solverine Fortunately, I was introduced to this album when I was young. It significantly influenced my taste in music in the years that followed. Favorite track: Together in Silence.

Papa Kuma Amazing album! In 1999 at a Blue Room party in San Francisco, a Dj gifted me a mixed tape he made, and both On Air and Together in Silence were on that mix. We used to listen to what we called "The Tape" with my brother and friends after every night out we had and I'll never forget these tracks! TY! Favorite track: On Air.

Louigi I remember listening to this album and realizing how sophisticated it is. And that the level of development in every tune and attention to detail is classical music grade. I definitely hope that this is studied somewhere as an example of not just deeply enjoyable music, but also the craft of electronic music at its finest. Favorite track: On Air.

about

Saafi Brothers walk a deep line between trippy vibes and blissed out beats. The origins of Saafi Brothers are long and storied, their brand of smoky, world-weary ambient dub first arising from the Blue Room label.


Soul wrenching deep ambient tunes are layered gently into tranced and bassy beats. Saafi Brothers' debut "Mystic Cigarettes" came out in 1997 on the british label Blue Room Released. With the today classic psydub album, the project consisting of Frankfurt/Germany based producers Gabriel Le Mar, Groovetitan and Michael Kohlbecker, immediately placed itself among the artists of the electronic ambient scene.


"Sweet Sirenes" starts off the voyage with bopping drums over a wide soundscape that increase in pace to reach an enfolding crescendo. "On Air" gets down and dubby as does the ample and floating "2046" both with a subtile but effective sprinkling of "classical Indian Vibers". "Together in Silence“ echoes through the magic of psychedelic ambient. Saafi Brothers get deeper into "low-down dub" and add drum trills that get the tune rocking only to space out.


It was logical to see a packet of mystic cigarettes on the cover, designed by Simon Ghahary with the fantastic artwork by Brahma Templeman.
