Good down tempo french producers are very represented on this compil...
This compil is too mutch atmospherique for me...but for persons who likes this down tempo style , I recommend it
Cell (Floating Point Vol2_ Iboga "I recomend" + Phonic Peace : album coming soon) and kick bong (last album : A Cup Of Tea "I recomend to")are now famous element in trance/chill scčne, and Kali frogs should not be long to explode.
Their down tempo track are very originals, indus and electric phaze touch with a little beat touch of electronika style (big basic quality style without ornament)
Go go childrens of Chirac Country |

Just reviewed this CD at Morpheus:
STYLE
Ambient and downtempo psi-trance compilation with a mystical slant. Chilling Goddess runs through quite a range of styles within the genre, from the soft beatless introduction from Aes Dana, via the sitars and ethnic loops of Astral Waves into some darker, heavier pieces delivered with a ritualistic fervour. Capsula blends electronic shudderings and esoteric musings "...you see if you don’t remember anything, you don’t know you’re there. A person who has total amnesia and lived in a split second only, wouldn’t know he was there.” Tracks fade from one into the next - whispered or humming voices echo and reverberate among guitar loops and cycling synth patterns, clay pot percussion and finger cymbals blend with programmed beats, a few tracks are rhythmic yet almost without any percussive elements at all.
MOOD
Otherworldly astral chillout - dark in places, soft and caressing in others - but consistently emotive and evocative. Peak Records have put together an album that takes us on a journey through strange and foreign terrains - where unusual synth voices, tribal pulsings and rhythms, ethnic flutes and psychedelic sensibilities work together to send our imaginations reeling. The Peaking Goddess Collective perhaps typify what the album is all about with a track called You Are One, where a strong bass, ambient effects and a sampled voice are all swept up along with a smattering of world sounds into a sharp shiny package. From pumping global dub to spacey ambience, from organic waves to synthetic textures - Chilling Goddess delivers a deeply colourful ride for the mind ....."What I would like to see is the eye that knows me when I know that I know that I know”.
ARTWORK
Sky blue tones woven through with eastern motifs adorn the complete package, creating a balanced unity. The effect is one of looking into bright clouds where kaleidoscopic images form patterns of light - or afterimages on the retina. Inside the words: " - Equinox - Hope is the promise of spring - A petal blown - In the wind of new beginnings - Where day and night meet - In the quiet ecstasy of balance - The vision is alive - The heart is pure - The soul is free". White text, glowing against the cyan textures presents credits, thanks and a dedication along with track details and relevant web sites.
OVERALL
Chilling Goddess is the first of a series of chill out CDs planned by Peak Records. The album has been compiled by Master Margherita and mastered by Huby Sea and Vincent Villuis from Ultimae. This collection is less tightly bound than some, allowing for considerable variation within what is, nonetheless, a smooth flowing whole. The sparse piano tones of Electrypnose lean toward a new age sound, whereas Kickbong revel in a dark tribal groove with a throbbing bass and menacing chords, where circling voices fly through the air building to a ceremonial climax. Moments of more traditional melodic beauty lie among tracks that are seek to stretch the chillout formula beyond the usual bounds
WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM
Chillout listeners looking for something that strays purposely from the beaten track. The usual regular beats are there in places, but some less structured passages lurk among the shadows. If you enjoy psy-ambience with Indian and Middle Eastern flavours and you're not afraid of the dark - this might be the CD for you.

Well, it's the most interesting chill-out release for the moment. I don't have the favs, because all the tracks of it it's just perfect. Still, I picked up 4th track for most interesting IMHO.
Great job, my friend! More more more !!!

The stand out track for me was Capsula's 'I Know...' but I just wanted to say how much I also enjoyed the beautiful and mystical 'Shanti' as it seems the artist is monitoring the thread. Are there any other releases by Astral Waves? I also really liked the track featurng Alex Gray 'You Are One'. All in all I am pretty impressed with this first downbeat release from Peak and will be keeping an eye out for more in the future.

Hi FloatHippyFlower =)
Appreciated! thanx =)
I'm working on a concept album in which each track will reprezent a country and its main spirit...I already have one song for Canada with Amerindians chants, one for Natives from Australia, Shanti remixed to reprezent India, another one much more personnal to celebrate my son for a 3rd time (very uplifting melodic ambient), another one with Tibetan chants and the rest isn't finished yet.
Check out the Peace Therapy Vol.1 cd I released 3 trax + one rmx on this one under the 'dj Zen' name.If wanna a copy,let me know =)
I'm also working on another ambient album which will be much more closer to new-age/meditation with a lot of ethnicity =))
Peace
Psybient/Downtempo psytrance album "Mystique" released!

Thank you, that's really kind of you, I appreciate the tips. I tend to download music before buying (esp. individual tracks) but if I have any trouble finding any of the above samples of your work I may well get in touch. Your album sounds both epic and interesting. And right up my alley! Good luck with your music and I look forward to hearing future releases.
Love and Peace 3;~ |

it's only now i really feel the incredible energy of this release.
i just would like to give a special mention to
Cell vs Kalifrogz & Smiley Pixies ...
those tracks really touch my heart, the first is simply wonderful submarine sound, and the second very mysterious ...
can't say much words about, it's over words.
