The subtle complexity of the rhythmic underpinning on "soft landing" pretty much made my head explode.
A truly amazing release. |

This is one outstanding release. Seriously. It's worth burning to CD -- and that's my highest praise for the netaudio I listen to. Means it's worthy of permanent storage so it'll survive anything, because it needs to be listened to over and over again.
Now, in years past, Planet Boelex has pretty much always been decent, full of good tunes that work for any weather, season, mood, and lighting level. In particular, the EPs of "Second Thoughts", "Misplaced", and "Sinking in the Soup" are particularly noteworthy. But I'm pleased to say that this release blows 'em all out of the water.
The whole album is eminently listenable from start to finish. On repeat. Track 3 and 6 in particular got my attention. I actually listened to the whole album laying back, then immediately went for a few miles' walk today listening to it again, just to experience it with hot sunshine and the occasional cool breeze.
Mmmmm, mooooooodfood. Gimme! |

I’ve been listening to Ossi’s work since 2005, and I have been privileged with some of his unreleased tracks and sets, which I still keep in a very special place on my drive. Needles to say, I’ve got a soft spot for Planet Boelex.
'Suunta' is one HELL of a pleasant surprise! It's exactly what I wanted to hear from him, exactly when I needed it the most. Meaning - “Misplaced” is a hefty fine album, filled with gorgeous soundscapes and melodies, all in all the perfect album, but it was still just the beginning. Today when I listen to it, I can still hear it…there is more in PB, and “Suunta” is that more, with a production that border genius.
‘Suunta’ is no doubt the best PB release to date. The production is perfect, with every sound getting just the right amount of weighting and personality. It contains sounds and emotions I thought were long gone, and touches parts of me that I never thought existed…the depth is simply second to none. It’s one of those albums that just keeps floating and I can’t see myself getting bored of it.
I am so glad the wait is finally over, and that he prevailed in more ways than one. I’m simply staggered by this…impressive (again)

I gave alot of praise on the netaudio london release and I am still in awe of the quality and the excellence of sounds that it put out. Suunta is no exception. These are the same beautiful sounds that you can expect to be soaking with emotion. A dreamscape of soft innocent melodies that take you through a pleasant journey. The mosaik collaboration is absolutely something to behold and a MUST listen. The vocals were a different touch, but they werent bad, so be opened minded and give it try! (If you like coldplay I think you will enjoy it. :) ) Nevertheless I will be listening to this release for sometime to come, just like I am still listening to netaudio. :)
Cheers and MUCH thanks Mr. PB for all your hard work. |

| Hehe, great! Seems to be material that Planet B. rendered on Klusa Daba :o) Very "pastellic" sounds. Whole album ingeniously melts together. Sweetest stuff i've heard in a while. Deep! Thank you for that! |

| :D The new Planet Boelex release "Suunta" is superb. The title Suunta,meaning direction is aprapos. This is a positive direction to be sure. Both melodic and with all the characteristics of the Planet Boelex sound this release soars into the stratosphere. The haunting and dreamlike atmospheres of the title track stay with you and are unforgetable. This is a mature work from an ambient artist that is redefining the genre. The sound quality as usual for Planet B. is excellent.(320 kbs in mp3 format)The production values are quite evident as this obvious labor of love shows. Highly recomended. |

...And now my post about Planet Boelex sound: basses are deep, strong but in the same time very delicate, like dad caress on his child face.
Boelex pads create a sweet and soft atmosphere, so the listeners can get a daydreams.
Finally, drum and percussions are very particular and sophisticated.
The whole Boelex music job is an example of perfect balance.
