Carbon Based Lifeforms is one of the best ambient music composers I have ever crossed across. It's something studied, known, but in the same time it is natural, it's fucking well done, with nice melodies and frequencies that cross your brain side to side.

My favorite sequence starts with Euphotic. If you get trapped by Euphotic melodies, the album will end very fast. The combo Euphotic - Frog - M is my favorite ambient combo sound ever. This is not my favorite album from Carbon Based Lifeforms but it's certainly a ambient/natural sound masterpiece.

I was highly anticipating this release and a little sceptical if the Carbon Based Lifeforms would be able to achieve a high level again such as in "World Of Sleepers".

Trust me, they did.
They announced they experimented a little more with guitars and vocals this time so I was even more worried that they may be losing their style. But it turns out to be at an absolutely minimum scale and fits very very well.
The sounds they arranged this time are mindblowing and for me personally even more sound-of-the-universe-level.
I have listened to it as much as I could since the release and I am always discovering more electronic details. If I had to pick a favourite track (which will probably change from time to time),
right now it would be "Supersede". You may be reminded of "Epicentre" when listening to it but they gave it such a unique touch which makes it an absolutely epic arrangement.

The overall feeling is very intense yet peaceful. They put so much love in this album, it is worth every cent!

For me it is the release of 2010 so far.

Since I discovered Carbon Based Lifeforms my life has been different. Their understanding of nature and respect for it always changes my day when I listen to them. In this album, the duo changes the way people see the space and the stars.

The Swedish duo Carbon Based Lifeforms graces us with their fourth album [ Twentythree ]. An interpretation of sidereal music captured in and around layers of atmospheres.
From wide and far reaching soundscapes, the hypnosis subtly builds up with washes of ethereal melodies while floating pads
are brushed by reverberated organic and electric data or the distant echoes of life on a planet.

The album consists of 8 genuine and unrestrained tracks that will forever expand our visions of the open space. Authentic and vibrant, deeply emotive, the story unfolds.

Composed by Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad, except "VLA" by Johannes Hedberg, System" and "Somewhere in Russia" by Daniel Segerstad. Voice by Karin My Andersson on "Inertia" & "Kensington Gardens".
Mastered by Vincent Villuis at Ultimae studio, France.
