Sometimes Anton Lukoyanychev - another founder of STM - joins him, but it happens very occasionally lately. Alex has released 3 albums, more than ten virtual singles and featured all Sutemos compilations and now he present yet one more impressive part of his musical session - fourth album of Sleepy Town Manufacture Inspired By You.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked about it Alex answered: "Well, it's a nice album. We worked on it quite a lot and some tracks really took more time than they should have. But finally here it is. You'll also find some songs which is not a common thing for us and I hope it will not scare our listeners".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I would love to give some credits for the people who appeared in those tracks: Inna Nega - she sings in three songs, Komnata, O Nei and Long Time No See. Lyrics and melody - it's all hers. She's beautiful and I really want to thank her. Alex Kozmidi - he is playing guitar in Papa Miles track. Actually, it is his composition which he's playing live in Germany pretty frequently. Evgeniy Gagarin - he sings in So Soft. I recorded this song three years ago, but lately decided that my voice is not good for it so I asked Evgeniy to sing this one" - Alex continued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sleepy Town Manufacture - "O Nei"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eQ_Ha1Wia4E&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eQ_Ha1Wia4E&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sleepy Town Manufacture (Live Act)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J-umsPLqScM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J-umsPLqScM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-8534755004533856456?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/8534755004533856456/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=8534755004533856456&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/8534755004533856456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/8534755004533856456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2008/08/sleepy-town-manufacture-idm-from-russia.html' title='Sleepy Town Manufacture...

A boa recepção do álbum, principalmente em França e graças ao seu som melancólico e atmosférico, consegue-lhe um contrato com a editora Mole Listening Pearls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Após uma pequena paragem para se dedicar aos projectos paralelos Orbis e Pangaea, lança o seu segundo álbum, primeiro na Mole, denominado “&lt;strong&gt;Lumiére Obscure&lt;/strong&gt;”, em 1999,trabalho este que recebe bastante atenção por parte da crítica, impulsionado pelo single de apresentação “Comme Toujours”, tema este que se tornou rapidamente num sucesso nos clubes nocturnos alemães.&lt;br /&gt;Apesar de já apresentar uma grande evolução direccionada para atmosferas melódicas ligadas ao downtempo e ao downbeat, este trabalho reflecte ainda as influências da sua formação inicial em bateria, nomeadamente no recurso à utilização de batidas ainda um pouco rápidas para o género.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na Primavera de 2000 assiste-se à edição do álbum “&lt;strong&gt;Voyage au Centre de la Terre&lt;/strong&gt;” onde Voss desenvolve com mais consistência o seu estilo próprio de downtempo atmosférico baseado em ritmos de influência vincadamente drum’n’bass.&lt;br /&gt;Este trabalho representa mais um passo no crescimento e na consolidação das sonoridades características de Lemongrass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sem tempo para reagir às críticas positivas e à crescente atenção a que passou a estar sujeito, Voss inicia a produção do seu quarto álbum, “&lt;strong&gt;Windows&lt;/strong&gt;”, lançado em Fevereiro de 2001, e que surpreende o meio musical quer pela rapidez, quer quantidade, dos trabalhos produzidos… qualidades claramente opostas às batidas lentas e melodias melancólicas que Voss produz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logo após a edição de “Windows”, inicia-se na Primavera de 2001, o processo de criação do álbum “&lt;strong&gt;Solar Incense&lt;/strong&gt;”, lançado em 2002 e cuja criação se baseou bastante na voz e na participação de Skadi, uma vocalista de Hamburgo, que trouxe uma nova dimensão às produções de Voss.&lt;br /&gt;Infelizmente, este álbum apenas teve edição no Japão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Março de 2003, sai o álbum “&lt;strong&gt;Skydiver&lt;/strong&gt;”, outra excelente produção com influências atmosféricas baseadas no universo downbeat, trip-hop e drum’n’bass, já característico.&lt;br /&gt;Este é um dos meus trabalhos favoritos desde projecto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O álbum “&lt;strong&gt;Fleur Solaire&lt;/strong&gt;”, editado em 2004, baseia-se nos mesmos elementos dos trabalhos anteriores (trip-hop e drum’n’bass) e que são a base de partida nas produções de Voss, acrescentando uma atmosfera lounge que nos transporta em sonhos ao que seria o verdadeiro mundo da musica.&lt;br /&gt;Sem dúvida nenhuma o melhor álbum deste projecto e o atingir da maioridade de Voss na produção de ambientes atmosféricos de base electrónica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No final de 2004, é lançado o álbum best of “&lt;strong&gt;Time Tunnel&lt;/strong&gt;”, que resulta numa fantástica retrospectiva de toda a sua evolução como produtor de downtempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ikebana: Arte tradicional Japonesa de arranjos florais e que requer dedicação, imaginação e amor pelo material de base. Tem como objectivo final a harmonia da forma, ritmo e cor.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guiado por estes princípios Lemongrass edita, em 2005, o álbum “&lt;strong&gt;Ikebana&lt;/strong&gt;” e este trabalho abre uma nova era na forma de expressão musical deste projecto tendo como base diversos elementos e estilos musicais, desde a pop e o disco da década de 70, passando pelo house e pelos breakbeats Franceses, até às baladas e aos ambientes orquestrais e ambientais, tudo isto pincelado por excelentes vocalizações de cantoras japonesas.&lt;br /&gt;Uma derivação da sonoridade Lemongrass e uma possível indicação de um novo rumo a tomar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em 2006 e 2007, e cumprindo o ritmo de produção/edição de um álbum por ano, Voss edita um novo trabalho, de nome “&lt;strong&gt;Spa Sessions: Lounging&lt;/strong&gt;” e "&lt;strong&gt;Filmotheque&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;Recentemente Voss regressou com mais um album, de nome "&lt;strong&gt;Pour l'Amour"&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Espero num próximo post poder comentar estes três ultimos albuns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para quem gosta das sonoridades downtempo penso que este projecto representa o que de melhor se tem feito nos últimos anos…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discografia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- “Drumatic Universe” (1998)&lt;br /&gt;- “Lumiere Obscure” (1999)&lt;br /&gt;- “Voyage au Centre de la Terre (2000)&lt;br /&gt;- “Windows (2001)&lt;br /&gt;- “Solar Incense (2002)&lt;br /&gt;- “Skydiver (2003)&lt;br /&gt;- “Fleur Solaire (2004)&lt;br /&gt;- “Time Tunnel” (2004)&lt;br /&gt;- “Ikebana“ (2005)&lt;br /&gt;- “Spa Sessions: Lounging” (2006) &lt;br /&gt;- "Filmotheque" (2007)&lt;br /&gt;- "Pour l'Amour" (2008)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lemongrass -

