Ophidian - Between the Candle and the Star

Press release:

Ophidian’s new album focuses on pure hardcore

With the release of his new double album Between the Candle and the Star Ophidian returns to his roots. Previous albums featured sidesteps to other genres, but this time the conscious decision was made to stick to the pure, raw hardcore with which he made his name in the past decennium. ,,By focussing on that I could showcase my own sound,'' says the 32-year-old producer, who worked on the album for two years. ,,It may be a less broad palette genre-wise, but not less diverse musically.''

Between the Candle and the Star is the third Ophidian-album to be released. Blackbox, his first album on Enzyme Records from 2003, is still one of the most sought-after releases in the scene. Tracks like Butterfly VIP, So Many Sacrifices and Abandon are hailed as hardcore-classics and are still played every weekend at parties in The Netherlands and all over the world. This new double album has all the ingredients to deliver more hits: The two CDs are filled to the brim with no less than 25 phat tracks.

No half-assed work then, but over two-and-a-half hours of pure hardcore like hardcore was meant to be. Over half of the tracks were produced specifically for the album and have not yet been featured anywhere else. Where Ophidian worked solo on his previous albums, this time around he has teamed up with known acts like Ruffneck, Tapage and The Outside Agency, but also spent quality studio time with new collaborators like Tha Playah and Minckz. Also featured are remixes of his tracks by among others Rude Awakening and The Viper. He himself worked on remixes for DJ Promo, Angel and Miss Hysteria. On the album, disc 1 features mainly the brand new songs and collabs, and disc 2 is a collection of the remixes and tracks recently released on other labels.

The album title refers to the place humans inhabit in the universe. Ophidian: ,,The candle is a tiny light, the star the largest we know. We exist somewhere in between. I think it’s wonderful to think that we live in a cosmos we know so little about, and feel that it’s very inspiring to realize just how much we still have to learn. Science was a huge inspiration for me while working on the album.''

At an intimate showcase in Amersfoort last month Ophidian presented the tracks to a select group of fans. The lucky 300 who were present know what the rest missed: deep and powerful hardcore tracks!

Creating the future =  

Putain moi c'est The Rain que je kiff a fond

J'ai commandé l'album
Tellement Hâte !

Je suis sur d'autres forums et je regarde un peu ce qui se dit, mais c'est hallucinant le nombre de personnes qui se plaignent de cet album  

C'est quoi leur problème ? Ils ont envie de "casser du Ophidian" histoire de se croire tout puissants ?  

Au moins je suis content de voir que sur Trip & Teuf on respecte son travail. Y'a quand même des super bombes dans cet album, même si on peut ne pas tout aimer...

Popopo il est trop bon cette album

Comment on ne peut pas aimer cette album ?
C'est tuerie sur tuerie !
L'album est composé que des versions full
PAIE TES AMBIANCES DANS TOUTES LES TRACKS !

Je vois absolument rien à redire dessus !

Quand je vois l'album "Retaliate" qui a fait un bruit pas possible, alors que là, je trouvais la plupart des tracks vides ! Mais bon, c'est Angerfist donc c'est bien ...

ouai sinon faudrait ptet déplacer le sujet dans la bonne section ^^

Nan laisse tomber, c'est ce que j'avais fait, mais le sujet a été delete, je me demande pourquoi d'ailleurs...

Ouai j'avoue, y'a de bonnes ambiances dans chacune des tracks, on sent qu'il est bossé cet album, pas comme certains artistes qui sortent des tracks toutes les semaines pour dire d'en sortir quoi !

Je plussois !

Les gars, je viens d'écouter "The Void (Fade) + The rain" en FULL

Juste un mot : WOW !

Vraiment hâte de l'avoir, sûrement en même temps que TSOS !
