in general the midnight sun 4 EPs were pretty poor, except for the last one. the 5s were ok and 6 is getting back to 4A

I had like 4 tracks from 6 that I thought were great. 

If I was just going to get one of the Midnight Sun albums, which would it be?

and ... who here has been to Finland?

Pick up all the “pay what you can” albums/eps now. And then go from there. I recommend paying 3.03. 8.08 or 9.09
 

I’ve been to Helsinki a couple times. 

lived in finland, loved it so much, want to move back

If you're going to buy, pick up 2A and 6.

6 is actually balling out of control.

Are we going to get another MS release tomorrow?

Id say MS4-1 (and yes, been in Helsinki and Turku)

0:36:28 19-63 = FI3AC2040140
0:44:59 21-05 = FI3AC2040180
0:50:48 20-49 = FI3AC2037130
0:55:20 07-31 = A track from ’Northern Lights’
1:01:13 22-19 = FI3AC2036030
1:05:51 21-90 = FI3AC2036020

So, Is "Northern Lights" the next album/series after "Midnight Sun"?

Expand  

I'm gonna go out on a limb and conclude that Midnight Sun has set.

And at some point we'll be seeing some Northern Lights...

Funny, since a midnight sun is a sun that didn't set

Wait do you mean "4 A" or "4 EP-1"

(lol)

Anyone who thinks the colundi-related material is all samey-like should go listen to Starlight 1-3 and then come listen to MS 1-6

4A

this one is really really great. brings me back to the golden era of IDM, so happy-making. tracks like this were why i came to this godforsaken site in the first place!

I'm really hoping someone with more ability than me makes a megamix of the MS series (besides the one already posted in this thread). So many fookin bangers.

Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete:

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah for the shopkeep! 

Track 9 (FI3AC2142090) is so fucking good.

This is a spotify playlist of the whole set of Midnight Sun releases. 128 tracks, 12 hours.

Please stop using spotify. That is all.

@chenGOD Yeah sorry about it being Spotify, its the only practical way I can think of to share playlists. I'm open to suggestions. Is there a playlist format thats shareable? I wish you could make playlists on Bandcamp.

Aleksi gets a lot of discussion in 'New and Upcoming releases' threads but I thought we could do with a thread on the 'music' forum for general AP chat. So have started one here, including a 3 hour Midnight Sun Highlights playlist:

(and I spent a while stitching together all the Midnight Sun covers not realising @cear had done it already)
