Ever since I got into dubstep and colour bass I've always wished for a full-length story-driven LP from a colour bass artist, since the technical mastery of these artists in my mind would very much prove to work to their favor in creating a beautifully crafted experience, and I believe this is truly what I was hoping for. Everything about this project just expresses prime mastery of sound design, composition, story-telling, it all comes together really. Beautifully so. The story the album tells itself is absolutely gorgeous, something I've spent a lot of time exploring myself, seeing it pulled off in this way is surreal to me. There's highlight tracks like From Atoms To Pixels, portraying the idea of the story perfectly and powerfully, with the following tracks feeling incredibly heartfelt with the scene being set this way. Mindburn is simply one of the most fucking insane things I've ever experienced. Just all around, it's a fantastic piece of work. You can literally feel the love, care and thought that was put into every part of this project's length. There's a reason for everything. It's fantastic. I love it.
When an album tells a story, I think there's nothing more to immerse yourself in the tracks. Aetherborne was a journey through Chime's mind, and that's what imo make this album perfection. It's about storytelling, and that's what I love, creating story while hearing music. It's no only an album, it's a world that has been create. Thank you Chime for this work.
Duuuuude you outdid yourself with this album!!! The storytelling shared through music is just awesome!!! It just feels like being transported into a video game What i liked the most is the way you portray anxiety, it being like some kind of glitch present in a system... In "From Atoms to Pixels" is very clear when the person here feels some kind of anxiety during the process of transformation, because every time he accepts his death or realizes he would never go back the song just glitches AND MINDBURN HOLLY HELL, A LITTERAL BOSSFIGHT AGAINST WHATS IN YOUR MIND "THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PEACEFUL PLACE" was my favorite line I love everything in this album, this whole journey, it's something beyond me and i love it Though the machine calling for "Help" is making me think a lot Is it a cycle? Or is there someone else inside the machine calling for help? Sure a lot to theorize!! What i wanted to say is just thank you. As a person with anxiety i appreciate every feeling put into this album, because we could be feeling good and all of the sudden we get buried into a panic attack, blaming ourselves for not being strong enough, when we clearly are. Thank you for this journey Love you man Keep it up and wish you the best!! ❤🔥🎶
Chime, I first discovered you when I was in the darkest point in my life I've ever experienced. Your music brought me so much joy, and gave me the strength to move forward. Now, when crisis has struck again, and my entire future is uncertain, you dropped Aetherborne. This was a nostalgia trip, a revisiting of my favorite electronic genre ever, and another time that I can claim my life has been saved by music. Not only is this one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing, it is also a collection of the music I resonate with most. And mindburn, alongside Slientroom and Frums' Aegleseeker, is the most impressive piece of digital music I have had the pleasure of listening to. I am eagerly looking forward to your next work. And thanks, thanks for the past 5 years of wonderful music, it has been more impactful than you know.
My theory about the ending Chime may have this perfect world but he's in it alone, and so the machine decides to call for help again so that he can be joined by frens :3
Just listened to the whole thing on spotify. This might be my favourite album of all time. The places wich the main character visits are so well brought back into the music and all the tracks fit together really well. 10/10 album
bringing back goldfinch and sherwood, my favorite chime tunes. im in disbelief that this much beauty can be fit into one album. o7 sir. (now to wait for someone to decode the ending secret)
I want a tattoo of Chime's logo so bad- 😭😭😭 it's so simple yet so meaningful, as his music has gotten me through YEARS of my life. Not to get incredibly sappy but his music has pulled me out of many a depressive episode and given me a much needed escape from reality. Needless to say, I'm incredibly thankful for Chime's existence ❤
Best. Album. Ever. Everything from the different ideas to the stellar production to the story is amazing, I can’t get enough of this. Perfect album, literally perfect.
Really love this album. Some of your older songs (Zephyr and Starstorm) got a huge update in production, which sounded amazing. The story-telling is fascinating and the music is very impactful. An initial fear I had going into the album would be that it would be overly obsessed with pretty colour-bass sound design with nothing else going for it, as I see lots of colour-bass releases have that problem, but it was fortunately not the case within this album. Really great album of the year and glad to be a fan.
