[@2007enthusiast]

Not Built For Speed is like 5 different genres in one. Jungle, trip-hop, middle-eastern, soul, jazz. Utterly breathtaking. We will never have this talent ever again!

[@cavestar2008]

Thank you so much! ❤🙏🏻

39:45 the vocals in this song are so heavenly, the whole vibe of the song, really. I wish I could crawl in and live in this world. How many more obscure hidden gems exist that I am totally unaware of, just waiting to be found?

[@cavestar2008]

Wow! Thank you!

[@moussetache1815]

Too many to be listened to in a lifetime, and this is good news my friend.

[@seattleraisedme]

My neighbors know the weekend starts on a Thursday night haha I'm on a roll 2nite & glad the algorithm is on some spooky shit. I feel like a warrior goddess rn, this is heavy and enchanting asf! ❤

[@benignword8233]

It's so odd it seems like we're just finding out about this music now. I searched up a few songs from the critical mass album I liked and they had only like 500 views on them

[@JacobAndJamal]

Seems to be a resurgence of mid 90s - early 00s “electronica” like jungle/trance/triphop/BigBeat. I think Y2K is becoming the next nostalgia era since we’re in 2020s now

[@Jericho8131]

I listened to Lunatic Calm's first album again last month and ever since then, KZbin has been recommending me tons of late 90s/early 00s techno/electronic/underground music and I love it. Feels like I've really taken a trip back about 25 years

[@painkiller8639]

@@JacobAndJamal I would also add genres like berlin school (klaus schulze, tangerine dream), synthwave, dungeonsynth and New Age. It is great that people are discovering/rediscovering music from decades ago.

[@bigbadbatmanmexico4805]

Bc we are in the time in space where / when that music was made

[@ThirdEyeTyrone]

It goes to show how hard it was to get noticed as a musician back then. So many talented musicians couldn’t get their music out there. This is why ppl say Many of the celebrities who “made it” were a part of a cabal of nepotism and “favors”. I’m not passing any moral judgment but when you look at how hard it was to be discovered combined with the amount of talentless ppl who rose to the top, it really makes you think.

I loved "Spirit Writing." Anyone know any type of similar-sounding music or chanting that I could listen more to? What its influences are, and where this type of sound originates from?

[@KydraExhale]

It was from a Native American horror film forgot which one. But thievery corporation has the same vibe

[@stuffedsheepshead]

Do we know where the sample came from? Is it a French film?

[@vh99_]

Check out the albums from Bill Laswell and Jah Wobble ;)

Three friends from CMU, Seth, Bill and Aaron. They moved to San Jose at the same time and worked in the startup space. They formed Mindspore as a side project out of their mutual love for music. I was employee #4, the art director, mastering engineer, and A&R.
