  Raptor is a collection of fast, energetic, hard-driving punk rock songs by SHE SAID SAVE ME. Produced by Ryan Granville-Martin and Joe Vercillo, the album has a 90's punk rock vibe splitting the difference between Nirvana's grunge-punk side and Green Day's melodic power chord verse-chorus-verse simplicity.

  It was recorded at The Nucular Libary, The Lincoln County Social Club and Union Sound in Toronto, Canada. Play this one loud!

  She Said Save Me's debut self-titled album is a sincere, inspiring, and heart-warming experience straight from the heart of Canadian singer-songwriter Joe Vercillo. Recorded in the attic of a century home in Toronto, it's raw and pure sound sticks to Vercillo's life motto of keeping it simple and keeping it real. A mix between Acoustic, Folk, Punk, and Pop, all songs possess an extremely intimate, soothing and uplifting feel. And while most lyrics deal with the difficulties of life and relationships, there is always an underlying optimism and revelation of hope in each and every song. Vercillo's main message in the album is that you can make anything into a good thing.

  This collection of songs is mainly from the folk pop EPs and goes anywhere from catchy and upbeat to deep and emotional. Great to listen to on road trips or just before climbing in to bed, this She Said Save Me compilation has something for everyone.

  A full 78 minutes of Eastern Mediterranean soul food.

  Gorgeous songs from Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon and Bulgaria. Native Tongues. Traditional instruments. Elegant and Danceable. Well honed from hundreds of performances at concerts, festivals, weddings and private parties, Sherefe's rich sound is a melding of cello, bouzouki, oud, gadulka, saz, double bass, Middle Eastern percussion and evocative vocals (on 8 of the 12 songs).

  Featuring James Hoskins, Jesse Manno, Zahara McLellan, Paul Brown and special guest vocalist Beth Quist, this album weaves a path through folk dance, belly dance and middle eastern classical styles.

  Transition is the collection of old and new songs. Primary it is not the real album, but a new demo for promotion purposes. So if somebody want to know how "Shino" sounds like, he/she should listen to this album.

  However, because of the much better quality of the sound, it is worthwhile for all the people, who already know my music to re-experience these songs. Because with Transition the music is a bit closer to the listener. Furthermore there are two new songs (Melancholia and Fall Days), one very old, but never recorded song (Schlaflied - Lullaby) and "My Mistress" as guitar version.

  Transition stands for passage, change, even mutation and metamorphosis. This album presents a mental process, where the human personality is searching for the light, explanations, sense and in this way it can learn the inner cleaning. Everything that i want to come alive with these 21 songs, is some kind of catharsis of modern age - the search for the very own but abstract I.

  The order of the songs is chronological (not Schlaflied, it ought to be at the beginning) and some songs are much older than the project "Shino". In that way you can find the expression of my own search, my own catharsis, my own path in these songs.

  Thanks to everybody, who supports me! Everybody who listens to my songs... Everybody who can feel and understand my songs... Everybody who plays and distributes my songs... I am not the great musician and song-maker, i just want to give you a bit of vitality and pureness, with all the perfection and rawness. In the ecstasy to find the best riff, the fastest solo, the groviest equipment and the professional appearance, our world of music became very plastic and dead.

description:
  "Chominciamento di gioia", or "The Dawn of Joy", is the title of a dance from a collection of medieval instrumental pieces in what is known (quite prosaically) as British Library, Additional 29987.

  This manuscript, now in London, contains 119 compositions, all by composers of the Italian Trecento. Among the best known today are Francesco Landini, Niccolo da Perugia, and Jacopo da Bologna.

  The instrumental works in the manuscript are grouped together and consist of several Istanpitte, Salterelli, and other dances. All have intriguing names, such as the title dance of our CD. Another memorable title, Principio de Virtu, might refer to a connection of the manuscript with the Visconti family in Milan: Gian Galeazzo Visconti was known as the Count of Virtu.

  The Istanpitta, or Estampie, is the only medieval dance form for which descriptions as well as music have survived. Each phrase, or punctum, in an estampie is repeated. A refrain of differing length is inserted after each iteration of a phrase, alternating open and closed endings. The Salterello follows the same principle but tends to be shorter and less complicated in character.

  It is quite extraordinary that these dances were written down at all, since we know that the players of these pieces, known as minstrels or jongleurs, mostly improvised their art. Successful minstrels needed a tinker's bagful of talents. According to Guiraut de Calancon (Fadet Joglar), they were expected to play at least nine instruments, have a knack for storytelling and songwriting, sing, improvise dances, juggle, perform magic tricks, demonstrate acrobatic skills, catch little apples on knives, imitate birdsong, jump through four hoops, and, if possible, dance with bears!

  Although playing for dancers would have been an important part of the professional musicians' job, they didn't hesitate to play vocal works. They made their own arrangements or improvised on songs their audiences knew. Even in church this practice was not unknown: the famous hymn Ave maris stella served as the base for a highly ornamented version in the Faenza Codex, a 15th-century manuscript containing instrumental arrangements of mostly 14th-century vocal polyphony.

  Women played instruments, as amateurs and as professionals. Francesco da Barberino, in his Reggimento e costumi di donna, a 14th-c. treatise on the education of young women, states that they should learn to play instruments, especially the vielle and the harp; they should know how to sing and compose text and music and be able to perform these songs, accompanying themselves. In Boccaccio's Decameron female musicians outnumber the male players.

  Known for her strong, clear, powerful playing of the vielle (medieval violin, aka a "fiddle") Shira Kammen offers up a particularly vibrant collection of her work with this release of medieval songs from France, Italy, and Brittany. The album is named after the bitingly cold winter wind that flows from the Alps down to the Mediterranean coast, but the performances are all bright, joyous, and warm.

  John writes: My first exposure to Shira Kammen was during an all-day Medieval music festival in Berkeley, California, where she was doing an hourlong satire of early music entitled "La Foolia". I particularly remember Dowland's renaissance-smash-hit "Flow my Tears" performed on four accordeons. Shira plays the Vielle, which is a precursor to the violin, and it's where we get the word "fiddle" from. She a big deal in medieval circles, having been in many of the major groups that play this repertoire (Ensemble Alcatraz, Project Ars Nova, Sequentia, Hesperion XX and Boston Camerata). In "Ragged, Rent and Torn", Shira and friends turn their attention to the bawdy, fun and lewd songs of the period. The artistry is definitely taken seriously, but at the same time this is an album of music "just for fun".

  Brutal, down to earth thrash-metal with a good portion of progressive influences.

  This album bleeds together our individual musical backgrounds of metal music, permutating the different stylistic serene, melodic, thrashing, raving mad elements we hold so dear.

  By the sweat of our brows we were working by day and making music during night shifts, from composition, arrangements, lyrics, recording, production, mastering and artwork. Everything done by ourselves, anything you name it. The variety of broken vow reflects our friendship and independence we preserved over all the years.

  Our lifeblood is seeping through the songs. The end of life for some, a life source for others, so much came about, still so many deeds undone. At long last our music we like to share with all our friends and loved ones, on this and on the other side of life.

  ..no vow broken as much as the sacred oath of love..

  We are taken on a journey of revolution, of change, understanding and ultimately into the deep mysteries of the east. In tracks like Viva La Revolucion, We're All One and He'neya we are thrown into the middle of the conflicts as Yana leads the way in protest. From there we are taken on a journey of spiritual understanding throughout the east. In Anubis your mind will dance within the ancient temples of Egypt, you will take your spiritual journey further with tracks such as Desert of Yunus and Blue Healing. There are songs to make you dance, to make you cry, to have you stand up and scream to the skies... why!

  On India meets Persia Simone Angele and Amir Kalhor take the listener on an intricate musical journey. The artists explore the classical styles of India and Iran, using the traditional instruments of the respective countries: the Indian Sitar and the Persian Tar.

  The artists strive towards unity and come together in the two duets "India meets Persia" (track no. 2) and "Persia meets India" (track no. 5), where the two styles converge like two voices from different lands, each speaking with its own accent. The pieces "Kirvan" (track no. 1), "Isfahan" (track no. 3), "Solitidi" (track no. 4), and "Joys of Spring" (track no. 6) represent original Indian and Persian classical styles. "Sunny Days" (track no. 7), a pop piece with vocals and sitar, ends the musical journey and takes the listeners back to the west on a light note.

  Babua Pahari is the percussive force on Tabla and accompanies Simone Angele in the Indian pieces.

  On its album Mensa Sonora & Al., the Simplicissimus Ensemble presents music by the 17th century Austrian baroque composer Heinrich Biber. Published in 1680 under the title Mensa Sonora (Sonorous Table), his suites combine catchy melodies with accompaniments which are rich in counterpoints, are sensitively harmonized, but are never intrusive. In addition to his compositional skills, Biber's sensitivity to humor is also evident in several passages. Thus, these works are not only a 17th century lounge music of sorts; while easy to listen to, they are also musically complex compositions that can be enjoyed even without the feasts.

description:
  S.J. Pettersson's second classical release is an unorthodox opera (with as many instrumental tracks as vocal ones) based on the famous 1901 stage play "A Dream Play" by August Strindberg, one of Strindberg's most admired and influential dramas, seen as an important precursor to both dramatic expressionism and surrealism.

  Strindberg himself describes the play this way in his famous preface: "Everything can happen; everything is possible and likely to happen. Time and space do not exist; on an insignificant foundation of reality the imagination spills out and weaves new patterns - a concoction of memories, experiences, improbabilities and utterly free improvisations. The characters are split in twain, duplicate, multiply and evaporate. They condense, distill and again reunite. But one mind rises above them all. It is the Dreamer; for him there are no secrets, no consistencies, no scruples, no Law. He does not judge, nor gives out pardons but impartially relates the content of the dream itself. And as the dream often painful is, and much less often joyfully free-spirited, there is a tone of sadness and empathy with everything alive in this labyrinthine tale now beginning to unfold."

  The primary character in the play is Agnes, a daughter of the Vedic god Indra. She descends to Earth to bear witness to problems of human beings. She meets about 40 characters, some of them having a clearly symbolical value (such as four deans representing theology, philosophy, medicine, and law). After deciding to experience human life first hand by becoming a human, she experiences all sorts of human suffering such as poverty, cruelty, and the often difficult routine of family life. She marries and has a child but in the end the daughter of gods realizes that human beings are to be pitied and is faced with heartbreaking choice: to return to the Heavens in an attempt to persuade her Father Indra to intervene and ease the suffering of humanity, or to stay on Earth and care for her earthly child. Finally, she returns to the Heaven and this moment corresponds to the awakening from a dream-like sequence of events.

  S.J. Pettersson's treatment of the play is to basically tell the story, or often, as is the case with the purely instrumental pieces, through emotions. The scenes are replaced with lyrical narratives, often in first person, and characters just mentioned in passing, comes alive with their own tales. There is no attempt to re-tell the story (which in itself is as difficult to follow and make sense out of as indeed our dreams are) but rather to express it in another medium in the terms of that medium's capability to reach where the written word is not able to penetrate. The result is almost closer to a song cycle (using 4 different vocal soloists that are all as similar as they are different in character, much like the shifting characters of the play) and with powerful instrumental pieces that in an almost hyper-romantic fashion carry the narrative along with their own emotional contents. The musical style is highly anachronistic but the perhaps biggest influence seems to be Weill's German operas from the 1920s blended with elements of Bach, Shubert, Chopin, Prokofiev's lyrical side, even Shostakovich at time. It is a very accessible work often hiding its harmonic and rhythmical complexity below the surface. The performances throughout are stellar with many of Los Angeles top classical musicians lending their hands and, seemingly, their hearts. The vocal performances are highly unusual and emotionally effective, often sung in pure tone avoiding vibrato and with an approach to communicate the often difficult scenes without resorting to obvious vocal tricks and audience pandering. As a result, the suffering seems to be located internally rather than externally which in many ways increases the personal aspect of what is a universal condition.

  The libretto is poetically very beautiful and in the end leaves the play behind with a final piece, Hope, that seems to transfer the words and thoughts from that of Strindberg to the composers own mouth.

  Romeo and Juliet is the second ballet from Swedish born composer S.J. Pettersson.

  It is written and performed for and by a chamber orchestra, albeit with some odd instrumentation thrown in for good measure.

  His approach is as usual very poly-stylistic with an oboe melody opening the Prologue as a nod to Tchaikovsky and a violin passage in the elegy like movement that conjures up Prokofiev. Then we hear Bartok-like aggressive pieces mixed with hyper romantic melodies reminiscent of Satie set in a post minimalist soundscape that in spite of the varied ingredients still manages to retain a firm consistency as a whole.

  His approach to telling the story progresses "backwards" with the death scene of the two Star Cross'd lovers opening the ballet and the rest of the story being told as a flashback focusing almost exclusively on the two main characters. All of the titles are culled from the play by Shakespeare and the people knowledgeable with the play will have no problems putting them in context of the story.

  The instrumental (and vocal) performances are nothing short of heartbreaking and the work is performed by some of the finest classical musicians around today including Yana Reznik on the piano and Maksim Velichkin on cello just to name two. It is truly a remarkable and magic journey that concludes triumphantly as an homage to love, rather than the tragedy of two lovers unintended suicide.

  Skarazula's second album is the continuity of the pagan rituals theme. After Ostara, their first release, comes Litha, the summer solstice festival in the Saxon culture. Litha includes songs from many parts of the ancient world; there's a troubadour's pastourelle, a sephardic love song, a Cantiga de Santa Maria, Turkish, Breton and Italian music. Take a trip around the world while enjoying both the original and traditional pieces of Litha. The music is played on instruments built by two of the Skarazula's members which give Litha its unique sound.

  Half of the music on Ostara comes from medieval Europe between the 13th and 16th century and the other half are originals inspired by this great era composed by two members of Skarazula. All of the stringed instruments that you hear on the album were made by the luthier of the group except the psaltery, which was made by the percussionist, and the ud which comes from Turkey.

  Ostara is Skarazula's first album and is an homage to the pagan spring equinox festivities of ancient times. The name comes from the Teutonic spring goddess "Eastre", that later became Easter in English.

