GENERAL INFORMATION ===================== Album: Interloper Artist: Carbon Based Lifeforms Year: 2010 (this is the 2015 remaster) Genre: New Age / Electronic / Downtempo / Ambient / Acid DESCRIPTION ================== Carbon Based Lifeforms is a Swedish ambient duet, playing sophisticated electronic music. Although many of their tracks are pretty dynamic, it’s definitely not the kind of music you can shake your body to; I’d say, it’s more suitable for intelligent contemplation, meditation, or creative occupations like writing or painting. Carbon Based Lifeforms’ fourth album, Interloper, was released in 2003, and is an ideological successor of the previously released World of Sleepers and Iridial EP albums; for this reason, Interloper’s first track is marked as #24, not #1. Anyways, Interloper is worth listening to. Its mood changes gradually, but never contradicts the general direction in which the music flows. Starting with meditative Interloper and Right Where it Ends, the album then moves to cheerful and dynamic Supercede and Central Plains. Init marks a point of turnover, where the album suddenly shifts to melancholic notes, which are also notable in Euphotic and Frog. And I especially enjoyed M. Just listen to it, the motives of solitude and something higher pour out in a goosebump-inducing finale as a tender female vocal. The crescendo then fades down, and through a sad and contemplative 20 Minutes, the album comes to its end with a calmly-optimistic Polyrytmi. Technically, the album is fascinating. Its minimalistic sounds and deep, low frequencies are especially great if you listen to them on some decent headphones (I used my old Skullcandy Cassette). However, vocals in M and the child’s voice in Init seem to be contrasting with the rest of Interloper, which is entirely instrumental, and thus makes these generally nice tracks sound like if they were taken from another album. This is, perhaps, my only qualm with the album. Interloper is definitely worth listening to. If you are all alone, and feel like simply letting yourself be, turn Interloper on. https://academichelp.net/samples/academics/reviews/music/interloper.html FILE INFORMATION ===================== Number of Tracks: 10 Total Duration: 1:14:57 Total Size: 768 MBs (including scan, m3u, spectrums, and txt) Parity Archive: Yes, 7% Ripped By: NMR (this is web flac) Files Created on: NMR (this is web flac) Ripped With: NMR (this is web flac) Encoded At: lossless, FLAC / [24 BIT] 44.1 KHz ID3 Tags: Yes TXT Created: 1 July 2016 Tracklist --------------------------- 01) Interloper 02) Right Where It Ends 03) Central Plain 04) Supersede 05) Init 06) Euphotic 07) Frog 08) M 09) 20 Minutes 10) Polyrytmi POSTING ===================== Reposting Rules: Please wait at least 48 hours before requesting additional pars or reposting.
