Crazy how stuff like this is therapeutic for depression. Work, dating, hanging with friends, none of that really helped. Since my mother passed away, I've just wanted out of this world but since CBL, I actually enjoy living. Thank you for helping me detox and find the magic in life.
I remember when my oldest son at the age of 9 became very emotional when listening to "20 Minutes" and started to cry... he told me, that he missed the times when we (he, his younger brother and I) used to drive around by car for hours at night listening to nothing but CBL-tracks...
this music provides calmness which is normally obstructed by your noisy mind i guess this is just temporary solution until you find out that you have to search for peace in yourself word of wisdom from random internet guy
@@YardaFreeman What brings peace is the mind focused on something that the individual enjoys while letting go of unwanted thoughts. As opposed to a wandering mind imaging all kinds of unwanted scenarios. Anything can be used to focus: chants, breath, a word repeated in your mind, singing, dancing, writing, listening to external sound of life around you. So yes, being dependent upon music isn't ideal, but just using it as another means of focus is fine. Use whatever is closes at hand. I mean meditation is basically focusing on your focus/awareness, haha.
This mix really takes me back to a time in my life where it was my only escape. I'm so glad I made it out alive. Listening to it now it all comes rushing back. All the feelings long forgot. Time is a strange concept. Music is one of the few things that transcends the gaps of time. It's still captivating and hopeful for the distant place of peace deep in ones heart.
This music is a new discovery for me, but the idea of time as a strange concept really hit a nerve while listening to this. I forget that I am 60, I am still the 20 something whose life was turned upside down by loss. It takes you back, makes time fluid, non existent. He never really left, and somewhere in time another story plays out...
Listening to this album reminds me of when I first discovered it in my early teens. I met my first true love while I was listening to this album for the first time, and this album stayed with me throughout our entire 5 year relationship. The track "Frog" in particular was the soundtrack to the first kiss we shared. My childhood sweetheart and I broke up many years ago and haven't spoke since. Although I've moved on and live my own life now, it's strange how this album still holds so many raw emotions, which all come flooding back every time I listen to it. A truly incredible sensation of nostalgia unlike any other I've ever felt before... I still wonder, sometimes, how she's doing and if she's okay. But as with all memories, they can never be re-lived. However, we can thank them for what they gave us, and what they helped us develop into. So in case you ever happen to stumble upon this comment, Carbon Based Lifeforms. I just wanted to say thank you for for giving me a beautiful adolescence. I'll never forget everything you've done. Take care.
to be honest.. track called ,,Init´´ is the most emotional song ive ever heard in my whole life...oh my god....im speechless.....im crying everytime .....i can´t see through my tears but i Love You all !
Absolutely. I'm happy that I'm one of the few people who actually got the double LP "re-release". Call me pretentious, but I like popping this onto an old vinyl player and relaxing to it.
He's not even joking. Close your eyes for long enough while listening to this and you might decide to take a break from your body & mind and float on off.
That was the orgasmic, space travelling sound that first ensnared my attention all those years ago. CBL is truly unique like Odesza, Aphex Twin, Crystal Castles, Moby, Orbital...
randomly came across these guys googling for "carbon based lifeforms" after watching a sciency documentary about the universe. and now i'm traversing the stars listening to them :) so good.
I'm in America for a month now and I'm missing my home, family and friends in Dubai very much. This music seems to take me to those joyous moments as well as the frustrating moments. I write with tears in my eyes. Absolutely beautiful. Love you CBL .
The atmosphere of this album! A place your heart knows but we can't see, a place very familiar yet we haven't been there. In another dimension, hopefully someday I will find you.
I used to just listen to World of Sleepers if i couldn't sleep. Now i can say that i am addicted to CBL, i listen to it everyday at least one album once. The fact that this music exists and that there are no radios (at least in my area) that broadcast this type of music is still strange to me.. Alot of people find this music depressing, I find it touching and powerful. Brings me tears of joy sometimes.
Album cover- I was born and raised in Poland. Every summer I used to travel 900km to my Great Grandmother to stay there for 2 months. On our journey by train we had to pass across whole country. At 5-6am when I was not asleep anymore I used to stare through the window looking at same trees, same light and same feel.... Passing by in thousands while trais was running through almost never ending forests...
