Phoenecia - Echelon Mall

Mentioned in top article here. They tend to tease releases for years so don't get excited yet.

"a collection of works for film & gallery exhibitions"

..sound bit too good, doesnt it?

"An alternate reworked 20 minute version of Smother appears on Phoenecia's Echelon Mall, a collection of works for film & gallery exhibitions."

I have failed to get on the Phoenecia train. In 1997, "Randa Roomet" sounded ok to me. When "Brownout" came, I couldn't help but be so bored; believe me, I've rinsed several times since because there is a universal "Brownout" worship on WATMM and I needed to be sure. I bought Castillo's "Expect More From A Past Life" and ran into the same problem. It's just that other people do such dynamic and experimental electro like Alpha 606, Aux 88, Arpanet, and even Quaristice that I have a hard time matching Phoenecia up to it. Can I be helped?

If you don't like Brownout there is no hope for you.

I've yet to hear much from Phoenecia, but the little bit I have heard was some really good ambient music...this is on my list now.

That was shit. It was shit before the electrocuted dog but it somehow went even further downhill. Amazing in its suck, really.

i haven't managed to watch more than a minute of it!

this would be fantastic release, just to think about "a collection of works for film & gallery exhibitions". thank you kind people

i would say to just keep listening to brownout, on repeat. actually arpanet is a reasonable comparison, but brownout is in its own little subgenre; the trick, maybe, it to immerse yourself in the album art

austere, but, very very impressive

has this been out for a while? I see it on ___.cd from 2008.

all Phoenecia, remixes, solo stuff, Soul Oddity....is amazing!

Justkeeplistening!

is there any actual release information for this? date, label?

where the hell do I get this?

w_a_.cd, for example.

pbn is on point. it's dark and atmospheric, but really good. I'd say less "beat-driven" than brownout.

scary, but good.

salvatorin: I have it shared on soulseek, my username is thehauntingsoul

also, this album is fucking insane. Probably one of the best dark drone/ambience i've ever heard

How can one get this album in a less thieving-pirating-scumbagssssss kind of way ?

as far as I know there is no legitimate way to get it but I could be completely wrong so don't quote me on that. I think the deal with Echelon Mall is that it was finished in 2008, but they are waiting to release it for some reason or another.

whoop whoop it is on itunes now

This is just the kind of austere, alien music that I needed right now.

I have to say that I am utterly enthralled by this album. I've been reading the book 'Accelerando' as I listen to this, and every track is mixed with immense amounts of cosmic realizations. I've come to associate all of the tracks with bizarre, futuristic scenarios. I keep thinking of groupminds and foglets and matrioshka brains while I hear these beautifully adamant pieces of music.

YES YES YES As Pergillius

this album didn't do much for me, i think im just REALLY picky when it comes to droney ambient music. probbaly not the fault of Phonecia
