one.
I like these three tracks that can be streamed.

Check him out. Bestiary is a good album to start with- borders on perfection. This guy is a true pioneer and released tons of music. A lot of interesting things to find there.
Still waiting for my copy.

I agree, and find it strange that this album doesn't get more attention here on this section of the forum.

How can you tell ?
I mean, did you listen to the whole album 2 or 3 times at least ?
Sometimes I listen to an album a few times, don't feel it, and then after a year or more I play it again and suddenly I just feel the magic.
Especially with this kind of albums, I think it's worth trying again even if one didn't feel it at first
Just my opinion.
Hopefully my copy will arrive soon.
Cheers !

Mh, I gave it several relistens, but .... well .. anyways, I`m loving lots of Robert Rich`s work, e.g. the Somnium-project.
Bodhisattva: The polar m-album isn`t my cup of tea either, but I found more then 10 other - for me - interesting albums in the forum and in your recommendations. Thanks a lot You even opend new horizons, especially IDMish way, which is superb. |

My pleasure man
Glad you like !
And thank you for uploading the good albums that a lot of us here love to youtube !
It's very helpful when I want to recommend some good stuff to people
I linked to your uploads a lot recently.
I don't want to open an account there at the moment, so it's good for me that you upload all that music.
Keep doing that if you can
CHeers !