Been an avid collector of Tangerine Dream since college (it as the only music I could listen to while studying) and REALLY happy to have discovered this band... Ordered Twenty Three, The Path and Derelicts today.
Ricochet , Stratosphere , Cyclone...etc... I grew up listening to Tangerine Dream !!! My electronic past ;)) Love CBLF, Shpongle ,etc ; but never forget the roots of this wonderful tree !!
This album has the strongest opening in any ambient record I’ve listened to in like 15 years, and it never loses that momentum. as a long time CBL fan, this one’s my all time favorite. Love it!
@@kirilstoyanov5357 beautiful mix! I'm a big fan of Suduaya but some of these tracks I'd never listened to before. do you know the name of the 2nd one by any chance? (starts around 7:30)
I don't get how some people don't like this. If it ain't hip hop they don't want to hear it. I guess it takes a special kind of person to enjoy this beautiful music
@@greatestytcommentatorThat’s an interesting critique. I wonder what she means. Perhaps it sounds to her like long intros that never hand off to an actual song. What we experience as “immersive”, she experiences as inert, or stuck, or frozen. The patent structures of typical “songs”, the cycles of tension and resolution, are absent here, or are stretched to unrecognizability. She may feel that’s missing, and that this music fails to deliver the expected payoffs. She would be correct in all of this, of course, but I can’t help believing she is missing something profound, and might benefit from a relaxation of expectation.
This is the musical equivalent of a human being who uses the least number of words to convey the deepest and most beautiful feelings. Being alone never felt better :)
I listened to it with my girlfriend, I was in love with her, when I listened to this song, I felt very peaceful, I wanted that moment to never end, but every beautiful thing has an end...
Love seeing the connectedness everyone experiences from listening to this. Like we share a common bond and understanding of each other and we're brought together listening to this album.
This music is so goddamn underrated. I'm glad though because the "scene" isn't over saturated with cookie cutter dopplgangers trying to o the same sound
Don't even care to admit it, I rarely cry more than a handful of times a year and I just blubbered like a baby to a majority of the second half of this album, this is absolutely a masterpiece.
I used to listen to this album when I went to sleep with my then 1½ year old. It was a time of dismay and chaos for me, but those moments and this album still lives to bring me joy, happiness and beauty. Thank you for this music, and thank life for the wonderful sons that I have
Dunno how I ended up here, was looking for early seventies prog rock and thought I would give this a listen whilst I was passing through, glad I did its beautiful and atmospheric.
+Dave Robinson You might want to give these guys a try...somewhere between 70s prog and CBL... "I am your Autopilot" and their album "The stillness of the Sea". Let me know what you think ; )
I have kept coming back to this album the last two years. It's always been around like a warm embrace. then it hits you. the sheer beauty of the music. pure joy for me.
The hyperdimensional super consciousness we are all connected to, are a part of. we come here and forget that we are an interloper inside the reality we create.
@@eTranscendence Thank you! We are all apart of a great whole that is so much bigger than ourselves. Our differences are circumstantial but our similarities are ingrained. We are not different in conscience we are different in circumstance.
Bright delphic disillusions Paints the way, vivid grey Follow that, luring path And take the leap Right where it.. Here they come, twilight times Prepare yourself, for the fall Let dark light ease the impact And take the leap Right where it ends
10-13y ago I used to listen to CBL when falling asleep. The albums were usually on loop. In almost every case, I experienced vivid lucid dreams (I woke up and walked around the room, listening to their music whilst watching my body sleeping on the bed). After those dreams, I remember waking up in the morning super rested, like it was the best sleep of my life. Years passed by, I was still often listening to CBL, but not before sleep anymore. Recently I did it again, played Derelicts before sleep, and there it happened again, both to me and my partner. Vivid dreams, body's sleeping, but both of us awake within the sleep and listening. In the morning I shared it with my partner and described the spontaneus geometric colorful shapes I was seeing in front of my eyes, like in the caleidoscopio. And she said she experienced exactly the same. No drugs involved, just the music playing during the night. I mean, there is something shamanic and hypnotic within their music. Something I like to describe as universally good.