I love this album, the story is amazing, the way all the tracks sound so diverse, each having a different story. The songs are simple, yet so complex, easy to dance to, easy to imagine stuff, easy to study/draw to. They way you pushed you skills to the test and then decided to go even further. Chime, this is a masterpiece. Spirit Phone, I don't wanna play with you anymore. Aetherborne is my favorite album now *get out.*
I haven't left a comment on this yet because I'm speechless. This is my favorite album to be released since 2018 (Trench by twenty one pilots was my former favorite), and it blows Trench out of the water. This is the closest you can get to flawless, and with 17 songs that's near impossible. This made Chime rise from an artist that I had respect for, to my favorite artist ever. If you keep producing at this quality, I can't wait to see what you do next. Massive thanks to Chime for starting my favorite genre ever (and making my favorite label about the genre), and for making this absolutely fantastic album. If this doesn't give electronic music the respect it deserves, then we're screwed.
This was such a cool fun & amazing album I ever listened to! I feel very proud to be in the chat when it got Premiered, you (Chime) did a really great & amazing job, not only just the music, but all the visuals you made too! 😁😀👍🌟⭐💜💙💚🌠🌌🎧🎶🔥 I'm just putting these emotes in-order to let it represent with the album, and also because I was on my mobile phone for UA-cam as the time.
Mindburn is definitely one of the most creative songs I have heard in a long time, and it really helps build the story of this album altogether. I also thoroughly enjoyed From Atoms To Pixels, Bittersweet Butterflies, Intermolecular Lullaby, and Bloom. Really great and solid album, definitely going to be one of my picks of the year. Amazing work as always Chime. Keep it up.
one of the fondest memories i'll ever have within this life is listening to head in the clouds/incandescent/colours/skyward while playing minecraft into the morning hours. to see recontextualizations of that era in this format is one of the most full-circle feelings ive ever felt in music, to the point where i physically ask myself where the time has gone. to hear goldfinch out of the blue gave me full-body chills. zephyr not only stuck with me in those minecraft days but was also my pandemic song, as i sat in my backyard in isolation and looked to the sky, feeling hopeful. the greatest gift of all is starstorm; paper mario means everything to me and the motif has always been there, but for it to be present where the stakes are the highest absolutely shakes me to my core. in electronic music ive found that there's storytelling for the sake of storytelling, visuals for the sake of visuals, sound design for the sake of sound design, but anyone would be naive to think that this project wasn't stemmed from a love from what matters most to u in this world. it feels organic in that regard rather than cheesy. as someone who will forever share ur interests, no other artist marries the world between video games, nostalgia and electronic music like u do, so i thank u, ive never felt so heard before. my new obsession is the flow between zephyr, chrysalism and bloom. the house has two exits. progress forward.
I've had the pleasure of listening to this album yesterday over on chime's patreon, and overall it is my absolute favourite album of all time, the amount of love and care that's been put into this album is stunning, the remasters of existing tracks are great, and the project as a whole is one of the best piece of works I've ever heard in the EDM Scene!
my god this album is incredible. everything feels perfectly woven into the storyline and every track serves its purpose from start to finish. ESPECIALLY MINDBURN HOLY HELL that was one of the best songs i’ve ever heard. Chime, you’ve really outdone yourself on this one. This has been your most beautiful piece of work by far and i’m sure you have more fun things in store for the future. brilliant job
You aren't just a musician. You are truely an artist and the way of taking people "with you" into this journey, especially by music, is just something I would like to achieve one day aswell. This album wasn't just a showcase, it was an incredible experience! Sounddesign, ideas, composition and mastering... All are nailed!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the journey that this took me in :D Every track sets a particular scene for the world built in the album, combined with a lot of tension and release, and I'm blown away with how varied and explorative the tracks are, with smooth transitions to blend from one track to another. Overall, I found this to be a wonderfully massive project that really delivers sonically, and even visually with this video! I can easily tell that a lot of love and care has been put into this release, very well done.
