[2013] Cafe Del Mar Jazz I ''FLAC''

Cafe Del Mar Jazz


Cafe Del Marr Jazz maintains the reputation the Cafe Del Mar series has as a leader in chilled out, late evening, cocktails at sunset-type music. Here we have a jazzy twist on the theme. The vibe stays generally mellow but still throws in plenty of beat and percussion along with some gentle funk here and there, an occasional 50's feel, Enigma-type whisperings and quirky voiceovers - in other words plenty of variation and mood without straying too far from the dreamy feel-good laidback vibe Cafe del Mar is known. (Check out The Starseeds "Parallel LIfe" as a good example).

There are lots of moods represented here. Kraak and Smaak's Danse Macabre is a kind of Mobyesque take on jazz with repeated slightly disembodied vocals appearing amongst the instrumentation. The piano tinkles away on Montel La Rue's Adeus, followed by the lush Bossa Nova/orchestral rhythms of La Perla Noir's Inverno A Capri. Julien Sabre's Swimming Places completes the album and after a smouldering start erupts into a nice long piece of (almost) disco jazz. Fantastic.

Genre : Ambient, ChillOut, Electronic, Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Downtempo.

[2001] Silent Hill 2 [Akira Yamaoka] ''FLAC''

Silent Hill 2


This soundtrack may be the single greatest collection of music ever devised by humans. Your life without having listened to this CD is meaningless. Each song is expertly and finely crafted art transcending any sort of specific genre style; songs so amazing you will eargasm in public creating an awkward situation between you and the bag lady at Walmart. He creates these songs out of happy thoughts, magic, and the souls of a thousand bigfoots. Don't try to understand how this level of amazingness is possible, but I assure you sir or ma'am, it is possible. If this CD was somehow personified it would be a creature worth its weight in metric, nuclear powered, Chuck Norris beards.

The soundtracks Akira writes are somehow better than the bestselling games. Without his music, the games would lose all integrity and sense of depth. Also, if this music hadn't been written, there would be nothing keeping the ghosts of a thousand crickets trying to enter your mind at bay.

Genre : Dark Ambient, Game Ost, Horror Music.

[1999] Bocanada [Gustavo Cerati] ''FLAC''

Bocanada


Cerati is a genius, this album should be the best album of 99. No american band or songwriter can match to cerati"s talent right now. It saddens me to know that bands with no talent get the chance to be exposed just because they play whatever is popular. And here you have probably one of the best albums ever, and not one single american knows about it!

Genre : Electronic Rock, Alternative Rock, Electronic, Art Rock, Experimental Rock.

[2004] Codename Dustsucker [Bark Psychosis] ''FLAC''

Codename Dustsucker


I have been listening to Hex for almost 2 years now, and I've never gotten sick of it. The sounds that Bark Psychosis create were something new back then...and as my tastes have changed I've stuck with Psychosis Barking's more steadily than almost everything else in my collection.This is an expansion of their sounds, but not diluted, not refined, just a widening of an already grand vision. I love this. Like Mogwai except more inventive, like the best of Low except with a wider palatte, the most sublime of electronic acts. It's the 90's, but its palatable. Beside their pure mastery of tone, mood and texture, their greatest feat is their play of structure. Imagine Tool, except they love your ears, they want to express their angst by creating a world you want to live in and never leave. Yo La Tengo meets Bladerunner. It is an emotional experience. Whatever it is, ambient, postrock, I never tire of it. I'm going to get my hands on everything else they've done as soon as possible!

Genre : Post-Rock