Sunshine. Balmy weather.&lt;br /&gt;Mellow moments. Quiet beauty.&lt;br /&gt;Lazy afternoons. Breezy sunsets.&lt;br /&gt;Sultry nights.&lt;br /&gt;The good life…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the lounge experience as soundtracked by, Antwerp-based producer and DJ, Sven Van Hees (aka Ramon Serrano).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Born in May 1968, that truly remarkable month that was the apotheosis of the '60's when French students almost succeeded in toppling over an atrophied and authoritarian government, Van Hees cannot help but being a revolutionary and an innovator. But hey, this rebel comes in the guise of an emotive latin lover, flashing a seductive smile and sporting a thin moustache.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting out at the tender age of 15 when he hosted a jazz funk radio show for a local Antwerp station, Van Hees followed up with the popular Liaisons Dangereuses radio show, which ran for ten years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the strength of this outlet, he was invited to record for local labels like USA Import, Wonka and Atom/Elektron. When the track 'Oempa Loempa' by Aquastep (on Wonka Records) turned into one of Western-Europe's most popular club anthems of 1992, Belgian top-label R&amp;S invited Van Hees to record for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Piano Power' by Remy &amp;amp; Sven (a collaboration with Dutch DJ Remy Unger) kickstarted R&amp;S subsidiary Global Custs and has achieved classic status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signing to Arcade/Trust Foundation in Holland in 1996, Van Hees released his debut album, "&lt;strong&gt;Svengali&lt;/strong&gt;", that same year. It proved to be a multifarious affair of club grooves and lounge moods, highly original and quietly advanced. Two singles, 'Freakysthan' and 'Neighbours', both highly sought-after (but hard-to-find due to Trust folding upon the release of the latter track), attested to Van Hees' unique perception of dance culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he released his "&lt;strong&gt;Gemini&lt;/strong&gt;" album in the late summer of 1999, the burgeoning lounge scene could very well use a central focal point to help the nascent style crossover to its potential audience. And "Gemini" did exactly that. It thrilled its many buyers worldwide and woke the media up to the simple fact that there's life after clubbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Gemini" melds light jazz and bossa nova influences with laid-back beats and a startling array of instruments to create a vibe perfect for a lazy day on the beach or a quiet evening at the local velvet-roped lounge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contradicting its name, "Tsunami (Inside My Soul)" features gently lapping waves over standup bass and a sultry horn riff. Even the wistful spoken thoughts, possibly stolen from a young film student's first short, can't poison this subliminal groove. "Flute Salad" and "Islamorada Fishing Company" would fit nicely into a Thievery Corporation or Kruder &amp;amp; Dorfmeister mix. "Serrano Anthem (Amor/Amor)" approaches erotica, as the interplay between various sounds seems to bring a woman to a sort of spiritual orgasm. Van Hees instills his music with longing and (sometimes overt) sexuality. To these ends, attempts to be lyrically deep or clever sometimes come off as merely amateurish. But this minor shortcoming should be quickly overlooked. Gemini is much more about mood than message, and the mood will carry the listener away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;Calypso&lt;/strong&gt;" is third album is the work of a subdued master. It's totally true to his nature and, although the album acknowledges '70s fusion icons like Quincy Jones and Lonnie Liston Smith, it creates a world completely its own - a singular dreamscape for all of us to wallow around in. Centered around the groove, "Calypso"'s eleven tracks take up the Sven Van Hees story were "Gemini" left it, creating a much-needed private space of leisure and introspection, of inner peace and enticing pleasure. It's like God's very own calypso band has sneaked out of heaven - for five minutes at least - and turned up in Antwerp, in Sven's sampler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the summer os 2005 he released his fourth album "&lt;strong&gt;Synesthesia&lt;/strong&gt;" the most intimate view inside this producer's head so far. All eleven tracks have their own "colour", painting a complete picture of a near 64 minutes in audio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also the first that includes guest performances and vocal tracks. Two tracks, the great summery housegrooves (or soulful house) and singles "The sun goes down" and "Eneas", were written and sung by Dutch vocalist/mc Lex Empress. Having met 10 years before in Antwerp they lost sight of each other until early 2003, they got booked together again, and enjoyed two hours of "musical-bliss", Sven dj'ing whilst Lex was singing on top of his records.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also "Amish gansta rappin" features rhymes from a US rapper that prefers to stay anonymous, and could easily have featured on a Massive Attack album. Belgians finest musicians, Bart Van Huyck(guitar), Johan Vandendriessche (sax, flute), Paul Flush (Hammond, Fender Rhodes) and Peter Schneider (percussion) members of his former "Svengali squad", add the cherry on this delicious cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sven Van Hees currently deejays lounge (jazz, latin, soul, brazil) and house sets and plays live with 'The Svengali Squad' (Dancefusion with jazz, funk and soul - members are Sven Van Hees - beatmaster / Johan Vandendriessche multi-instrumentalist already worked with Toots Thielemans, Wim Mertens and Marc Moulin / Paul Flush - pianist, Hammondist, Fender Rhodes-ist, from Newcastle.

