Madman of God ~ Sussan Deyhim
1 recommendation
"International goddess Sussan Deyhim took my breath away with her vocals on "Madman of God". As with her previous work Deyhim is incredibly generous in her performance, using breath, intensity, and trance inducing repetition while both merging and transcending both classical and contemporary composition. "Madman of God" is based on torch songs of classical Persian music, which might be the reason f..."
Morelenbaum Sakamoto Casa
1 recommendation
""Casa" is a wonderful take on the music of Jobim. Unncumbered and colorful "Casa" is created from the talent, and musical vision of Morelenbaum (2) and Ryuichi Sakamoto. "Casa" flows into floating melodies and breezy song, I'm taken away into that world every time."
Discord ~ Ryuichi Sakamoto
1 recommendation
"Yes I agree "Discord" redefines Ryuichi Sakamoto, and in my own selfish way I would also say that the Ryuichi Sakamoto music from "Discord" onward is the music I've been hoping to hear. "Discord" is a touchstone for a kind of alchemy that only a rare talent enters into, I'd describe it as Jazz abstraction, classical minimalism, or digital acoustic theory. What ever "Discord" might be classified as..."
Elephantism ~ Ryuichi Sakamoto
1 recommendation
""Elephantism" stands within the same ground as other Ryuichi Sakamoto from the late 1990's, melodic space, modern atmospheric soundscapes, bit's of field recordings and something very captivating to me--presence, the element which creates place and narrative within the mind of the listener."
Gifted: Women of the World ~ Various Artists
1 recommendation
"A well composed introduction to the expansive world of female voice featuring a stunning handful of artists who's craft (often so rich in classical training) pushes past conventional description. Note: A portion of the proceeds from album sales go to WITNESS, a group cofounded by Peter Gabriel that equips human rights advocates with modern technology such as video cameras to further their caus..."
insen ~ Alva Noto, Ryuichi Sakamoto
1 recommendation
"Nicolai works directly with the piano sounds, dismantling Sakamoto's recordings with "surgeon-like precision" into micro loops; into their atomic elements. Starting with these sound atoms, he creates a new basis for form, compressing, floating, and rotating rhythm with harmonic sequences and melodic counterpoints, and laying it underneath the piano tracks. This makes insen appear more complex, tho..."
Before and After Science ~ Brian Eno
1 recommendation
"Somehow at first listen the songs of "Before and After Science" felt like old favorites, some, perky, some quirky, some very relaxed like a fond memory of a perfect day."
NAM JUNE PAIK, Works 1958-1979
1 recommendation
"A Korean sound/video artist, Nam June Paik first piqued the world's attention through a trickle of tape recordings that were so rare they were soon mentioned in hushed tones and changed hands for daft money. Fast forward to now and the friendly folk at Sub Rosa have decided to re-release this collection of work from Paik, all of which was recorded between 1958 and 1979 and lurches from the avant t..."
Bowmboi: Rokia Traore
1 recommendation
"Often lovely, often soulful, often played, one of my secret pleasure."
Love Cannot Bear: Soundscapes Live In The USA ~ Robert Fripp
1 recommendation
"A collection of beautiful moments from Fripp's live Soundscapes concerts."
Radiophonics: 1995 Soundscapes, Vol. 1 ~ Robert Fripp
1 recommendation
"Robert Fripp's "Radiophnics" is rich with subtle atmosphere, I've had this album on for days at a time, never wanting it to end."
