Happy days, the MD just popped in the mail! I'll be celebrating Colundi instead of Christmas :)

 

 

Genuinely pleased that it arrived, noone should be without Colundi at Christmas.

It's been a Colundi Christmas for me, can't stop listening to the series.

just dont even come close to live up to the hype for me.

pretty average imo. I tried, but I dont find anything very good in this.

those releases are not easy but I also feel kind of overwhelmed by the amount of released material over the time. It's really a lot, and another way of selecting the tracks (more sparingly) might have been a better option imo. Still, there is quality to those releases and seeing them as experiments with this mysterious method he uses give them enough credit to me. Given how fast they come out they could be cheaper though.

The last one is pretty interesting because it shows more diversity somehow, and it could mean that the whole thing will keep evolving into something with a wider sound palette. Like elaborating on this custom scale thing and progressively opening to a bigger world of sounds. Quite exciting!

Has aleksi ever disappointed us before? He knows how to make music-- were in good hands

haven't heard any of these except for level 3, which I purchased yesterday.

how does everyone rank the levels? wondering which one to get next, as I really like 3.

they're all pretty good for different reasons.

really like 7, 3, 4 and 6... 1 and 2. and 5.

guess i'm going to have to buy them all then.

that's kind of in order btw of how I rate them.

Hey guys, love to find similarities here and there between different Rephlex artists.

The starting sequence of Colundi Sequence 3's first song:

Is identical, but with different sounds, to the first sequence of this Aphex 1993 live set:

:)

just got off work for the day -- thinking about marathoning all the colundi in a row.

I have to agree with this.

7 came close though, but I think this was just because it had the most variation track to track.

There are parts on 1 and 2 where I got goosebumps, really took me back to SAW2 drugged out listening sessions.

Yeah me too- 5 has some deep tracks that I like but 4 and 3 seem a little noodly to me

I love how each new level is more lush / luxuriant than the previous ones.

I'd rank them 7 > 6 > 3, then 4 > 1 > 2, and finally 5.

Same here, 1, 2 and 7 go together for me in terms of wow where does this come from, but 6 and 3 come very close.

What's wrong with level 5? Too low of frequency and drawn back for ya'll? Need to revisit 1 and 2, but 5 is Def my most played... it's straight up drone-soma. As someone already said, it's how i'd imagine the Earth spinning on its axis would sound like, or something...

It might sound like sacrilege but Aleksi should really take a couple months hiatus, some of us still have some catching up to do!

oh shit oh shiiiit... im assuming we don't send in orders yet? 'coming soon'

Wait... what ??

So Consul was right...

I'll probably have to draw the line here... I do have a couple of mates who collect a lot of this ol' stuff, so I have to ask before I pass on this, also depends on what the price for this will be...

i will never in my entire life be able to play a wire recording but i need it