I am SO excited for this album, the singles released so far are already beautiful and I absolutely cannot wait to hear the rest, my friend who's a Patreon said that it's an absolute banger of an album Edit: It's just as beautiful as I thought it would be, except five times more. Thank you Chime for releasing this absolute masterpiece!
Best Color Bass Album Ever. As someone who is into that genre, this album is one of a kind ☝️. Chime, salute to you for bringing us this masterpiece.🤩🤩🤩
This is true and unique album, combining different elements from videogames, soundfonts, chiptune sound design, colour bass sounds, house, drum & bass more experimental stuff and even some orchestral elements (and Chime as a vocalist is awesome) Even the storyline about the album and its concept is something to expect from Chime, your memories becoming real into this virtual world and never return, is perfect Aetherborne defines Chime at its finest, thank you Chime for bringing this album to all of us
This album feels like a storytelling experience, and the concept of sending a message using music is truly epic. I believe that this concept is one of the most creative things I've ever witnessed in my entire life.
this has gotta be one of the most, if not THE best album of this year. like genuinely, the songs are incredible to listen to, the entire video is just pure eye candy, and the fact that all these songs manage to tell a story is just, absolutely wonderful. 1000/10 would listen to again
Absolutely beautiful, one of the best artistic projects ever to be created. Not only is this album immensely high quality throughout, but every moment has meaning. This is the perfect mesh between beauty, fun, emotion, depth, storytelling, creativity, and stylistic uniqueness. Chime, the amount of work you put into this album is clear, it is simply magnificent display of sound design and melody. Absolutely wonderful stuff, thank you for constantly inspiring the music world and driving innovation and creativity. You are a treasure :D
I don’t exactly know why, but this album resonated with me as a gay teen alot. In a world where you barely see any likeable representation this is just so fresh, I needed some gay art rn. But seriously, this album is sooo much more than that. Every song fits into this journey to the aether so well, the concept of the different biomes almost feels like a D&D campaign or a plattformer like Getting Over It. Thanks Chime! 💜💜💜
Sheesh, i was on the early stream and all i can say is that you're one of the most creative artist i know ! That album is a perfect exemple of what i'm saying. Congrats man ! You've done an amazing job ✌️
I can say that with full certainty that Chime is the most skilled music producer in the world. Nobody else does what he does with sound design. Crazy album.
There is absolutely no question about it, this is without a doubt one the best albums of 2023. Arguably this decade even. From start to finish it's filled with passion and love from Chime's past all the way to now. This is absolutely an album to remember.
I've listened to this on Spotify before it came out and holy shit Chime, I am truly amazed how far you came since I first listened to you on NCS. Keep growing and keep evolving this masterpiece called Colour Bass.
I first discovered you two years ago, when a friend all but forced me to listen to pixel perfect. but I'm glad he did. Chime, watching you embark on this journey has been amazing to say the least and I still cannot believe that I got to meet you in atlanta with Au5. I may not be a long time fan but I still have seen you come a long way. keep at it! this album is 100% my favourite. and I can't wait for more stuff from you!
This... This is the best track, song, anything... I've ever heard. This was such a journey to listen to, everything was so smooth and just incredible. The lore behind it too, which I myself have participated in decoding, is just so vast and so intriguing. I'm in love with this album, Chime. 1500/10 album.
Dialogues in Aetherspeak: 0:00 Into The Machine: Help (8 times) Initializing Machine: Finally you have arrived Your help is needed, we are broken Only you can reform our fragments For this, you will be granted eternal life among the stars There is no return Do you accept our Quest? "Clicks yes" Step into the machine 1:00:54 Mindburn: Take my place 1:09:58 ???: Why am I still here? This is all wrong The promise was false Will I remain here for eternity? Wait! I am the Grand Chime now This makes no sense Get me the hell out of here! Help (12 times)
I don't think or know that anyone will read this, but.. Woah... This album spoke to my sould, and i got teared for 5 times. That was the most beautiful experience i was ever into. And the most interesting fact, that before i listened to this, youtube gave me a recommended for the most melodical song (in my opinion) wait for me, When i fully listened it, i quick got on your chanell and that masterpiece was here. Worth the wait, and i loved and will love everything of it. I am looking forvard for more tracks from you, Chime! You said very true facts, and i love people who are not scared of being real and honest. You're the best music producer ever.