Well, it is said that as long as the music plays, Hope never dies. And astrophysicists have confirmed that stars "sing, vibrate". They've been around for a long time. And will be. I think we all have a pretty good chance.
Euphotic makes me really, really sad but in a spiritual kind of way that's hard to explain. It's like an affirmation of my weirdness... if all the weirdness in me were a song, that's how it would sound.
The first time I realized I'm in love with someone is when I listened to ''Frog''. I was listening to it and then thought of her, and realized I'm in love thinking like ''Oh my god, I'm in love, this is what it feels like'' :D
Callum I know exactly what you mean, you worded it quite well seeing as these kinds of things, by their very nature - are ineffable I find it strangely appropriate in the irony that great artists like these guys can conjure music and create tracks which in some weirdass way make the sadness of it so moving that that this is where its beauty chiefly comes from. These two are masters of their craft. Perfect for smoking DMT to...just absolutely spot on perfect. Love to all - Cal
I got really depressed listening to this as I reflected on the fact that I wasn't doing my work... Not my job work but my true creative work. So, to take action, I paused at the Euphotic song and turned on my apollo quad and logic pro to get to work. Thank you. I mean, honestly, thank you for the inspiration. Even though there was an initial dip, the overall experience was incredibly and realistically inspiring.
Saturday morning, Midwestern United States. Sitting down at the computer contemplating life and everything. Hopefully achieving a better understanding of how to be better and continue being happy. Life changes so much yet we can only keep pushing through with an insatiable determination. Never stop living.
i've said it before and i'll say it again:this album is amazing....some bits are jaw droppingly good in their transitions.... again to all those who say electronic music is easy - make something like this if you think it is soooo easy....lol.
This music is incredible - very organic and versatile. I can listen to it at work while coding or lying on my bed chilling out and letting it absorb me.
2 o' clock at night, downpour just stopped, cycling through the outskirts of hometown. Highly doubt that any other album will top the feelings this will give me.
Hi,CARBON BASED LIFEFORM,im glad i met your beautiful music,it brings me peace joy,happyness,you are an incridible musical artist,it brings a journey into our lifes,you are the world best sound in music,god bless you always to you an your family an friends. Hugo
Before setting off from Ireland to Germany on a road trip i had recently discovered this music. I decided to use it as my driving playlist for the most interesting parts of the journey with the intention it would imprint the memory and music together. Here I am now 5 years later, back home and listening to this. It worked. It does trigger some awesome memories and adds that slightly melancholic feel to it which the journey had...(Leaving things behind).
Does this kind of music leads you to depression and anxiety when you realize how vast our opportunities and potentials are as human beings floating in this cosmic infinity? It kinda opens my mind so much that i lose my identity and ego in this physical realm, a moment of realization that everything connects to the same thing, circular, over and over again, and yet every next circle opens up new manifestations. Why are we not making any progress collectively?
Stefanos Lalić Social media and a shit education system that only values the people willing to be slaves to the elite company's we are raised to be weak by elites. This is why we achieve little as a collective 🤔
@@DanielFlores-fo1ee I would rather say belief in God exactly makes one think that way. OP mentions the "one thing everything connects to". If that isn't a (one of many) definition for God, I am not sure what could be. But maybe I don't understand, so please elucidate what "God" has to do with the OPs comment that humans are not making collective progress? Do you think belief in God suffices to resolve all the issues in the world. God frowns upon that assumption, I think. It takes hard work to steward Earth and if we fail, it's gone forever. See if God cares about you then, when this world eats you up and spits you back out. See if you still praise it when you get eaten. God told me it is the greatest thing out there we will never meet. Our journey home will take an eternity. Don't let a beautiful belief be the basis of our downfall, though. If your belief in God stops you from actually serving God (working together to improve the world) there is a big gap to be overcome. Please next time, don't stop after saying "but but God", because that's literally preaching to the quire. Explain why you think your thought is correct. As in why you think a belief in God would prevent any of the OPs thoughts. Because for me they don't, rather they're the basis for it. Take care all.
