Hadouken! - For The Masses (2010)

pure energy :)

update:
F misto albumul. Ceva mediu intre Prodigy, Chemical Brothers si Asian dub foundation :)
Bine..exagerez. Insa Hadouken! chair au reusit sa scoata un album calitativ intr-un stil in care doar f. putini reusesc sa imrpesioneze cu adevarat.


O surpriza palcuta a fost si faptul ca vin la BEstfest la vara in Buc. Intuitia imi sopteste ca prestatia live nu va fi mai proasta decat albumul :)



"Hadouken! are a indie/electro band formed in 2006 at the University of Leeds, United Kingdom by vocalist James Smith (born 1985) and guitarist Daniel “Pilau” Rice (born 1986). After forming their own record label, Surface Noise Records, in February 2006 Smith began writing and demoing the first Hadouken! tracks. The band was formed in October 2006 with Daniel Rice’s brother, drummer Nick Rice (born 1988) and James Smith’s then girlfriend Alice Spooner who plays synths. In December 2006 they added bassist Chris Purcell (born 1986) to their lineup.

In February 2007 the band released their first record, a two song vinyl with the song “That Boy That Girl”, which gained mainstream popularity after the video, directed by friend Bob Harlow, made it onto MTV2. Shortly after the video, the band added bassist Chris Purcell. After releasing their 12-track mixtape “Not Here To Please You” on November 12, 2007 featuring originals and remixes, the band returned to the studio to complete their debut album Music for an Accelerated Culture. This featured nine new songs as well as the single “Liquid Lives” and was released on May 5th 2008. It achieved reasonable success reaching 12th in the UK album charts.

In mid-2009, the band recorded their second studio album, For The Masses, in Holland with drum and bass producers Noisia. The band described the new album as being different, both lyrically and musically. The album was released on February 25th 2010 and did not have the same success as their debut album, receiving generally poor reviews from critics and reaching 19th in the UK album charts."

Phaeleh - Fallen (2010)

Dubstepul, pentru mine, mult timp a insemnat Burial. Si ce nu era Burial putea sa atraga cu 2-3 piese, insa nicidecum nu ma tenta sa scot albumul.
Well .. Phaeleh e o trupa care m-a coplesit cu sunetul sau. Poate prea lounge, poate cu unele note comerciale, insa per total a lasat o impresie placuta. Sumbra si placuta :)


"In 2006, classically trained musician and electronic sound scientist Matt Preston was swept up in the wake of the Dubstep phenomenon. His diverse influences resulted in an equally diverse musical output, ranging from the euphoric heights of Nordic electronica through cinematic breakbeat to the depth charges of Dubstep.

Phaeleh’s unique sound has garnered support from the scene’s leading artists, including Skream, N-Type, Scuba, Distance, Kryptic Minds, Oris Jay, RSD and Jakes to name but a few, as well as radio support on BBC Radio 1, BBC Asian Network, BBC 6 Music and Kiss FM. This has helped Phaeleh to top the sales charts with releases on Surface Tension, Against the Grain & Urban Scrumping as well as future releases on Skream’s Disfigured Dubz, N-Type’s Wheel & Deal Records and label of the moment Black Box."(c)lastfm

Lemongrass - Ambient Land (1,2 ep ) (2007, 2010)

2 albume de ambient de la Lemongrass. Foarte nebosnuite, pentru ca e Lemongrass si e ambient. Si ..foarte frumoase(din aceleasi motive :) )


The lion never sleeps. And Roland Voss never rests. This soaring man surprises once again, and presents Lemongrass’ first ambient release.

Starting out as a drum and bass artist then fusing his own downtempo-lounge style to now making ambient tracks? Whats scary is that Lemongrass can perfect any style he takes on! This albums is no exception to that.

Solar Fields – Origin # 01 (2010)

Plimbarea prin labelul descris mai jos a mai adus o surpriza placuta: albumul aparut in decembrie a celor de la Solar Fields. :)


"Origin # 01, is the first chapter in a series of four albums which aim to present Solar Fields' music under a new light. The artist dived into his studio archives and discovered unreleased little gems. A simple idea came along to share with fans and followers this incursion into the life of a contemporary composer.

The tracks on Origin # 01 were created over the course of the last ten years.
At times we'll be tempted to give a date to the music composition because there's a specific feel to it which reminds us of a moment or of an album; at others we're thrown in the pure flow of inspiration and that is timeless.

Magnus Birgersson opens up the audio spectrum and spices up his music with guitars, bass, drums, balalaika, sitar; once again reminding us what a talented multi-instrumentalist he truly is.

Origin # 01, a multi-coloured archive made of ten genuine and intense songs.

Asura - 360 (2010)

Un release de psymbient foarte placut, de la Ultimae Records.

Cu tot respectul pentru Vibrasphere, Sync24, Carbon Based Liform, I Awake, nu prea am postat muzica formatiilor pe care ii reprezinta Ultimae.(singura exceptiea fiind Solar Fields).
Asa ca, mi-am propus sa adaug mai multe elemente de psy in maisonul de silence de aici :) Incepem cu Asura.



"Charles Farewell aka Asura opens two outstanding chapters in his musical odyssey with [ 360 ], a powerful cinematic downtempo album which captures and enhances the essence of the original Asura sound with its slow grooving rhythms, entrancing melodies, deep flowing pads and ethnic instrumentations.
This fourth album from Asura will stand as the coming out of Charles Farewell as an incredible composer of overlaping ambient genres, from ecstatic to chilled, groovy to uplifting, he offers the audience a wide open musical journey with finely chiselled orchestrations and a strong sense of space and timelessness.
Mostly instrumental, the album offers a sublime vocal introduction courtesy of Ayten and discreet voice overs from the artist."

Hidden Orchestra - Night Walks (2010)

Hidden Orchestra(in trecut cunoscuta ca Joe Acheson Quartet), ne invita intr-o calatorie in lumea tobelor vii si a basurilor adanci cu o deep influenta clasica si jazz.
O muzica de stil nou, insa care a pus accentul pe instrumentele traditionale.
Dupa parerea celor de la lastfm, muzica a fost influentata de asa trupe ca Aphex Twin, Debussy, Xploding Plastix, Radiohead, Squarepusher, Madlib и Gene Krupa.
Dupa parerea mea, "moodul" cel mai asemanator ti-l induc cei de la Emancipator :)

Pana atunci, ne satisfacem setea de massive si dubstep cu putinele mixuri cu adevarat bune.

Solar Fields - [Altered] Second Movements (2010)

Cred ca nu odata te-ai gandit la cat de mult se aseamana intre ele zilele de luni. Din pacate ele se caracterizeaza printr-un "ne_chillout" acut, sushneakuri, afterparty bad tripuri.. si alte senzatii ciudate :)

in schimb,exista totusi si un moment pozitiv in aceasta zi lipsita de gingasie

in necesitatea de a ne ascunde de praful auditiv si rapitorii carnivori deghizatzi in colegi de birou... descoperim muzica cu trasaturi inversproportionale zilei de azi... lounge.. psy ambient, chill :)

in una din inceputurile sptmnii din anul trecut am postat un album simpatic a celor de la Solar Field

Azi continuam cu cel mai recent album al trupei suedeze. ambient cu elemente profudne de psy.

un sarut devin pe creierele inflamate:)