This album brought me to tears of joy at the end. This might be one of my favorite albums of all time. It really feels like an adventure to the promised land of Aetherborne. All songs were great. I’m excited for what’s to come in the future.😊
Of all the Chime songs that I listen to, of all of them it has been a unique experience and totally different from what I have seen before. One of the things that I love the most is the connection that the songs have Songs with each other you feel in a different and new world perhaps from there the virtual world theme without a doubt the best album that chime has done so far 🌈🔥
Chime..... Another Homer out the friggin park my bro! When it comes to sprite work in your melodies it's like HEAVEN brother! Don't ever stop creating bro!
I listened this album on spotify and this is really fire❤ The transition to the next song is something that i loved so much and the new version of starstorm is Gorgeous Chime can i do these song for my launchpad video? I’m sure they’ll look sick ok on the launchpad
I'm gonna copy what I said on Album Of The Year: "This is in my opinion one of the best albums to come out of the edm/bass music scene, period. Like, I knew the album was gonna be good, but I didn’t think it’d be THIS GOOD. With the remastered older tracks, to the seamless transitions, and the storytelling here. This album was crafted with clear, genuine care. Even if there are individual aspects of some of the songs that I don’t like, it never took away from the overall listening experience. Godspeed Chime, you glorious son of a bitch."
I really appreciate the work he put on this album,especially for MINDBURN! chime really tried to do something special & different from his comfort zone and he made it.I love every song in this album,This should be my favourite album of all time :) thankyou chime for giving us great music :'D
this album was incredible... I have no word for this master peace... Thank you chime 🙏 BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR! ❤️🤎🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍 Edit : WHAT THE MESSAGE AT THE END GOD?!?
Definitely a new album full of many emotions and feelings, some tracks were already available before but it doesn't take away the feeling when listening to the album. I consider that he is one of the minors that he has taken out and will remain as the best of all time. Long live Melodic Dubstep and Chime!!!
This album has really grown on me. It's just so good! Every song a masterpiece. I love the story it sews as well, I like making up a different way the plotline unfolds different times I listen to it. To me, this is peak Chime. Definitely in my top 5 albums of all time!
Man i know its not your intention but this is such a massive flex i mean you done 10 out of 10 in all the different styles throughout the album but not just that its also the sound design, the storytelling you also sing and i think you do the visuals as well. What a genius and what a masterpiece of album. Felt one with universe listening so thanks, thanks for giving us this music since the times of the old dec3mber and the even older caution and crisis times huge thanks Harvey.
Chime the amount of work that you put into this definitely payed off man. This is the absolute best music I've ever heard in my life and the best visual effects and just everything that was put into this album. Thank you so much for making this masterpiece for all of us to listen to, and as I said last time, I really hope this skyrockets in popularity, because my man, you deserve millions, if not billions of views for this kind of stuff. Amazing work all around and im so happy to finally see this come out. Time to listen to this whole album for months straight haha! Much love
Chime if you see this thank you again for creating such amazing music keep it going man 🤘🤘 live long and prosper 🖖 🔥🔥your music has gotten me through some darker times in years past. 🫡 here’s to more years and awesome wubs can’t wait to see what’s next 🤘
what I like the most about the album is that some of the songs connect to other songs that he made previously 🌫💫🌌🎆 I am moved by this album! It truly felt like it transported me into a new planet in an eternal dimension and this is so beautiful...this makes me think about life and my existence and my death and rebirth pass the tunnel and horizon in the virtual paradise of euphoria and sorrow crafted by pixels and code. It’s like I’m being built again, being recreated into a elemental machine with the powers to feel and create, but after this sensation I’ll leave all my memories behind and recreate myself again into a new life... Thanks chime for the message and album!
this and the minecraft OST are the only albums I've listened to fully, this album is amazing and your songs in general have made my bus journeys to and from school a whole lot less dull, thanks for that lol

So true! I just love it when music tells stories, and Chime did it ever so flawlessly.
