Luminous Beings - Galactic Ambient Funkers LP LG007 Luminous Beings, the iconic electronic duo, is back after a 16-year hiatus with their latest album, "Galactic Ambient Funkers." Set for release on August 23, 2024, this album promises to be a sonic journey through a diverse landscape of electronic ambient music genres, featuring 19 meticulously crafted tracks. The duo, who met at the age of 15, bonded over their mutual passion for electronic music and slowly starting acquiring the necessary equipment to start writing music. They quickly made a name for themselves with their debut album, "Pretty Chill," in the late '90s. This deep meditative ambient concept album guided listeners through a continuously-mixed experience of engineered relaxation, blending hypnotizing audio with brainwave frequencies and binaural beats. Building on their success, Luminous Beings released "The Real You" in 2002, an album that incorporated guided meditation with downtempo beats and ambient soundscapes. In 2005, they followed up with "Dream Research," a chilled-out journey through the mind. Their fourth album, "The Future is...," came out in 2007, showcasing a more upbeat downtempo sound with the TB-303's iconic acid basslines. "Galactic Ambient Funkers" continues this legacy, featuring a rich mix of Ambient, Downtempo, Acid, Breakbeats, House, and Techno influences. The album is a testament to their evolving sound, influenced by legendary acts such as The KLF, The Orb, Underworld, Higher Intelligence Agency, Hardfloor, Plastikman, Orbital, and Substation. Luminous Beings have been a staple in the Chill-Room of many West Coast raves, renowned for their live performances with a bevy of analog synthesizers and drum machines. The TB-303, in particular, has become a signature element of their sound, adding a unique acid twist to their tracks. After a 16-year wait, "Galactic Ambient Funkers" is a highly anticipated release that promises to captivate both longtime fans and new listeners alike. Dive into the expansive and eclectic world of Luminous Beings as they take you on a journey through the sounds of Galactic Ambient Funk.
