This is a little out of the ordinary, but worthy of mentioning to this crowd. Unique combination of Dubstep old school and wobble, orchestral ambient, modern classical piano and guitars, with some ethnic too (latin and folk) and glitch-idm

I wouldn't post it if I wasn't really impressed with the envelope pushing going on here.

I know, I'm not even a fan of dubstep, but I bought these guys album after listening to their bandcamp page several times.

I'll be doing an interview with him on chillbase. I think the caliber of this crossover is an important moment in the evolution of dubstep, because it's taking something that had become boring and repetitive and gives it a whole new life. I also think the implications for psychedelic chillout are big too.

This is excellent! A great blend of styles. I hope you're even partly right about the impact it might have. I do like some dubstep, but it seems like 95% of it is just very simplistic loops that someone cobbled together in a few minutes so they could get a song uploaded. I'm thinking this might be a little too different for a majority of the dubstep crowd, but that's just my assumption.  |

Hence the strong crossover potential and helping carve out a new niche between chillout and dubstep.
Think about it, as a chillout dj, you could start the night with more ambient and downtempo tracks, move to psy-dub then to stuff like this. blip.fm/itranscendence |

For sure. In the right hands these tracks could open people's minds to a genre they may not have had interest in or been aware of. My pessimism is directed at those "dubsteppers" who just like fat wobbly grimy simple loops that make up most of the results of a dubstep search on Youtube. I'm think that these tunes might be too cerebral and not hard hitting enough for that crowd.

Perhaps I'm just being an elitist bastard. |

No I think you have a point, that is what some of them want, but some of them want something new and different, but still familiar.

I'm going to give this a bump because Lauge and myself were just talking about how good this album is.

Excellent remix! Though I'm still trying to sort out the video. Looks like they start out making it look like it's a fluoride experiment and it's actually one of the military LSD experiments from the 60s? |

Yeah it was MKULTRA, the CIA's mind control experiments. They administered large doses of LSD in water to subjects. And used psychological attrition to try and break them mentally, especially with the subjects who people wouldn't really question (homeless, prostitutes etc). So the dudes entire flying experience is all in his head or possibly something he actually did prior to being enrolled in the experiment.
The little girl picking the flower that has the reflection of a hydrogen bomb go off in her eye was Nixon's fear-mongering campaign commercial in 1964. blip.fm/itranscendence |

Ah. Cool. Thanks for the backstory on it. I knew there were LSD experiments, but not the specifics. Read up on MKULTRA. It's both sad and shocking.  Either way, great song/video combo. |
