So are there any albums that are similar to Prometheus’ Spike release? If so, i’m dying to hear them.

This is a bit of tough one as I find Spike such a distictive electronic album, you could try:

Solar Fields - Earthshine (trance’ish but more electronic than psy and his only uptempo album to date)

Aes Dana - Life (again very electronic and down tempo but a very good driving sound to it, I haven’t heard his latest album as yet which is called 360.

If I think of any others I’ll get back to you but I think Benji did an excellent job of producing an album which sits by itself in terms of style, I’m still enjoying it.

“Life” and “360” are Asura’s albums. wink

Eartshine is one outstanding album with ‘Cruise’ as my favourite track. I’ve been listening to this album for some years now and it’s still amazing every time it fills my ears and brains. Anyhow I consider it to be way more trance’ish than Spike, thus i wouldn’t compare both albums.

I find Spike to be very unique and 100% vaughn’ish ( smile ) and I like it a lot. The only other not too psy’ish (but vaughn’ish nonetheless) album that comes to my mind would be ‘Big Bang’ by ‘The Zap!’.

I think Prometheus is his-own-kind. These are somewhat comparable:
Tristan’s Chemisphere
KoxBox’s U-Turn
the Crystal Skulls albums
Tajmahal’s Star Circus
Flooting Grooves’ Upsyde Down
Globular’s stuff
Radioactive Sandwich
some of Entheogenic
some of Space Tribe
some compilation albums you’d have to search for, like Red, Dragonfly Classix, the :Nations series, the Infinite Excusions series, God Save the Machine, ...
maybe Madboojah,
Pitch Black,
Psilogod,
Slackbaba,

That Solar Fields album seems like good stuff, thx for the rec. Love his other albums, i’m sure he makes some good upbeat stuff too.

Also, after listening to the samples, it seems like this release from Ticon might be kinda close to the Spike sound: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/dig/dig1cd017.html

Well, the new System 7 should be out soon.

Definitely worth checking out!

Spacey and tech-ish. Creative and uplifting.