Deste álbum, destaco os temas “LFO”, “Freeze” (para mim um dos melhores temas que a musica electrónica produziu) e “We are back” (intimamente ligado ao minimalismo electrónico do início dos anos 80 proposto pelos Kraftwerk).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O segundo álbum desta dupla, denominado “&lt;strong&gt;Advance&lt;/strong&gt;”, só saiu em &lt;strong&gt;1995&lt;/strong&gt; e consolidou a capacidade criativa deste duo, sempre baseada no experimentalismo electrónico, mas com uma orientação mais definida e abandonando um pouco as atmosferas contemplativas e a mecanicidade do álbum anterior. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;De audição obrigatória os temas: “Advantage”, “Goodnight Vienna” e “Tied up”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apesar de aclamados pela crítica, os LFO entraram numa crise de “meia idade” fazendo com que Bell virasse as suas atenções para a produção do álbum “Homogenic” de Björk e “Exciter” dos Depeche Mode e que Varley se concentrasse na sua carreira a solo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surge em &lt;strong&gt;2003&lt;/strong&gt; o seu último trabalho “&lt;strong&gt;Sheath&lt;/strong&gt;”, um trabalho a solo de Bell e mais uma prova de que é um dos melhores produtores britânicos da actualidade. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Baseado num som mais cru e menos trabalhado, ainda mantém algumas bases de experimentalismo, basta ouvir o tema"Freak", mas longe da criatividade de outros tempos… para quem acha , como eu, que “Frequencies” é do melhor que a electrónica pode oferecer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqui ficam os exemplos das sonoridades dos LFO...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LFO - "Freeze"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_XvxLuLA9ZU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_XvxLuLA9ZU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LFO - "LFO"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OlJTZ_-N2aY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OlJTZ_-N2aY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LFO - "All Tied Up"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iXj4JcZli6U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iXj4JcZli6U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LFO - "Freak"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3og0oFiDO3U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3og0oFiDO3U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-115507158709269336?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/115507158709269336/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=115507158709269336&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115507158709269336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115507158709269336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2006/08/low-frequency-oscillation.html' title='Low Frequency Oscillation'/><author><name>Frederico Dinis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11496756604486132245</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31950420.post-116587674596358652</id><published>2007-12-10T22:15:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-08-22T16:57:02.873+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='electro'/><title type='text'>Electro</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Electro é o feixe de toda a música electrónica e de onde emergiu, mais tarde, o Techno.&lt;br /&gt;O pioneiro foi Afrika Bambaataa e as suas fusões de estilos, em que a electrónica germânica e um funk de carácter futurista assumiram grande importância.&lt;br /&gt;Durante algum tempo, foi fortemente associado ao breakdance, cujo carácter efémero provavelmente também contribuiu para que este fosse um estilo sem grande repercussão no tempo e no espaço.&lt;br /&gt;Os Kraftwerk e as suas pioneiras investidas no campo da música de dança (tal como hoje a conhecemos) são a clara inspiração.

