│ ((= Info ==) │
│ │
│ Here comes the long awaited, challenging and aesthetically stimulating │
│ debut album from Swedish ambient duo Carbon Based Lifeforms. This space │
│ fantasy is a beautiful example of the crystalline textures and deeply │
│ moving melodies which a sound journey is capable of attaining in the │
│ hands of talented composers such as Johannes Hedberg and Daniel │
│ Ringstroem. │
│ Lilting synth compositions accentuate the acidic tribal ambient grooves │
│ to hypnotic/trancey effects, evolving into soft and more meditative │
│ moments without sliding into isolationism; all the tracks are crafted as │
│ aural explorations into altered and elevated state of consciousness and │
│ are excellent for drifting off into timeless reflections, orchestral and │
│ multilayered sounds for journeys into the vastness of inner landscapes. │

│ ((= Biography =)) │
│ │
│ Carbon Based Lifeforms are Johannes Hedberg & Daniel Ringstroem, both │
│ born in 1976 and lives in Gothenburg Sweden. They met in 91 and started │
│ playing around with Trackers on the Amiga in 92. In 94 they switched to │
│ PC's and teamed up with Mikael Lindquist and formed a tracker group │
│ called Bassment Studios. │
│ They released their tracks through various BBS's, the BBA Musical │
│ Storehouse being their WHQ (world head quarter). │
│ In 95, following Mikaels lead, they left the tracking scene and switched │
│ to midi. This led to the forming of Notch, mainly focusing on acid, │
│ techno and house music. CBL was formed in -96 as a side project to │
│ Notch. CBL later became the main focus of Johannes and Daniel while │
│ Mikael left and did various solo acts. CBL published their songs on │
│ mp3.com in -98, and was featured on the promo cd "103 best songs you │
│ never heard on mp3.com" wich led to some pretty nice downloads and album │
│ sales :) │
│ In -99 they teamed up with Magnus Birgersson(Solar Fields) to write the │
│ music for the swedish dancer Olof Persson's performance "Fusion". │

│ │
│ ((= Review =)) │
│ │
│ Here comes the long awaited, challenging and aesthetically stimulating │
│ debut album from Swedish ambient duo Carbon Based Lifeforms. Two tracks │
│ on "Fahrenheit Project #3" is all it took to pique my interest! This │
│ space fantasy is a beautiful example of the crystalline textures and │
│ deeply moving melodies which a sound journey is capable of attaining in │
│ the hands of talented composers such as Johannes Hedberg and Daniel │
│ Ringstr÷m. Lilting synth compositions accentuate the tribal ambient │
│ grooves to hypnotic/trancey effects, evolving into soft and more │
│ meditative moments without sliding into isolationism. All of the tracks │
│ are crafted as aural explorations into altered and elevated states of │
│ consciousness, and are excellent for drifting off into timeless │
│ reflections, orchestral and multi-layered sounds for journeys into the │
│ vastness of inner landscapes. There are compelling rhythms and deep │
│ space textures, and it is aural pleasure indeed to watch, listen and │
│ celebrate the development of this amazing label from France. Along with │
│ the recent Solar Fields CD ("Blue Moon Station") this is about as good │
│ as it gets! │
