Journey :: The Ripple Effect Part I

The full impact of Journey’s entrance onto Psy’s centre stage will not be known for quite a while yet but it is fair to say it will be significant, with an ever-expanding catalogue of contributions sure to ensure as much. Thus the title of his new digital EP, The Ripple Effect Part 1, is a fair encapsulation of his impact to date. For not only is Journey a musician of substance but so is the label he represents a force of nature. Free Spirit Records has not been around long but boy its influences are forever being felt farther and wider.

Enough though of the big picture, let us focus on the sound(s) of now. Just what has Journey plated up for your aural approval this time? Three booming tunes of sonic sumptuous blasting out over the sonic spectrum, grabbing and shaking you to core of your transcendental being, is just one description that could be applied. But that is only my own humble opinion, I suggest that you too tuck in, swirl and savour, then devour and see what you can sprout from the seeds of your satisfied soul.  And if you are lucky there may be seconds. Watch this space.

Monastic Squid :: Chromatophores

There are multiple questions that can be asked when you are presented with a Monastic Squid EP called Chromatophores, but the most likely will always be is it awesome? Well, the first clue is that it is on Free-Spirit Records. Need a second? Well, one of the tunes is co-produced with stable buddy Journey.

You want more? C’mon, the guy has history. Releases on Alchemy Records and Procyon Records and he has worked with Marcello (as M-Theory). Plus, if you were to ferret around in the London Psy underground for long enough what would you always come up? The Monastic Squid.

Surely you don’t need any more convincing? Just listen to it and realise that I would only be wasting yours and my time trying to do so. Trust me.

Solar Spectrum :: (R) Evolution of Consciousness

A little while back we said that life would be less interesting if there was no variety…   So, with this in mind, Free-Spirit Records proudly announces their second pure progressive release (R) Evolution of Consciousness, from Swiss maestro Solar Spectrum.

Not that previous Free-Spirit output could ever be described as one dimensional what with their dedication to bringing us beats and bleeps from around the world. And so their commitment to revealing all that is fabulous in psy-land is further proven with this new offering.

For those not in the know, Solar Spectrum is a one-man band featuring producer Ralph K. whose alter egos have included being one half of Rastaliens and all of Braincell whose tracks, albums and live shows still resonate with all those who have experienced them. Solar Spectrum though allows Mr Ralph K. to bring his psy-progressive and ambient side to the fore.  And now that he’s a part of the Free-Spirit family this greater expansion of his personality can be further nurtured for the benefit of all.

(R)Evolution of Consciousness shows how Ralph’s music became mature in these past years. The Album is a sequence of tracks from groovy to pumping, fm sounds accompanied by excellent riffs melodies all with atmospheric psy edges to then finishing with a chill-out track to complete the (R)Evolution of Consciousness journey.

So seek it now, the (R) Evolution of Consciousness is another step towards total fulfilment of the soul through the exploration of the wondrous variety of life, Free-Spirit style.
