Cybernetika returns to Ektoplazm with Colossus, an extraordinary full-length album fusing psychedelic trance and drum ‘n bass with futuristic science fiction atmospheres. Following on the enormous success of last year’s The Scythe Of Orion, which was declared the best free psytrance album of 2010 by Ektoplazm visitors, and building on the genre-bending experimentalism of Atropos (2009), this album delivers exactly what Cybernetika fans have been waiting for: epic storytelling through innovative electronic music. As with his previously releases, Cybernetika has written an epigraph to situate the album within a thematic framework: “As all-consuming waves of entropy were reaching our galaxy, mankind was forced into a desperate battle for survival. With discovered technologies far beyond our understanding, we were able to construct a last bastion against a rapidly dissolving universe, right in the center of our galaxy: The Colossus, a gigantic, artificial shield of protection, preserving stability of space itself. With the Colossus, we can defeat our own destiny…” Track 6 (Humanity: Static) originally written and produced by Vortech. Mastered by Kri @ Audiovalve. Artwork by Stefan H�rlemann.

That's some serious bpm right there.

It's drum 'n bass. 175bpm is standard.

The second part of "Close your eyes" is amazing

ok only read the psychedelic trance part and thought that's some furious psy trance.

Album of the year. Devoid Of Gravity is ridiculous. Blows Atropos out of the water, and I loved that album.

Downloaded after looking at the reviews. This is really fucking good. And I hardly ever listen to dnb, lol.

Thank you!

I'm really glad about the positive responses

I have to thank Basilisk for hosting this one on Ektoplazm, Stefan for the kickass artwork and Kri for the outstanding mastering!

The next release will be a package with tracks that never were released "officially". Keep your eyes open

And thank you for the music. Especially giving it away for free.