You don't need to understand it. you only need to be it; to change with it and to move flow forward with it. It's not taking any where and it has no destination, and because of that you could never be lost.
Funny how big CBL has been apart of my adult life thus far....I still recall vividly the first time listening to them the summer after I graduated High School in 2011...I was just getting into Psybient/Psychill and the name "Carbon Based Lifeforms" really struck with me so when I ingested morning glory seeds and came to a state of euphoria the whole CBL discography was playing in the dimly-lit room on shuffle. They've been my all time favorite group ever since.
I used to listen to the entirety of the this album on my psychedelic journeys and it would always bring me on the most dazzling trips. There is such a feeling of adventure to this album. Its brought tears to my eyes on numerous occasions. I would eat my mushrooms, turn all the lights off for COMPLETE darkness, turn interloper on and just stare into the dark. It would be so dark that there would be no difference if I closed or opened my eyes. From the darkness would slowly come light and geometry, eventually forming into full on worlds. One of the most insane things I saw listening to this album on mushrooms was transitioning from seeing thousands of ballerinas dancing in the air to flying through a futuristic complex city. These guys make this music for tripping I swear. And they are DAMN good at it! This album will forever be a part of my heart. It will forever remind me of the deep dives into my own mind.
I love this music, I found this some time ago and was attached instantly...I used to run to this music, damn that was and still ist awesome! BUT: the last time I listened to these tracks I was doing Tai Chi, Holy Moly, this nearly made my mind go places...crazy, fluent and powerful, yet soft and easy moves just came to my mind and I was able to let go anything around me and just feel and perform the Tai Chi forms...that was absofrigginlutely next level!!!
Was ;oving Carbon Based Lifeforms already, but they raised the bar with this album, a masterpiece!! Definitely going to check out all the rest of their stuff. Anyone who claims electronic music lacks soul should be made to listen to this.

Keep at it, friend. We believe in You!
Music is the most powerful artform.
Keep on keeping on!
this is beautiful to read. hoping here that you're better now. already 3y in the future.
I'm 41 and I just discovered CBL....the irony of this "background" music is that it demands your full attention. Amazing
Finally someone said it.
I'm glad you discovered how deep the "background" music can be.
Exactly my thoughts
God bless
It's more like it's grabs you from whatever nonsense your dealing with.......

Back in my day, this was Tangerine Dream.... worth checking out one of the roots of this particular tree !!!
Tangerine Dream was legendary
I was saving some shrooms for a rainy day and after listening to the first track, I've decided it's raining today.

One of the best music albums ever made. No one can refute this statement.
I was insanely insomniac until I discovered this band. Falling asleep to them is my favourite thing in the world.
this music provides calmness which is normally obstructed by your noisy mind i guess
this is just temporary solution until you find out that you have to search for peace in yourself

@@YardaFreeman What brings peace is the mind focused on something that the individual enjoys while letting go of unwanted thoughts.

named S=x+y, and P=xy.S'=z+m va P'=zm, Vi S=S' => P=P'+m^3/2S. X^2=SX+P=0 => X^2 -SX+ p - m^3/3S=0 => m=0 => .X+Y=Z

Dunno how I ended up here, was looking for early seventies prog rock and thought I would give this a listen whilst I was passing through, glad I did its beautiful and atmospheric.
+Dave Robinson
You might want to give these guys a try...somewhere between 70s prog and CBL...
"I am your Autopilot" and their album "The stillness of the Sea".
Let me know what you think ; )
+Robert Cooper Yes they were good Robert , checkout Lustmord and listen to it on the dead of night.
Supersuede - definitely one of the best track of CBL of all time!
I have kept coming back to this album the last two years. It's always been around like a warm embrace. then it hits you. the sheer beauty of the music. pure joy for me.
Это невероятно. То же самое. Уже 9 лет
Interloper and Frog are my two songs that bring me back down to earth when your mind is racing for no good reason.
That rare, wonderful moment when you love all the songs on an album. Yes.
Supersede is absolute magic,
unskippable whenever it pops up on the playlist,
like something is pulling me in and I dont even wanna escape.
holy shit i just found out these albums were remastered and now im gonna have the fattest CBL binge ever. SO GOOD.
this music makes me feel connected to something.
