Eluvium "Talk Amongst the Trees" Album Review
Very good electronica/ambient album
I just discovered this artist and I am very pleased. This album consists of pleasant loops and sounds that form a gently hypnotic whole. The artist finds a groove and sets it loose while coloring it in various ways. Very tasteful stuff.
Video Me playing Eluvium - Prelude for Time Feelers + radio ballet
I remade it since I can do a bit better than the old one :] enjoy I know it's not perfect, I learned it by ear and not by sheet music and didn't actually learn the entire songs...Plus I never took piano lessons, so I can't play properly hence my hands moving oddly :P the strings in prelude were added after recording the piano. This video should be in sync unlike the old one, hopefully.. Go get Eluviums albums now :] These two tracks are on his newest, "Copia" and if you like the piano stuff, get "An Accidental Memory in the case of death" and for a wonderful ambient based album get "Talk amongst the trees." I'm in no way affiliated with him, I just would recommend his stuff :]

Brannan Lane "Lost Caverns of Thera" Album Review
Never judge a book by its cover.
Never judge a book by its cover - a true lesson when it came to giving serious consideration to reviewing this disc. The cover design is just plain busy and unnecessarily gothic, giving away too much before you get to experience the real treasures held inside! OK, that aside, I am pleased to have given this one a<br>comprehensive spin. Nashville's own Brannan Lane couldn't be further from the Grand Ole Opry on the mesmerizing Cavern 1 - Black Air. Multiple dark ambient layers are richly drenched in a continuous flow of multi-tracked fountains. Thera (a volcanic island also known as Santorini), as stated on the cd jacket, is the Greek word for fear, and realizing its somber embrace is Lane's task on this hour long player. We hear angelic swirls, deep tonal gongs reverberating and building with percussive resonance. Having been heard on the radio broadcast show<br>Music from the Hearts of Space, this sound sculptor seems rightly fitted for the task of creating atmosphere. If this were a film soundtrack we see 20 story high cavernous and icy hollows and are surrounded by mystical enchanted haunted kingdoms. This disc renders the listener passive and encircled by its space.<br>Cavern II - Ancient Art continues to build on the growing cinematic harmonies building an arsenal of sound. Spirits rise up high and converge in a twisting iridescence on the short and effective Death from Above. Bodies of water drip, spill and flood throughout this adventure, at times quite stimulating, at other times menacing. Sea In The Dark is like a winding vessel reminiscent of surveying an imaginary alter-world, Atlantis perhaps? The illusions run deep here. Lane's ability to capture stimulant and visionary atmosphere comes from his work in multiple genres, from Caribbean to Country, from Trance to Blues.<br>Some may say this provocative composer may be reaching too far. I can only hope he opts for creating more work in this mode. There are a lot of repetitive sound themes over the generous hour here, but Lane brings us into a trance-like state and then Into the Light. On this final track it is as though we have<br>channeled to the other side of a virtual landscape. We have been released from the mysterious magnetic pull and sail away with a galaxy of wildlife. This, my first exposure, to an artist with a dozen or so recordings in his name, was certainly worth the trip!<br>-- TJ Norris
Video BlackWater - a dark ambient journey for Halloween
At the end of October we celebrate Halloween, the lingering expression of the Celtic pagan festival that marked the final extinction of summer. It's a time when the dead were said to revisit the mortal world, and large communal bonfires were lit to ward off the dark spirits. Today it's devolved into a commercial event for the candy industry, with an unusually grim theme — while the fires, at least in California, are a fearsome, destructive presence. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we wander in the gloomy underworlds, ghostly chambers and haunted caverns, on a program called...BLACKWATER.

Moby "Hotel" Album Review
oh dear
Sorry to say, but this is one (well 2) expensive coasters.
I listened to it all the way through & was more than unthrilled.
The next time, I got as far as the diabolical cover version of New Order's Temptation & threw the discs in the bin.
Moby needs to go back to his punk roots & keep this rubbish to himself.
I had to give it a star or my review can't be submitted, but I can award a star for the cd case which is handy to replace any broken ones I might have.

Edgar Froese "Dalinetopia" Album Review
Enjoying this one quite a bit
Though this release is not completly free of over used chord progressions, and the typical melodic phrasings that made for a tiresome journey to the land of Ninties Tangerine Dream-- been there done that-- I'm ejoying this one quite a bit. It's the clean shimmering mix firstly. The drum tracks are nice, and coupled with nice electronic pulses. The melodies after a second listen begin to really become clear for the patient listener. There is quite a a gorgeouse soundscape created in Dalozapata, and the lush Dalamuerte. The intricate rythmic complexity of Daleroshima, and better Dalasquadore, make one want to buy a five hundred dollar pair of headphones. Dalaglore is chill, and Daluna is fierce!
Also, Edgar Froese is playing guitar on this album!! No stand ins, Finally. To my disappointment though he has lost his love for great lead runs like those we heard in "Three Bikes in The Sky," or the ending passages of "London."
Oh well. Instead he meanders a bit with a reliance on harmonics and tones, but it's ok because this cd is so effective and damned pretty! It really is. To me it is like Mars Polaris, with a little more focus, and consistency.