Deste album destaco o tema "Butterfly", onde se pode ver toda a capacidade inovadora de Talvin Singh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante este tempo andava também à procura de um tema drum'n'bass que passava muito na televisão, como suporte a um spot publicitário do primeiro gravador de CD's da Philips, e foi então que, numa destas procuras pelas lojas, descobri o primeiro trabalho de Talvin Singh, "&lt;strong&gt;Anokha: Soundz of the Asian Underground&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este trabalho é uma compilação organizado por Talvin, onde são apresentados nomes emergentes da cena underground asiática Londrina e onde a musica tradicional indiana é misturada com drum'n'bass, breakbeats e electrónica. Aqui podemos encontrar, além de dois temas originais de Talvin, projectos como State of Bengal, Future Sound of India e Amar.&lt;br /&gt;E, como cereja em cima do bolo, o tema de abertura, de Talvin Singh, "Jaan", era o tal tema do spot publicitário que eu tanto procurava... correu bem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em 2000, Talvin Sigh lança o seu segundo album de originais, o incompreendido "&lt;strong&gt;Ha&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;Este album marca uma viragem na sua carreira, pois Talvin afasta-se de todas as suas influências iniciais e constroi este trabalho sozinho.&lt;br /&gt;Para quem estava à espera dos ambientes eloquentes e melódicos de "Ok", recebeu um album narcisista, frio e de "des-cronstrução" dos standards da altura... um autêntico manifesto anti-mainstream!&lt;br /&gt;Basta ouvir os 12 minutos do tema de abertura "One"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois deste choque, para o mercado e não para os seus fans, Talvin Singh choca novamente o mainstream, voltando a assumir integralmente as suas raízes e lança, em parceria com Rakesh Chaurasia, "&lt;strong&gt;Vira&lt;/strong&gt;", um trabalho de musica tradicional indiana onde são tocadas ragas, à boa maneira de Ravi Shankar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em 2003, Talvin é convidado pela organização do Festival de Saint-Denis (França) para participar no festival e preparar um concerto, que ficará imortalizado no seu ultimo trabalho "&lt;strong&gt;Songs for the Inner World/Live at la Basilique, Saint Denis&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E o que dizer deste trabalho?&lt;br /&gt;É simplesmente fabuloso e, para mim, a musica do futuro... sem raças, sem credos, sem política.&lt;br /&gt;Apenas musica!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Only You", o tema de abertura, começa com uma "discussão" entre tablas e voz, bem ao jeito indiano, que vai gradualmente aumentando de intensidade, até atingir o climax com a introdução das influências ocidentais (programações e ambientes sonoros) sem nunca incomodarem a fluência dos instrumentos indianos.&lt;br /&gt;Quando tudo parece novamente calmo recomeça novamente o turbilhão até tudo convergir num excelente solo de tablas e acabando, novamente, no diálogo tablas e voz.&lt;br /&gt;No tema "21st Tabula", Talvin Singh apresenta uma solução para a musica do futuro: tablatronics (tablas + electronics), programações, ambientes digitais e muitos samples...&lt;br /&gt;Mas, a experiencia de ouvir "Arternal" leva-nos a paisagens nunca antes visitadas... atinge-se o verdadeiro paraíso!&lt;br /&gt;O tema arranca com cantos gregorianos, talvez influência do concerto ser na Basílica de Saint Denis, juntando-se logo depois um excelente breakbeat.&lt;br /&gt;Para finalizar, o espaço restante é preenchido pelas sonoridades indianas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para Talvin Singh o futuro da musica é agora...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discografia:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Anokha: Soundz of the Asian Underground" (1997)&lt;br /&gt;- "Ok" (1998)&lt;br /&gt;- "Talvin Remixsingh OK" (1999)&lt;br /&gt;- "Ha" (2000)&lt;br /&gt;- "Back to Mine" (2001)&lt;br /&gt;- "Vira" (2002)&lt;br /&gt;- "Songs for the Inner World/Live at la Basilique, Saint Denis" (2004) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talvin Singh -

Afinal, nesta altura da década de 90, o que mais se faziam eram remisturas de tudo e mais alguma coisa, e com muito pouca qualidade. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviamente o meu espírito acalmou quando verifiquei que por de trás da produção deste album "&lt;strong&gt;Dreams of Freedom&lt;/strong&gt;" (1997) de Bob Marley, estava um dos maiores nomes do ambient mundial, um senhor chamado &lt;strong&gt;Bill Laswell&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tal como é indicado no sub-título da capa do album, este não é um album de remisturas, mas sim de reconstruções ambientais de músicas de Marley... ambient translations of Bob Marley in dub.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O que me surpreendeu neste trabalho de Laswell foi a sua capacidade de reinventar a música de Marley através da criação de uma nova roupagem à base de ambientes sonoros, com o recurso a sons da natureza e suaves melodias, mantendo sempre a "alma" da raiz reggae presente nos temas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paragens constantes no ritmo, cruzamento de sons originais com sons manipulados e a utilização das vozes das gravações originais, dão um toque de relaxamento e que incentivam à suave ondulação dos corpos... a utilização dos baixos fortes e de cuts dub dão o toque final a este fabuloso album. Dos 11 excelentes temas do lineup, destaco as reconstruções dos temas "Them belly full (but we hungry)", "Exodus", "Is this love" e "One love (people get ready)".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considero este trabalho como um exemplo do que deve ser uma boa remistura já que nunca coloca em causa a qualidade dos temas originais e, para além disso, re-cria temas com uma vida própria.&lt;br /&gt;Garantidamente um dos melhores tributos efectuados a Marley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS - Laswell tem outro trabalho onde efectua a reconstrução de outro grande músico, Miles Davis... mas isso fica para um post futuro. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-115498847809262713?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/115498847809262713/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=115498847809262713&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115498847809262713'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115498847809262713'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2006/08/ambient-dub-by-bill-laswell.html' title='Ambient Dub... by Bill Laswell'/><author><name>Frederico Dinis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11496756604486132245</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31950420.post-116605730974538798</id><published>2007-07-12T00:29:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T17:05:44.894+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='downtempo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lounge'/><title type='text'>Downtempo by the Thievery Corporation</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Embora o termo se possa aplicar a quase qualquer tipo de música electrónica criada para o conforto de uma sala, em detrimento da pista de dança, foi em Viena que o género melhor se soube definir. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Fundindo os mais diversos ritmos e influências em melodias que apelam ao movimento do espírito, artistas como Peter Kruder e Richard Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation ou os franceses Air operaram uma revolução na música que há muito tempo não se via. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Músicos e DJs unem forças e técnicas para criarem estados de alma que, não tendo de ser especialmente acelerados, quase sempre contribuem para inebriar os sentidos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Na minha visão, os Thievery Corporation são os expoentes máximos do género... tal como se comprova...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thievery Corporation -

Com o passar dos anos o termo aplicou-se a tudo o que envolvia a criação de ambientes sonoros, em deterimento das batidas electrónicas, e ramificou-se em vários outros géneros como o easy listenning, o ambient house, o chill-out, entre outros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No final da década de 90, apareceu um programa de rádio, na (antiga) Antena 3, aos domingos das 22h às 24h, que fazia uma excelente divulgação destes géneros, o Ambientasons (Nuno Miguel aos comandos), e que satisfazia a minha necessidade de conhecer novos projectos nestas áreas.&lt;br /&gt;Assim, ao domingo ouvia o programa e à segunda-feira ia à net consultar a playlist para ver os quais tinham sido os projectos que me tinham chamado mais a atenção e foi numa destas consultas que descobri o projecto The Irresistible Force e o seu trabalho "It's Tomorrow Already",&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Irresistible Force - "It's Tomorrow Already"&lt;/strong&gt; (1998)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considerado por muitos como um dos melhores divulgadores do easy listenning e da ambient music, através dos seus sets como DJ, dos seus artigos como jornalista e dos seus trabalhos como musico, o projecto The Irresistible Force (aka Morris Gould), deu um impulso muito forte à divulgação destes géneros que, na altura (finais da década de 90) eram considerados como os "parentes pobres" da musica electrónica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando adquiri este album, o que me chamou mais a atenção foi o lançamento ser efectuado pela Ninja Tune que, em 1998, não tinha nenhum projecto dentro desta área.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para a audição deste trabalho proponho um ambiente calmo, muito silencioso e uma hora para se desfrutar de toda a sua beleza.&lt;br /&gt;Se o inicio se mostra um pouco tímido e tradicional, dentro do género, o seu conteúdo surpreende pela fusão de ritmos mornos, vozes quentes, melodias suaves e pela consistência global dos temas.&lt;br /&gt;Destaco três temas: "Nepalese Bliss", "12 O'Clock" e "It's Tomorrow Already" (tema que dá nome ao album), pelos mesmos se aproximarem do downtempo orgânico característico das sonoridades editadas pela Ninja Tune.&lt;br /&gt;Sem dúvida um dos melhores trabalhos de easy listenning alguma vez produzidos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Irresistible Force - "12 O'Clock"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gzyLhxWofVQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gzyLhxWofVQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-115498812703075239?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/115498812703075239/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=115498812703075239&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115498812703075239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115498812703075239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2006/08/irresistible-force-j-amanh.html' title='The Irresistible Force...

Müller, had flown from their homes in Paris to record the new album, 'Lunatico', in Buenos Aires' prestigious Studio ION - the famed venue where tango greats like Astor Piazzolla had once laid down their aural magic to vast reel-to-reel tape machines.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sat in on the sessions with them were a host of local session musicians; a complete string section, two emcees, one trombonist and Argentine piano legend and long-time Gotan collaborator, Gustavo Beytelmann, conducting much of the musical goings on.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Five years on from breaking new ground in tango and electronica with their debut, 'La Revancha Del Tango' - now having sold in excess of a million copies worldwide, and shows anywhere from Tel Aviv to Tokyo in between, the band now had the small matter of developing the longstanding love affair that the public had now embarked upon with tango to concentrate on.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"We really wanted to explore both tango and folkloric music from Argentina a lot further than we had before," says Philippe. "That's why many of the tracks are really classically tango-orientated, very traditional patterns that people like (Anibal) Troilo would use."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The resulting material from those sessions was and is quite possibly their most accomplished work yet. Not wanting to replicate any of what 'La Revancha...' had originally achieved musically, Philippe, Christoph and Eduardo subsequently flew back to Paris two weeks later to begin the second leg of work on 'Lunatico' – named, quite appropriately, after tango hero Carlos Gardel's champion racehorse of the 1930's.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fellow collaborators; Argentine Bandoneonist, Nini Flores, and Barcelona-based vocalist, Cristina Vilallonga, joined up with them at their Substudioz back in the French capital and thus began the completion, hidden under top secrecy, of 'Lunático'.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;With a decidedly stronger emphasis on the more organic roots of tango, almost to a classical level, 'Lunático' has taken one step backwards in order to move two steps forward in what not only the Gotan Project, but also many of Argentina's top tango musicians see as the progression of their beloved music's ever-evolving lifespan.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"Recording this album was a more natural process for us all," Philippe adds, "as we wanted to continue the tango experience and in ten years time hopefully we'll still feel the same."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(Copyright: Swax T.

