I remember hearing this stuff first on this internet radio channel that was based in germany. I didn't know who the artists were behind it but it was the most impressive music I had heard. I saved the radio show and burned it to a cd but the cd degraded and I lost track of this music. Well, I was just surfing albums on my phone the other day and I downloaded an album for solar fields. It had this carbon based lifeforms album on the right hand side of the screen. I downloaded it to have some more ambient to listen to but didn't get the chance to listen to it that night. the next day I did and I was blown away that it was the incredible music I thought I had lost forever.

[@ThePsychedelicMuse]

I've been there - losing some awesome music and finding it again - and it's an amazing feeling!

[@MegaMorbie]

+Smileyfacedkiller awesome story mate

[@mb16a2]

+Smileyfacedkiller you were meant to find this music again

[@CodrinNovacescu]

I guess we've all been there and yes, it's such a great feeling. :)

[@thingyee1118]

Good music finds good people! Great minds think alike too!

[@organichemist9606]

this album saved me from a very dark trip

[@michaelconnor2162]

Elaborate please

[@treal512]

This has been and still is my official get down to business and get it done album. I have crunched research papers, finalized studying for difficult exams, and overcome many challenging tasks with this gem. I find the album to be extremely motivating, dynamic, and vitalizing with the proper mindset (trust in your capabilities) as it has helped hone my concentration and determination. Thank you, CBL.

[@BornPsy]

So true. Couldn't have been worded better. Cheers :)

[@ioanbello2733]

Very eloquent and very true... Though I do find myself pausing every time Comsat (58:02) comes on. There's just something about that track that makes me think of Eve or Star Citizen. It's hard not to just sit back and appreciate those vibes.

[@VooodooPL]

Ioan Bello eve or star citizen ;) eve is really diamond in sci fi ambient. i started from theme from jita, red glowing dust and few more. now, few years after, i love electronic like ambient, psydub, space ambient, chill... solar fields, carbon, cell on thinking... eve, stellardrone to fly away from time and space ;) Jon Hallur is a father of my music journey... CBL on live - life changing experience. Thank you, and always be. B

[@F0ssil]

dreydin @ Ioan & Bartosz: loads of these types of tracks fit in with EvE, I sometimes listen to them as I fly through null sec. Another awesome track for eve is Sync24s source - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4vQeoFojd6og68 - even has Prometheus as the Video

[@JockoJonson17]

Steev P If you guys like CBL and the Eve Online soundtrack, also check out Stellardrone.

[@dafffffffffy]

I first discovered this album when I was a 13 y/o girl. Now I am a 32 y/o woman and still listening! how time flies but the music never gets old :)

[@tigerlilly3727]

19 and 36 for me :D

[@Reeeeeee12345]

32 yo roastee.

[@zo2o]

Getting into this kind of stuff at 13 is pretty heavy. Normal people listen to the usual, hyped up internet trash at 13, like say... Britney Spears or Justin Bieber

[@qiffrox6991]

If you are here, you are going good way.

[@klausulmer8306]

I´m 63, have private problems and I still love this music, so I can relax

[@kalebdye4378]

I love listening to this off 3 gas station dick pills.

[@user-fh1mh6ci8m]

i hope when i reach 63 youtube recommend smt like that

[@sdkfeldfwerer6751]

Hey Klaus, are your problems solved? I hope so and cheers from 2021:)

[@kevgh3869]

If you have private problems close your blinds.

[@TheArrow1987]

While World Of Sleepers is like underwater healing ambient, Hydroponic Garden has a much more spacey feeling. If someone tell me I will fly to the ISS tonight, I will listen to this whole album many hours before it and be totally euphoric. Then I will look into the sky from my window when it slowly gets darker (the "blue hour"). It's one of those ambient albums that makes me wish I would be an astronaut. Since the last few years psychedelic ambient / electronic become more and more important. This band, Solar Fields, Shpongle, Entheogenic, Mystical Sun, Slackbaba, The Infinity Project, Chronos, Androcell, Ott, all great artists.

[@aleksarakic8035]

Can you recommend me some other underwater healing ambient? :) Thats good description of WOS, I had same vibes

[@bluerain2280]

Try listen to Derelicts and Interloper by Carbon Based Lifeforms. ... they Are works of art my friend. I haven't listened to World Of Sleepers yet...... underwater healing ambience.. very interesting description.

[@TheCEPELE]

I can sleep, I can medidate , I can be jogging, I can be hard working with this perfect music. This is holy grail of music in general.

[@dan4461]

meditating to music defeats the purpose of meditating, sorry

[@KBPross]

@@dan4461 so you are not able to meditate, which means to focus on your inner truth, when there is sound in the room ? for me thats a lack of concentration power .... real meditation is independent and can be practised everywhere

[@dan4461]

@@KBPross that is exactly my point. you don't need music to meditate

[@jmichael484]

Amen

[@shamane67]

perhaps he means something else -relaxation instead of meditation...

