Viridescent A very strong contender for best AI release so far. Toki Fuko has created a sublime piece of audio ear candy for us. Droning psychedelic goodness with the most appealing tripped out dialogue for added pleasure. Favorite track: Part Two.

RA Not being a tribal ambient type I hesitated taking the plunge on this one, but this is a subtle and massive grower. This has quickly become a firm favourite, a friend to sit with and receive some good therapy. The vinyl seems to deliver additional depth to the bass pulses and the strange recorded dialogue leaves only warmth and curiosity. Love it. Can the artwork be topped?

The Inexpressible Sound Archive Oh my, Toki Fuko on Astral Industries. A perfect blend of no-frills shamanism and expertly crafted psychedelic soundscapes. If it wasn't clear already after his groundbreaking Human Design album: Toki Fuko is an artist on a deeply spiritual quest.

kaosskid When this album came up as a pre-order I instantly had a strong feeling to grab a copy. This came with no disappointment, as now that I have gotten a chance to listen to it I highly recommend it. Deep, ultra trippy thought provoking audible pleasure! Favorite track: Part One.

about

AI-34 arrives from Toki Fuko. Known previously for his contributions of deep and hypnotic techno, he presents on Astral Industries further development of his sound in this long-form work. A two-part sojourn into vibrant organic soundscapes and liminal sonic archaeologies, ‘Spirit Medicine’ is an ethereal yet human-centric venture into the realms of consciousness.

Soft chimes mark the opening, making way for expansive pads and the emergence of a bristling jungle panorama. Solitary flute melodies call out to the valley, riding over a bed of drones and earthy rhythms. Later juxtaposed with broadcasted voice samples, the natural fabric ruptures with exposed layers spilling through, only to fade back into the ether. Perhaps a memory, or the momentary glimpse of a parallel reality… Part Two adopts an equally atmospheric flavour, substituting fauna and flora for deconstructed, psycho-somatic mysteria. Overall darker in tone, broken beats combine with avant garde adornments, underpinned by a subtle existential narrative. Wading through a wilderness of eerie remembrances, their starkness is counterbalanced with a peaceful return - a form of clarity and reconciliation that the listener is offered in the final act.
