In my first post I will recommend you all to check out the following release available for free from our friends over at Ektoplazm:
This album has brought me much joy since it was released mid December. Every song has a different tempo and a different rhytm, the artist Klaus Balzarek apparently blending a lot of different influences. To describe it as a downtempo album would be wrong, especially since many of the songs are made with a pretty fast beat. However, when listening to this album I still get the feeling that the artist wants his audience to listen and relax rather than to kick it on the dancefloor. My favourites are:
2. Hushushush - a gentle breath of air which allows the listener to slowly float inwards, despite the fast beat
6. Aquarius - with a driven baseline and rhythmic didgeridoo takes the listener on a more of a tribal journey
7. Grau N - reminding me somewhat of older songs made by B.Ashra & Ricky Deadking - especially their Live At U-Site Fusion album. A fast beat and some nice blend of electronic and acoustic
8. Out Is In - the final track with some initial chanting, takes a turn into a more mellow chill-song but with a very nice scale of tones, given a nice overall feel