Now all we need is a lore video lmho
From my personal discovery, Skybreak does this too with his Moonglow EP.
check out No Limits LP by modus
@@BVK. i love moonglow it is one of my favorite eps
@@natansme check out modus in june
When an album tells a story, I think there's nothing more to immerse yourself in the tracks.
Aetherborne was a journey through Chime's mind, and that's what imo make this album perfection. It's about storytelling, and that's what I love, creating story while hearing music.
It's no only an album, it's a world that has been create. Thank you Chime for this work.

In "From Atoms to Pixels" is very clear when the person here feels some kind of anxiety during the process of transformation, because every time he accepts his death or realizes he would never go back the song just glitches
AND MINDBURN HOLLY HELL, A LITTERAL BOSSFIGHT AGAINST WHATS IN YOUR MIND
"THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PEACEFUL PLACE" was my favorite line
I love everything in this album, this whole journey, it's something beyond me and i love it
Though the machine calling for "Help" is making me think a lot
Is it a cycle? Or is there someone else inside the machine calling for help? Sure a lot to theorize!!
What i wanted to say is just thank you. As a person with anxiety i appreciate every feeling put into this album, because we could be feeling good and all of the sudden we get buried into a panic attack, blaming ourselves for not being strong enough, when we clearly are.
Thank you for this journey
Love you man
Keep it up and wish you the best!!
❤🔥🎶
there's someone in the machine calling for help

The main character is Chime himself
Honestly, this may be my favorite as well, it’s stellar.
yes. Definitely good songs😊

This is true and unique album, combining different elements from videogames, soundfonts, chiptune sound design, colour bass sounds, house, drum & bass more experimental stuff and even some orchestral elements (and Chime as a vocalist is awesome)
Even the storyline about the album and its concept is something to expect from Chime, your memories becoming real into this virtual world and never return, is perfect
Aetherborne defines Chime at its finest, thank you Chime for bringing this album to all of us
Actually I'm making levels in Geometry Dash with all songs of this album, including "into the machine" and "???"
I l❤ve you so much Ch🎉me
The Only One You Are Able To Use At The Moment Is Beyond The Peak
@@TheHollowAxolotl That's right, "at the moment" I'm very focus in this amazing proyect that will be updated in 2.2
@@SanDwiXD37It's been 8 months, how's the progress, mate?
This album feels like a storytelling experience, and the concept of sending a message using music is truly epic. I believe that this concept is one of the most creative things I've ever witnessed in my entire life.
this has gotta be one of the most, if not THE best album of this year. like genuinely, the songs are incredible to listen to, the entire video is just pure eye candy, and the fact that all these songs manage to tell a story is just, absolutely wonderful. 1000/10 would listen to again
Absolutely beautiful, one of the best artistic projects ever to be created. Not only is this album immensely high quality throughout, but every moment has meaning. This is the perfect mesh between beauty, fun, emotion, depth, storytelling, creativity, and stylistic uniqueness. Chime, the amount of work you put into this album is clear, it is simply magnificent display of sound design and melody. Absolutely wonderful stuff, thank you for constantly inspiring the music world and driving innovation and creativity. You are a treasure :D
I don’t exactly know why, but this album resonated with me as a gay teen alot. In a world where you barely see any likeable representation this is just so fresh, I needed some gay art rn. But seriously, this album is sooo much more than that. Every song fits into this journey to the aether so well, the concept of the different biomes almost feels like a D&D campaign or a plattformer like Getting Over It. Thanks Chime! 💜💜💜
💙🔥💙
Love your music my dude c:
I dont know HOW but at the first time I heard this album, becomes my favorite, with: Simulation Album - Virtual Riot, and also Uprising - Teminite

Your welcome !
@@pokevalfor me its 17
Sheesh, i was on the early stream and all i can say is that you're one of the most creative artist i know ! That album is a perfect exemple of what i'm saying. Congrats man ! You've done an amazing job ✌️
I just love that you made more than perfect transitions between the tracks 😭❤
This isn't an album.
