I just drove for a distance of 300miles on the highway - having this album on repeat. When I arrived, I felt like I traveled through space & time. Best purchase I made this year... probably the best album I bought in years. Easily one of the best records I listened to in my whole life. It's as close to perfection as it gets. Favorite tracks: Nattväsen, ~42°, Loss Aversion /// CBL... thank you for this piece of art, it gives me peace of mind.

I have the same feeling about their music. It has to be something about frequency. Some music just sounds good and we like it but some triggers the very core of our consciousness. I guess there is music for the mind and music for the soul. And CBL music is for both :')

@alexanderwicked8990

It's not only frequency - it's rhythmic delays and their hallmark liquid SFX, as well as pads/drones washed by the long reverberation. Also they use subtle side-chaining on their bass lines quite a lot that creates rhythmic pump feeling.

@coldsideofthesun

Same. I think it's because CBL isn't afraid to bring the warm feelings of the new age genre into their music. So it's kind of dark and atmospheric, yet warm, glowy, smooth. It's what sets them apart from anyone else and why I've loved them for so many years.

I am growing into being a fan of Carbon Based Lifeforms! They make music with electronic instruments, giving them a tremendous sound pallet to make acoustic paintings. They create symphonies of sound paintings.

CBL is my main dream inducing music. Always put them on before sleeping, opens the door to land of Morpheus.

Hearing the opening synth melody on this album immediately removes me from my current state. There's something very simple, but transcendental about CBL's music that I can always count on to take me into a different space.

Of course, I automatically clicked when I saw an unknown CBL. And now a few minutes in, it just hit me: THIS is new!!! OMG I love it, well of course, right?

After the explosion of electronic ambient dub and ambient hypnotic bands of the 90s, the age had passed and muzik peaked in that Genre. Then came Carbon Based Lifeforms.

It's impossible to listen to just one track on this album. When Accede starts I'm unable to stop listening to change to any other track. This is the best electronic music album I've ever heard, and one of my favorite albums ever, no matter the genre!

I dunno about Sweden, but I'm Danish and our languages are similar but spoken with different accents. In Denmark we would say/write "Natvæsen", and it would mean "night creature" or "night being"...and listen to the voice in the track; "they were friendly creatures"..."Væsen" is mostly used for weird beings, it has a negative vibe to it when it's used correctly...Not really a word that is used much anymore either.

^Mythical being is a better word. At first I saw a being like a troll when I saw the word again. But I shouldn't have said "negative vibe". Væsen is more like "an unknown". But by old standards the unknown could probably often be seen as a potential threat. Like we still use væsen when we refer to a space alien here in Denmark; Rumvæsen. Or since "Ronja Røverdatter" is a swedish story, maybe CBL are thinking about "Rumpenisserne". hehehe

This is one of the most perfect albums I’ve ever listened too. I can listen to it cover to cover and it never gets old. Its a masterpiece of the genre.

"Loss Aversion" (1:02:35) is particularly nice. It's the kind of music that for me evokes the idea of a hopeful and livable future.

Refuge was always my favourite CBL go to album for the first two tracks over the 12mins but I've found myself scrolling to 43:00 to 49:00 on Derelicts, love this section. I'm very impressed with this album, many thanks for sharing, nice wee natural high listening to this while working away in office.

Nattvasen gives me 'Easily Embarrased' vibes. Great!

this is probably the best album ive hear from these guys, freakin awesome

the intro... is just insanely good, like here you go into the neighborhood of the universe...

You know how good ambient music is when you are so lost in your process/monologue, you don't even notice that you notice it, and that it is quietly helping you stay in your focused flowstate and get stuff done. This is why CBL. much like Stellardrone, and H.U.V.A Network are so awesome. :)

The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can’t control it. You approach the turnstiles and know that when you get there, you have to give the man two dollars or he won’t let you inside. But when you get there, everything goes wrong. Some angry rotarian shoves you and you think ‘What’s happening here? What’s going on?’ And you hear yourself mumbling… ‘Dogs fucked the Pope… no fault of mine.’ Ether is the perfect drug for Las Vegas. In this town they love a drunk. Fresh meat. So they put us through the turnstiles and turned us loose inside.” -Raoul Duke
