Johnnytwentythree - JXXIII 2008-04-27 20:14:15 Artist:JohnnytwentythreeAlbum: JXXIIIYear: 2007Genre:Post-RockCountry:United StatesCincinnati quintet Johnnytwentythree are a band intent on taking cinematic instrumental music to the next level.. the shimmering guitars, the bombastic percussion and the orchestral grandeur are all present here...back to the glory days of post-rockHere’s another band that has been unjustly compared to Yndi Halda at some moment in their career. JXXXIII is a band that focuses a lot in the theatrical and epic side of music. So much that the guy that projects and films the movies shown in their live shows and album is a member of the band. Heck! Even the band’s debut was a soundtrack to one of his films! JXXIII’s music is big. The centerpieces of the album range from 13 to 20 minutes. The music’s guitar dominated just like Mono or Explosions in the Sky, but the feel of the album is grandiose and epic like buffed-up version of those bands mentioned. The violin also takes a dominant role and acts jus ...

Fairuz - Good Friday Eastern Sacred Songs 2008-04-26 03:20:41 Artist:FairuzAlbum: Good Friday Eastern Sacred SongsGenre:Arabic musica,Lebanese musicaYear:1992Country:LebanonBorn and educated in Beirut, Fairuz (Fayrouz, Fairouz) began her musical career as a chorus member at the Lebanese Radio Station. In the late 1950s her talent as a singer became fully acknowledged. Met with unprecedented enthusiasm, Fairuz's early songs featured the singer's distinct vocal timbre and lyrics expressing romantic love and nostalgia for village life. They meshed with a delicate orchestral blend in which certain Arab instruments figured prominently but which also subtly incorporated European instruments and European popular dance rythms.This album evokes the magical and serene setting of Good Friday as celebrated in the Eastern Church. Recorded live in Church during Easter (1962-1965). Fairuz's voice creates a meditative atmosphere. (Amazon.)Download :>Sharebeefrom SECRETA MUSICA,...posted by HAIL - ALXIMISTIS ...

Katabatic - Vago 2008-04-25 17:44:23 Artist:KatabaticAlbum: VagoYear: 2007Genre:Post Rock,Experimental,AmbientCountry:PortugalWedging itself somewhere between the explosive ambience of Jakob and the cutting experimentalism of Set Fire to Flames, Katabatic explore a distinctly otherwordly sound on Vago. Aside from the initial track, "03:17:00," which sees the band steadily building in intensity, Vago employs the method of aimless meandering followed by the construction of brief, unexpected walls of sound. These explosions are extremely rough and aggressive, yet they lack the punch we generally like to see. Most likely, this is a result of the muddied production; on one hand the low-budget approach creates a dense atmosphere which does the namesake well, but on the other, it also hides much of the subtlety in the compositions which inevitably take the edge off the more focused exchanges.As such, the majority of Vago comes off as gimmicky. It's taken Jakob years to hone its craft to a true art form, and without the artistic ...

Laura - Radio Swan Is Down 2008-04-25 17:27:53 Artist:LauraAlbum: Radio Swan Is DownYear: 2006Genre:Post Rock,ShoegazeCountry:AustraliaMelbourne post-rock six piece Laura have created an album that is incredibly diverse and varied, yet wonderfully structured and cohesive. Employing a wide range of textures and instruments, Laura have created one of the best post-rock releases of 2006!*****Reviews***** "Hailing from Melbourne, Laura are one of the few Australian post-rock bands who play in a style that can be easily compared to contemporaries such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Explosions in the Sky. On first examination, their music sounds like the midpoint of those two bands. Closer examination, however, reveals a greater depth to Laura's music and a much broader range of sounds. Laura employ a wide range of instruments on Radio Swan is Down; guitars, synthesisers, samplers, strings, male and female vocals, brass and various percussion instruments all make welcome appearances throughout the record. Released just over a year a ...

Lendi Vexer - The Process of Disillusion 2008-04-25 13:05:09 Year: 2007Genre:Trip-hop,experimentalBit rate:192 Kbps (Vbr)Country: ArgentinaAlready as a duo, from the year 2000, they went by the name of A.D.N AnyDayNow"(r) before arriving at the definitive name of Lêndi Vexer defined this way:Two impelled artists to spill out deep songs about having decided feelings and aspects of life, with intense lyrics, sometimes introspective, full of queries or retrospective with strong critics to human arrogance, the cruelty of the Christianity, the modern man's frivolity, etc...Always based on the reflexive aspect of the Down tempo and Trip hop with a hypnotic and orchestral tint, minimal and rough at moments, clearly distanced by the soft skin of the chill-out.The dirt and natural roughness of their sound is invoked with their old school equipment of triphop that they have gone on harvesting minutely from their beginnings.This environment acoustic-vintage is seconded by the electronics and reinforced with the different abilities in both components, as ...