[@rosemarymcshane3461]

Hydroponic Garden, released in 2003, is a fine example of two people immersing themselves into the world of electronic mixture. The fathers and mothers of electronic music would appreciate the nuance and rigor of Carbon Based Lifeform’s (CBL) musical vocabulary. Kudos also to The Psychedelic Muse for uninterrupted pleasure. I thank you.

[@billanthony8230]

im a myotherapist and hypnotherapist and incorporate carbon based lifeforms in all of my treatments. clients really respond particularly well to this song. Thank you CBL for making my job so easy :) love the track. thanks for the upload, uploader!

[@aesonone]

out of curiosity mostly: could you attribute this good response to something in the quality of the sound/tones/resonance or just the sheer musical, if i could describe it, kind-heartedness and uplift this tune delivers (album title)

[@angelomarcos8508]

First came across them in 2011, when a friend who was also part of the Occupy London movement shared them with me. Later, from 2013 in Bali, I would listen to them for my personal yoga sessions. Amazing to grow up with them, to mature and change and always go back to it, always nourishing. Thank you so much to this channel and to CBL for the magic.

[@Staroth999]

My cats seem to really enjoy this.

[@IamJiva]

Been smashing Psychedelic Muse non stop as I rush towards my thesis deadline. Thank you for helping me out and being the only way to stay sane in this crazy crazy world.

The Psychedelic Muse wishes you the best!

[@stonerscouch433]

Yoooooo fuck yes

[@freeinformation9869]

Favorite CBL at the moment. :-) ... and its more than 10 years old, their first album even. It is not music for the future, it is music for eternity! :-)

[@YAHSPETSNAZ]

MOS 6581 is amazing

[@alanmclemore3927]

It really is. I looked it up--"MOS 6581" was the part number for the sound card in a Commodore 64. I'm old enough to remember that computer...

[@JacobNelson]

YAHSPETSNAZ Alan Mclemore MOS 6581 @ 15:40. It kicks in ～ 16:00. That's the garden baby yeah! HiziHyDRO garDEN! And can't forget about the 64 COM! MOS makes me want to take apart the 64 while listening to 6581...on the 6581!

[@steightofthehart7899]

Best CBL album for me.

[@elbrusnigmatulin397]

15:59 that was so fucking awesome when i heard that for the first time. Tundurun-tun-tun

[@Sara13R]

the original Tensor is so much better than the remastered version... honestly, one does not simply remaster CBL songs. Period. :-)

[@ChibiLokiRagnarok]

Going through some rough times at the moment. Mentally, psychologically, spiritually...big changes at hand...don't know if they are good or bad. But CBL always help me commune with the Universe. They are always there for me when things get tough. Thank you CBL.

[@midnitelitening9705]

+ChibiLokiRagnarok Good or bad is someone else measurement. Life and how we deal with it is an experience to overcome and enjoy. Take it or hide from it, make it yours, unique to who we are and who we become, ever evolving.

[@stonerscouch433]

There r more like me no fucking way dude

[@phantogroupie909]

I found this music 2 years ago.. suicidal, depressed, lost.. it is now a part of me. a part of my life, a point of reference in life. each song has such a profound and different emotional attachment to it. CBL... wow.

[@donwright1946]

So glad you didn't check out prematurely but I need to know something. I've been exploring this genre for a couple weeks now, why didn't ya'll tell me about this one, Carbon Based Lifeforms. 'Amazing' is such an overused word these days but it's what I'm thinking.

[@ToyokaX]

Don Wright If you haven't already, look for Solar Fields, Aes Dana, H.U.V.A. Network and Asura. All great groups (H.U.V.A. Network is an alternative collaboration between Solar Fields and Aes Dana) and worth a listen. If you really like them, I suggest obtaining the Ultimae Records Disography, or buy some digital albums off of Ultimae Records' website.

[@donwright1946]

Yes, yes I have.

[@phantogroupie909]

Don Wright CBl is what started the mind explosion for me too lol. i've heard a them too, to add to them ..think you guys will enjoy maybe you haven't heard: Aphex Twin - Stone in Focus Aphex Twin - rhubarb Sounds From the Ground - Chrome Horizon ...those are 3 of the best ambients i've ever.. Laughe & Baba Gnohm - Hypnose Phasephour - Unpronounced Numbers and Grains of Sound (artist), Koan, and S1GNS of L1FE. these 3 artists are epic. enjoy w those :) feel free to send me some good ones too.

[@phantogroupie909]

phantogroupie909 Also just to add. In the first comment I said emotional attachment.. what stands out so much to me about CBL, is the name of each song, and the philosophical/conceptual realization you have to each of them... for example Photosynthesis, ... Holy fuck? oxygen, energy, air currents, atmosphere, air pressure, radio waves, cutting forests, burning coal, driving cars... like woa. was dropped to my knees from this stuff. Refuge seems to be the most emotional, while World of Sleepers has the clearest philosophy in it. .. Mechanism was a turning point in my life..... damn. and Comsat: lifechanging scary shit.