  Sad Moon Eyes was recorded at Nick's very own Light Rail Studios, the premier recording facility in SF. Assisting the Slouchers were Mike Drake (Oranger) and Matt Harris (Posies, Ian Moore). Sad Moon Eyes is a classic slice of San Francisco rock with a dusting of noise and two heaping cups of pop.

  This is the first EP from Snowsleep, which symbolizes the experimental nature of the project. This is the first attempt to combine progressive rock, ambient and post-rock. Each of the tracks is a world in itself, with its own style and sound. I hope you enjoy it!

  This is a very experimental album. There are a large number of field recordings which were subsequently layered on each other almost without processing. Almost all of these recordings were made by setting of a stereo-microphone in the open window, to get noises from the street. This is evidenced by the album title itself. Stylistically, the album is a mix of post-rock, ambient and lo-fi drone.

  This album consists of seven tracks, which Snowsleep wrote between 2015 and 2018, but which he only got around to mixing in 2020. They all have a smooth vibe and blend a hint of dark atmosphere with classical electronic music, downtempo, techno, and ambient.

  Recorded and produced by Kirill Salinski at Snowsleep's Home studio in Hamburg, Germany April - August 2020

  All tracks were composed, arranged and performed by Kirill Salinski

  Water. Tides. The ocean slowly and imperceptibly coming again and again to the shore, bringing light waves over time. Welcome to the new Snowsleep ambient composition.

  Tides consists of three parts, the three tides. Each of these parts is somewhat similar to the other and at the same time has its own personality. In one part you can hear elements of Post-Rock, another the sound of Pink Floyd's 80s period and in the third audible elements of modern electronic music.

  Throughout the listener experiences a warm sound, and as Tides finally ends it leaves us to contemplate the distant expanses of the ocean and the hope that we will once again return.

  "Du deluge au desert" is a voyage into a surreal landscape of sounds, with climate change used as an underlying theme.

  On his second album, Soleil Vert mixes electronic sounds with the ambient sounds of nature, painting a surrealist picture of planet Earth.

  Opening with a bestiary of living creatures, like crude digital memories of a paradise lost for ever... The album then brings you underwater with "Sous la mer...", and up with the areal beats of "Ozone"... the voyages continues with the epic "Du deluge au desert" then the journey ends up in a desolate place, like in a post-apocaliptic future on "Planete desolation"... You can bet that the listener will have made quite a journey... from a deluge to a desert.

  As a concept album about genetically modified food, "Genetiquement modifie" is made of interrupted sequences, spliced fragments, inspired by the techniques used for the modification of living organisms, at the cellular level, using foreign DNA... all transposed into sound manipulation and textures.

  Heavy bass pedal notes under harsh percussion and flickering synths. Tangerinesque monosynth solos over a minimal tapestry... Harsh glitchy rhythms, raspy bass lines, minimalists sequences, this album is a departure from the techniques Soleil Vert used before... This is Soleil Vert, but Genetically Modified!

  Using our current era of fossil fuel usage as an inspiration, "L'ere du petrole" fits the bill of a concept album.

  The synthetic is not far from the organic as petrol becomes plastic, and this album share this quality. From jungle atmospheres to the glassy and futuristic vision of "Cite Utopie", Soleil Vert delivers a texture-rich album driven by a strong emotional feel.

  In line with Soleil Vert previous album release, "Du deluge au desert", L'ere du petrole" is bound to appeal to a surprising array of open-minded listeners, from fans of ambient/IDM genres to those coming from psychedelic and space-rock references.

description:
  Evil is the second hard rock album of Sophia Marie. Also released under her live band name of 'Wicked Wench', the goal with Evil was to get a more raw, hard hitting sound than her first album, 'Twisted', without losing any of the high quality production.

  Though Sophia has written songs in many different genres, she uses Rock to express the most intense emotions. 'Rescue Me' is a classic power ballad; 'Underneath it All' a rage against people who disappoint you in life; 'Circle of Lies' about the screaming souls a loveless couple; 'Fear is the Enemy' an inspirational motivator and 'Winter Kiss' a Snow White fantasy duet with Male singer Clayton Mitchell.

  Sophia also continues as she did on her first album to try and honestly express female sexuality, without falling into the contrived titillation of modern pop music, with 'Take Me', 'The Swinger' and 'No Escape'. She sends a message out to those who may pass judgement with the anthemic song 'Wicked Angel'. Originally this was to be the title of the album, but late inclusion of the song 'You Are Evil', induced a change, which, it is hoped, will produce a little thought about what 'Evil' actually is.

  Malevolence is the third hard rock album from Sophia Marie and the first which includes songs that are full on "Metal!"

  If you were to listen to all three albums in order of release, you will notice a theme progression in the lyrical content of the bulk of the tracks. The first album showcased the decline into promiscuity and sin as the result of a broken heart. The second album focusing on the pleasure sin gives us, but also showcasing songs about liars and evil, which gives us a taste of what kind of world sin brings us into but at this stage of the musical journey the two themes seem disconnected.

  With the Malevolence album we finally see what sin turns us into. Selfish and Malevolent. The opening track Point Of No Return slams into the ears with a full on 80's thrash pace, describing the time in a man's life where there appears to be no turning back. Black As The Night describes a vampire like person who is no longer human with four chugging guitar riffs that seamlessly interchange. The Devil You Know, a grinding song about being in a rut that you know is destructive but is too familiar to leave. Malevolence, the heaviest track of her entire career, using double kick drums to ram the aggression home. Finish "side 1" with a powerful ballad about loss, Can't Carry On. "Side 2" begins with Under the Siege an exploration into the effects of war on the soul set to military drums and a pumping bass line. The Warrior brings in guest singer Stephen Wells to put a medieval Conan fantasy to music. Cuts To The Core is the most pop rock song of the album, catchy but still set to a heavy metal guitars. No More Lies berates a lying partner in the most rocking way possible. The album concludes with Anything For You a song about domestic violence from the perspective of a woman with Stockholm syndrome. Hang around at the very end for an emotional refrain of the song that will send chills down your spine.

  Sense Overload is Sophia's first pop EP release. She is best known for her hard rock band Wicked Wench as singer, songwriter and bass guitarist. Sophia writes whatever comes to her whether it be rock, pop, dance and ballads. She writes from the heart of her personal experiences based on her feelings and things she sees in the world.

  The Sense Overload single is a cheeky and fun song with a sexy bass line of which she recorded. Sophia loves to express her cheeky side through her music as well as in her stage performances. Sense Overload is pure sexual indulgence.

  Transport Me is about how one feels on the dance floor by using creative space terminology. Fun and quirky, this catchy little tune will get your body moving. Another dance track called Fallen Paradise, is a song about taking back control over governmental oppression and "waking up" to the world around you.

  Breaking Down The Walls is the personal struggle one goes through knowing change is about to happen. Knowing change needs to happen and allowing yourself to move past your fear and breaking into a new chapter in life and leaving the past behind.

  Is This What Heaven's Like is a beautiful dreamy song reflecting on an escapism of fantasy. When you listen to this song, it makes you feel relaxed letting go of your stress and taking the journey with Sophia into the clouds in the sky. One can only feel happiness when listening to this song. Warning, goosebumps may appear!

description:
  The Twisted album is structured around the theme of love and loss, the songs carefully arranged to create a loose story or old style concept album. The power and intensity of the songs in the centre of the album suggest Sophia Marie has drawn on some personal experiences to create songs that should drive deep into the all but the coldest of hearts. The cheeky and sometimes downright sinful content of the rest of the songs suggest her previous out of control lifestyle has not been entirely forgotten!

description:
  With its uniquely ancient to modern sound, Sora's music weaves together contemporary rock with the mystical moods of Celtic folk, medieval madrigals, and other modes of early music. The result is a heady, colorfully evocative tapestry that conjures the imagery of long ago but feels just as current as anything from the present musical landscape all the while sounding like little else on today's airwaves. Across the album's moody and atmospheric tracks Sora's heartrending soprano glides like a graceful dove through swirling mists of violin, piano, harp, synthesizer, cello, guitar, percussion, and other instruments to deliver sweeping performances. The music moves from lightness of thought and sound to richly dense soundscapes. The music is not easy to categorize, but ultimately it is about the journeys we make within ourselves.

  It feels at times as if music comes not so much from within me but that is passes through me in the ways of half-remembered dreams. Yet, I feel we each are a filter to the heart of the world, we shape it, to some extent with our own experiences, perceptions and feelings. I like to think of each of these songs as filtered through my own heart, as water passes through a teabag, colored with the pieces of me. The music itself washes through me, as wind passes through the trees, but in doing so is imprinted by my spirit as it exits through my voice, my fingers, through the notes that I write. The songs are not about me, but I cannot deny that I find myself in them.

  It is my belief that we are influenced by the environments in which we live. The outer world interacts with the inner, affecting thought patters, creation and consciousness. Found within the pages here are objects from my environment; that which creates the spaces I inhabit musically, emotionally, spiritually and physically. Leaves, petals, rocks, crystal; these are the heartgifts I wish to share with you.

  Heartwood is the core, it is the truths we carry, it is the place of secret whisperings, it is our beginnings and endings. It is the axis upon which our lives spin. It is my most humble hope that perhaps as these songs pass through you, that you will find something of yourself within them as well.

  Heartwood is an examination of the places the heart inhabits.

  Ethereal folk influenced vocals soar over lush world music instrumentation.

  Sora delves deeply into stories, both mythic and modern, that transcend time and place, boldly claiming the complexity of contradictory truths within the emotional landscapes that shape our own personal stories.

  Light and dark, joy and sorrow, urban versus nature, birth/rebirth but also death, ancient and modern, Sora delicately balances it all to provide music that is at once ethereal and grounded. This evocative music fuses the poetry of the Celts, the global influence of World and the stunning melodiousness of Neo-Classical into music that defies the boundaries of traditional genre categorization. Listen and find your mythic self.

  With one eye on the history of recorded music and the other on its future, Sound of Seventy Three's self-titled debut is an experiment in technology, economy, and fidelity that results in a genre-jumping album which still seamlessly comes together as a whole.

  Bridging the gap between Post-Rock and Electronica, Sound of Seventy Three manage to find the commonality between the two genres placing long-form post-rock right next to trip-hop influenced remixes without either sounding out of place. The original tracks are often guitar-driven instrumental pieces in the best post-rock tradition making full use of the electric guitars' immense range to craft dynamic-cinematic music that demands to be listened to. The remixes on the other hand explore the sound of recoded media as a subtle form of musical expression with noise like tape hiss, vinyl dust, and digital artifacts being intentionally added to the music to add 'color' and 'shade' to the remix of each track.

  Inspired as much by the 'Lomo' toy-photography movement, as by 'gadget-music', Sound of Seventy Three also explore the musical expressiveness of what many would consider 'toy' instruments. Some of these instruments include the Stylophone, Stylophone Beatbox, Korg Kaossilator and Vox AmPlugs. Amazingly the resulting music is neither comedic, campy, or kitschy and instead has a gravity and intimacy that proves that you can make 'real' music with these new affordable musical tools. Just like your favorite mix-tape Sound of Seventy Three is a collection of music that defies easy categorization and yet is all the better for it.

  "The Way We Feel" is a return to the music that gave birth to unique retro/rock/lounge genre that is Sound of Seventy Three.

  Nearly half the album: A Farewell; The Great Rest; Ahh, Tow Bots; and Spilt Milk are songs that were gigged with the live-band back when Sound of Seventy Three were playing shows in the Atlanta area in the mid to late 00s as a two-guitar, bass and drums quartet. Some of the material on the album even dates all the way back to 2004. The other half of the album are mostly tunes that were written or started at that time but never finished or incorporated into the live sets. Only one song 'Jyuu' is a completely new composition which also has the distinction of being the longest track on the album.

  The result is an album that is sure to please old fans of the live-band as well as newer fans who have fallen in love with So73's guitars-meet-gadgets approach to the last album. Unlike the first Sound of Seventy Three album which was essentially a collection of singles, the songs on this album were chosen specifically to fit together well stylistically but also to take the listener on a sonic journey when listened to together.

  The album opens with 'Shields' (dedicated to Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine) which is rock minimalism at its finest. The whole song being a simple three note melody on one chord that slowly builds to a noise-filled shoegaze nirvana. The volume and the noise level drop with the restrained yet intense 'A Farewell' which features Doug's distinctive use of the Ebow - an electronic bow that allows you to sustain a note on the guitar indefinitely. However things quickly ramp up again with 'Variations' which has a one-note bass groove that gives it an incessant almost bolero-like quality.

  This is followed by the loud-then-soft-then-loud-again dynamics of 'The Great Rest' where the melody is carried by the bass-guitar; a distinguishing feature of much of Sound of Seventy Three's music. Next come two tracks that build gradually, each more intensely than the last. 'The First Waltz' starts with some gentle arpeggios and lap-steel volume-swells that slowly build until finally it climaxes with tremolo picked guitar, lap-steel, and Stylophone all playing the melody in unison. 'You Say Today, I Say Tomorrow' opens with a chiming guitar riff and beautiful melody to slowly build instrument by instrument, pedal by pedal, to an almost orchestral crescendo at the end. Things get calm and quiet again with 'Jyuu' both the longest track on the album and also the most ambient. This is followed by two tracks that again highlight Sound of Seventy Three's distinctive use of the bass-guitar. 'Ahh, Tow Bots' - originally titled 'Autobots' - is an old favorite from the band's live-set and features bass arpeggios played on an Agile Harm 1 Extended Scale Guitar - A Fender Bass VI style instrument that resembles cross between a bass and a baritone guitar. The track ends with that same bass playing full-on distorted chords toward the end. 'Spilt Milk' has the bass again handling the melody and sees a return of Doug's distinctive use of the Ebow to add interest and tension to the melody. Finally the album ends with the gentle and relaxed 'The Way We Feel' where guitar and six string bass double one another playing chord-melody as a delayed Kaossilator adds a gentle rhythmic bed underneath.

