i don't want to upset but this has some stronk scando proggy psy vibes. think matenda or some s-range. This shizzle sounds amazing outdoors on the moors on a sunday morning....also great driving music
I am only vaguely familiar with those artists and unsure why I would be upset by the references, but can appreciate where you are coming from re. proggy/Scando vibes. If the album had been released on Swedish label Hypnus, who put out a lot of this kind of deep, pulsating techno, I would not have been at all surprised.
Also, I did actually think some of the sounds had an old school vibe when I first heard it, particularly between 2m30s and 5m30s, but having listened at least twenty times since then (new obsession, lmao), whatever it reminded me of remains stubbornly on the tip of my brain. I thought at first it might be
this, which is easily in my top three psy tunes of all time - start at 2m50s if you are pushed for time to get an idea of its own slow-burning vibe. It has that driving/throbby/cerebral thing going on that I really dig and is more about the cosmic textures than big melodies or fancy basslines. However, there is something else going on I just can't place, so I dunno. Maybe it will come to me during the next twenty listens.
Completely agree that this would sound amazeballs out of doors and/or on the road, especially in the small hours when you've expended all your bouncy energy and settled into a meditative groove or maybe at sunrise when those gorgeous, hazy textures open out like flower. Lovelovelove.