[@systec.]

first listened to this album while reading Orwell's 1984 in high school... now that's all i can think about while listening to this

[@DemonWhisper1]

I've been listening to this album for years and have always loved it, but last night i listened to it beginning to end while tripping really hard on acid and i think i've discovered the meaning (or meanings) behind this album. Starting off in silence, all the sounds slowly building upon eachother, Its as if each song is a different lifeform, species, or aliens (whatever you want to call it) and its like the music is their way of communication and the first song being named central plains, i thought it to be the starting ground for each life form coming together and trying to live in peace. When you listen to each song, just think about how you got from one end to the other. Its amazing how creative it is and it leaves you wondering how silence turned into this insane collaboration of sounds and its just mindblowing. When people say you dont need drugs to listen to this music i agree 100%, but listening to it on drugs, especially psychedelics, you really connect with it and feel a sense of understanding behind it, just like i posted what i thought the meaning behind this album this entire album is. In all honesty, i wouldn't have come to that conclusion if i wasn't on LSD. Artificial Island (Track 10) had me in such an insane mindfuck i was out of my mind.

[@jonbee2192]

you only tripped for 1hr26min ? what did you do for the 10+hrs? or was that it?😁😊😎😘😍

[@PomaloBudan]

That's a nice trip there.

[@edimusrex]

Calm down.

[@davidcrevaux1727]

Nice Nice bro , i respect you cos i understand you very well. In the last 5 years or so Epicenter was and still is my favorite song.

[@jessmessing3146]

I need to be high on LSD to make sense of this. It's very vague. You didn't specify which life forms you are even talking about, or anything else really. I hope you have since gotten off your high-horse of drugged-out truth.

[@olga.klimova]

timeless music, never get tired of hearing it (probably for the 1000 time now LOL) every other music can get old for me, not this one.... masterpiece of the genre

[@blackholesinmyhead2005]

I can listen to CBL 7/24, constantly!

[@daytonaaaargh]

This is amazing! It's like a new Jean-Michel Jarre, but different. Gorgeous!

[@mattsullivan8996]

Sean Barr totally! I didn't make that connection, but now you mention it.. the MOS track reminds me of his live in China album

[@theoldleafybeard]

True! To me, it's like if JMJ's music had evolved both technologically and organically, in deep contact with some extraplanetary species.

[@ds1919ds1919]

I grew up with Jean-Michel Jarre; Oxygen, Magnetic Fields, Equinox. For me, this was the deepest I could find, even deeper than Pink Floyd (which I am a lifer Floydian). Carbon Based Lifeforms is on a different level altogether. Different Dimension altogether. This is where My world exists

[@andyf6813]

Music for the Soul

[@ToyokaX]

Tensor is probably my favorite, has that "Blade Runner" sort-of vibe to it :)

[@valerianeth]

i love carbon based lifeforms. one of the best

[@Treesandink]

cool album artwork! this music is like stepping into a whole new world of sonic sound i'm loving it

[@airmidalchemist5234]

This album is so hypnotic, magic, cosmic, dark, oneiric, postapocatyptic, mysterious, atmospheric, worrisome, wild, cold, surreal, reflective... and the same way is very subtle, elegant and suprisingly calming. Just perfect, one of my top albums ever. Sad but true is the newest CBL's album has not even an half of THIS atmosphere...

[@dfs20111984]

Sounds like something coming out of primordial space.

[@EsotericHighway]

I forgot how good this album is..

[@zerocool0000000000]

1:17:50 I could die to this music

[@alanmclemore3927]

Aw don't do that, man, you'd miss Interloper, World of Sleepers and Twentythree [:-{D>

[@LewisBavin]

Alan Mclemore I feel bad saying this but I just don't get 23. I'm aware its a different type of ambiance (more like pure ambiance rather than psybience) and thats fine, thats not why I don't like it. I just can't see any depth to the tracks. Obviously I'm aware that there must be depth somewhere as its cbl and people love that album, but I just don't see it!

[@pablovirus]

Epicentre and Artificial Island are just out of this world

[@davidcrevaux406]

Epicentre is my fav too but all album is Magic

[@DislocatedCardiganV1]

Stellardrone is excellent too. Some ambient music can get a bit too "dancey" for me but these and Stellardrone never disappoint :) try Steve Roach too if you haven't already.

[@wisteriabreeze197]

Solar fields is also a good example, but he is more cyberpunk than "space music"

[@Cinematic_Wedding]

Stellardrone is great. I also recently discovered 'Epigenetics'. A bit in between Stellardrone and CBL. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWPVpWSue5uaftU