  A best selling genre album on Magnatune, Autophile feature's Spinecar's darkly precise yet deeply cathartic hard rock/metal, built on the the new and interesting structures that they've proven so adept at bringing in to their music. With its cascading, yet tightly controled fury, "Home" is the culmination of everything they've done so far, and "Soul Patch" is another great example of how experimental they can get with structure, without ever losing interest. Their work remains tight and cohesive no matter where they go with it. Most importantly, really good metal has to have both real darkness and real musicianship, and this album has both of these in spades. Eric Braymer and Larry Gagliardi sound genuinely wrathful in a way that surely gratifies the metal gods, while drummer Art Bernstein keeps it all in the pocket with a masterful sense of timing.

  A handful of Spinecar's rare recordings surface on Passive Aggressive, a collection of some of their more obscure, previously unreleased material. We love Eric Braymer's vaguely Celtic guitar line on "Into You," and are thrilled that Art Bernstein was so into it that he stepped away from his typically more restrained/minimalistic style to get really medieval with that one. The cathartic "Release" has that really interesting, sine-wave structure that so defines much of Spinecar's music--and both "True" and "Backstabber" are Spinecar doing what we think they do best--album rocking!

  Like the very best album rock of the 1970's, Up From the Mud by New York metal trio Spinecar explores a lot of what's making metal so interesting lately. Asymmetric grooves stay low to the ground while Eric Braymer's vocals alternate between soaring and searing. The musicianship here is exceptionally strong throughout and we're especially fans of drummer Art Bernstein's unexpected rhythms and minimailist approach to metal drumming. Recommended tracks include "Waste Away," the fantastic album rocker "Smoke" and "KC Ripoff." "Leech" is a bit of a miss, but everything else here is great. Check it out!

  A unique brand of upbeat, danceable music that quickly become anthems. Gold. Who could have predicted the magnitude of a phenomenon known as "retro 80s"?

  The songs were written in a six-month period in 2010 and roughly in the order they appear on the album. The album was recorded at Producer Jeff Carter's studio in Guelph Ontario. The music video for the first single "You Light Up" was filmed in Toronto Ontario. The cover for the CD features a picture of Sandy Horne and Gordon Deppe and numerous symbols and signs including morse code, circuit diagrams, and even hieroglyphics. Fans who purchased the album were challenged to find secret codes that would unlock two additional bonus downloads on the band's official website.

  Static in Transmission is the 8th studio album by the Canadian New Wave band Spoons. Released in early 2011 on CD and iTunes it is their first album of new material in 23 years since 1988's Vertigo Tango.

  Stanislav is so much more than you would expect from a self proclaimed house/techno music producer, this album reaches further into the chillout camps than perhaps Stane Spegel (the man behind Stanislav, Monom and HouseMouse) himself would even like to admit. Light, funky, ambient and drum'n'bass-chopped beats, and laid back jazzy melodies with a touch of retro electronica are the order of the day here.

  Chilin offers a journey through ambient electronic music territory. This is an album you can actually sit down and listen to without skipping that 'too happy' or 'too sad' track. Remix of the famous "Gymnopedia No 1" by first ambient music composer Eric Satie is included.

  Theatralica is not classical, jazz, rock, ethno or electronic music. And yet it's all of this - a mixture of all these genres. Exclusively instruments from the set of a symphony orchestra were used in composing and production of the songs. Sounds of the "classical" instruments appear in the primordial sound shape especially in the harmonies and melodies. In modified form - with the use of filters and effects - "classical" instruments appear as a rhythmic accompaniment. Musical themes are flowing through a kaleidoscope of moods. As a whole they can be understood as a "soundtrack" from a not yet recorded movie or theatrical performance.

  Theatralica is classical music, caught in a pop form, under the baton of the virtual conductor, with the approach of the composer, who has in the past mainly dealt with the production of electronic music.

  WIth its lovely circular structures and space-y synths, The Art of Analog Diversion is a pared down ambient album that works just as well in the background as it does in the fore. Faithful analog and digital synths are featured alongside vintage drum machines, and together these sounds form patterns that morph and take on different sonic shapes as each track progresses. On this album, Bobby DeVito has found the exact line between ambient/"wallpaper" music and more melodic/narrative forms, and he explores that space very thoughtfully, with great results.

  The aptly titled Ambient Excursions is Stargarden's best-selling album to date, and provides the listener with a big, cosmic yet infinitely subtle listening experience: entire sonic geographies unfold slowly in front of Bobby DeVito's wide lens, revealing far-away worlds of both pure sound and pure pattern laid overtop the sound, like shadown and light playing on a sonic topography. The trace doppler patterns in "Millenia" create perhaps one of the most subtly captivatingly ambient tracks of all time while the oh-so laid back groove of "Astral Dub" lends temporary structure to the cosmic clouds. Put it on and let it slowly unfurl.

  "Stargarden "FIVE" is quite possibly the ONLY ambient recording ever made during a hurricane. Bobby D was living in Key West playing music, and happened to be there during Hurricane Ernesto. The Keys were evacuated, but Bobby decided to stay and ride the storm out. He rented a bunch of gear, got some supplies and refreshments, and hunkered down to wait for the arriving storm. During the storm, Stargarden "FIVE" was composed and recorded, using 24bit/96K high resoution audio.

  While the album is quite a bit shorter than most of the other Stargarden releases, "FIVE" has a unique sound and feel. Perhaps the act of creating ambient music in the midst of a hurricane helped to make this album a bit different than the other Stargarden albums. This album is the quiet before the storm, as well as the sounds created in the eye of the hurricane.

  Give "FIVE" a listen...this may well be the most unique and beautiful album by Stargarden yet!"

  Appealingly low-key, Music for Modern Listening is Stargarden's most cosmpolitan and groove-oriented work to date. "Mural" gets things off to a nicely urbane start with it's crushed beats and subtle, vespertine tones, and Bobby DeVito follows this up with "Perdido"--a great juxtaposition of blurry bells with delicately eccentric rhythms. We also really like the suave bass and artfully textured synths of "Termoli" as well as the sultry sounding "Rutile." This album may lean slightly away from the space music sound for which Stargarden is known, but it can be good to come back down to earth every now and then, and Music for Modern Listening proves just how great Stargarden sounds back on good ol' terra firma.

  When Stargarden tells you to "step off," it's clear that they mean "off" of the normal platform of daily life, and directly into a big night sky of softly pulsating ambient sounds. Bobby Devito has a real talent for juxtaposing interesting sonic patterns, which then somehow become these ever-expanding and shrinking sound forms and give his music a natural, even organic quality. It's ambient/space music, sure, but it's very structured, so it lends itself well to studying and working. Tracks we particularly like include "From Here to There," "Anger Management," and "The Dream Is Alive."

  We simply never tire of the hauntingly elegant Star ot the Sea by Stellamara. Sonja Drakulich's rich, siren-like vocals are paired with stately, reverential beats, and an exceptionally rare mood is established as a result-one both seductive and solemn. This album draws on the most arcane and ancient melodies from 13th and 15th century Galacia, Croatia, and Persia, and makes them relevant and engaging. "Zephyrus" is an incredible track, as is "Immrama"-an almost incomprehensibly subtle medieval Irish song concerning a hero's sea journey to the Otherworld. "Stellamara cut directly to the devotional essence of music." -SF Weekly . Highly recommended.

Recorded at St. Paul's United Church with the Niagra Children's Chorus and the Con Brio Choir, the freshly angelic choral pieces on this album album sparkle like sugar on a plum. Stephane Potvin is known for his energizing effect on the choral groups with which he works, and you can definitely hear his influence in the music. Pure delight.

  With just 4 songs, this EP contains some of Sterling's earliest work and his first foray into more rhythmic space oriented music. If you enjoy his other material, you are sure to want to check out some of these songs which set the stage for future full releases such as "Paradox" and "Spaceflight".

  Enjoy a glimpse into some more of Sterling's impressive catalog. He is really pleased to be able to have the chance to share it with so many great listeners here on Magnatune and hopes you enjoy this and his other releases. "Are you out there?" marks Sterling's eighth Magnatune release. (Album cover credit: NASA/JHU APL/CIW.)

  In "Near You Always", Sterling contributes yet another stunning collection of heartfelt electronica to the Magnatune catalog. From the classical sounding "Orchestral" to the pure ambiance of "Love", Sterling continues to explore the realm of intimate electronic music in his own special way. These songs have a purity characteristic of Sterling's earlier works, where emotion and beauty is the primary expression... songs that are simply straight from the heart.

  Integrating trance, ambient, and breakbeat; Sterling has created a progressive sound that is uniquely his own. His style is represented by intensely emotive work dealing with themes such as loneliness, faith, and transcendence. In Sterling's mind, it goes beyond music. He is struggling to create the soundtrack to a new reality, teeming with so much hope and possibility.

  On this second release, Sterling attempts a more thematic work dealing with the idea of the destruction and rebirth of the Earth. The various songs were produced and arranged within this conceptual framework. In the end, this album came to be a unique experience including more energetic songs along with the trademark ambient works that Sterling has come to be known for.

  It makes for a unique and engaging listening experience that leaves it up to the listener as to what they want to feel and how they want to interpret things. Sterling loves to maintain a sense of mystique within his works and this album does just that.

  This is the first CD by hurdy gurdy player Steve Tyler fully comprising his own compositions. (He has previously played and recorded with medieval bands Daughters of Elvin, Misericordia and Woodwose; also, more in the balfolk style, with The Wendigo, Angles and with Jon Swayne and Becky Price.)

  There are a few other musicians playing on the CD, most notably on:-

  Tethys (track 7): Katy Marchant sings in her ethereal textless way over a building texture created by hurdy gurdies (including the clacking of keys) and reed organ, inspired by the crashing of waves on the beach. The improvised line is taken over by bass viol played by Mike Edwards. Mike (an enthusiastic player in many local bands and an original member of Electric Light Orchestra) was killed in an unlikely accident just before a gig with us (Daughters of Elvin) in 2010. Katy subsequently dreamt of him as a whale, singing and swimming freely amongst the waves. He would have been perfect for this piece and I was lucky to find a single recording from 2007 of his solo improvisation. It so happened that this fitted almost perfectly, as if he had this future track in mind.

  Lullaby (track 9): The original version (cittern, voice and violin) created spontaneously beside a dying fire after a nocturnal music session with Jane Harbour during one of her visits to Brancepeth Castle. Jane plays with the band Spiro and was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 to compose Kynde, premiered by the BBC Concert Orchestra and BBC singers in March 2017.

  Strojovna 7's best selling Magnatune album, Dirnix brings in a nice kind of subtlety and restraint to the often overly-hyper genre of techno. It's still driving, mind you, but in a thoughtful, light-touch kind of way, and we also appreciate how simple and straight forward this album is. "Dezert" is a particular standout. Great workout music.

  From the upbeat near-disco of the opener "Zabudni na to," to the atmospherically cosmopolitan "Loopatchka," III by Strojovna 7 really shows how they've grown from a more experimental techno act from one that knows how to structure tracks exceptionally well.

  The follow-up to Strojovna 7's Dirnix, Mirnix is also a simple and straight forward album of their light-touch techno, but this one has a slightly more textured and cosmopolitan feel to it, which we like.

  Strojovna 7's first Magnatune release Number 1 is a an experimental yet groovy techno album, with some great sonic layering and treats in it. "Ambi Crack" is our favorite of these with its pebbly textures, but there are other standouts too including "Bycygel" and the lushly ambient closer "Ambicious." [sic] A straight forward techno album with a light touch.

  This album's highly sapient tech-house features Strojovna 07's perfectly proportioned beats and highly textured auditory treats. Unapologetically repetitive and driving, this is the sort of techno that switches off your monkey mind and switches on the dancing feet. Tracks like "Logistic" and "Lienkey" show off Strojovna 07's ability to bring in softer, bionic-feeling sounds that create a nicely dimensional, futuristic tone.

  A one man analogue orchestra producing a soundtrack that needs no film.

  What's that? It's the noise of 16 tireless months in the studio. It's like listening to three decades in the music industry.

  It's also the sound of homemade, hand-welded percussion instruments, without an audible drum. Impressive then, that it's one man and his Mac in Northamptonshire, with two great ears.

  His debut long-player, 16:9, is a soundtrack to the greatest of epics - seamless seconds of breathtaking aural vision. Fleeting sonic supernovas that inspire emotion and command attention, while blending beautifully into the natural world of the listener. Think the exploratory moments of Vangelis' Bladerunner score, here rooted in the instrumentalism so vital to the early 21st Century, and its broad definition of 'popular music'.

  Bird songs can be heard, punctuating an almost visible landscape, such is the tangible depth to these compositions. Pianos fall gently into background space, as strings, synths and a host of other, often unexpected musical tools combine to create a tragic, heroic and captivating movie in the mind. A road trip on a mass scale, the sombre closing credits of Cherry Blossom Falls offer up Vienna in violin arrangements, while Kaiyu-Shiki transports you to the eponymous Japanese garden, via a thousand crystalised chimes.

  Darker moments abound in Memories Lost, as decomposing tape creates a feeling of faded photography and silent, battle-scorched earth. Meanwhile, The Fire Within recounts a town springing into life on a dark winter's morning, as ambient noise becomes hook and then melody. It might seem lazy to reel off disconnected, imagined instances. But then few films have been this vivid in the landscapes and atmospheres they create.

  Stuart Sweeney has spent countless hours exploring the English countryside surrounding his home and the sounds to be found, and more importantly recorded, therein. But, far from abstract, all 12 tracks offer something reminiscent of Yann Tiersen's cinematic power, blended with the electronic-experimentation of The Heritage Orchestra. And there's something wholly new too. Far from field music, this is a sublime one-man symphony.

  And that's just what makes this release so inspired. Part contemporary classical, part sound art, all compelling. There's no tunes here, just stories being told, moments getting captured and emotions laid bare. All the while remaining under the control of a technically disciplined musical aficionado. Hear the tracklist individually, or hear it all as one. Either way, from beginning to end, while under Sweeney's spell, you won't be doing much else.

