:: Our review ::

First impression: As many of you, I was waiting for this release since "In search of a meaningful moment" anxiously. When finally I put this cd on, there where some "standing out songs" which caught my attention suddenly, and others which simply deserved to be changed to the next track. I was not dissapointed though, it just didnt feel me up in the first moment as his 2nd cd did.

2nd Impression: Recommendation to all listeners; use good headphones. So I did, on a day there was nothing to do but to relax. When one has the ears adjusted to the moment, one can achieve a better perception. This cd suddenly changed, heard it from start to end several times. Its just great. Songs like Zero deegres managed another level of emotions.

Final Commentary: Well, I would like to think of this cd as shulmans third part of a story. It is not about judging which of his three works were his major standouts, or about feeling dissapointed or dilusioned. Each cd is a complement of each other. "Soundscapes and modern tales" was tribal, ethnic based, the initiations of humans to music. "In search of a meaningful moment" was like the blooming of emotions through the use of music. "Random Thoughts" is a collection of ideas, I guess he tried to fussion the music foundations we have established this days, and he added his part. A hybrid of "our" music and the "music". For example jazz blended with shulmans touch. I guess its the next step he had to take, and it fits perfectly. Get it, hear it, love it.

OK- new Shulman- I waited much for it- and waited now more than a week and about 30 times listening before I am writing. With shulman it is good to wait because you keep getting new suprises all the time.
The verdict so far is that it is true this is not a proper album like they said in aleph zero, but it is full of great music and most important of all it is maybe the only release I heard from the psychill ppl that really shows signs of creating a new style of music. This is the new Shpongle- not because it sounds like shpongle, but because it doesn't!!! New, fresh, different than anything else- a fucking brain shaker!

OMG bangs your head right from the start with Omar Faruk singing out of his last album alif. what a trip, man! Brrrrrrrr........ Then it's Bluetech together with Shulman- it took a while for this to sink in- just beautiful piece with idm touch to it. Then it's one of the highlights of this album- Zero Degrees- this is something never heard before- really- close the lights, close your eyes, pump up the volume in a good system or headphones and you will understand what I'm talking about- these guys are fucking geniuses!!! Then Shulman manage to save this annoying Sub6 song and turn it into something nice, which deserves a prize! The remix to Enteogenic is worth it just for that Hamond solo in the end- I felt like I listen to the Doors again- I swear. Ya Bouy remix I have on Natural born chillers, but it's good to hear it again here. This was the first sign of the new Shulman style for me and it belongs here musically. Look Honey it's the Vitties!!! Fucking hell- what did these guys do here- where did they get this one from? Insane and genius is all I can say- listen well- it will make knots in your brain and it's also funny as hell- especialy with the title... hehe... Then I Dive- tons of emotions- and that funky sound slap in the middle- who says tracks with singing have to be kitch or obvious??? last track is an amazing ambient piece with oriental flavour- just beautiful- and then start again...

This is a lesson in originality- a lesson in sound- a lesson in good music- a lesson in psychedelia- Thanks god for Shulman and what I really want to hear now is the next shulman proper album- if it follows what we have starting here- then... well... drool..drool...
Only bad thing I can say about this album is that it doesn't always flow- I would change the order of tracks a little maybe.
