Music reviews of Prima Materia
Music Review: The Recorded Conversions of Hyper-Intelligent Computers on Various Psychedelics
Rating: 5 Stars
The best way I can describe this music is pleasant, smooth, incredibly complex and very futuristic. With a blend of real instruments being played beautiful and high-detail, non-electronic sounding synthetics; its quite an different listening experience. Its a cross between what computers would say to eachother if they could hallucinate on psychedelics and dance music for aliens to listen to while they cruised the cosmos. The reason why I call it "pleasant" is because of the huge variety of electronic tones and beeps that pleasantly massage the ears. Theres no hard-hitting "boom-boom-boom" kicks here, just pleasant drum patterns to send you floating thru the air. And get this, on the inspiration list, Bluetech put Shpongle as the thrid music artist that influenced him. Great electronic music grown from great experiential
psy-trance.
Bluetech is smooth in the sense that none of the songs contain harsh,
rough tones found in artists like Aphex Twin.
The bass is so smooth that if you close your eyes, you feel like your floating on top of smooth and gentle clouds of low frequency notes. Great examples of smooth tracks are some of my favorite tracks, the first three on Prima Materia. They sound like what a profound psychedelic experience would sound like in a digital, high-tech, ultra-future format.
By far the best way to describe this amazing type of techno is that its incredibly complex. The amount of
detail to the stereo effects simulates sounds flying in your mind, swaying from left to right between your ears.
There are so many different-sounding instruments, both synthenic and real, that have been cut-up, filtered, warped, slow-downed or somehow modified with very futuristic-sounding, high-quality special effects. However, I do admit the sounds do get a little werid, even for me. For example, listen to "White Magnesia" at time 2:43-3:00 and you'll know.
The beats and tones seem to randomly appear out-of-nowhere and yet it still has proper rhythm and consistent patterns. It is unpredictable music, hard to see whats going to appear next on the audio horizon. For me, the more complex a song is, the psychedelic it becomes. The song named "Burning Waters" is by far the most psychedelic song on Prima Materia. If you like using psychedelics, then listen to this song at your peak and it will launch you into another dimension. This song is also the only song I've heard which uses a wooden frog rasp as part of the song. When you rub the back of the woodenso frog, it has a und like when you click your tounge on the roof of your mouth. It sounds Very cool and its quite appropriate for the song.
This album is very special to me so I only listen
to it while on psychedelics, at night inside a dark room, or other special moments in time.
Its Mystical Techno for Magical Thoughts.
