Spicelab – A Day On Our Planet

Simply one of the best electronic albums ever released. Every track is a journey. Oliver Lieb is a master of creating the spacy sound. And he truly shows it in "A Day on our planet".
And the CD haven't aged a bit 30 years later on. There's so much goodness here. Falling is probably my favourite piece.
Truly a masterful piece of music. Thank you mr Lieb for your effort!

I know i am exaggerating, but for me personaly Oliver Lieb is the greatest human of the 19th century. He was the first which showed how much beauty and creativity can lie in dark music and moving boundaries in electronic music like no other. Spicelab is a perfect example of not caring about labels and genres, just pure music. You can feel this project was probably pure fun for him in the studio. I cant find any better example of how "alien" music could sound.

This is by far not one of my favourite albums of him, but its a masterpiece, pure art of electronic music and it shows what a genious and how ahead of the time he was.

This album has aged surprisingly well, and it's a real pleasure to listen to Lieb's remastered version. It's amazing how great this sounds today...given it's age - it's an easy listen; packed full of variety.

It's a piece of art really and it sits up there with Lieb's finest.

These days, it's not easy listening to late 90s trance. The thumping pace and dense layers make it a product of it's time. This album however, with it's minimal and pure tone reminds you that this is what trance was supposed to be.

To describe this album as one of the finest in trance is to massively underestimate its scale and ambition. There may be only 4 tracks but it is an immersive experience to be enjoyed in its entirety, taking you through a variety of moods and atmospheres from soporific ambience to acidic dancefloor intensity. The intricate, psychedelic production sounds incredible in headphones or good quality hi-fi - shut your eyes and surrender to the waves of sound for maximum effect. 25 years later, A Day On Our Planet compares favourably with anything by household names of the same era like The Orb, Leftfield or Underworld.

I have to agree with all these comments - Falling is Lieb's magnum - Your comment's transcend

90's closure

still his Opus

It is a RIP track

Is everybody inspired :)

Spicelab "Falling" is a Masterpiece that Transcends all genres in the electronic sphere. On par with some of the finest IDM/Trance/Techno/Ambient ever created. Reminds me of listening to Autechre's 444 for the first time sends chills up your spine. That's when you know a masterpiece has been created.

This is one of the best examples electronic music from the early 90s and a great show case for the sublime production skills of Oliver Lieb.

With just 4 tracks all over 15 mins long it covers trance, techno, ambient and real experimentation so typical of the Harthouse releases of the time.

The first track falling is truly awesome from its eerie build-up of almost 5 mins of spaced out sounds with samples from silence of the lambs till the high hats and drums kick in. From then it builds and builds to a crescendo of beautiful trance which would turn any dance floor into a mass of seething bodies. The final part is more perfect trance with multi layers of soring synths and break beats with samples from "The Hitch Hikers Guide to The Universe" BBC TV series from the early 80s. This is one of my favourite pieces of music across all genres and still sounds fresh after 20 years!

The rest of the Album contains more of the same excellent production with a more experimental, harder sound-still top stuff but never reaching the heights of the first track.

The final track finishes with pure bliss that is a mix of classical music and trance that has to be cranked up to max volume, yet again showing the what a consummate musician and composer Lieb is. A man who helped define and invent a genre caught at the height of his powers. Sheer brilliance!

The track "Falling" has always been, now and forever, the, obvious, soundtrack for my life; consisting a emotional ambivalence and beauty... I reckon that it will be played, and provide the atmosphere, at my funeral; while the pastor is preaching!?

30+ something now but still: goose bumps present themselves when listened to; while it also carries the memories of a past and cheerful, intoxicated, youth.

Amen