Bury The Sound - Autumn Magnets 2008-04-24 18:49:51 Artist:Bury The SoundAlbum: Autumn MagnetsYear: 2007Genre:Post Rock,ShoegazeCountry:AustraliaThe Melbourne-based instrumental four piece create an emotionally charged musical landscape rich with possibility. Their sound is a compelling blend of lush guitars, delicate piano, melodic basslines and powerhouse drumming. Bury the Sound’s elegant, cinematic songs steadfastly refuse to follow the well-trodden path of hosts of instrumental bands, weaving a rich musical tapestry that draws as much upon ’70s legends Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd as it does from contemporary masters such as Do Make Say Think and Tortoise. ...wonderfully dynamic slabs of instrumental rock.. "God help me, I love swirling guitars. If all music had to somehow be wiped from the face of the Earth, keeping shoegaze with me would be enough to last a lifetime. There’s enough complexity beneath the vibrant sonic waves, hiding new pieces of songs yet unheard, to keep me fixated for years. Such is ...

The band plays gorgeously shimmering instrumental pieces much in the vein of bands like Mogwai and Explosions In The Sky. ...staggeringly beautiful epic imagery... *****Reviews***** "Grinding guitars crunch in a celestial manner, establishing a savage intensity that frequently betrays a peek of heaven. Confused? Don't be. This music achieves a euphoric state through the application of melodic brutality. Guitars blaze with molten fury, expressing chords of searing disposition. The result is so mesmerizing that it's breathlessly hypnotic. And exhausting too. Deafeningly passionate percussion rumbles beneath the layered guitars, providing a suitable locomotion for the grinding tuneage. At other times, the drumming adopts a lazy attitude ...

Dustin O'Halloran - Piano solos vol.2 2008-04-24 17:37:00 Artist:Dustin O'HalloranAlbum: Piano solos vol.2Year: 2006Genre:PianoCountry:United States,ItalyDustin O'Halloran is an acclaimed pianist, who has done work with Sara Lov for Devics and has also been featured on the soundtrack for the Sofia Coppola 2006 film Marie Antoinette.O’Halloran grew up as a classically trained pianist but after a relocation to live with his father, he parted from the instrument for over a decade before he would rediscover his passion. After meeting his now other half of the independent shoegazer band Devics, Sarah Lov was the inspiration he needed to begin playing again. Through writing music and playing with Lov, his focus within the LA-based group slowly turned towards the piano. With inspirations ranging from Beethoven and Chopin to Mogwai, he takes his eerily gorgeous music from the Devics and strips it down to the bones. The result is timeless beauty that is full of aching emotion. *****Reviews***** ".. The album is amazing in many respects and for O ...

He has been described as "the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music.Richard James says he crafts techno symphonies in his head while he sleeps, but judging from the unsettling nature of many of his songs, it appears he doesn't slumber too peacefully.Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol. II is the two-disc follow-up to the import-only Selected Ambient Works 85-92, the album that established the Cornwall, England, native as the pioneer of ambient techno, a musical style that converts the energized electrobeats and keyboard surges of dance-floor techno into slower, more tranquil sound washes. On Vol. II, James turns away from the glut of soulless techno by stripping away its base properties, focusing more intently on mood than on ...

The only other piece of information I know of Jonhannsson is his eclectic other group, Apparat Organ Quartet, is pretty friggin' good. However, if you like music in that vein, then this is not your ticket. This entire album sounds like a string quartet with synthetic overtones, making me believe Johannsson wrote the music, ...

HELIOS - Eingya 2008-04-22 15:05:35 Artist: HELIOSAlbum: EingyaYear: 2006Genre:Electronica,AmbientCountry:United StatesBoston multi-instrumentalist Keith Kenniff's second release under his Helios moniker is a soundtrack of molasses-sweet, midsummer sunset melancholy and pastoral mellifluence.Very underappreciated, extremely artistic album, I would reccommend it to anyone, regardless of what music you listen to.BEAUTIFUL! *****Reviews***** "You remember the tire swing that swayed gently from the outstretched arm of her grandmother's oak tree as you sat with her on a hill, on a blanket, calling forth the rapture of one of those endless late July twilights. What could once prolong childhood indefinitely was the promise of staying awake and wide-eyed late enough to glimpse the first night's star with her as it manifested itself far from the city lights.To the strains and slow guided charge of "Coast Off," you took her hand and both broke off into a gallop into the tall grass below, not so much as a spur of the moment act ...
