[2012] Fastfall Soundtrack [Dustforce] ''FLAC

Fastfall

You don't need to be a fan of videogame soundtracks to appreciate the chill, electronic beats in this album.

The videogame this is associated with is one that requires extreme precision, concentration, and perfection (lots of failure) of the player. Normally, one would immediately think "frustrating", but this soundtrack keeps frustrations to a minimum and I find myself going back to this album for real world tasks, like when I'm at work, on the road, exercising, or undertaking tasks that otherwise challenge me. It's very cathartic.

Genre : Electronic, Game Soundtrack.

[1999] Underworld - Beacoup Fish (FLAC)

Underworld had really made a name for themselves after two critically acclaimed albums Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest in the Infants and they had continued the trend with their third album Beaucoup Fish.

This was the last studio album to feature Darren Emerson before he left the group to pursue a solo career, but he made sure that he was going out with a bang on this album.

I describe Dubnobasswithmyheadman as a fun pop record and Second Toughest in the Infants as an emotionally driving record. I like to describe Beaucoup Fish as a head-banging record.

[2002] Nuspirit Helsinki [Nuspirit Helsinki] ''FLAC''

Nuspirit Helsinki

Nuspirit Helsinki is a collection of Finnish musicans, producers and DJ's, spearheaded by Tuomas Kallio and Hannu Nieminen. I've been a fan of theirs ever since I heard "Seis por Ocho" on an old Brazilectro album. Then when I found the album stateside quite some time ago, I had to take a chance and pick it up.

How to describe their sound? They go in and out of styles - sometimes they'll have some pretty smooth soul as is the case of the opening track "Honest" or the third track, "Trying". "Trying" stands out a bit as it features Lisa Shaw on vocals - she's put out some good smooth house 12" with Naked Music. "Subzero" is another good song that shows what happens with the collection of musical talents and producers. You've got nu-jazz and electronica beautifully melded together. And that's only the first three songs. When you hear "Seis Por Ocho", you're taken to a pretty live and festive sounding track that's got an amazing level of... cool energy. Other tracks I liked were "Circular", Montana Roja and "Skydive". Meanwhile "Orson" is a stand-out that sort of tricks you in the beginning before pulling you in. Good stuff.

I recommend this. I've enjoyed it and it fits in perfectly in the collection. I guess the natural recommendation if you like this is to check out works by fellow Scandinavians "Koop"; if you like this you'll definitley like Koop's "Waltz for Koop". In fact you may like works by Jazzanova and other Compost artists like Beanfield, Kyoto Jazz Massive or Rainer Truby too. At any rate, it's an album I enjoyed.

Genre : Acid Jazz.

[1976] Mother Earth's Plantasia [Mort Garson] ''FLAC Vinyl Rip''

Mother Earth's Plantasia

Absolutely amazing album. It’s soothing, thought provoking and genuinely magical. I’d describe listening to Plantasia to be like going on a journey to a fantasy land, where everything is as perfect as can be.

Genre : Ambient, Electronic.

[1987] Prince - Sign “☮” the Times (FLAC)

If you’re ever sat at home and suddenly you think to yourself “You know what? I’m going to become a Prince fan but I don’t know where to start.” This album is the answer to that question, this is by far the greatest Prince album out there, every song on here is a classic. Sex, relationships, partying and politics are all drawn together into one genius double album of classics. Favourite songs for me are Sign o the times, Strange relationship, If I was your girlfriend and Slow love. Slow love especially seems to be a very under appreciated and little known song but it is one of Princes most beautiful jazzy ballads.

[2004] Don't Look Now [Way Out West] ''FLAC''

Don't Look Now

I bet there are a few of us out there who are secretly inlove with the second half of this album. Yes, the fist disc is all original Way Out West material, fresh and clear, and as much as I try to see the higher meanings of the A side, the B is so much more romantic and explorative.

There is a lot of that Warrens' honesty in this music. That tasteful, lush and still very free sound that can bring together millions is definitely here. If I would to describe the music of the B side, it is: very melodic, groovy house, bright, light-in-sound percussion, very diverse, and yet all the tracks work in that magical special way that gives us the feeling ; D It reminds me a lot of the Renaissance: Revelations release, so if you know what I'm talking about, then you know that maybe this isn't such a waste of your time.

Genre : Electronic, House, Trance.

[2001] Intensify [Way Out West] ''FLAC''

Intensify

When I first got Way Out West's "Don't Look Now" I was disturbed by the overall feminine touch, though it grew on me quickly and I discovered the album's inner greatness. On this release, I was more instantly gratified. Though the feminine touch is still present on a couple of tracks, the overall album is more upbeat and hard-hitting in comparison. The sounds are fine-tuned and hi-tech, with lots of fluid and well-layered production. Every now and then a piano or exotic flute shines through for an ethereal moment. Great Album... especially "Sharkhunt," "Secret," "Mindcircus" and "Activity". Fans of Hybrid, Sandra Collins, Deepsky, etc. won't be disappointed

Genre : Electronic, Trance.

[2017] Persona 5 Soundtrack [Shoji Meguro & Toshiki Konishi] ''FLAC''

Persona 5

An amazing assortment of musical pieces that are unique, well composed and memorable. The jazzy influence makes for a new sound in the Persona franchise, and it fits the theme of the game very well.

With over 100 tracks there is some variation in style, which is to be expected of a soundtrack that covers so many moods. It has moody pieces, exciting ones and quirky 8bit tracks all in one package.

I really love the jazzy vocal bits, even if the singer's English isn't so strong at times. I can't understand some of the words without a lot of thought, but it doesn't distract from the overall tone or direction. There are several tracks in this collection I will be listening to for years.

Genre : Acid Jazz, Game Soundtrack, Rock, Electronic.