I never had feelings like this before with any music
really inspiring :)
The hyperdimensional super consciousness we are all connected to, are a part of. we come here and forget that we are an interloper inside the reality we create.
@@eTranscendence Thank you! We are all apart of a great whole that is so much bigger than ourselves. Our differences are circumstantial but our similarities are ingrained. We are not different in conscience we are different in circumstance.
Connected to the Truth 🖤👁🕉
Bright delphic disillusions
Paints the way, vivid grey
Follow that, luring path
And take the leap
Right where it..
Here they come, twilight times
Prepare yourself, for the fall
Let dark light ease the impact
And take the leap
Right where it ends
My deep yoga practice, with this music, has been a fantastic experience. Thanks a lot🙏 from Italy🇮🇹❤
Every single time I play this album, my whole mind, soul and body instantly relax. I love this music so much. God bless
Agreed. I can't stop listening to this album. Keep coming back and it's incredible every time
YESSS
Polytrytmi blows my mind every single time i listen to it, last four minutes are beyond epic
Ja przy tym płacżę... Ale pozytywnie! Pozdr.😄
10-13y ago I used to listen to CBL when falling asleep. The albums were usually on loop. In almost every case, I experienced vivid lucid dreams (I woke up and walked around the room, listening to their music whilst watching my body sleeping on the bed). After those dreams, I remember waking up in the morning super rested, like it was the best sleep of my life. Years passed by, I was still often listening to CBL, but not before sleep anymore. Recently I did it again, played Derelicts before sleep, and there it happened again, both to me and my partner. Vivid dreams, body's sleeping, but both of us awake within the sleep and listening. In the morning I shared it with my partner and described the spontaneus geometric colorful shapes I was seeing in front of my eyes, like in the caleidoscopio. And she said she experienced exactly the same. No drugs involved, just the music playing during the night. I mean, there is something shamanic and hypnotic within their music. Something I like to describe as universally good.
this isn't abnormal, it's actually proven by science.
They created an Immortal, eternal music, every album, every track. What an extremely unique people!
I want to listen to this on headphones and walk through a really nice forest on a cool summer day
Stole my thought only I would walk on a rainy evening same place
Try the same, but the Shadows fore and aft from half-life 2 soundtrack !
Same, but I want to walk through a weird colorful forest on some foreign planet instead
Don't get mauled by a bear...
Same, enhanced by some good shrooms :)
This music is great listening in these grim times.
Gotta get more CBL albums.
Well, it is said that as long as the music plays, Hope never dies. And astrophysicists have confirmed that stars "sing, vibrate". They've been around for a long time. And will be. I think we all have a pretty good chance.
Euphotic makes me really, really sad but in a spiritual kind of way that's hard to explain. It's like an affirmation of my weirdness... if all the weirdness in me were a song, that's how it would sound.
You get it.
The first time I realized I'm in love with someone is when I listened to ''Frog''. I was listening to it and then thought of her, and realized I'm in love thinking like ''Oh my god, I'm in love, this is what it feels like'' :D
I bid you welcome to the weird and wonderful clan of "The Outsiders" :)
Same here man...same feelings.
Callum I know exactly what you mean, you worded it quite well seeing as these kinds of things, by their very nature - are ineffable I find it strangely appropriate in the irony that great artists like these guys can conjure music and create tracks which in some weirdass way make the sadness of it so moving that that this is where its beauty chiefly comes from. These two are masters of their craft. Perfect for smoking DMT to...just absolutely spot on perfect. Love to all - Cal
I got really depressed listening to this as I reflected on the fact that I wasn't doing my work... Not my job work but my true creative work. So, to take action, I paused at the Euphotic song and turned on my apollo quad and logic pro to get to work. Thank you. I mean, honestly, thank you for the inspiration. Even though there was an initial dip, the overall experience was incredibly and realistically inspiring.
This is just a spectacular album. Simply their best. The best of the best.
Best CBL album. Always gives me chills.
Listening trance music from 1994. And now i walking with my 3rd little son in a babystoller and listen interlooper.