It's an audio-visual experience, a trip and a life lesson combined into this hour long masterpiece 10/10
yeah
Amé este álbum, y agradezco a la vida, por todo lo que pasó para llegar hasta esta carta de amor a la música. ❤
Te queremos, Chime. ✨️🌲
I can say that with full certainty that Chime is the most skilled music producer in the world. Nobody else does what he does with sound design. Crazy album.
Man the beginning of Homeworld is SO GOOD. From piano to weird-sounding machine-like EDM to full blown EDM. So great.
yeah true
There is absolutely no question about it, this is without a doubt one the best albums of 2023. Arguably this decade even. From start to finish it's filled with passion and love from Chime's past all the way to now. This is absolutely an album to remember.
I've listened to this on Spotify before it came out and holy shit Chime, I am truly amazed how far you came since I first listened to you on NCS. Keep growing and keep evolving this masterpiece called Colour Bass.
Best album I have ever heard. Pure masterpiece 🙀🙀🙀
I first discovered you two years ago, when a friend all but forced me to listen to pixel perfect. but I'm glad he did. Chime, watching you embark on this journey has been amazing to say the least and I still cannot believe that I got to meet you in atlanta with Au5. I may not be a long time fan but I still have seen you come a long way. keep at it! this album is 100% my favourite. and I can't wait for more stuff from you!
Zephyr and Starstorm sounds different but still this album was the best ever!
Happy 1 year anniversary! It is still my favorite album
35:53 Beyond The Peak is an song made for skybreakers
This... This is the best track, song, anything... I've ever heard. This was such a journey to listen to, everything was so smooth and just incredible. The lore behind it too, which I myself have participated in decoding, is just so vast and so intriguing. I'm in love with this album, Chime. 1500/10 album.
lore pls

This is Pendulum and Illenium and other greats quality album
5:44 its Wulzy
I don't think or know that anyone will read this, but..
Woah...
This album spoke to my sould, and i got teared for 5 times. That was the most beautiful experience i was ever into.
And the most interesting fact, that before i listened to this, youtube gave me a recommended for the most melodical song (in my opinion) wait for me, When i fully listened it, i quick got on your chanell and that masterpiece was here.
Worth the wait, and i loved and will love everything of it.
I am looking forvard for more tracks from you, Chime!
You said very true facts, and i love people who are not scared of being real and honest.
You're the best music producer ever.
AMAZING WORK CHIME!!
I found a panda in the wild
The new album was fire ngl ❤❤❤
I'll never stop coming back to this. 🔥
This album brought me to tears of joy at the end. This might be one of my favorite albums of all time. It really feels like an adventure to the promised land of Aetherborne. All songs were great. I’m excited for what’s to come in the future.😊
Of all the Chime songs that I listen to, of all of them it has been a unique experience and totally different from what I have seen before. One of the things that I love the most is the connection that the songs have Songs with each other you feel in a different and new world perhaps from there the virtual world theme without a doubt the best album that chime has done so far 🌈🔥
Only 6 more months until I have to put 75463 hours of my time & 100% of my energy into some anivsersary art/animation.
Chime..... Another Homer out the friggin park my bro! When it comes to sprite work in your melodies it's like HEAVEN brother! Don't ever stop creating bro!
I listened this album on spotify and this is really fire❤
The transition to the next song is something that i loved so much and the new version of starstorm is Gorgeous
Chime can i do these song for my launchpad video?
I’m sure they’ll look sick ok on the launchpad
i'm not chime but yes, you can do it
I'm gonna copy what I said on Album Of The Year:
"This is in my opinion one of the best albums to come out of the edm/bass music scene, period. Like, I knew the album was gonna be good, but I didn’t think it’d be THIS GOOD. With the remastered older tracks, to the seamless transitions, and the storytelling here. This album was crafted with clear, genuine care. Even if there are individual aspects of some of the songs that I don’t like, it never took away from the overall listening experience.
Godspeed Chime, you glorious son of a bitch."
I really appreciate the work he put on this album,especially for MINDBURN! chime really tried to do something special & different from his comfort zone and he made it.I love every song in this album,This should be my favourite album of all time :) thankyou chime for giving us great music :'D
We need a physical format of the album 💿
You did a fanstastic job!
