-Moderator- I think "Space" should be added as a style of electronic music. This quote from AmbientMusicGuide explains it well. "But there are other kinds of visions expressed through electronic instruments that have also touched a nerve. The concept of spacemusic is one tied up inexorably with the synthesiser. In the late 1960’s terms like spacerock and cosmic rock were coined by listeners and reviewers to describe the atmospheric, electronic-laden music of progressive rock bands like the Floyd and Tangerine Dream. And this wasn't just the drugs talking. It is no coincidence that at the time of the first moon landing, the Floyd was transfixing audiences with pieces like “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun”. These bands were playing the soundtrack to a new era and the spacious, cosmic feel that purveyed much of their early work continues to inform a significant amount of ambient music to this day. In fact, I find spacemusic the most fascinating of all ambient sub-genres. Its a style of music that was first made possible in the 1960's by a new music technology that appeared at exactly the right historical moment: the decade that human beings first left the Earth. Somehow, electronic sound can evoke a cosmic mood with a depth rarely achieved in an acoustic setting. The late 60's music of Pink Floyd, for instance, achieves that mood far better than a weighty classical work like Gustav Holst's "The Planets", a symphony which isn't really about space at all. With the advent of the space age, it seems, has simultaneously come the perfect technology - synthesisers and electronics - for musicians to express their feelings about it. The implications have not been lost on Brian Eno. In the sleeve notes to his sublime album of electronic tone poems Apollo (1983) of his fascination with producing film music expressing a mixture of feelings that, until recently, had never before been experienced by humans." -In Collection- Ambient - Berlin School - IDM - Meditation - Minimalism - New Age - Post Rock - Smooth Jazz - Space - Space Rock - World -Have Some, But Need More- Acid - Chill - Drum and Bass - Dub - Ethereal - Exotica - House - Lounge - NuJazz - Space Age - Surf - Techno -Top Twenty- 01.

Stuart Dempster - 03-Dec-06 11:15 AM
Normally, when a person encounters a trombone, he or she would initially think of jazz or classical music. However, Stuart Dempster has revealed to us that this instrument has the ability to penetrate the soul through deep reverberations of undulating sounds. Whenever he sounds his horns, the vibrations cause the cells in your entire body to respond. His drones of standing waves ring in your ears then dissipate, but then they remain in your brain. Dynamic, yet non-aggressive, his music literally occupies the air and space around the listener. Again, the true masters remind us why we love music very much.
Manikin - 22-Oct-06 10:47 AM
This text was originally written by Mario Schönwälder.
The first idea was to release and distribute the own music and "some" releases from friends with a little independent label. The name is simple to explain. I sit in my "home" office and paint some "manikins" on the paper during a phone call. My little daughter comes and says (in German ;-): "Hey daddy, what a beautiful Manikin!". The philosophy is simple too. Every CD which is released on Manikin Records is "my own music". It´s a little bit of myself. First friends, which release CDs on Manikin are Dirk Jan Müller´s ELECTRIC ORANGE and Hardy Kukuk. In 1995 I got the great chance to release the first CDs from Klaus Schulze. From this time Manikin grows and grows. I cannot say which release was the best one or which is the highlight. Every release has something special.
Move D / Namlook - Move D / Namlook VIII - The Art Of Love - 19-Mar-06 03:31 PM
When the title track opens, we are slowly inundated with a soft, hypnotic rhythm. The sounds of a muted trumpet enter our ears like gleaming white lights too intense to look at. Just a few more minutes pass and we find ourselves completely immersed in this serene soundpool. We drown in liquid music as our bodies involuntarily move to the groove. Grooves like this have the potential to raise the dead and make them dance. We just don’t want it to end.
Giovanni Fibilini - Holiday - 16-Dec-05 08:22 AM
It’s Christmas Day! Giovanni Fibilini brings us a wonderful gift of joyous music. The music is overwhelmingly sensational, and can really make you feel good to be alive. When this song is first played, you’ll be amazed by the amount of energy put forth, and this song can be played over and over again. Worthy of it’s isolation on a full length disc, ‘Holiday’ attempts to turn back the clock and make the listener remember Christmas as he or she once did as a child. So, open all your curtains to let in as much light as possible, and sit back and relax with a nice warm cup of hot coco. I promise, you'll be delighted.
Atomu Shinzo - Act - 11-Dec-05 07:13 PM
Right of the back, even before your head has a chance to spin around, you get some guy goin', "CHECK OUT DA BASS, YALL!", electronic raking sounds, pumping driving rhythms, and oh, did I mention DA BASS? Still, Uwe Schmidt makes the stuff on this album listenable, and it could resemble a gateway drug which will turn you onto hardcore techno. But, brace yourself before you scale down to 'Track 23' or 'Jetlag' cause this is the kind of stuff a pounding headache is made of. Your gonna need some E just to ease the pain in your ears.
