Alidan

Alidan meets Jean Michel Jarre

Sparkle synths, twinkles among bright pads and atmospheric air drones. Chill tempo and rhythm, pretty enough to get you relaxed. I consume the music more like conceptual, there are some ideological content behind all, like exploration of all cosmic sounds. Undoubtedly, I liken it to Jean Michel Jarre's stuff and maybe some sorts of Vangelis and Yanni. The music is build mostly on synths and electronic background, conductived to create space feeling and eternal emotion. What I mostly dislike is the old sounding, which brings me more back to the begining of the electronic music than to its advanced progress nowadays. Atuallt nothing new and original here, typical long melodies, developed slowly and softly with cosmic effect. Definitely I imagine the space and its infinity, as though the time is stopped and there is only one unique life. I recommend more variety and some experimental approaches to escape form this sedentariness. Despite that it was pleasant to remmeber some nice moments from the past with your music

Yeshe Dorje

Yeshe Dorge welcome us to a long journey

The music of Yeshe Dorge can be described as a mellow, meditational, trully conceptual and spiritual. Most of the tracks plays more than 10 min, which speaks for one long journey into his world of calmness, where you feel like the time is stopped. What most catch here is the quality of the music, that moves the listener into another frame of mind. The progress of each composition is enough slow to keep your spirit in meditation. by other hand, it seems the listeners who loves the variation in harmony will not much enjoy the music, as it is primary conceptual and not for the short masses. The miss of rich instrumentation and composition melodies, will probably dislike someone. Anyway I think that every music has it's own destiny and place in our planet and I liked what I hear. Thank you for sharing.

Peter Buffett

What a modern sounding..

The new album of Peter Buffett sounds very engaging, I can only regret that there are only 4 tracks cuts uploaded here. It seems like he mixed very well the modern and contemporary sounding with his laidback vocals and the result is extremely melodic and catching. I can feel many genres in his music, especially I like the alternative temper, that music brings out. It's hard to define the music in New Age category, but I perceive the manner that everything changes. My favourite track here is "Where Are You Right Now".

Catherine Duc

Fresh & groove

Catherine Duc comming from Australia, composes great fresh music with groove rhythm and mellow strings and orchestra. High quality sound with clear picture, good mix and deep spatiality. The lovers of Enya's voice will enjoy this music, too. Although in the both songs I heard the vocals are just "the salt and pepper" of the compositions. Mostly is emphasized on sounds, beats, the atmosphere create by ethnic & mystic instruments. Quite remember me of Deep Forest. Gorgeous ambience between all relaxed melodies, tribal rhythm and absorbed orchestra in background. I presume that the whole your debute album will be in such flavour, which makes me intrigued to look around to purchase it. Favourite piece is "Essence of Dreams". Keep going in this tempo...

Kopi Luwak Music

Kopi creates one better world

The music of Kopi is very spiritual, embroidered with mysticism, sacred feeling, airness, chanting vocals and groove beats. He creates one world, where all nations have their own place, represented by root and cultural approaches blended in music, as though you are part of this blessed world. The fans of Oliver Shanti, Shiller and Deep Forest will love Kopi's music, as they will find pieces and shades from known styles. Although the monotone structure of the most songs, still I can catch the chilling effect and I am trully addcited to this amazing art of music. My favourite tracks here are "The Book Of The Wind" & "The Book Of The Ground" - great vibe, mystic and fantasy elements, it's like a story to some magnificent journey into unknown forests. Highly RECOMMEND for listening...