  Wow. Suchita Parte has an incredibly beautiful voice, and Designer Bliss really brings out the natural softness and femininity of it. The opening track, "Tvamekam Sharannyam" is so deeply pretty, as is "Pandurangashtakam" and "Narayanam,"" but really the entire album is a very successful, subtle pop update of a classical Indian style. Parte's dulcet and delicate voice is at the exact center of things (where it should be), but she never pushes it or tries to dominate the overall sound. Completely sublime, highly recommended.

  Love songs, whimsical lyrics, suave instrumentals and everything falls into perspective. Meditative and yet chill music where different colours come to dwell, Magenta, Burgundy, Tangerine and so on. That is the special tone of this album.

  Charming, wistful as the title and the title song. "If there were no space, I could reach the stars, I would weave them into, the streets and the cars" I would be making burgundy rhymes, exotic and impossible, yet so within the reach of a child's imagination. Sit back and relax and tap right into that innocent imagination. Not for mindless chilling.

  Moonstone Mandala, Basic Necessity and Night Skies make you contemplate as you sink into a new reality. Seductive, they talk about love from beyond time. Burgundy Rhymes and Amethyst Drive are for the imaginative child within.

  Moonstone Mandala had me playing a swarmandal- an Indian harp. Fly away could be talking about the lives of elves or a romantic get away, depends on you, entirely!

  The instrumentals each have varied aspects of downtempo, jazzy and chill feel added to them.
  These tunes get stuck in your head and will have you repeating the playlist.
  A little splash of thought in a hurried day? Check out Burgundy Rhymes.

  An album dedicated purely to the acoustically rich and rewarding sound of the veena, a stringed instrument of ancient South Indian history and lore.

  Featuring a range of ragas, starting from morning prayerful melodies of Bowli, the straight forward Gowla, on to the unique and awe inspiring dignity of the raga Todi, winding on to the flavor of an Indian afternoon in the monsoon with a rhythmic free flowing exposition of the raga Kirvani, and then over to the beauty and charm of the alluring Karaharapriya, on to the laidback Purvikalyani and a lullaby to end it all.

  Some of these are interpretations of classical gems, others are extempore free flowing explorations into the form and characteristics of the raga. A traditional musical offering of pure South Indian Carnatic classical music, from the artist and the instrument, to God.

  Imagine Indian temples, religious festivals, spiritual quests, contemplation, introspection and the soul's awakening.

  Stylishly contemplative with a twist of red hot active lava on top! That's the sound of this album. I wanted to reflect on the two constant movements within oneself, one inwards and the other outwards. I have attempted to capture the spirit of those subtle movements in this album.

  With Coral Symphony, Sunbrella, Blue Petal Lake and Turquoise Beat, it's the introspective, looking within movement, then on towards an outward swing with Star Filter, French Lounge, Purplesse Oblige, Lava Lounge, Riviera Magenta and ending with a very socially interactive Cocktail Disco. Musical portrait of the self!

  How would it feel to take a drive along the Mediterranean, blues skies, sunshine, the car top down, hair blowing in the breeze and your love beside you? This album is the music for those precious moments of living deep and well. Vibes, guitars, sax, piano, strings, whimsical female scatting, jazz undertones throughout and a sweet nostalgia for the best of times in our lives.

  Sophisticated, urban and chic, you can just flow into this jazzy lounge album. While some tracks are slower and are like the reflections of sunlight on water by the pool, (Dappled Sealight and Liquid Reflections), with a heartwarming, contemplative, afternoon mood to them, Rive Gauche, Riviera Drive, Smok-a-Mocha have a very chic French cafe feel to them. Ocean Lilt, Pretty Sunshine and Beach Chic reverberate with Bossa Nova warmth. Love today but in the time of Eastman colour!

  Happy Mediterranean Cruising!

  Mobius Strip in an album where the veena, a traditional South Indian instrument believed to be over 2000 years old, expresses itself in a variety of contemporary genres such as Dance, Funk, House and Pop. On each of the 13 tracks, the arrangement strives for a different colour and texture. While the veena remains true to the grace-oriented classical style, it reaches out and involves other genres to create new tapestries of sound.

  Sophisticated electronica with sultry vocals; female, male and a choir, eclectic in its choice of languages, from English to French via Latin connected with ancient Indian poems (known as cheez in Hindustani classical music) and the hoary Dravidian tongue of Tamil, electronically filtered samples; this album explores musical textures from every angle and language!

  The ambiance also shifts in a pleasant kaleidoscopic array, from a happy monsoon welcoming song, to seductive love songs sung to a lover, some also to God, to metaphysical and linguistic contemplation on silence and words, to the grand Latin phrase "Veritas Vos Liberabit"!

  Step into a luxurious resort tucked away under the green fronds in a magical forest, or far out on in deep space, high above the clouds and the mist of a moonlit night, or simply deep inside the recesses of your heart and find yourself wafting peacefully into your zen lounge where you are always welcome! So, trip along!

  This album of Tamil pop songs combines a touch of classical music - where the songs are based on ragas - and adds all the chords and arrangements typical of a pop song, with dashes of Indian classical instruments as highlights (the sarod in Andadi, the veena in the Jalsa Koothu song). Inspired by Tamil film songs which is a major industry (almost as big as Bollywood which deals with Hindi language films with staunch supporters and fans and larger than life stars), this is just a small dip into the long history of Indian cinema music. The making of this album helped me realize that I could pen lyrics in Tamil too. I think you might have as much enjoyment as I did while making this album.

  Male vocals: Andadi and Jalsa Koothu feature the vocals of Harish Sivaramakrishnan, a big star touring with his band.
  Thaniye Jeevan features Deepak Lazarus who has been tutoring thousands of youngsters in music.
  Marandiduma features Chris Avinash, another busy musician and composer himself.
  (He also played the guitar on this track)
  Female Vocals: Rithisha Padmanabh, with many playback singing credits to her name in the film industry, features on Sondam Illai and Kaatril Varum Paatae.
  I sing on Vaanam Vendum and the duet in Jalsa Koothu.
  Background vocals - Gokul Abhishek (a most ardent music fan and composer and devoted audio engineer) and me.
  Audio production - Gokul Abhishek and me.
  A small note about the lyrics - Most of the songs have romantic lyrics. Thaniye Jeevan is about losing your love. Sondam Illai could be a bhakti or devotional song meant for the Blue God Krishna. Kaatril Varum Paatae, my favourite song on the album, is rather an existentialist, spiritual acknowledgement of the oneness of things as we span lifetimes.
  Mike Harrison pitched in with the fantastic, night core sort of remix of Sondam Illai which was, needless to say, an instant hit.

  "The hidden secret in this music is balm to the soul" writes one of many UK therapists who use the album as an aid to relaxation and meditation. Some of the music on the album was used in a pilot study at Bristol Cancer Help Centre, UK, and results showed listeners experiencing an increased sense of well-being and relaxation and a significant drop in tension. A physiological test also showed significantly increased levels of salivary IgA (which is an indicator of immune status) and measured decreased levels of cortisol (a stress indicator), marking relaxation and improved mood.

  Comments from patients included the following:
  "The power of the music uplifted the spirit"
  "I felt totally at peace"
  "Music to feed the soul and fortify the body"
  "The power of the music to disarm and enter people, to lift up their spirits and make them whole is amazing."

  After releasing Sun Palace's latest album in December 2005, we were lucky enough to get our hands on this band's year 2000 debut CD?Into Heaven?which received four out of five stars from AllMusic.com and shows the more wistful, contemplative side of vocalist Andriette Redmann's talents. Written and recorded after a series of personal tragedies in her life, Into Heaven's palpable sense of melancholy serves as the ideal counterpoint to Redmann's lighter-than-air voice, and we suspect that fans of Sarah McLachlan and The Sundays will love this album.

Give Me A Perfect World does more than live up to the promise of the first Sun Palace album, Into Heaven?it is, in fact, an even stronger and more impressive demonstration of Redmann's talents. Highlights include the idyllic title track, the courtly and fateful "Round and Round," as well as the deeply dreamy "Familiar Voices."

  This album is a sound explosion! Inspired by classical harmonies and beats that groove to hell, Superdirt2 (Ras Tilo (electro, programming) and Kapt'n Dirt (cello) recorded their first full-length album.

  The album is a synergism of what they believe music ought to be: nine tracks consumed by a deep emotional feeling, completed by an ecstatic and overwhelming groove character. All of this is conveyed through their compulsive need to share their passion of music to everyone who is ready to celebrate the party, which is called life.

  The resources of the early 19th Century piano provide a refreshing viewpoint on these well-known works. Broadwood's design allowed the dampers to be divided for the upper and lower part of the keyboard, allowing them to be used independently, a feature which Beethoven actually notated in his music. The use of this "split sostenuto" pedal provides a veil of resonance without obscuring the piano's clarity.

  Haydn's Sonata No. 60 exhibits a wide range of sonority, from just a few notes to full orchestral texture. It is easy to picture almost any section being played in the strings or on the horn, bassoon or oboe. One passage especially brings a smile as Haydn clearly indicates that the pedal should simply be held down as the tinkling sound of a wind-up music box resonates in the whole instrument. As he often did, Haydn wrote the closing rondo in the style of a village dance, with surprising shifts of register and contrasts between loud and soft. It is a good-humoured and original work, as Haydn makes complex structures from only a few notes.

  When Beethoven's first biographer, Schindler, asked him what he intended to convey in the Sonata Op. 31, No. 2, Beethoven replied that Schindler should read Shakespeare's play, "The Tempest". Rather than rendering a literal interpretation, Beethoven stages opposing forces - a magical atmosphere, driving rhythms, and powerful chordal architecture. The sonata echoes more than a few Baroque characteristics, with its arpeggiated chords, dramatic tempo changes, cross-rhythms and recitatives. It is worth remembering that according to Czerny, Beethoven used to start his days by playing from Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier".

  Though born in Ireland, John Field spent much of his life outside of his country. While in England he developed a close association with the piano virtuoso and entrepreneur Clementi, and this in turn led him to St. Petersburg where he lived for many years. Near the end of his life, he returned to Britain, and after his departure he wrote the Nocturne in D, perhaps knowing that he would not see his homeland again. The ethereal Nocturne in B flat is exemplary of Field's poetic approach to the piano.

  Two arrangements of anonymous Scottish folk songs conclude this recording. The antique mandolin, restored and played by Clive Titmuss, provides a striking complement to the sound of the antique Broadwood pianoforte.

  More period instrument recordings played by Susan Adams and Clive Titmuss on the lute, theorbo, mandora, vihuela, harpsichord and Viennese piano are available on CD Baby and other providers. More information, photos and edited music scores are offered on www.earlymusicstudio.com.

  Soprano Susan Rode Morris and harpsichordist Phebe Craig offer a look at one way Burns heard his songs played. Among the Lasses is the second in the trio collection of the beloved songs of Scotland's national poet Robert Burns.

  They have gone back to the original tunes and have created their own bass lines and arrangements based on their knowledge of 18th century music. The poetry and tunes are delightful and refreshing. Burns was not a composer, but a great collector of his national music. He took existing songs that were only partly remembered and rewrote the verses to "mend them" as he wrote. He set his poetry to his favorite fiddle or bagpipe tunes.

  Reviews include American Record Guide's comments: "Morris sings with wonderful abandon, never losing control of tone or intonation. She has a lovely lilting voice, sometimes changing her tome quality to a surprising degree as she finds the right timbre for a special moment." "Morris and Craig approach the world of 18th century music making in a most profound way."

  When singer Susan Rode Morris and harpsichordist Phebe Craig met and performed with renowned Scottish fiddle Alasdair Fraser, they discovered the songs of Robert Burns, Scotland's National Poet.

  Few people know that Burns collected his native tunes and songs and created poetry to many of the wonderful fiddle tunes he loved.

  Featured on National Public Radio on Robert Burns birthday, this album includes the original version of Auld Lang Syne, which has been played on public radio on New Year's Eve. "This wonderful performance engendered more response that just about any recording we can remember, in this or any other year" said Martin Goldsmith of Performance Today of NPR. "Hauntingly beautiful renditions, skilled, loving, exquisite."

  Henry Purcell was one of England's greatest song writers of the 17th century. This recording is a veritable potpourri for the listener with two dozen songs, some rarely recorded, offering a wide range of expression.

  Reviews have praised this recording for its beauty:

  "Seldom have these songs of Purcell been given such thoughtful renditions by both singer and harpsichordist...a gorgeous voice, extraordinary continuo playing." American Record Guide.

  "If you love beautiful soprano voices, communicative singing or great Purcell songs, I recommend this disc." Fanfare Magazine.

  "Ohhh Henry! joyfully transcends... Of the three new soprano collections Morris has the richest imagination in both the selection and interpretation of the music." Washington Post

  We think Enchanted Wind is global flutist Suzanne Teng's best yet: seven long tracks that showcase her sinuous, slowly unfolding melodies on the alto flute, bass flute, and the rare contrabass flute. The mood here is profoundly quiet and serene; there are no beats at all and the accompaniment on harp, dulcimer, harmonium, and zither is delicate and minimal. The approach shows the full scope of Teng's talent too; stripped of adornment, you really hear how masterful her tone and breath control are, and the music itself is timeless. Listen after a stressful day and marvel, as we did, at how completely it dissolves tension.

  Intimate and ethereal flute journeys with gentle stringed instruments and hand pan drums that dance together to create serene music to calm your body, mind and soul.

  Whisper, nine tracks of soothing expressive instrumentals, was written during the pandemic, when times were (and still can be) very lonely and frightening. From the artists: "We wanted to create soothing, gentle, and quiet music that helped comfort those who listened to it. We discovered that within the intimate and serene music that was coming out was a deep emotional expression that was healing for us and we hope will be healing for our listeners as well."

  Whisper, the title track, feels so quiet and gentle to us, it feels like a whisper. It inspired us to name the album Whisper - Music that is soft, breathy and gentle, with a message to be heard.