Saturday morning, Midwestern United States. Sitting down at the computer contemplating life and everything. Hopefully achieving a better understanding of how to be better and continue being happy. Life changes so much yet we can only keep pushing through with an insatiable determination. Never stop living.
The best melodic album from CBL
Period.
Excellent album. Have listened to it mostly while studying for my CCNA.
+Louis C.K That's funny. I have been studying Cisco while listening to CBL and similar themes for some time :)
lol, funny thing, i'm listening to this when reading BGP and MPLS for my CCIE
Good luck guys!
Sven Subunit Nillson I got my CCNA now. Will do CCNA sec and work on CCNP.
Jan Akkerhuis thanks mlord
+Louis C.K listening to this while study server
In one of the Interview by Armin , One of my fav dj, He mentioned this is one of his all time fav album. And he is absoutely correct , this is gem.
Armin is EDM, CBL is proper electronic music.
sat on the balcony with some red wine = WOW 😀
I never listened to the entirety of "Polyrytmi" until just now, the second half of it is just awesome.
I have no words
I feel like crying after reading comments on this music 🎶 amazing 😉
i've said it before and i'll say it again:this album is amazing....some bits are jaw droppingly good in their transitions....
again to all those who say electronic music is easy - make something like this if you think it is soooo easy....lol.
CBL- Interlooper, Connect.Ohm - 9980, Brian Eno- Apollo and Pink Floyd- Dark Sied of The Moon
Best Albums in this World.
The Ocean-precambrian
Great list. I would add Circular - Moon Pool, to that list. Also a mindblowing Ultimae album.
Pearl O'Neil - So Flows The Current ( something like that..)
as a fellow sound creator, i cannot believe how someone makes such beautiful music
blows my mind
I perceive such a deep respect for nature itself through CBL.
This music touches my soul I can fly above the clouds when I'm listening to this....
Sylwia Nyczke sugar
Rings of saturn brought me here and this is just
+DarkEffigyGamer Same!
really ringd if saturn hahs there a cool deathcore band
successful
Fuck you , I'm on 5grams of shrooms and looked that up . From the name and thumbnail it looked cool. Fuck you again.
***** u ok
From 0:00:00 to 1:14:57 it was great but after that it got kinda boring.
+Henry Audubon haha no doubt my friend
+Carbon .Based Will you ever release hard copy's? I really want to buy hard copies of your albums.
+POSHI not the real carbon based buddy
Galactic Empression yeah I realised a couple days after I posted it.
+Henry Audubon haha I see what you did there... :D
consider yourself lucky to find this gem!
That's what I said for a different... Whatever
@@KobesMind I understand
Yes sir
CBL are the best! Listened to it constantly when writing my dissertation.
This music is incredible - very organic and versatile. I can listen to it at work while coding or lying on my bed chilling out and letting it absorb me.
2 o' clock at night, downpour just stopped, cycling through the outskirts of hometown. Highly doubt that any other album will top the feelings this will give me.
Hi,CARBON BASED LIFEFORM,im glad i met your beautiful music,it brings me peace joy,happyness,you are an incridible musical artist,it brings a journey into our lifes,you are the world best sound in music,god bless you always to you an your family an friends. Hugo
Carbon Based Lifeforms: Perfect for creating artwork on the computer. Mandelbulb3D animation to be specific.
Before setting off from Ireland to Germany on a road trip i had recently discovered this music. I decided to use it as my driving playlist for the most interesting parts of the journey with the intention it would imprint the memory and music together. Here I am now 5 years later, back home and listening to this. It worked. It does trigger some awesome memories and adds that slightly melancholic feel to it which the journey had...(Leaving things behind).
After the freakin' YT ad, this was like stepping into a pristine forest by a lake. Yeah, I'm gonna go float for a while...
Come float with us Georgie, we all float together down here 😂 sorry, I had to do it
Yeah, fucking ads
Does this kind of music leads you to depression and anxiety when you realize how vast our opportunities and potentials are as human beings floating in this cosmic infinity? It kinda opens my mind so much that i lose my identity and ego in this physical realm, a moment of realization that everything connects to the same thing, circular, over and over again, and yet every next circle opens up new manifestations. Why are we not making any progress collectively?
