Go on a trip to Tibet...

Posted : 2 years, 5 months ago on 19 June 2007 01:12 (A review of Cho Oyu 8201m: Field Recordings from Tibet)

This is a different kind of CD from Geir Jenssen (biosphere). No real music, just the sounds recorded around him as he trekked up a mountain in Tibet, mixed into a collection of tracks.

This is similar to the albums by Aaron Ximm (Quiet American) and you can just lose yourself as you hear trucks rattle past, radio snippets faded in and out his fellow climbers rest on oxygen.

Wonderful electronic music...

This is a great, timeless, album that you can enjoy loud in the car or just in the background. I'd recommend Saul Stokes to anyone with an interest in electronic music.

New Eluvium CD...

Posted : 2 years, 11 months ago on 7 December 2006 06:48 (A review of When I Live by the Garden and the Sea)

This new release is more of an EP but it's well worth getting a copy. The tracks are well-formed and drift through together.

No beats to speak of, just pleasant warm tones conjuring a sense of place. Most welcome on these cold Ohio days in December.
