Secede - Tryshasla - 17-Oct-05 10:55 AM
Tryshasla is the second release from the newly founded Sending Orbs label, and what a release it is... I think this is one of the only albums where I love every track. From the beginning of the beautiful opener Hospital Requiem right to the end of We No Longer Need Ourselves, youre plunged into an ambient journey through a magical and colourful world. This album isnt just another electronic piece of music, the songs just breathe life and the melodies sound extremely organic.
Throughout the album, you follow the story of a dying man who - in his dream - makes a last journey to a mysterious land called Sanda. This tale is being told with only the help of the music and the sounds Secede captured out in the country, so there remains much room for imagination.
Also the gorgeous artwork in the booklet deserves to be mentioned. Being painted by Jeroen Advocaat, it brings to life the world of Sanda in 6 different magnificent paintings. Sending Orbs doesnt only care for the music, but also makes the package a real piece of art.

Dont let this album pass if youre into ambient, you wont regret it! Easily one of the best releases of 2005.

Aphex Twin - ...I Care Because You Do - 16-Oct-05 08:50 AM
Together with SAW, this is RDJs most consistent album up to date. After this he continued making excellent and progressive music, but it did lose some of the magic you can hear on the previous mentioned albums. All in all one of Aphex Twins finest moments. Each song on this release has a unique style/composition/..., whereas his later albums often contain some less ingenious tracks to fill the cd. Must have.

Boards Of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country - 14-Oct-05 08:45 PM
For me Amo Bishop Roden is the highlight of this EP, it can easily compete with Everything You Do Is A Balloon, Turquoise Hexagon Sun, etc. All four songs are really great though; low quantity, high quality.

Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children - 14-Oct-05 08:45 PM
This really is BOCs masterpiece. With the exception of track 14, each song is perfectly crafted as to create the albums main mood, which is melancholical. The addition of Happy Cycling at the end of the album makes this brilliant release even better.
