Ceephax - United Acid Emirates

http://www.planet-mu.com/discography/ZIQ255

anyone listened to this record yet? i’ve had it on repeat, i think its pretty good. one of the highlights has to be the humorously epic ‘commuter’, and the 80s emo of “new river company”, which sounds like you just completed Outrun. and of course the obligatory ‘camelot’ style melodies in between. the chris hulsbeck leanings of the castilian tracks are ace too. good album.

The album cover is hilarious
But yeah, its pretty great, I personally like Cedric’s Sonnet and Royal Lounge the best.

I love it !

It reminds me of the Bogdan Raczynski approach on Alright!, but in the Ceephax way. He has some kind of a gift with acid melodies and also kistch headfuck sounds. I think this album is his best in date, because I feel it more acomplished and coherent than his older releases. That’s how I’ve always thought about him anyway : a duality between genius (the genius of the ones i consider as the bests electronic musicians) and unaccomplished material. And this album sounds really accomplished !..

Music in general lacks of humour. Hopefully some releases like United Acid Emirates sometimes comes up. For the greater good !

Edit : my favorite ones are Sidney’s Sizzler, Life Funk, and Arcadian (considering Castilian as off-competition, as it was release sooner)

Will get it soon …
He’s one of those artists that you blindly buy his albums …( that was an awfull sentence )
For me he’s up there with the big ones , + having this splendid sense of ( tonge in cheeck) humor

I’ve had it on repeat as well. Purchased the Wav. download off Bleep!

Fuckin’ Emotinium II stuck in my head forever.

I allready love this album!!

I ordered it in my store :)

Whats your price? Might be a good reason to come by some day :)

super good album.

Thanks for he hint. Actually I like this record, pretty much my style of music.

I would also like to mention http://www.faroutmusic.net , a new spacesynth-record from a fellow finn. I will get my cd tomorrow.

Shit, I planned to go to Paris for the Autechre Oversteps tour the 20th of March. Too bad that Ceephax doesn’t play the same week-end as them…

I’m not sure yet, but there’s always a good reason to come by in my store!!

I assume he’s rather prolific but this is REALLY fast :

but it frustrates me that as with his other song called turrican, this bears no discernable relation to the game

haha excellent… :D

By the way you can listen to excerpts of Psychtapolis HERE

Sounds fucking good. Can’t wait to hear the full EP !
