"Absolutely first class psychedelic ambient"
Bob Rusche
ESE came from Milano, Italy and is a collective of two (plus some collaborations) that loves music and try to communicate within the music itself their emotions, feelings, philosophy and vision of the world. The magic stream of the music that awakes our internal sounds is the key of our experience and what we want to say through our music. Piero Marchesi & Stefano Contini started collaborating in 1999, coming from different musical experiences. They joined throw a common interest for ethnological & ethnobotanical studies, a long friendship merged in a musical ambient-electro project: [ESE] Entheogenic Sound Explorers.
Invited for some live gigs in Amsterdam we had the opportunity of refining what became our latest musical work. Different songs in fact were arranged and mastered between Milano and Amsterdam (where Stefano was working at that time). ESE were broadcasted different times on RAI (Italian national radio), plus played differentlive gigs in Italy.
Pure original sounds and samplings taken from different locations around the world (especially Mexico) were added on this masterpiece.
this Album represent a meditative situation;¦.a voyage throw the consciousness of Ancient Spaces, where the time is just an idea that flows away. Nature is one of the great Doors between us and those Sacred Spaces.
In short words what you can find on The Shrooms Experience are Selected Ambient Tunes & Extra-sensorial Sounds!
The second album "The Other Door" published by Databloem had very good reviews.:
ESE – The Other Door
At the end of every year I make a list of the best records released in that particular year, and in 2007 The Shroom Experience by the Italian duo ESE reached to number seven. This was their debut, and in the review I wrote that I did not know what ESE stands for. Now I know. What we have here are Entheogenic Sound Explorers, Stefano Contini and Piero Marchesi.
The Other Door is the second release, and the second is always difficult if the first one is really great. Well, if you are looking for another first class psychedelic album, this is it. This album starts of rather smooth with melodic synths in a track called The Fountain. The voices come in track three, In Memory Of Dr. Hofmann, with the voice of Albert Hofmann himself, which sets the tone for a psychedelic experience. Further on you can here monks on beautiful synths in a track called Ambient Monks. The best tracks are at the end of the album, with Entheogenic Sound and Method of Divisions. Slow rhythms and hidden voices, which really opens the other door. You may think of The Orb in their best years, but this is much better than the latest Orb album (sorry Alex!). If Kim Cascone was still running his Silent Records, then this would be on it. Anyone remembering the Fifty Years Of Sunshine Compilation? Well, this is fifty minutes of sunshine!
The label Silent Records is gone, but we have Databloem now. And this an essential album for anyone into laid back and psychedelic sounds.

THE OTHER DOOR-ESE NEW ALBUM-CLICKHERE
ESE's follow up to the acclaimed The Shroom Experience debut album on our Practising Nature sister label.
The Other Door showcases the more catchy, ambient dub influenced (The Orb) side of the band. Melodic synth sounds, varied rhythmic elements, psychedelic effects and an occasional guitar combine into a lovely, timeless sound.
THE SHROOM EXPERIENCE-FIRST ENTHEOGENIC SOUND ALBUM
Entheogenic Sound Explorers remarkable debut. Fresh and creative ambient/electronica with a psychedelic shroomy touch.
1- Explorers (10:15) 2- Against the Wind (07:37) 3- To-and-Fro (08:32) 4- Starlight (05:43)
"Explorers features four tracks filled with spacy atmospheres and hypnotic grooves created by Dan E, one of the leading ambient music artists from Brazil. After mesmerizing audiences with DJ sets for years, Flict is now touring the country with his fresh new live act designed to induce a introspective journey through the listener mind."