Stefanos Lalić Social media and a shit education system that only values the people willing to be slaves to the elite company's we are raised to be weak by elites. This is why we achieve little as a collective 🤔
Well if you believe in God then you wouldn't think that way.
why? because we care more about what we wear?
Because spretually we are very weak due to being too much materialistic.
@@DanielFlores-fo1ee I would rather say belief in God exactly makes one think that way. OP mentions the "one thing everything connects to". If that isn't a (one of many) definition for God, I am not sure what could be.
But maybe I don't understand, so please elucidate what "God" has to do with the OPs comment that humans are not making collective progress?
Do you think belief in God suffices to resolve all the issues in the world. God frowns upon that assumption, I think. It takes hard work to steward Earth and if we fail, it's gone forever. See if God cares about you then, when this world eats you up and spits you back out. See if you still praise it when you get eaten.
God told me it is the greatest thing out there we will never meet. Our journey home will take an eternity. Don't let a beautiful belief be the basis of our downfall, though. If your belief in God stops you from actually serving God (working together to improve the world) there is a big gap to be overcome.
Please next time, don't stop after saying "but but God", because that's literally preaching to the quire. Explain why you think your thought is correct. As in why you think a belief in God would prevent any of the OPs thoughts. Because for me they don't, rather they're the basis for it.
Take care all.
After 8 years it resonates. Infinity ❤
I have studied for so many hours listening to Interloper...
You don't need to understand it. you only need to be it; to change with it and to move flow forward with it. It's not taking any where and it has no destination, and because of that you could never be lost.
Thank you to everyone who recommended polyrytmi, never gave that song a chance till now, and I've been listening to CBL for 10 years.
Funny how big CBL has been apart of my adult life thus far....I still recall vividly the first time listening to them the summer after I graduated High School in 2011...I was just getting into Psybient/Psychill and the name "Carbon Based Lifeforms" really struck with me so when I ingested morning glory seeds and came to a state of euphoria the whole CBL discography was playing in the dimly-lit room on shuffle.
They've been my all time favorite group ever since.
I used to listen to the entirety of the this album on my psychedelic journeys and it would always bring me on the most dazzling trips. There is such a feeling of adventure to this album. Its brought tears to my eyes on numerous occasions. I would eat my mushrooms, turn all the lights off for COMPLETE darkness, turn interloper on and just stare into the dark. It would be so dark that there would be no difference if I closed or opened my eyes. From the darkness would slowly come light and geometry, eventually forming into full on worlds. One of the most insane things I saw listening to this album on mushrooms was transitioning from seeing thousands of ballerinas dancing in the air to flying through a futuristic complex city. These guys make this music for tripping I swear. And they are DAMN good at it! This album will forever be a part of my heart. It will forever remind me of the deep dives into my own mind.
It's a bit sad that the tracks don't flow into each other neatly any longer. But still a great remaster - love it!
I love this music, I found this some time ago and was attached instantly...I used to run to this music, damn that was and still ist awesome! BUT: the last time I listened to these tracks I was doing Tai Chi, Holy Moly, this nearly made my mind go places...crazy, fluent and powerful, yet soft and easy moves just came to my mind and I was able to let go anything around me and just feel and perform the Tai Chi forms...that was absofrigginlutely next level!!!
I just had a life changing meditation experience to this. thanks
We need CBL live BAND shows .. take my money am traveling across oceans to listen to this . PLEASE
there is now
Hello 🤗 pleasure meeting y'all 😊
You too😊
Superb!!! Many enormous thanks to Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad. Fantastic!!!
what an experience!!!the sunrise with this album!!
I liked this video ages ago and was like "meh I'll look at this later, been listening to too much chill music." Boy was I missing out!
After many hours of cbl listening, i think M is the best track :D
Was ;oving Carbon Based Lifeforms already, but they raised the bar with this album, a masterpiece!! Definitely going to check out all the rest of their stuff. Anyone who claims electronic music lacks soul should be made to listen to this.
7,8,9 great tracks for the soundtrack of anyone's life
what does that even mean?
