Artifakt - Artifakts II download free

Thinking outside the box… With Artifakts II South African producer and Timecode Records boss Matthew De Nobrega takes psytrance a step further… And by step, I mean a quantum leap! Not since the release of Juno Reactor’s Labyrinth have I come across a concept album quite like this… None of the tracks have titles – they are all represented by symbols gathered from ancient cultures and more recent artefacts from the industrial era … Matt wanted to do something completely different from the vast majority of cheesy psytrance releases and eventually chunked out this concept-album… Thematically, musically and concept-wise it’s very far from what we’re used to within psytrance, but it totally works… Let me explain why… Sweet mother of Ghandi! I’m blown away! This is by far the most interesting thing ever released on Timecode – and easily kicks the living shit out of most psytrance releases in recent years. It’s *that* good! I’ve had this album for over a month now, and I keep finding new bits and pieces every single time I listen to it… I’m really, really, REALLY impressed by Matt’s production talents – is there any musical style this man can’t do? This will seriously be a benchmark album for years to come… Mark my words – this is musical history in the making! The whole concept with the symbols and crossover music might seem pretentious on paper, but believe me – it works! From the cryptic artwork to the well-produced, genre-bending music of majestic proportions… Get it - or get left out! Enough rambling for now – this is an essential album for any fan of intelligent, electronic music… Enjoy! Favourites: All (!!!!)
