Mystified’s “Altered Signals 2″ is essentially an E.P., though it was created by remixing a full-length release. This remix E.P. contains 5 techno remixes of drone tracks originally appearing in “Altered Signals” (Darkwinter, 2008).
Beats, percussion sounds and electronic sequences add special flavor to the ambient tracks, making them especially listenable.

In 2008, mystified released a greatly-received ambient drone album through Small Doses Records ( http://www.small-doses.com ) called “Skywatchers”. Not only was “Skywatchers” popular, it was also critically acclaimed, with nary a negative review.
Mystified decided to revisit the drone pieces from “Skywatchers”, setting them to techno and electronica sounds, for “Skywatchers 2″. This follows mystified’s pattern of blending abstract drones and beats. “Skywatchers 2″ is, then, a remix album, the beats breathing new life into the original sounds.
Both “Skywatchers” and “Skywatchers 2″ are dedicated to people who search the skies for meaning and beauty– special thanks, Grand-Dad.