  We wrote and recorded one of our favorite tracks, Sweet Jack, a few days after our beloved 13 year old sweet hound dog crossed the rainbow bridge. Our hearts were open and tender when we sat down to record our musical feelings in dedication to our sweet boy. The song came together in one sitting and so accurately reflects not only our missing him but expresses the joy he brought to us with his love, his playful personality and gentle soul. He would always come into the studio when we were recording, settling down with a little groan and the occasional thumping tail. We still feel him with us and dedicate this song to him, Sweet Jack.

  Birgitte on the Steps is an expression of love. We watched the Danish series Borgen and were moved by a scene with Birgitte sitting on the steps in her home feeling the love for her family. Spending so much time with just the three of us (the third being our son, Miles) during this past year, we feel our bond stronger than ever.

  Watching Us From Other Worlds is a line from a poem that our son wrote when he was eight.

  Ode to Dead Animals by Miles Teng-Levy

  Still and cold. Furry and soft. Large or small, cute or ugly. No matter which you will be Remembered! Waiting for the day to pass! Bringing tears to eyes̷0; Watching us from Other Worlds!

  We always loved that line and when we added Dann's amazing other-worldly ambient guitar work, this seemed like the perfect time to finally use it as a song title.

  Winter Prayer was the first song that we recorded for this new album. It was recorded during the challenging winter at the peak of Covid-19. It is a prayer for those who suffered or may still be suffering from the hardships they've experienced with the hopes that their hard times will improve.

  She Dances with the Sea features a magnificent Celtic harpist, Bobbie Jo Curley, who lives with her husband on a boat as they travel the seas. They travel with her instruments and his recording studio and recorded her wonderful harp track out on the Pacific Ocean near the Hawaiian islands.

  Svara is an acoustic poly-musical ensemble: we each bring musical ideas and experience from all over the world: India, Bali, Brazil, Europe (Eastern and Western), America. Rock, jazz, classical, contemporary creative music.

  Our goal is an innovative foray into unexplored musical spaces. We are 4 musicians who have experienced deep training in a variety of traditional music forms (including western traditions) from renowned and insightful teachers. We have tried to channel that training, that exposure into a unique and organic musical expression. All of our music incorporates improvisation - some pieces are almost completely improvised; others have an open section for spontaneous exploration.

  Self-described as "horror-rock," Portland, Oregon-based, hard-hitting, heavy rock act Sweet Teen Killing Machine deliver an exhilarating, self-titled full-length. Comprised of ten tracks, the album delivers melodic, yet hard rock, each song the soundtrack to a fictitious horror movie.

  Sweet Teen Killing Machine make guitar-rock that is as frightening as it is heart pounding. From the supernatural horror of album opener, "Curse of the Bloodwolf" and the album's first single, "City of the Shrieking Dead." To the more human terror of "Virgin White" and "New Meat," Sweet Teen Killing Machine can only be described as the sound of an insane rock beast that always seem to be chasing you.

  Ideally, Sweet Teen Killing Machine wants to create soundtracks to movies; so, while writing soundtracks to fictitious movies, they take a scenario, a scene from a movie they've made up in their heads, and create the ideal soundtrack for it.

  Originally a basement project between friends, jamming and having a good time, Sweet Teen Killing Machine's debut grew out of that. Never meant to release a record, the ten tracks that compile the album came out sounding so powerful; the members of the band couldn't help but release it.

  Those that hear their debut full-length will take notice and go, "more please." Again, like the victims and villains in the horror movies they write soundtracks for.

description:
  Johann Sebastian Bach's Flute Sonatas and Partita were chosen for this album as they were particularly well suited to capturing the sound and atmosphere of the hall in its pre-renovation state. Sonate h-moll fur Flote und obligates Cembalo BWV 1030 is played here with flute and cembalo without basso continuo. Partita a-moll fur Flote allein BWV 1013, known in the only surviving 18th-century manuscript as 'Solo pour une flote traversiere par J. S. Bach' is for unaccompanied flute. Sonate e-moll fur Flote und Basso Continuo BWV 1034 and Sonate E-dur fur Flote und Basso Continuo BWV 1035 are played with cembalo and basso continuo, and in this album, the basso continuo part is realized with a viola da gamba.

  The recording is carefully designed to record not only the sound of the instruments but the ambient sound of the old hall using a highly sensitive one-point stereo microphone system, a specially-tuned tube amp, and a high-precision clock system. The high standard mode (96 kHz, 24 bit) and the folding of full information into CD format enable the listener to appreciate the hi-fidelity sound and precise nuances in performance.

  Takashi Matsuishi plays J. S. Bach Flute Sonatas and Partita, recorded at the Hakodate City Community Centre 2011. This album provides a record of Hakodate City Community Centre Hall's unique acoustic qualities. The hall was built in 1933 in the old part of the city and used not only for various lectures and meetings but also as a concert hall. In the later part of the twentieth century, it fell into disrepair, neglect and was sadly used less and less frequently until it was eventually forgotten. Flautist Takashi Matsuishi rediscovered the hall, noting its qualities as worthy of renovation and, since 2007, he has revived its usage by producing a matinee concert series and promoting its unique properties. The hall's renewed popularity with audiences and the media interest in its revival led to a decision by Hakodate City Council to pursue its renovation, bringing its facilities up to modern standards.

  The music for this album was chosen from the world-famous educational music book for flute beginners: Selected Duets for Flute: Volume II, compiled and edited by H. Voxman in Rubank Educational library. The music, performed by Spark's Yutaka Okawachi and Takashi Matsuishi, was recorded by recording engineer Yasuyuki Nitta in Tazawa-ko Town Hall in Akita Prefecture, Japan on 4-6 August, 2004.

  The Living Earth is a mystical flight, fusion, experiment, the combination of Russian, Slavic folklore, presented in an extraordinary way, full of improvisation and the vocals of Tatyana Kalmykova, as well as a variety of folk instruments from Russia and other countries of the world. The main characteristic of the group is total timelessness, magic and natural sound. The band teeter on the amazing facets of professionalism and shamanic trance, ritual music and the new Symphony in the World style.

  The musicians gathered in 2010, creating a group of "Live Earth". Recording came after 3 years of cohesion. In the album there are only natural overtone instruments such as whistle-old Russian violin with wire or hair strings, zhaleika-Russian wind instruments made of wood and bark, flute, beat - plate bronze bells, santur - Iranian string instruments, as well as a Russian dulcimer built with natural harmony, harp, bass with Moroccan core strings, didgeridoo, percussion from around the World - Bender, Rick, darbuka and bass drums.

  Tears of Sirens bring the album Hum, using piano, guitar, bass, cajon, theremin, theremini, kaossilator and voices.

  The theremin has an almost mysterious and magical fascination, because it's played without any contact. With hand movements in the ether, farther and closer to the antennas, the theremin player controls its tuning and volume.

  Tears of Sirens create their own soundbanks using everything from the theremin and the theremini. Their attitude in livesets is to play all that is playable captured by looper pedal, for their grooves; acoustic music but with electronic matrix.

  The intersection of Fenton Street and Ellsworth Drive is located in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, my hometown (right outside of Washington, D.C.). Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I remember the downtown area as being real sleepy, with a few shops here and there, a bus station, and quite a few boarded-up store fronts.

  This is not the case today! Downtown Silver Spring experienced crazy growth and development in the early 2000s. In addition to countless new high-rise apartments, a skate park, and a bunch of great restaurants, downtown now hosts major music venues like The Filmore and cultural spots like the American Film Institute Theater.

  "Fenton & Ellsworth" is a batch of beats that I started putting together in my head while moonlighting as a food delivery driver in the Silver Spring area. There are a bunch of food spots around that intersection, so I'm always down there. The album cover is actually a photo I took right before running across that intersection to pick up an order!

  A Future Long Ago is a collection tracks from my archives that are seemingly disparate in sound individually but yet cohesive when played as a whole.

  The songs on this project accurately reflect my eclectic tastes in music. You'll hear everything from hip-hop ("Early AM") to chillwave ("Dandylion") to downtempo ("Lightning") to 80s pop-rock ("87"). The result is a musical journey through the various electronic genres that continue to greatly shape my sound.

  Teslim (Tes-LEEM) is a Turkish word that means both "commit" and "surrender," It is also a musical term for a "recurring musical theme" in Turkish music. Like a character who appears in a sequel or a repeating line in a poem, the teslim invokes a feeling of returning home. For Flexer and Hegedus, creating this music has given them a deep sense of coming home both personally and musically.

  These two composers have been profoundly moved and inspired by the power of traditional Greek, Turkish, Arabic, Jewish and Balkan musics. Flexer and Hegedus listen to, study and perform repertoire from these traditions with reverence and respect. In their work as composers, they are searching for their own voice - one that takes inspiration from tradition and follows where it leads.

  They feel fortunate to have found in one another a kindred spirit who shares a common artistic vision. For them, the recurring theme, the teslim, is that the trust they have in one another musically has allowed them to both commit and surrender to their own individual voices, hopefully creating something larger than either one of them. It is their wish that this voice reaches into you and that you are inspired to continue the cycle of beauty and hope.

  Musicians featured on Teslim:
  Kaila Flexer - violin, viola
  Gari Hegedus - lauoto, baglama, bulgari, divan, cura, lavta, oud, tarhu, frame drum, penny whistle
  Shira Kammen and Julian Smedley - fiddles
  Olov Johansson - nyckelharpa

  Bach arranging and arranged : What happens when great composers arrange each other's works? Johann Sebastian Bach gave Pergolesi's Stabat Mater a new text and a new viola part, making a fresh piece that speaks both of Germany and Italy. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart gave string players the pleasure of playing fugues from the Well-tempered Clavier II: fresh arrangements by The Bach Players complete the set of all the four-part fugues from this work.

  J. S. Bach, Fugues from the Well-tempered Clavier II, arranged for string quartet by W.A. Mozart, K 405, c. 1782 G. B. Pergolesi, Stabat Mater in F minor, arranged by J. S. Bach on the text of Psalm 51: 'Tilge, Hochster, meine Sunden', BWV 1083, c. 1746

Neither Rachel Elliott nor Sally Bruce-Payne is over-assertive or over-eager to take centre stage, much preferring to preserve the penitential context of the piece and the ethereal beauty of the music ... In short, no rival version that I have heard on disc, and there are several, matches this one. Well-judged tempos and an ideal recorded sound set the seal on a particularly satisfying issue. To hell with the credit crunch, go and buy it, at once."

  Every one a chaconne

  This programme is centred on the chaconne: we hear how Henry Purcell and Johann Sebastian Bach join hands in this much-loved dance form of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Of the few works of Philipp Heinrich Erlebach that survive, we perform a suite that concludes with a chaconne. The two Bach cantatas are contrasting: BWV 150 is said to be Bach's earliest surviving cantata, BWV 78 was composed in Leipzig at the height of his career.

  Rachel Elliott - soprano
  Clare Wilkinson - alto
  Nicholas Mulroy - tenor
  Matthew Brook - bass
  Nicolette Moonen - violin
  Rodolfo Richter - -violin
  Anne Schumann - violin / viola
  Rachel Stott - viola
  Alison McGillivray - cello
  Elizabeth Bradley - double bass
  Marion Moonen - flute
  James Eastaway - oboe
  Catherine Latham - oboe
  Alastair Mitchell - bassoon
  Silas Standage - organ / harpsichord

  "There's something about the openness of sound, the sheer quality of music-making and the sense of connection between performers and composers that makes this a very special recording. Its contents explore the world of the Baroque chaconne, a secular dance form that became a staple of music for the concert room and chapel. The challenge of creating a piece above a repeated bass line certainly appealed to Bach, Purcell and the little-known Erlebach, each on inspired, inventive form in the works offered here. The Bach Players ... reach the music's emotional heart with tremendous conviction."

  Italian or French? Jean Baptiste Lully and Arcangelo Corelli were the champions of these two musical styles and the main subjects of the many attempts to establish which style was better. Or could the two styles be united? This programme paints a musical picture of the seventeenth century in Europe, through the music of Corelli, Lully, and their contemporaries.

  Chief among the reconcilers was the organist and composer Georg Muffat. German but of Scottish ancestry, it was he who introduced both styles to Germany. Also included are Rebel's homage to Lully and Couperin's to Corelli.

  "This is the most enjoyable programme of seventeenth-century chamber music I have heard in a long time. The recording manages to capture the strings in gutty rather than silvery detail so we relax and enjoy the music without suffering from steel-string fatigue. Altogether, this is a wonderfully diplomatic programme which brings the best out in everyone - French, Italian, German and performers alike."

  Nun komm! explores the form of the French overture in two of Johann Sebastian Bach's cantatas and in a piece by a predecessor: Philipp Heinrich Erlebach. The Bach Players gather their fullest forces to perform the two thrilling cantatas. Interspersed is Isaac's 'Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen', sung a capella and in two instrumental settings.

  J.S. Bach, Cantata 'Nun komm der heiden Heiland', BWV 61
  Philipp Heinrich Erlebach, Suite
  Heinrich Isaac, 'Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen'
  J.S.Bach, Cantata 'In allen meinen Taten', BWV 97

  "... this quite magical disc. Intimate, infused with joy and overflowing with genuine affection, this is music-making which combines enthusiasm and craftsmanship to create something both rare and precious. ... these are performances which stand out from the crowd for their freshness, vitality and sense of total commitment to the music"
  Marc Rochester - International Record Review, November 2010

  "This is an admirable recording: intelligently conceived and well performed. Both cantatas open with a chorus in the shape of a French overture: in no. 61 it's the slow introduction that incorporates phrases of the chorale, whereas in no. 97 the singers don't enter until the Vivace. The Erlebach piece, published in 1693, consists of a French overture followed by the usual suite of dances. The other theme of the disc is Heinrich Isaac's 'Innsbruck ich muss dich lassen', heard as a vocal quartet and as instrumental fantasias by Christian Hollander and Paul Lutkeman; and, lo and behold, it's the very tune that becomes the chorale melody at the beginning and end of 'In allen meinen Taten'. ... Nicolette Moonen plays brilliantly, as she does in the tenor aria of no. 97, with its roulades and double-stopping. Even if you don't like Bach sung one-to-a-part, you can't fail to enjoy these performances."

