yeah, therefore we should also be able to label each track. I mean, this album combines astro-autonomic with hints of post-autonomic

So, Open Spaces is delicious. Hot prominent basslines are always good.

What do you guys think of ASC's releases this year? I only listened to a few tracks off Time Heals
All
but it sounds very promising and immersive (if you are searching for it there is a copy on
rutracker... do I get a ban if I say that??? just kidding, although I hope I won't :P)

I gave many more listens to Machine Love, which is thoroughly enjoyable.

This guy is so prolific. And I reiterate that the drums and the basslines on Open Spaces are
soooo danceable :D

Although THA sounds great, ambient still isn't my cup of tea. That being said, some moments on disc 2 are more attention-grabbing than I expected. Machine Love, on the other hand, is almost perfect (with the last track being slightly less interesting). Solenoid, Polemic and Electron/Proton are great, too.



A new EP is coming in september and previews sound promising: it's clear he's refining the genre-bending style of Out of Sync.

I finally gave Time Heals All a few proper and complete listens. It took me some time before totally delving into it. Conclusion: I could potentially like it as much as The Astral Traveller. There might be no drums, but rarely have I heard something so immersive and mysterious.

Nothing Is Certain is awesome as well. Still need to check out Out Of Sync and a bunch of his EPs/singles.

I wrote to ASC on his Facebook page. He answered me. Seems like a great, nice and humble guy.

Took me about 4 solid days to get through everything of his. I'm only missing one 12" from him now

What is the 12" you're missing Dev? (I'm curious)

I got the rutracker discog, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't 100% complete.

Hahaha yeah, they should update it every season or so!

I mean if we recount, this year only he released Time Heals All (which is already massive by
itself), eight EPs/singles (including the groundbreaking Machine Love, as well as
Programme 01 + Programme 02), and I'm not talking about compilation tracks (Samurai Horo Scope + Subtitles Sine Language comps on which he has one track each).

And the guy runs a label.

God damn!
