This is a very important album for me, as it marks my going back to making music with soul and heart after a very confused and confusing year. I recorded it in 2009 using solely some amazing free vst (virtual) instruments created by Elektrostudio (Poland) that really give you the feeling of being in a studio in the 70's, when the famous pioneers such as Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream explored and gave shape to electronic music. This album is - obviously - a tribute to their music as well as early EM from those years in general, but it is, above all, my personal comeback to music after I thought I had lost it.
If you burn this album to a cdr, please make sure you eliminate the two-second pause most cd burners insert automatically between tracks - pauses are carefully trimmed during mastering to let the album flow as intended by the author, so doing this will also improve your listening experience.
Enjoy!!

Reviews for "AELECTROID"
10 reviews
I love the idea of making in album only with vintage sounds, to make as if we really were in the seventies. The work you've done only with the (excellent) Elektrostudio synths is amazing.
A few words about what I liked the most in this album...
"Men from the moon" is a frightening and strange overture. Strangely enough, it seemed better to me the second time I listened to the album.
"Powerlesss and "the Asylum" sometimes remind me of Tangerine Dream moving atmospheres.
In "Defining moments", the second half in particular is excellent.
I really like the melody from "March of the innocents", but I don't love the lead sound.
"Dance of the little lights" is a gem, a kind of electronic canon.
"Too stupid to suffer" is a strange title for a strange piece. Excellent too.
"Warmth" is another superb short track, some kind of electronic symphonic movement.
After a frightening intro, "Aelectroids" turns out to be a funny track, we almost could dance to it. Dancing like robots of course...
All in all, I almost liked everything. Only "Plasma" may be too experimental and cold. But it's so short that it's some kind of midcourse break.
For the lovers of vintage 70s sounds lost in the 21st century, this is an essential album!
Muzyka jak słychać budowana jest od podstaw,z dużym wypracowaniem.
Stylistycznie kojarzyć się może trochę z elektronika lat 80tych,jednak wykonawca ma tu zdecydowanie coś swojego do powiedzenia.
To"coś"to przede wszystkim fajne orientalizujące motywy.
Pierwsze wrażenie może tu bardzo odbiegać od końcowego bo płyta rozwija się...
Kolejne utwory mogą wciągać coraz bardziej w to wypracowane dzieło na wysokim poziomie.
Mnie wciągnęło ;)
Un gran trabajo de experimentación. Una gran variedad de temas, ideas, atmosferas y sonidos. Recomendado para tos los amantes del sonido experimental.
Gracias por compartir su trabajo!
Very good indeed is undoubtedly a tribute to Jean Michel Jarre.
Congratulations
Friggin great sound! Long lost but not forgotten (at least not by me).
And first time ever I hear the Linn-drum bossanova preset being used by someone not making it sound jarre-ish.
Oh, the ARP sounds... mmmm... I used to own a couple way back when; one died on me and then I sold them for peanuts.
Hearing those sounds again makes my heart ache even more!
Please go on on this path!
This is a really GREAT album. I am a huge Tangerine Dream fan but I think your album is better than many of theirs! You have a very wide range of blended music here. I look forward to future works! Thank you!
Spazialità diffusa e corredata di effetti tipici anni 80, particolarissimo.Consigliato agli amanti del genere Cosmische Musik
Mac of BIOnighT entführt uns da in Zeiten, in denen elektronische Musik ihren ersten wirklichen Höhepunkt erfuhr. Ich hab erst kürzlich eine alte Platte von Tangerine Dream erstanden und kann daher mit Fug und Recht behaupten, dass Aelectroid den Vergleich mit diesen Pionieren der 70er Jahre nicht zu scheuen braucht.
Ganz besonders freut mich, dass dieser unverwechselbar "einlullende" Sound ausschließlich mit Freeware-VST-Plugins gezaubert und alles ohne Loops eingespielt wurde. So entsteht nicht nur klanglich der Eindruck in die 70er zurückversetzt zu werden - auch der Flow passt ganz einfach. Und ohne Flow wären die 70er ja gar nicht denkbar... ;-)
Wenn ich mir die anderen Alben dieses Künstlers durchhöre (zumindest einige davon, alles ist auf die schnelle nicht schaffbar *g*) überfällt mich eine Ahnung von der Vielseitigkeit des Interpreten. Ich war zumindest schon in den 80ern, in einer psychedelischen Fleischfabrik, in einem mir fremden Universum und irgendwo dazwischen...
Schön, dass dieses Album für ihn eine Art musikalisches Comeback darstellt. Ich hoffe auf viele viele weitere...
Dringende Empfehlung für musikalische Abenteuerreisende.
Ah, my teenage years, Rick Wakeman, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, this album is reminiscent of all that kind of stuff. Super. Many Thanks!
This is a thoroughly enjoyable and varied album with. Quite understandably, it takes inspiration from the 1970s masters of EM - Tangerine Dream and Jarre, but it's the variety of styles and good arrangements that make it a very pleasant listen.
Thank you!