  Awesomely nerdy new wave here folks. There's something incredibly great about the lyrics of The Bots' fun, driving techno. Verses that would be super cheesy if delivered by a carbon based life form become delightfully campy and even a little fascinating when sung by "Synthia." When she utters phrases like "You've got to keep on pushing to a higher level" in the first track or "A good groove makes a captive of me" in her clipped, disaffected computer voice, it sounds precisely the way an android band would if they were earnestly trying to imitate club music. Whether it means to or not, this music ends up being a great parody of human beings' attempts to be devastatingly sexy and cool, and it just works somehow. It's also fantastic workout music.

"Synthia" gets slightly darker with the lyrics on this one, and we really feel the cyber-pathos when she frets that "the world is changing so fast around me" or that she's "trying to make this life worth living." We also particularly love that she says she's "just trying to keep it real," or when she announces that "she's losing control" in her utterly detached tones ("Don't Funk With The Funk Junkie"). Yes, folks, it's true: Synthia's charms go way beyond the cyber-double-Ds that her creator dreamed up for her. Check out The Bots today.

  'Everything comes to those who wait' by Celtic Reggae Revolution features a mix of reggae versions of traditional Irish songs and original Celtic/Reggae fusions. Well loved traditional Irish songs 'Raggle Taggle Gypsy' and 'Spancil Hill' are reworked in reggae style on, respectively, 'Raggle Taggle Reggae' and 'Spancil Hill/Gordon Wilson is a forgiver'. Original tune compositions include 'reggae reels' - a blend of reggae and traditional reels - 'Gandhi's Triumph' (with its delightfully syncopated rhythms) and 'The Very Hairy Rasta Fairy' and Brian Gilligan singing the laid back 'You Got to Laugh' and 'The United Mistakes of America' (complete with Hillbilly banjo and reggae beat).

  The lineup features Northern Irishman Jarlath Henderson, one of the finest exponents of the uilleann pipes in the World, he is a talented and versatile musician who also plays, low whistle, tin Whistle, flute and cittern in addition to having a fine voice. He regularly guests with Scottish bands Capercaille, Salsa Celtica and Phil Cunningham. Martin MacDonald from Lewis also features on guitar and his performances on "Good People" and "Raggle Taggle Reggae" in particular, are highlights of the album. Tom Roche from Cork, (Accordion) also features on some tracks with his "Sliabh Luachra" style and Egyptian Aly Salam features on drums and percussion.

  On board this time are German artist Dino Haak on the Mobius Megatar and vocals, DJ James Ho from Taiwan, Seattle's own Artis the Spoonman (Soundgarden, Zappa, Audislave etc.) on spoons and Alex Westcoat (Say Hi!, David Banzan) on the drums. With "A herd of wild Elephants coming right at you", "You guys are so Star Wars", "and a Heavy Nintendo vibe", the music transcends a variety of genres and attracts fans of artists such as System of A Down, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, The Prodigy and George Clinton.

  Fuelled by the songwriting of Nate Donnis and the production of Phil Woodring the music has honesty, simplicity, and complexity.

  A darkly pleasing romp through industrial/electronic/hard-rock genres.

  The artist (The Great Mooklaa Herashaa) writes: I am attempting to take the listener on a journey, a journey that mirrors my own, in that it follows my own inner search for the music inside to let itself out into reality.

  I start with more classic structured songs like Stomp and Discipline which stem from my own past in gothic and industrial music with a hint of BDSM bondage for flare.

  Then, add definite parts and arrangements in more experimental pieces with more emotion and unusual sounds and beats of their own such as Multch, Angel and Bloodsong.

  Finally, into the realm of trance like ambient states through pieces like Host Of Siafu and an almost psychedelic journey into the underworld itself with Syclicle and The Sterile InsomNiac.

  My hope is that the listener when finished will have the feeling of discovering that something special that only music can bring.

description:
  Andreas Ecker delivers another batch of his incredibly charismatic, unique take on world music, here conceived as a sleek, futuristic mash-up of imaginary languages layered over mid-tempo electronic beats and jazz-tinged melodies. Artists making this kind of music typically cite bands like Dead Can Dance and Delirium as influences, but Ecker says his run more along the lines of King Crimson, Frank Zappa, and Peter Gabriel. You can really hear the humor and crazy energy of these influences in the music, which sounds like the lost soundtrack to The Fifth Element. A groovy, surprising album-full of exotic flavor and vivid atmospheres. Listen for the fantastic bass performance by Ecker too.

description:
  The seventh album of The Headroom Project is a homage of the charismatic and expressive voice of Anna B. who wrote all the lyrics, too. Anna B. was born in South Africa and traveled around the whole world. Today she lives in Munich, Germany. In the 90s she climbed the international charts with some Mainstream pop music hits. On this album, Anna exhibits her talent for a further range of musical expressiveness. Together with the powerful beats and unconventional instrumental arrangements, a very special sound of electronic rock is produced.

  All the tracks were recorded in 2005 and have been completely re-mastered for release in 2010. The last song of this mini album is a bonus track in German.

  Do you want to discover a never before heard sound? This album invites you to take a vivid and vibrant journey across the world of music - without borders or limits. Using the latest voodoo-studio-technology Andreas Ecker (aka The Headroom Project) merges hypnotic rhythms with expressive ethno vocals and hyper-real instruments to create extraordinary music beyond all known genres. Alpine Choirs, Polynesian war-shouts, Mongolian overtone-singers, fragile, morbid and heartbreaking guitar-riffs are only a few of the stations you will pass during this totally unique musical journey.

  Combining amazing sound design with music from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, Jetuton Andawai is one of the most vibrant albums we've heard this year. With dazzling vocals, fantastic bass work, and studio voodoo that's just completely off the hook, it doesn't sound like anything else out there. "Linda Morena" is the graceful, near-a cappella intro, and things proceed to get more and more interesting after that. "Jetuton Andawai" sounds like a Bollywood record being played backwards to Peter Gabriel, and "Lost World" is even more trippy, with tumbling, echoey loops and driving bass. "Manu Yu" has a mellow yet infectious groove, and the excellent "Copeuse Concon" combines future-classical Indian vocals with smoky jazz. None of the influences here seem like they should work together (islandy xylophones in a blues track?), but they not only succeed, they succeed wildly for a potent, totally unique sound. "Yesterday" is the most radio friendly track on the album, with pretty vocals by Sigrid Havercamp. But in true Headroom fashion, most of the vocals of Jetuton Andawai are shaped and manipulated to the point where they form new, never before heard languages. It's world pop for the global village.

description:
  In Kananga transports the heat, pure power and color of West/Central Africa between Tanger (Marocco) and Kananga (Kongo). There we meet the famous medicine man.

  The inseparable force of rhythm and harmonies creates floating pictures you never imagined before. The track "How to ride an elephant" explains better that any special elephant-user-guide how to do what it says.

  The song "Cutzi" is sung in Purepecha (the language of the Central Mexican Indians) and is an entrance to deeper meditation. Perhaps you will find here even more spiritual power than in the wise words of the medicine man. "Lovedrive" is a rare but at the same time impressive dance somewhere between industrial and trip hop.

  Andreas Ecker (aka The Headroom Project), designed new instrument phrases by separating the overtones from existing samples and treating them like independent notes, changing their time-lapses and pitch-curves. You can hear the results on "fragile piano suffering under micro organismas" or on "Gerome" (where the percussion hits in the background).

  Andreas Ecker: all instruments, arrangements, mixes. Vocals on "In Kananga"
  Liliana Flores: Vocals on "Cutzi" and "Fuimos Cosmos"
  Sigrid Haverkamp: Vocals on "Lovedrive" and "Outside"

  Polaris combines ethno vocals with sometimes smooth, sometimes massive electronic beats and a huge range of wide-ranging instruments. World percussion meets rare and strange tone generators like ancient glass bowls or conch shell horns.

  Most of the vocals consist of cutted and recomposed syllables of exotic languages - except "Let there be silence", sung by Sigrid Haverkamp. The tracks 7 to 11 are experimental rhythmic soundscapes including song-like fragments, shaman singer (Polaris) or slow moving trombones over a hypntoic monotone bass (Roll and Roll and Roll).

description:
  YA! is the 10th album of The Headroom Project, released on Magnatune. It's a colourful journey into sound, a cross-genre kaleidoscope. Andreas Ecker aka The Headroom Project combines powerful african voices with, for example, native peruvian chants and electronica ("YA!" and "Patcha Mama"), Barbershop-chants with a children's music box and jazz/fusion-elements ("Bolebolebu"), noisy textures with poems ("Bereru 2017"), and heavy blues in 7/4 measure with Dark Metal chants. The two most danceable tracks, "I Am Not A Robot" and "Dark Night", are the results of a collaboration with Sigrid Haverkamp.

  Andreas Ecker works as a test author of audio software. One consequence of this job is the ability to use new voodoo-software for The Headroom Project. For example, the slightly crazy-sounding female chant of "In der kalten Schachtel" ("in a box so cold") is the result of a transformation of a rather stupid-sounding rap chant from a sample library.

  The background-texture of "Bereru 2017" is the result of several sound-destructive plug-ins. Beside technical tricks and unusual combinations of musical elements, humor is one important aspect of The Headroom Project: "I Like That" is a persiflage of traditional German carnival march-music.

  La Follia Itinerante. The itinerant madness. Der Fahrende Wahnsinn.

  It is that moment in time and place when the soul catches a slow motion glimpse of itself traveling willy-nilly through the maelstrom of the great vortex. At once noble and base, it is coloured in a chromatic blue melancholy and dry red pathos. There too is the peace that comes with acceptance of one's fate... and the anguished impossibility of not struggling against this same fate... La Follia Itinerante holds up a mirror that we may see ourselves as we really are: beggars before God. And makes us laugh at our own pitiful and ludicrous condition.

  A true Follia is unique at each playing. It exists for a moment and then vanishes. This one was caught on a warm and sunny afternoon in a garden house on the southern slopes of the Schwarzwald. It takes as inspiration the Follias of Nicholas Chedeville, Corelli, Vivaldi, Marais and the many other composers, known and unknown, who have added to our treasure store of Follias.

  Ok, Berlin is just so damn sexy. Angular, androgynous, pouty?it's a Bowie/Siouxsie-influenced urchin of an album that'll have you strutting around the house like a Milanese model on a Fashion Week catwalk. Highlights include the smouldering opener "Impressions," the world's only New Wave drinking song "We Didn't Go," and the deliciously disaffected "Tap At Floes." Skeptics take note: this is not the trend-hopping New Wave of the last few years; this the direct descendent of New Wave...its legitimate heir.

  For a decidedly new wave album, there's a lot of passion and emotion on Erase. Danyx's brooding, Nico-esque voice has a searching quality about it, and there are some great moments when it breaks out of its stylized discontent to become genuinely melodic and, fleetingly, joyous. Recommended tracks include "Face," "Delicate," the Cure-tinged "Tied," and "Take Me to the World," a bittersweet but ultimately upbeat song that hints at what's to come on The Kokoon's incredible follow-up Berlin.

  Medieval music meets living modal music traditions: The Lost Mode features an eclectic set of music from the Middle Ages, as well as melodies from Sephardic, North African, Armenian, Breton, and Basque modal traditions. Our interpretations are meant to extend, complement, and bridge the gap between written sources and oral transmission.

  New compositions based on medieval models stand next to their century-old counterparts. Some melodies are lifted out of their original context, presented in a different meter, or brought to life on instruments that would not have been known in the music's original culture. The result: a multi-layered, time-and boundary-crossing collection of tones, timbres, textures, lovingly held together by the common thread of mode.

  During The Napoleon Blownaparts US tour stint supporting KISS and WEEZER back in 2001 the band had plans to record their long awaited followup to their 1998 album "Thrill Hype" but due to conflicting schedules plans to record were put on hold as drummer Jesus Mendez Jr. had prior commitments to his other band NEWSTED (see Jason Newsted of METALLICA).

  Mendez and Ajax along with new recruit Eric Griffin (MURDER DOLLS) on bass guitar finally entered the studio to begin tracking but because of musical differences the band never got passed the recordings of just two cover tracks with Griffin as part of the line up. The two tracks that were recorded were ultimately released as part of Jetboys Of Babylon (a tribute to The New York Dolls album) which featured David Johansen himself and Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols. Ajax, Mendez and Griffin contributed a blistering version of the Dolls classic Puss In Boots.

  Griffin's replacement was bassist Doug Wellmon a young punk rocker from Hollywood California and a former member of the band Pipedown.

  When the two musicians finally began tracking they recruited a number of musicians to guest on what would become the CRISIS album including legendary blues musicians John Clifton on Harmonica and the legendary Edward Burke on piano. The 70 year old Edward Burke also played with the Ike and Tina Turner Review in the 1970's. Long time friend and guitarist Jessie Farnsworth also of NEWSTED completed the line up and CRISIS was finally released in 2010. AMERICA'S TIRE company used the opening track HELL YEAH as part of their national advertising campaign and the UK CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE picked up on the second single MY SPACE PICTURES for their tribute to Guns N' Roses insert Sons Of Guns.

  Sonically CRISIS is a raw mix of punk rock and garage rock and roll with heavy doses of soul and the blues. Drawing influences from the likes of The Rolling Stones, New York Dolls, The Stooges and heavy tip of the hat to Chuck Berry the CRISIS album takes you on a dark trip down a seedier side of Hollywood California not advertised to tourists.

  The classic slash and burn guitars, frantic drumming under the impressive vocal range of guitarist/vocalist Ajax Garcia make up this low-fi gem.

  Recognized for his powerful, raw, biting but truthful commentary on our cultural and social condition, Ajax' work on the song "Hedonistic Babies" resonates on every level! Garcia is a post postmodern rarity of authentic swagger and angst, continually serving up his Fresno-born and Hollywood-bred artistry on his own terms. Crisis Starts Now!

