Vibrasphere - Downbeats (Remastered) (2020)

It's a bit odd to think of Swedish duo Vibrasphere - now disbanded - as having helped write the book on dubby psychedelic chillout, given that their first full downtempo album didn't appear until seven years into their recording career. Yet I can't think of any other act in the 2000's which set standards higher in this sub-genre than they did. Rickard Berglof and Robert Elstermain's main forte was progressive psytrance for the dancefloor - a genre which they did very well - but Vibrasphere's less-frequent ambient outings allowed them more variety and was arguably a better showcase of their remarkable melodic gifts.