Chime you’re a genius❤
chime, thank u so much for this wonderful album. everything here is so immersive and it tells a story, what a perfect album.
Downloaded every song from the album. You have done a wonderful job Chime. You’re amazing
Bro the intermocular lullaby when he says i wish i could fly that is the amazing part of it
exactly! I think so too bro
To anyone who says "The perfect album doesn't exist," EXPLAIN THIS?
this album was incredible... I have no word for this master peace... Thank you chime 🙏 BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR! ❤️🤎🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍
Edit : WHAT THE MESSAGE AT THE END GOD?!?
This is absolutely amazing and I've played it over 10 times since it came out
It's the culmination of Chime's journey.
This is amazing it's so good bro
Can I marry this album?
Eres el mejor chime te mando saludos desde México tu música es genial que hasta aquí llega tu estilo ❤
1:10:29 - 0:10 is just so intimidating i love it
Definitely a new album full of many emotions and feelings, some tracks were already available before but it doesn't take away the feeling when listening to the album. I consider that he is one of the minors that he has taken out and will remain as the best of all time. Long live Melodic Dubstep and Chime!!!
It's finally Story Experience Of Aetherborne
Tremenda obra maestra, estos si son lanzamientos de los buenos... Chime es otro level
This album has really grown on me. It's just so good! Every song a masterpiece. I love the story it sews as well, I like making up a different way the plotline unfolds different times I listen to it. To me, this is peak Chime. Definitely in my top 5 albums of all time!
Man i know its not your intention but this is such a massive flex i mean you done 10 out of 10 in all the different styles throughout the album but not just that its also the sound design, the storytelling you also sing and i think you do the visuals as well. What a genius and what a masterpiece of album. Felt one with universe listening so thanks, thanks for giving us this music since the times of the old dec3mber and the even older caution and crisis times huge thanks Harvey.
Waiting for chime ace aura & bemani & HuΣeR sample pack melodic riddim vol.2!!!
Parabéns chime pelo álbum, vamos nos encontrar em breve por ai ❤❤
is the Aetherborne mix of Bloom different from the original from 2020?
Chime the amount of work that you put into this definitely payed off man. This is the absolute best music I've ever heard in my life and the best visual effects and just everything that was put into this album. Thank you so much for making this masterpiece for all of us to listen to, and as I said last time, I really hope this skyrockets in popularity, because my man, you deserve millions, if not billions of views for this kind of stuff. Amazing work all around and im so happy to finally see this come out. Time to listen to this whole album for months straight haha! Much love
Chime if you see this thank you again for creating such amazing music keep it going man 🤘🤘 live long and prosper 🖖 🔥🔥your music has gotten me through some darker times in years past. 🫡 here’s to more years and awesome wubs can’t wait to see what’s next 🤘
this is one of the best albums in all of electronic music guaranteed.
Am I the only one that listened to these drops fx... that sound like the ones of "Subterrain"??
Very skillful producer! ❤
holy fuck that Aetherborne speedup bit was incredible, absolutely beautiful man. Great album, loss of words for this one lol
Wow that’s a lot of talent right there, Dec3mber… I MEAN, CHIME😅
I still remember going absolutely INSANE to Mindburn
TOO PERFECT
Best Electronic album of 2023
Amazing work, this is a whole experience. 🔥 really great debut.
what I like the most about the album is that some of the songs connect to other songs that he made previously 🌫💫🌌🎆
I am moved by this album! It truly felt like it transported me into a new planet in an eternal dimension and this is so beautiful...this makes me think about life and my existence and my death and rebirth pass the tunnel and horizon in the virtual paradise of euphoria and sorrow crafted by pixels and code. It’s like I’m being built again, being recreated into a elemental machine with the powers to feel and create, but after this sensation I’ll leave all my memories behind and recreate myself again into a new life...
Thanks chime for the message and album!
this is fucking peak music and vfx
You hold the torch
Intermolecular lullaby sent me into tears what the heck...
this and the minecraft OST are the only albums I've listened to fully, this album is amazing and your songs in general have made my bus journeys to and from school a whole lot less dull, thanks for that lol