  Biting guitars and gritty, pissed off rock vocals anyone? Yes please. Napoleon Blown Aparts are like a punked up Guns 'N Roses with a dash of The Dolls (See "Unlucky Star"). Ajax Garcia's voice sounds absolutely great on this album, and we can't get enough of his crystal clear, spot-on guitar work either. These guys are clearly rock purists. We like-y. Oh and check out "Sonny" for a totally unexpected combination of bongo drums and "motherfucker" references.

  This album is packed with gritty grooves, sensual female vocals, funky bass and drums and old style keys. A combination of vocal tracks and purely instrumental tunes inspired by 70's cop show soundtracks and Funk Club music take the listener back to a time of car chases through litter strewn alleys, Afro haircuts, purple flairs and smoky bars. So, kick back and enjoy...

  Packed full of driving beats, funky bass and electric guitars, dusty keyboards and Disco Diva vocals, Lookin' Fly is a party on your hard drive.

  Building on the success of "Keep Your Head Up", the new songs continue the band's tradition of mixing old and new funky disco styles that sound equally at home in any of the last 4 decades.

  With The Old Recruits back in the studio after six months on the road, "Lookin' Fly" is a collection of new songs written during sessions held in the first months of 2015.

  These are a collection of previously unreleased old songs that have been re-recorded, remixed and remastered, plus a couple of new tracks all recorded during the COVID lockdown period. It was a challenging time for a lot of people for a lot of reasons and so I looked to some old projects for some upbeat inspiration. They were pretty rough tracks that I had put together when I was just starting out in production. I stripped them out, re-recorded most parts, got my son to play bass to help give a more live feel to the music and before I knew it, I had a group of tracks that sounded like a series of 70s Cop Show soundtracks. It provided the spark for some great memories of simpler, happier times. Hope you enjoy.

  This instrumental version of the Proper Authorities' 2009 Magnatune release "Public Service Announcement" provides a modern pop rock bed of groove, drama, intensity, and fun. With the exception of the opening track, the originally lyric-free track "The Supermachine Looks Much Bigger on TV," this collection of songs focuses on a non-vocal soundscape of various moods and timbres. Sometimes playful, sometimes serene, sometimes epic, sometimes melancholic, these tracks are always interesting.

  When discussing the approach to writing the original album, Proper Authorities' brainchild Keith Adams described its primary theme as "how time affects our approaches to living... a song about 'You can accomplish anything you want' has more weight and realism to it when you add 'But you'd better step up to the task before it's too late.'"

  Though the words are absent, the urgency and attitude of these songs is still very much present. The hard-edged guitar work and no-holds-barred drums of the track "Losing The Now" evokes a feel of a military march with victorious and timely purpose. The electro-rock synth stylings and slinky bass work of "Make A Choice For Me" suggest a cold, urban environment and an immediacy of action required. And songs like "The Ninth Life Jitters" and "Whodunit" are just plain fun rock songs! Enjoy "Public Service Announcement: Instrumental"!

  One Armed Bandits is a multi-faceted menu of beat-heavy, darkened R'n'B/Soul, with each song having a distinctly different influence and flavor from the next. There are wide variations, from the funky "Stuck in RED", to the ethereal "My Medicine", to the highly danceable "Slight of Hand" and "But You're Mine", the dirge-like "Daddy May I", and the rockin' "Ain't the Madonna, Ain't Your Whore".

  However, even with this wide a palette, the group never loses its own cohesive, identifiable sound. It remains consistent across the board, with wah-wah guitars, saucy horns, liberal use of electronics and samples, and sultry vocals. With all its cohesive range, "One Armed Bandits" delivers.

  Analogue Imperfections picks up the story where the previous album, 9 Fifty 8ths left off. It continues to explore soundtrack themes combined with contemporary dance and electronica rhythms and sounds. Traditional orchestral arrangements and orchestrations were also included and mixed with cutting edge synthesized sounds and textures to bolster the cinematic and expansive feel of some of the tracks. As the title suggests, more of the parts were played and recorded live and any timing or tuning errors or other mistakes were left in the final recording. It was a deliberate decision to pull away from the overly clean and sometimes sterile sound of digital music.

  I hope you like it!

  Garden of Fugitives continues the theme of creating electronic music with a heart and soul. At times more introspective and reflective than their previous "10 Raptures" album, but still with tracks of power, rhythm and melody. From harsh, distorted leads to sweet, soaring strings, from soft acoustic drums to club spec beats Garden of Fugitives is a journey through all that electronic music can offer. If you thought you didn't like electronic, take a listen and think again.

  9 Fifty 8ths, the new album from The Rapture, is an exploration of more expansive electronic soundscapes, built around more cinematic and wide-ranging themes than previous works, yet still maintaining a link with contemporary dance styles and beats.

  The album was written, recorded, produced and mastered over the summer of 2015 at Mount Street Studios using both hardware and software synthesizers and drum machines, including: Roland TB3, TR8, miniNova, MOX6, Massive, FM8, Garritan PO4, Proteus 2000 and B3. It was programmed and recorded into Sony Acid Pro and mastered in Izotope Ozone Advanced.

  We hope you like it!

description:
  On this album I wanted to explore the current fashion for analogue synthesis and pure analogue sounds, placed against different styles of modern dance music but also continuing my efforts to write electronic music which takes the listener on a journey in every song. This album was six months in the making; written, recorded and produced in the second half of 2013.

  The 11 tracks include rave, trip-hop, trance, rap and drum and bass influenced music unified by electrifying, screaming leads, pounding drums and complex arrangements, interspersed with more vocal sections than in previous albums.

  Play this on your iPod in the gym and run faster, jump higher and hit harder. Play it on your car radio and I can't be held responsible for your speeding fines! Please enjoy...Rush.

description:
  Taking inspiration from early Jean Michel Jarre and 80's analogue synth sounds, then combining contemporary dance beats and rhythms with a classical approach to form and structure, the album seeks to take dance music out of the clubs and place it firmly into a listening environment.

  The tracks on 10 Raptures are in equal part dance, ambient and trance with a dose of electro thrown in for good measure. 10 Raptures was written, recorded and produced over the course of 10 months from Spring 2011 onwards. Using a multitude of hardware and software synthesizers, samples, drum machines and effects, the tracks were written, recorded, produced and mastered in-house at Mount Street Studio near London.

  Taking the listener on a journey through trance, dub, drum and bass and back, it's best played loud; preferably in a dark club with lots of flashing lights and smoke.

  Alternatively, a phone and headphones will do just fine...whichever way you listen, please enjoy more electronica with a heart. 2000Hz is the fourth album from UK producer "The Rapture".

description:
  The reminding ideas are brought about by the use of pressure, command, and authorization. They bring to mind a human being's product of mental activity and high levels of industrialized standards of living by combining all of one's characteristics. There are good ideas and bad ideas. There are rules, and there are animals. Some vegetables can bring you happiness. Other foods can give you just one final remaining idea. Whatever the case may be, you will save the day. This is where we all take a deep breath and wait for August to appear again and again and again and again and again.

  Vegetables
  Spending thoughts make us forget everything. The notes we save will never be read. You may disagree, but plates don't. Circle around and around the world until we all catch the fever. Let's give the dog a bath. Let's give ourselves a bath. Don't forget to open the envelope before we jump in. This envelope contains the word of the day. Positively, nothing will go as planned. Nowhere can we run. Nowhere can we hide. We water the earth. We water the mouths. Unacceptable.

  Rules for Animals
  We weren't suppose to be reasoning with life. We demand rules. No one should go through this. Bitched again and again. Flies are for flying, not dropping. Doors are for opening. Remember readers. Remember the word of the day. Mark it down forever. We are grabbing our belongings and coming for you now. Stay put and hide. Then, it is your job to get us out. Show us a way out, please.

  Do You Understand?
  Boom Down. Boom Down. Can you hear me? Again down. Boom Down. I'm calling your name. Unbelievable down. All down. Again down. I can hear you. Down boom down. Bow down again down. Got you. Go

  August
  Attention, Everyone here had disordered. This doesn't feel real, but it is. Or is it? We got here from a flash of a light. It looks like we used to live here, but it's different. Everyone sides with everyone. Sometimes there is a glitch and a restart. Bring along fall for future assistance. It's quite peaceful here, but something is majorly fucked up. Holy shit, that person is floating. I gotta run.

  Swarm of Bees
  We've accepted our sightseeing. Surrounding thy swordsmen with our spores, we are the air. This battle begins at birth. We have a circle we can't get out of. The circle can expand into infinity, but we can't leave the circle. Got to just accept this. We can't leave the circle. Welcome new friends of friends. We know each other, but we don't. Who are you? How do I know you? We are all nervous. Sit. Relax yourself. There are plots we must avoid. The net prank is a pitfall. AVOID.

  The Remaining Idea
  Relaxed, wow, sounds like fresh flowers in the distance. Wait, fresh flowers have sound now. We must have fallen into the trap. Now, we have crossed our hearing and smelling. The heat around us. This gets stronger around Hope Hill. She's one big volcano bursting down some of our huts. We just had another restart. Crawl backflipper star. We feel the energy inside you. Each picture is worth a galaxy

  Good Clown, Bad Clown
  The cartoons keep popping on cue. Look at our costume. Every time the funny friends laugh and joke. While singing to the boring children, We stopped performing miracles years ago. What does this mean? We are being really hard on ourselves. Have another drink and another. Tell the kids to stay away from the ice cream man. He's getting more attention this way. I take pride in what I do, and all this guy does is drive up in a moving shed with wheels with a music box and...... what a loser

  This is Where We Breathe
  So glad we got away. This is cloud nineteen hundred and twenty thousand that we have counted pass us. Much lower now, everyone has forgotten up to 70 years before this trip. Inhale. Why are we here? Exhale. The wind is changing colors on us. We get on this boat, we drift down this river. Now the upstairs door to the weather can't control us.

  Save the New Day
  Rush the Riches Cavern. The fun never started. We die. Over the river are alive people. This is where we tell fun lies and truth beyond. Gravity and rocks. Save the sunshine.

  I Can Bring You Happiness
  Crease, dent, and polish bad apples. Remind me again to remind me ideas. Remind GOOD people ideas that happiness is correct. Never Fall. Never Fail. Always on time. Correct? Yes. Always happy. Remember forever.

  This deeply beautiful recording presents two of Johann Sebastian Bach's cantatas for solo voice, one-Weichet nur-a celebratory wedding ode and the other his celebrated masterpiece for the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin. Internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Dominique Labelle and three time Grammy nominee Sanford Sylvan lend their incredible voices to the Sarasa Ensemble in order to depict both the idyllic, pagan landscape of the first work, and the luminous, "lullaby to the soul" of the second. A third work-Liebster Jesu-features a "sacred dialogue" between these two sublime voices, and the entire album makes clear why The Sarasa Ensemble is so often praised for its great clarity of style.

description:
  Coalizione del Volere, the new album from The Seldon Plan, is a direct descendant of their video sessions - reflective of a desire of the band to step back to a more Dischord-era-like guitar-driven rock sound, akin to 2005's Making Circles but with the softer, more mature edge of 2007's The Collective Now. On Coalizione del Volere, the band seems intent on exploring a more angular guitar rock sound within the context of focused melodies and textured intricate harmonies.

  Listeners who have enjoyed The Seldon Plan through their first four records will delight as The Big Takeover has at the "...Baltimore foursome's continued maturation." To this end, the band presents a mature Seldon Plan sound, an amalgam of influences that can be heard but do not define Coalizione del Volere. The use of strong and repeatable melodies is reminiscent of the American Analog Set, yet the technicolor layers of Coalizione del Volere bring to mind Let Go-era Nada Surf and The Californian by Sunday's Best. To drive home this past/present dichotomy The Seldon Plan has teamed up again with engineer Frank Marchand (The Thermals, Bob Mould), who worked with the band on 2005's Making Circles, and 2007's The Collective Now.

  The highly nuanced indie rock of The Seldon Plan combines clean, lilting harmonies with a brooding emo undercurrent...kind of like if Brian Wilson and Ian MacKaye had co-produced a Cure album. The real life producers of Making Circles are every bit the fantasy pairing too: Frank Marchand is known for his work with Bob Mould and Good Charlotte, and Charlie Pilzer for his with Ida and The Kennedys. Together, they helped The Seldon Plan perfect its thoughtful, polished sound while leaving in all the dire elements that keep it from being too settled or safe. Better yet, Making Circles is absolutely riddled with standout tracks including "Holding Patterns Are Slow," and "Top Left Corner," a mesmerizingly beautiful and poignant song.

  Whimsical, nostalgic indie pop tells the story of expectant hope and recession blues.

  The Seldon Plan reemerges with whimsy with their highly anticipated album LOST AND FOUND AND LOST, a worthy follow-up to their 2007 record THE COLLECTIVE NOW. Praised for its "catchy simple melodies awash with lush vocals, hip full guitars, and a hint of Flaming Lips" by artist/composer Mark Degli Antoni (David Byrne/Soul Coughing) and dubbed "smart pop with no wasted space" by record producer Brian McTernan (Senses Fail/Piebald/Thrice), LOST AND FOUND AND LOST plays with images of childhood nostalgia to embrace the economic and political pendulum.

  The Baltimore-based indie pop rockers are known for their "tuneful-wistful rock" (The Washington Post) and "literate, yet still youthful" (Allmusic) sound. Aptly named, LOST AND FOUND AND LOST portrays the juxtaposition of excitement and uncertainty in a country undergoing a changing political situation. "These were the hardest lyrics I've ever had to write, but now that they're out, I feel really energized," says singer/songwriter Michael Nestor.

  Calling their latest LP "a burst of new flavor", The Big Takeover's Jack Rabid expressed delight at the "Baltimore foursome's continued maturation" and compared it favorably to "melodic pop favorites such as Feelies' offshoot Wild Carnation, Winnipeg's wonderful Weakerthans, great Scots Camera Obscura, and Portland's Dimes."

