Fennesz Sakamoto - Cendre
First to recommend
Description
Cendre was recorded between 2004 and 2006 in New York City by Ryuichi Sakamoto and in Vienna by Christian Fennesz. They came together for the mix in New York City in February of that year. Fennesz would send Sakamoto a guitar or electronic track and Sakamoto would compose his piano piece. This process was also reversed - Sakamoto initiating the track with a piano composition and Fennesz responding. Meanwhile they met for live shows, or communicated via digital means to compare notes, swop ideas and develop themes... And the cyclical process continued right up until the final mix.
Ryuichi Sakamoto and Christian Fennesz blend the unstructured and imaginative qualities of improvisation with the satisfying sculpture of composition. Sakamoto's piano, his style reminiscent of Debussy and Satie, perfectly complements Fennesz with his powerful blend of shimmering guitar and passionate electronics.
Together they have combined to create 11 tracks of satisfying and challenging possibilities...

Bloom App - Brian Eno, Peter Chilvers
First to recommend
Description
Developed by ambient pioneer Brian Eno and musician/software designer Peter Chilvers, Bloom explores uncharted territory in the realm of applications for the iPhone and iPod touch. Part instrument, part composition and part artwork, Bloom’s innovative controls allow anyone to create elaborate patterns and unique melodies by simply tapping the screen. A generative music player takes over when Bloom is left idle, creating an infinite selection of compositions and their accompanying visualisations.

Buddha Machine I rocked my world with it's ambient music loops disguised as a transistor radio. Buddha Machine II is even more amazing now that it has more loops and an on board pitch bender. (via Amoeba Music)

Aural
First to recommend
Description
Aural is a band from Mexicali, Baja California (Northernmost Mexico). Born in 1996 after “Fieles Difuntos” (Ernesto Vivo’s Avant Pop band from Mexicali) split up. In that same year, Karla Garduño joins the band as lead singer, and it’s in those days that Aural’s first songs see the light. I've been listening for music like this for some time.

The Brooke (a tiny ocean)
First to recommend
Description
The Brooke has that lilting fragrance that I occasionally hear on radio while driving, you know, how it is, a spacial sound finally comes on that favorite collage station, you cant wait for the DJ to tell you who it was, and it's an hour later after announcing everything but the track names when the DJ finally says something cryptic like "...oh and there was a cover of "Little Red Riding Hood in there by The Brook, downloaded from the internet..."!!?
The Brooke is that sort of thing. I'm happy to have found her-- Cheerios and Good Tidings to you all, and to all a Good Night.

Tibet Tibet: Yungchen Lhamo
First to recommend
Description
Tibetan musicians who can appeal well beyond the realm of strictly devotional music are scarce. So Yungchen Lhamo's wavering voice is especially startling on Tibet, Tibet, where she unwraps her mid-range vocal roll across wide-open fields. She also sings through the low-end fog of monastic chanting, replete with the clanging cymbals and fundamental rumble. An astonishing smoothness arises from Yungchen and the monks' combined voices, and even when she's soloing, which she often is, Yungchen keeps herself both silken and sharp. Many of the songs on Tibet, Tibet are from the traditional repertoire, but Yungchen's voice broadens the genre just as Enya broadened Celtic music to a popular audience. A laborer until she escaped from Tibet under duress, Yungchen has studied at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts and supports a foundation in her name that seeks to aid women in escaping human rights abuses.

Music to Fall Asleep ~ Klimek

Description
Klimek's "Music to Fall Asleep" works for me, and yes the cover photo which brings to mind Jean Cocteau's "Orpheus" and Lewis Carroll's Alice in "Through the Looking Glass" is a pleasure beyond words. (via Amoeba Music)

The Disintegration Loops I: WILLIAM BASINSKI
First to recommend
Description
William Basinski's "Disintegration Loops" is comprised of elegantly beautiful orchestral tape loops that he had recorded in the mid-'80s but as the tapes were being transferred to a digital master, the analogue spool began to disintegrate which ended up further enhancing the already spectral quality of the music. The music uncannily transcends time as the loops swell and fray into seeming infinity.