Geir Jenssen (aka Biosphere), também proveniente da mesma cidade quase consegue que o duo grave para uma sublabel da editora R&amp;amp;S, a Apollo. Após alguns anos separados, Brundtland e Berge encontram-se outra vez em Bergen e re-criam os Röyksopp, estávamos em 1998. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Depois de editarem alguns temas pela Tellé conseguem assinar pela editora Wall of Sound, na altura uma das melhores incubadoras das sonoridades big beat.&lt;br /&gt;A estreia dá-se com a edição do single “Eple”. Tanto este tema como o seguinte, “Poor Leno”, são escolhidos para várias compilações ligadas às sonoridades chillout, abrindo-se assim espaço para o lançamento do seu primeiro álbum “&lt;strong&gt;Melody A.M&lt;/strong&gt;”, em 2001… que, infelizmente na altura me passou completamente ao lado! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Depois de passaram alguns anos a tocarem ao vivo e a remisturar artistas como Beck, os Röyksopp regressam em 2005, como novos temas e com o segundo álbum, “&lt;strong&gt;The Understanding&lt;/strong&gt;”, que demonstra uma maior preocupação em estruturar os temas num formato canção. Destaco deste trabalho os temas “What Else Is There”, que me chamou atenção para este projecto, e “Only This Moment”… temas que se tornaram rapidamente as músicas favoritas do meu filho de 4 anos! :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Já durante o ano de 2006 aparece o EP “&lt;strong&gt;Röyksopp's Night Out&lt;/strong&gt;” gravado ao vivo e que vem confirmar toda a versatilidade e capacidade criativa deste projecto Nórdico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Royksopp -

Assim, em Maio de 94, sai a primeira edição da editora, um EP do projecto Dune, chamado "Alliance" (F001).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 anos e 100 edições depois, Garnier decide lançar a primeira compilação da sua editora: "&lt;strong&gt;F Communications presents Live and Rare - A celebration of our 100th release&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;Tal como o nome indica trata-se de um conjunto de 2 CDs constituídos por 18 temas, remisturas ou live acts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O line-up deste trabalho é fabuloso... e dele fazem parte os seguintes temas:&lt;br /&gt;CD 1&lt;br /&gt;. Aqua Bassino - "A mellow key" (Live at Gonzo mix - Radio Nova)&lt;br /&gt;. Llorca - "Can't take it" (F100 jass relecture)&lt;br /&gt;. Alexkid - "Sand Francisco" (F100 Tsunamix)&lt;br /&gt;. St Germain - "Soul salsa soul" (Remix)&lt;br /&gt;. Norma Jean Bell - "Baddesh bitch" (Motorbass mix)&lt;br /&gt;. Elegia - "Grid One" (Live at Bash Club - Miami)&lt;br /&gt;. Ready Made - "L'Ankou" (F100 mix)&lt;br /&gt;. Frédéric Galliano Electronic Sextet - "Sans titre" (Live at the Jazz Café)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CD 2&lt;br /&gt;. Juantrip' - "Shadow" (F100 mix)&lt;br /&gt;. Jori Hulkkonen - "3rd line" (Live at Roskilde Festival)&lt;br /&gt;. Laurent Garnier - "Dance 2 the Music" (Live at the Rex Club - Paris)&lt;br /&gt;. Scan X - "Bleu" (Live at Fuse - Brussels)&lt;br /&gt;. A Reminiscent Drive - "Life is beautiful" (F100 mix)&lt;br /&gt;. Chaotik Ramses - "Crying 202" (Live at the M.A.D. - Lausanne)&lt;br /&gt;. Mr Oizo - "Sick dog try to speak" (Unreleased track)&lt;br /&gt;. Laurent Garnier - "Kall it!" (Live at Sonar Club)&lt;br /&gt;. Scan X - "Futuristic Funk" (Live at the Liquid Room - Tokyo)&lt;br /&gt;. Nova Nova - "Shake it up" (Live at F COMM Fresh party - Paris)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dentro destes recomendo uma audição mais cuidada dos meus temas favoritos:&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Aqua Bassino&lt;/strong&gt;, gravado de uma live performance na Radio Nova, com uma melodia graciosa e uma linha rítmica na linha do melhor downbeat alguma vez feito;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Ready Made&lt;/strong&gt;, os break beats e os cuts de Jean-Philippe Verdin são autenticas obras de arte dentro do drum'n'bass;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;Jori Hulkkonen&lt;/strong&gt;, além de ser um dos meus favoritos dentro da música electrónica, apresenta um tema ao vivo onde demonstra toda a sua capacidade para movimentar corpos;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;A Reminiscent Drive&lt;/strong&gt;, aka Jay Alanski, o crossover entre a música electrónica e instrumentos de cordas sempre me fascinaram... este é mais um excelente exemplo do que se pode conseguir... uma simbiose perfeita!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois deste centésimo lançamento a F Comm, continuou a desenvolver e apostar em excelentes projectos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-115593618645825390?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/115593618645825390/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=115593618645825390&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115593618645825390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115593618645825390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2006/08/f-communication-liverare.html' title='F Communication...