  The Strap-Ons aren't going to waste any of your time, oh no. They cut straight to the chase and bring THE ROCK exactly the way it was meant to be brought: edgy, messy, sexy. Twenty five shot glasses full of high octane guitars and awesomely bad attitude really do it for us (plus a healthy dose of humor too -- "Wicca Chicka" is hysterically funny). You're gonna wanna have this one on hand for those days when you feel like telling everyone where to go. Check out "This Place Sucks" to see what we mean. A fantastically unsubtle album that hits the bullseye, straight-on.

  Metafonik can be seen as The Stroj's first electric/electronic album.

  The musical approach of The Stroj collective brings us a unique retro futuristic sound, an exciting mixture of industrial, electronic, avant-garde, tribal and experimental influences, recorded and performed with heavy, rusty and odd looking instruments.

  Epic musical themes, powered by heavy industrial percussions create a sound like the soundtrack for an action sci-fi movie or steampunk festival.

  Compositions are charged with high voltage electronics and driven by uncompromising beats, performed with bare hands, heavy sticks and hammers.

  If Nikola Tesla felt like dancing, he'd choose Metafonik.

description:
  These three EPs, combined into an album, each shows different sides of the rock/prog/electro-rock sound that is The Town Monster. Each EP explores a different musical concept.

  The three shorts from the April EP are almost entirely electronic and feature a much snappier, more polished sound than the previous EPs. This one treads bizarre yet poppy territory, coming off like a Burlesque/New Wave mashup of Radiohead and Faith No More. "Atari Girl" is a raging beast of a track with multiple layers of bass, synth choirs, and some demented big top rapping. "Stay 4 Tha Night" is a song about being seduced by the devil and features some impressive synth fondling. The final, moody track, "Meet Me in the Forest", was used for the band's first foray into music video and animation, which became a large part of their work in the future. By April the band had realized they couldn't stay in the warehouse for a prolonged period of time and found a new headquarters at Electraplay Studios in Hilliard, Ohio.

  The May EP sounds a bit like the band has spring fever. The production is brighter and bits of sunshine are beginning to peek through. The arrangements are lighter, too: the main instruments in these numbers are acoustic and electric piano and banjo. The first track is mysteriously titled "The Town Monster (Part Two)" and tells a story of an angel who comes to earth and warns the townspeople to repent...to which they promptly reply by burning him at the stake. By this point it is apparent that the band has grown comfortable taking risks with their music and their presentation of it, but also confident enough to write low-key, folk-inspired songs like the closing track "Onward", one of the best in their catalogue.

  Definitely an oddball of the group, the June EP saw The Town Monster in a transitional period. This was to be the last they recorded with their excellent former bass player Mike Rana and he is featured heavily here, practically taking lead duties on the only instrumental song in the collection, "1 A.M.". This EP is deep, dark and groovy...syrupy, even. All three are tinged with hip hop beats and further experimentation with pitch-shifted and auto-tuned vocals. The closing track "Oil" was written the day after the historic BP oil spill and wound up being one of the band's angriest, most unique and most universal songs. It helps that it features fantastic lead guitar work by Rob Bradley of Sleepers Awake, as well as samples of the late Professor Longhair, a creole pioneer of rock and roll.

  Ohio Sessions (January EP)
  In the middle of snowy January 2010, The Town Monster announced on their MySpace page (yes, bands had those back then) that they would be putting out an EP on the last day of every month for the whole year. Shockingly, they did...and it's actually good.Recording and releasing a 44-song collection month by month month over the course of a year and in many locations would be a daunting task for any band. Nevertheless, while facing several lineup changes amidst relentless live performances, The Town Monster managed to churn out these bite-size albums one at a time, spanning numerous genres and managing to find their own particular sound in the process. The January EP begins with a brief acoustic tribute to their midwestern home before going straight into electropop territory. It ends with in icy piano ballad over glitched-out drum loops and orchestra samples, hinting at the numerous styles to come.

  Ohio Sessions (February EP)
  The February EP eventually became one of The Town Monster's most popular releases, and opening track "Raincloud" became a staple of their live show. On the remaining three tracks they begin toying with song structure and instrumentation, making use of 808s, banjos, pitch-shifted vocals, wind, rain, and samples from a song by the now-defunct Columbus band Burglar. "Birds and Bees are Natural Enemies" starts off almost sweetly, but the storm clouds make an ominous return, and by the end you are drowning in a flood of synthesizers. "Mongrel" is the band's best attempt yet at their own blend of mad circus rock. Although it serves the Ohio Sessions well, this EP stands out as a gem of its own.

  Ohio Sessions (March EP)
  March of 2010 saw the Monster in need of a new cave, and they temporarily found themselves in a dilapidated warehouse with no heat...and an EP to record if they were going to stay true to their word. According to the band, they could "see their breath during practice" and they would "record until their hands froze and they were forced to seek shelter". The recordings reflects the harsh conditions of their birthplace...they are abrasive and drenched in a metallic natural reverb from the giant open space they were taped in. Close listening reveals trains going by in the distance. The songs themselves are traditional/blues/hard rock at first glance, but the band's myriad influences still peek through with bits of melotron, destroyed keyboard, and ukulele. Vocally, this EP finds singer Nathan Photos becoming more comfortable in his own shoes, and these performances, which are mostly concerned with poverty and violence, sound scathing and desperate. This is Ohio rock at its finest.

  Ohio Sessions (July EP) - Once again, the band did a 180 and released three songs featuring acoustic guitars and almost all major chords. It is bouncy and up-tempo, even featuring a song called "Summertime" that might be the closest they have yet come to straight-up pop music. The other two, "For Your Love" and "Why Does it Have to Hurt?" both come off sappy and sweet due to their Motown/traditional rock vibe, but the whole set are actually quite somber in their content. By the end you realize this is plastic, Lego sunshine and it can't possibly last. And in that sense, the band captured the fleeting beauty and the essence of Summer in the best way a (typically) dark electronic rock band possibly could.

  Ohio Sessions (August EP) - Although this EP is a personal favorite of mine, there are arguably no "standout" tracks in this bunch. Instead, the band is more focused, quieter. You can finally begin to see them trying to adopt a "less is more" attitude, and the songs flow together quite well, despite the usual genre-hopping. "The Silver Thread" and "I Am The Forest Floor" (which feature the band's usual drummer Matt Grady on acoustic guitar) have a transcendent, otherworldly quality about them and frankly sound unlike any other band. Of course they bear resemblances to countless artists, but these songs, despite their flaws, are unmistakably and undeniably The Town Monster and no one else. The album closes with a gorgeous indie-style piano ballad that sounds like a tip of the hat to The Doves or The Autumns. It's a bittersweet kiss goodbye to the summer, and a surprising EP from a band full of surprises.

  Ohio Sessions (September EP) September wound up becoming the most popular of the Ohio Sessions EPs and it's easy to see why. "One Thousand Wolves" became one of the band's most beloved songs, garnering heavy local radio play on CD102.5. "Dirty Little Secrets", with its cheesy church organ and steadily-picked bass could have been plucked straight from an 80's album if it weren't so strangely modern. This is music for vampires who also happen to love Bruce Springsteen. The closing track, "Pawn Shop", was the only song out of all 44 released during the Ohio Sessions that the band posted by itself on their Facebook page and said, "Listen to this one, it's good." Their first real venture into industrial music, it manages to feel like an old Sneaker Pimps or Massive Attack song with overdubs by Mars Volta and hints of, dare I say it...black metal? Whatever you want to call it, this was the point when people realized this band was not like other bands.

  Ohio Sessions (October EP)
  By now the boys seemed to have hit their stride, and they released this EP ahead of schedule so people could have it for Halloween, appropriately. It is commonly, mistakenly referred to as "The Halloween EP". These are the darkest songs in the collection, filled with lyrics about ghosts, possessed dolls, skeletons and witches and put to a soundtrack of smashed pianos, theremins, screaming, layers of shrieking guitars, thunderous drum machines crammed in the middle of real drums, and more screaming. This was the only EP the band recorded "live" in the studio, which even most non-musicians realize isn't very common nowadays. Although there are overdubs, it is apparent that it was recorded quickly and furiously. They can barely contain their energy, and it is most obvious at moments like the end of "Paper Boats, Paper Ghosts", which would almost sound like Black Sabbath if they weren't tripping over each other in their mania, or the climactic buildup toward the end of "B1G WH00P1N' 5K3L3T0N5 (I'm Not Guilty Anymore)" when all the disparate pieces finally come together in a lovely, relieving crescendo to let you know the nightmare is over.

  Ohio Sessions (November EP)
  It is the general consensus that the November EP left a lot of newcomers wondering if this was the still the same band from last month. Leaving all the neon lights and loud noises behind, they retreated back to pianos and banjos and released one of their most accomplished (and again one of their most understated) albums. With the exception of "The Glow" and its incessant drum machine, 90's guitar and Bjork-esque bells, these songs are gentler, more thoughtful, and more emotional. "The Coward" is one of their most mature works and proves there's some really good musicians buried under all those electronics. At this point, they sound like a band completely devoted to challenging themselves, and to constantly evolving.

  Ohio Sessions (December EP)
  When The Town Monster saw the finish line for this project, they knew they had to end it with a bang, and so they did...but not before they released a 25-minute animated Christmas special (yes, of course it's a musical!) in which they suffer the toils of being a local rock band, join a superhero group called The Shadow League of Rock and Roll Defenders of the World, and battle a dragon (of course). The December EP is a much more serious affair and is probably the best of the bunch. Yes, this is the same band it was twelve months ago, but their recordings became significantly more refined over that course of time, as did their songwriting, and it is a fascinating journey. After the sweeping eleven minute epic that is merely titled "(/)", the listener is left with what we now realize was the missing second half of "Ohio", the first song from the January EP. It is a touching moment as Photos starts listing off the things that "will always make his heart explode", and those things turn out to be a lot of the things he's been singing about all along. These twelve albums are not without the occasional misstep; indeed, many times it is the sound of a band trying something new and they don't have sure footing. You also get the feeling that, sometimes, they had a lot more work they wanted to do, but it was the end of the month, and it was time to move on. But it is this scrapbook quality that makes the Ohio Sessions a far more successful documentary of a band than a film could hope to be. As far as I'm aware, The Town Monster are the only artists that have done a project like this, and something magical was captured here. If every band worked this hard and took this many chances, the world would be a pretty different place.

  The Union Trade follow the contours of proven terrain and map the outlines of an evolving sound. In moments throughout, the band strips away the epic layers of their first album to expose the intimacy of a beautiful guitar line, the gravity of a simple piano progression, or the emotion and lyricism of a vocal performance. Energized by dynamic rhythms, the EP progresses from the familiar into new territory marked by a broader range of analog and acoustic keyboards, electronic elements and The Union Trade's most concise song structures to date. "Why We Need Night" captures The Union Trade as they continue to define the space where instrumental rock influences meet a more mainstream indie rock sound.

  Nocturne is a great album. It's got a great retro-disco feel, but on top of that it's just an unusually elegant work of pop? perfect harmonies, superb mood, and a fantastic ratio of dance-y/party energy to mellow, mid-tempo goodness. We've found that it's the absolute perfect thing to have on for a evening cocktails, because it keeps things the energy really up and buzzy without overwhelming anything. "Artificial" is one of the best tracks in the entire Magnatune catalog, and the entire album is just totally feel-good all around: positive, stylish, sexy, soulful.

  The West Exit's unique electro-soul sound is showcased like a pendulum on Unearthed. Starting out on the jazzy-soulful side, then swinging way off into the ambient electronic realm, back and forth until eventually landing in that sweet spot in the middle. The lyrical content spans everything from the usual suspects of love lost and love gained to the matters of religion, politics and the sad ballad of a broken hand drum.

  Unearthed is a collection of b-sides and other unreleased music from The West Exit. The songs range from recordings done back in 2002 (when the band went by the name Dim At Asia) up to the non-album tracks from the Extra Century Perception album sessions in 2009. The diversity illustrates the evolution that the sound of The West Exit has undergone while still maintaining their knack for haunting melodies and addictive grooves.

  Ambulatory explores further what was started with Cyst: it's a super-smart hybrid of noisecore and drum'n'bass, with tons of texture and depth. Chilling noise-ambient opener "Admission" starts things off, after which we get into what appears the lightly rhythmic "Hope (living in stereo)," only to be ambushed mid-way through by an awesomely psychotic glitch-freakout. "Unrelax" is a great example of how well The Wretch blends atmospheric sounds with harder-edged ones, and the remix closer of "Alerting" has as huge, future-industrial sound. This genre can too often be mindless, but not The Wretch. The rhythms here are ultra-savvy and the sonic pallette, gigantic. They've got it going on.

  Fantastically dark, elegantly industrial, Cyst by The Wretch is a suprisingly nuanced album that favors dynamic variation over mindlessly repeated loops. It's a hybrid of noisecore and drum 'n'bass, but with really smart rhythms and a noise-ambient wash that lends a huge amount of atmosphere and depth. There's a really satisfying level of sonic texture on Cyst too; the juxtaposition of totally glitched out, ever-changing beats with the eerie ghost calls and dystopian waveforms in the background works really well. The opener "Turned" and "Do You" are great, "This is Terror" is beautifully brutal, and we absolutely love"Feel The Burning."

  Pop culture has absorbed horror rock influences since the genre emerged in the post-punk ashes of the twentieth century. At the dawn of the new millennium, from their home hunting grounds of Philadelphia, the Young Werewolves unleashed their self-titled debut recording.

  Now, after establishing an underground following and receiving favorable press from publications like MaximumRockNRoll and the Village Voice, the trio serve up their second sacrifice to all things horror and rock.

  Cheat The Devil contains a set of thirteen tracks with a few surprises and a special guest star. Mad genius and ace producer Andy Kravitz once again presided over the sessions assuring a mysterious and spooky soundscape.

  Cult film legend and executive producer, Sid Haig makes an appearance on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde narrating the adapted text of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic. A wicked laugh track ensues, that you'd be hard pressed to find on any other record.
