nice crafting, a few off moments, but the build and release is very well done - so that the whole mix kind of floats by, leaving its mark in your head. i liike . never expected to hear this kind of sound on TA, even with all the diverse tastes on this board.

if you ever post another set, ill grab it asap

Thanks for listening pozz and I'm overjoyed that you take an interest to this sort of EM I defo went a little overboard with tracks 9-11 and never got 13 mastered - perhaps it's a little grating. Will try and make another one soon!

I liked it, mostly because I haven't listened to any dark ambient in a very long time and like most of the 'experimental' genres probably should be listened too as a rounding of ones experiences with the electronic genre as a whole. Popular appeal? Probably not for everyone but most people are fairly conservative in what they like.

Posted by AlphaStarred on Apr-15-2008 01:02:

Thanks for listening. This is probably a long shot from popular appeal - I played it for a couple of friends and I'm not sure if they will ever come over again.

I'm intrigued, but the download keeps timing out for me.

That's odd...perhaps a busy server? If you like I can send it to you through MSN, if it still isn't working.

i had downloaded this quite a while ago but never got around listening to it until today, it's fucking awesome.

Posted by AlphaStarred on May-24-2008 19:56:

Thanks for listening man, glad you enjoyed it.

Great job, I finally got to listen to it and this is damn great stuff.
I wonder what the track around 24:00 is.

Better late than never, I meant to get this a while ago but missed out. Fixing that as we speak...

bumping this one. one of my favorite sets to be posted on this forum. ill up it again in the morning.

Posted by Domesticated on May-01-2011 06:38:

I'd like to listen, but the link is broken.

here it is:

not really music for the impending summer. which is to say that it is, but only if you like a little masochism here and there.

thanks

Oh man this is so good, I either really like this style of dark ambient or all the tracks are really good. Either way... I'd love a 320kbps or lossless verison, 160kbps is a bit low!

AlphaStarred stopped posting a long while ago. I bought the Sp@sms album from him on discogs and that was the last I heard of him. I don't even know if he has a copy of this set anymore, I had to upload it for him last time I asked for some IDs. the prospects for a higher-quality version are low

[[ LINK REMOVED ]]

Since this is such a nice (and rare for the genre, at least on tranceaddict) set I reuploaded it (mostly to link to a friend, but will post here too)

Posted by nefardec on Sep-08-2011 03:27:

downloading, thanks!

i like that this mix keeps popping up. if AlphaStarred ever logs back on, just to check what's going on, it'll be a gift to see all these responses.

classics float their way to the surface.

edit: it's even more interesting that it's a one-off set. as far as i know he only ever made one other, and that was an acid techno live pa, complete with distorted 808 drumlines and 303 wobbles. i don't have that one, before anyone asks. lost it when i lost my whole damn archive some years back. would be great if some else does, tho. so, anyone?
