I am more into the chilled side ofpsychedelic music/ trance and this is an amazing album from this artist. I don't know much of their previous stuff, but as far as a 'chill' album goes, this is a definite addition in any psy chill/ dub collection. A quick description of tracks I like best:
1. Tuned Mass Damper - electro, 135bpm (but doesn't feel it), floaty background sounds, synth sounds - nice. (Reminds me a bit of Bluetech)
2. Pharoah - as the name suggests - been to Egypt? Belly dancers? That's it - great track - funky - addictive - makes you want to shake - aliens in the background.
3. Lo-ride Sloucher - glitchy sounds, aliens. Good track.
4. Flippity Flippity - Jazzy sound, double bass?, piano, sax/trumpet? ... Read More:

A wonderfully mixed style album. Bouncy, moving and with the normal Eat Static voice samples to make you smile like an idiot while on public transport.
An added bonus was to find Steve Hillage adding to several tracks on the album (It never ceases to amaze me how often I find him on albums that I buy - but then again I first listened to him on the Gong releases, so maybe I have been following his music tastes for the last 20+ years.
Eat Static goes to the places that the Chemical Brothers could have done.
My current favourite album of 2008.

Back to earth is yet another fantastic album to emerge from the mind of the genius that is Merv Pepler. I first heard this being performed at the glade festival (2008) and was amazed at the strength of the sounds and basslines....after hearing it live, I rushed off to buy a copy and have been listening to it loads ever since.
The album is full of diverse sounds and a variety of styles that demonstrate how gifted Merv really is. Indeed, some favourites include "pharaoh" (crying out to be used for a film soundtrack!), "epoch calypso" (very latin-esque, complete with a heavy killer-but-also-subtle bassline!) and "valley of the moon" (pure floaty eat-static genius!). What strikes me about the whole album is the density of the sound - lush soundscapes, ... Read More:

When you look at the album cover, you think it's going to be a follow up for De-classified. All the indicators are there - a spaceman/robot with a strange tool in his hand and a crashed rocket. Turn the album over and next to all the song titles, instead of the length of each track, you have the BPM. This is your first indicator that things are different. There are a couple of fast ones with 135BPM and 125BPM, but most are under 100BPM.
It kind of has a feel a bit like Crash & Burn, but at the same time very different (and in my opinion much better - I was never that keen on Crash & Burn and In the Nude). The title Back to Earth is a very good one, after you have listened to it. You have just come back from a alien fueled mission (De ... Read More:
