yes - that is correct - INRE 013 does not exist and that is how it is
sebcharasse Aug 12, 2010
Anyone noticed there's no INRE 13 ?? is that superstition?

(just for the sake of information, for those not knowing, the "INRE" code for Ultimae releases was kept from the previous name Infinium Records. btw My Farenheit 1 album is an Infinium Recs release)
Review by 5meohd Feb 04, 2010 (edited over 2 years ago)
Sometimes I find myself having this weird thought that "although an excellent sound, ultimae somehow has a generic "each album is the same sound, sound"".

But then I actually go back and listen to something and am completely blown, or rather, drifted away into spiraling thoughts of musical wonder.

I believe my original impressions were due to my immaturity of electronic music in general. I now attempt to create my own music and while this has managed to help me appreciate some genres/artists less, it has most defenatly helped me appreciate every bar of every ultimae release thus far.

Put it this way.. being broke brings me to piracy.. but I'm already a member of there newsletter and can not wait for the day I can afford to just click "purchase" with 100% glee upon each email.

No other label has struck me with this feeling except for somnia records.. I beleive its due to not only the beautiful intellectual rythms and space, but also the gut feeling of supporting real people that somehow seem "good" in all ways.
Review by Warpfuz Aug 10, 2009
I think Ultimae Records is still going strong in many ways. With artists like Solar Fields and Aes Dana that still keeps releasing albums that just are getting better and better I can't yet see any stop for this label.
Not only the music makes the label an outpost of soft, experimental electronica, but the decision of still releasing the material on CD, as not many labels actually do that nowadays. And the Digipak format brings that extra touch of freshness when you listen to the music, while exploring the cover and booklet.
Also the different collections, for example Solar Fields' five first albums and six compilations of The Fahrenheit Project, is a great way for newcoming fans to get hold of a whole collection in an easy way.
So far, Ultimae is doing just the right thing.

Ultimae Records music is pretty much unlike anything else out there. Acts like Solar Fields, Carbon Based Lifeforms and Aes Dana are clearly in a league of their own when it comes creating downtempo chill music. Space, technology and nature all seem to co-exist in their sound and there hasn't been a release on the label that has ever let me down. They always go with a digipak when releasing their music, which normally I hate, but with such beautiful and interesting artwork... I guess I can't complain. I hope these guys are around for a very, very long time.
Review by SkeletonMan Feb 15, 2007 (edited over 5 years ago)
I reckon for many psy-ambient lovers Ultimae fastly became the #1 label to look out for. For obvious reasons. Their releases, whether full length artist albums or compilations, never fail to deliver and the presentation in beautifully designed digipacks is always an experience in itself. Hell, I'm inclined to wear white gloves when I handle the albums, but that probably would be taking it TOO far ...

Add to this second to none friendly service when purchasing from their webshop. What more can a music groupie ask for? It's a lifelong addiction once you're hooked :o)

And for those who want to kickstart their Ultimae collection, check out their so-called Panoramic pack.