uma luz mágica e colorida invadiu o meu quarto despertando-me inesperadamente.&lt;br /&gt;O brilho de seus raios cintilava colorido, com uma energia tal que percebi logo não ser uma manhã habitual.&lt;br /&gt;Interrogo-me por tal madrugada ser tão diferente das outras e enquanto desperto ouço o canto, claramente definido e perceptível, de uma ave pousada no alpendre da minha janela.&lt;br /&gt;E que melodia era aquela…&lt;br /&gt;Era Primavera! Não existe estação do ano mais bonita e esperada que a Primavera.&lt;br /&gt;Estático, enroscado nos lençóis, assim permaneci em quietude assistindo a tal fenómeno da natureza.&lt;br /&gt;O pássaro, primeiramente, cantava uma melodia repetitiva, idêntica a um martelar estridente de um ferreiro, variando depois para um chilreado, alterando o ritmo e o conteúdo da cançoneta.&lt;br /&gt;Tentei perceber o significado do seu canto tal como um dialecto …&lt;br /&gt;O que teria vindo ele dizer-me?&lt;br /&gt;Esta era uma primavera sem dúvida diferente para mim, uma primavera de mudança, de transformações, de renovação do espírito e começar tudo de novo.&lt;br /&gt;De enterrar as folhas caídas de Outono, esquecer o frio e o cinza do Inverno e dar lugar a estação do renascimento da vida, de flores, de cores, de novos perfumes e novos amores.&lt;br /&gt;A posição do sol toma novas posições iluminando novas criaturas, marcando novas sombras, preparando novas vidas para que a primavera chegue.&lt;br /&gt;Encontros, desencontros e reencontros; quantas primaveras distantes não recordamos nós nas nossas vidas?&lt;br /&gt;Do meu ponto de vista, a primavera deveria ser quando nós quiséssemos, no momento que desejássemos, independentemente do ritmo e do movimento eterno dos céus.&lt;br /&gt;Aí, já os pássaros seriam outros, os seus cantos seriam diferentes e os que os ouvissem iriam perceber que já nada tinham a ver com o que outrora entenderam e amaram.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7924/383/1600/Marcos03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left;

Destaco ainda o tema de abertura "A beaten dog beneath the hail" e o maravilhoso "Every third thought", a fazer lembrar os ultimos trabalhos de Bugge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apesar de ter alguns anos, este trabalho continua com um som cada vez mais actual... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-115447424908178962?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/115447424908178962/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=115447424908178962&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115447424908178962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115447424908178962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2006/08/grassy-knoll.html' title='The Grassy Knoll'/><author><name>Frederico Dinis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11496756604486132245</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31950420.post-115447512207672058</id><published>2006-07-20T00:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T16:54:32.919+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Lounge Radio</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Nas minhas longas noites de trabalho tenho a companhia de uma net radio Suiça, e que potenciou a criação deste blog... apenas e só porque faz o que não é feito em Portugal, divulga apenas e só as sonoridades lounge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Visitem... acho que vale uma audição mais apurada!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7924/383/1600/index.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7924/383/200/index.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;ENJOY THIS LIGHT SUMMER-PLATE CONSISTING OF FRESH BEATS OF NUJAZZ - DIPPED INTO THE WARMTH OF BRAZIL ELECTRO AND FINALLY SERVED WITH A BREATH OF AMBIENT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lounge-radio.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.lounge-radio.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-115447512207672058?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/115447512207672058/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=115447512207672058&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115447512207672058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115447512207672058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2006/08/lounge-radio.html' title='Lounge Radio'/><author><name>Frederico Dinis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11496756604486132245</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31950420.post-115447353148457971</id><published>2006-07-08T23:57:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T16:54:03.976+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='downtempo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lounge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nu-jazz'/><title type='text'>Relaxing with The Cinematic Orchestra</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7924/383/1600/Cinematic%2001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7924/383/200/Cinematic%2001.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Playful.

Whether to categorize "Motion" as a jazz or electronica album is an intriguing conundrum, because it truly turns out to be a combination of both musical forms, and it is an unequivocally brilliant combination, at that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Swinscoe gathered samples of drum grooves, basslines, and melodies from various recordings and artists that have inspired and influenced him (spaghetti-western composer Ennio Morricone and Roy Budd's spy film scores, '60s and '70s jazz and soundtrack scores from musicians such as Elvin Jones, Eric Dolphy, Andre Previn, David Rose, and John Morris). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;He then presented the samples that he had collected to a group of musicians, the core of which consisted of Tom Chant (soprano sax, electric and acoustic piano), Jamie Coleman (trumpet, flugelhorn), Phil France (bass), and T. Daniel Howard (drums), to learn and then improvise. Those tracks, in turn, were sampled and rearranged by Swinscoe on computer to create the tracks that make up this first Cinematic Orchestra album.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The album bears all of the atmospheric hallmarks of ambient electronica, as well as Swinscoe's soundtrack inspirations and all the improvisational energy of jazz. Most of the songs are built with wave upon wave of repeated loops and instrumental phrases that work into a groove. Yet it feels at any moment as if the music is about to explode, like a steam whistle boiling to its screaming point. On "One to the Big Sea," for example, the same four-note bassline plays over and over with the same ride cymbal rhythm, but instead of seeming rote or mechanical, the riff just seems to continually bubble up and throb, slowly building anticipation and pressure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Regardless of how they were made, though, the songs on "Motion" are by turns eerie, lush, edgy, expansive, gritty, intensely powerful, and gorgeous. Sometimes an album comes along that forces you to reconfigure and re-evaluate all of the assumptions you had previously made about music in order to realize how vast and endless the possibilities are; this is one of those albums. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Featuring a mix of jazz charts, DJ culture touches, and soundtrack-level layers of sound, Cinematic Orchestra's "&lt;strong&gt;Remixes 1998-2000&lt;/strong&gt;" includes seven reconfigurations of electronica gems from the likes of Kenji Eno, DJ Krust, and Piero Umilani. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Atop their own core sound of bass, drums, and keyboards, the band deftly mixes in samples from the original tracks. The result is a loose-sounding mix of lengthy wide-screen pieces, which conjure up thoughts of Henry Mancini, John Barry, Jah Wobble, DJ Spooky, Herbie Hancock, and King Tubby. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;With "&lt;strong&gt;Every Day&lt;/strong&gt;", Cinematic Orchestra move beyond the electro-jazz fusion of their debut to make a record more natural, more paced, and, surprisingly, better than the justly hyped "Motion". J Swinscoe is more the arranger/conductor here than the producer, but of course, there's little need for samples or effects with such an accomplished band sharing the burden. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;For the opener "All That You Give", Swinscoe and Co., plus harp player Rhodri Davies, spend a few minutes delicately paving the way for a deeply felt vocal by soul hero Fontella Bass. "Burn Out" is a lush, meditative track with a pleasantly ambling solo from Phil France on electric piano, a few appropriately cinematic-sounding horns, an age-old vocal sample, and occasional creaking static phasing through. Bass returns for another splendid track ("Evolution"), and the mighty Roots Manuva appears on a magisterial, spoken-word quasi-autobiography, "All Things to All Men". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Except for a pair of detours into highly programmed "broken beat" production, "Every Day" is a textured, acoustic work. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It was just a matter of time before the Cinematic Orchestra received a commission for a film score, but this 2003 release actually dates from 1999. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The genesis of "&lt;strong&gt;Man With a Movie Camera&lt;/strong&gt;" lies in the selection committee of a Portuguese film festival, which asked Cinematic Orchestra to score their re-airing of Dziga Vertov's 1929 film of the same name, a silent Soviet documentary focused on a day in the life of an average worker. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Performed live by the orchestra, "Man With a Movie Camera" doesn't allow Swinscoe to indulge in his usual post-production magic, but it is a surprisingly adept score, with occasional bursts of on-the-one jazz-funk wailing to break it up. Scattered moments of brilliance abound, and at one point, someone on sax comes up with a brilliant foghorn recreation. The Cinematic material lies in '70s astral jazz, with evocative, tremulous work from soprano sax and violin. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Discography &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;- Motion (1999) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;- Remixes 1998-2000 (2000) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;- Everyday (2002) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;- Man With a Movie Camera (2003) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The sounds and styles heard may not be revolutionary, but instead of simply pushing stylistic boundaries, Cinematic Orchestra display a real gift in making emotional, artistic music.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-115447353148457971?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/115447353148457971/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=115447353148457971&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115447353148457971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115447353148457971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2006/08/relaxing-with-cinematic-orchestra.html' title='Relaxing with The Cinematic Orchestra'/><author><name>Frederico Dinis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11496756604486132245</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31950420.post-115447417765600423</id><published>2006-07-03T00:15:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T16:53:02.167+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='electro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='downbeat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nu-jazz'/><title type='text'>orbit.experience</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7924/383/1600/orbit.experience.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7924/383/200/orbit.experience.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Durante os anos, alguns dos trabalhos que adquiro, têm uma história associada...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por exemplo, um dos melhores albuns da minha colecção foi comprado só porque, durante umas férias vi, repito, vi, num qualquer num bar de praia e num qualquer canal de tv por satélite, um video de um grupo que tinha um trio de baixo, guitarra e trompete, um tipo na "maquinaria" electrónica e um grupo de cordas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lembro-me que, como estava num bar, não ouvia o que tocavam, mas o nome chamou-me a atenção: Orbit Experience... fácil de decorar porque gosto muito dos trabalhos de William Orbit, dos Orbital e dos The Orb!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nessa noite procurei informações na net sobre o projecto, cheguei ao site deles em &lt;a href="http://www.orbitexperience.de"&gt;www.orbitexperience.de&lt;/a&gt; e no dia seguinte adquiri o album: orbit.experience - "&lt;strong&gt;space.beat&lt;/strong&gt;" (2000).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oriundo de Estugarda, na Alemanha, este projecto encaixa-se bem na vanguarda do Nu Jazz europeu.&lt;br /&gt;O virtuosismo dos solos de Sebastian Studnitziky (trompete e rhodes), a alma do baixo de Marküs Kössler, as batidas explosivas de Flo Dauner e o "ambiente" criado pela guitarra (e barulho) de Markus fazem deste album um dos melhores dentro do nu jazz e um marco na produção de jazz alemã.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Destaco dois temas, o tema de abertura "ddr" pelo excelente diálogo entre a trompete e o rhodes, a fazer lembrar o tempo dos grandes "duelos" jazzísticos e o tema bonus "orbit.phase 2", com a participação da Orquestra de Câmara de Estugarda, e que cria um dos melhores temas de Nu Jazz alguma vez produzidos... tema este que foi o tal que me chamou a atenção.&lt;br /&gt;Um projecto a seguir com muita atenção e um album com nota máxima!

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Isto passa-se comigo relativamente às novas sonoridades provenientes dos países nórdicos, no caso especifico deste post, o Nu Jazz Norueguês, representado (e bem) por um dos seus expoentes máximos, Bugge Wesseltoft e o seu album "&lt;strong&gt;Live&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando vi, no site da Jazzland Rec, o lançamento de um album ao vivo de Bugge, com um alinhamento muito aproximado ao trabalho anterior ("New Conception of Jazz"), pensei que seriam "apenas" mais umas versões das sonoridades de que tanto gostava... e não quis arriscar!&lt;br /&gt;Mas, com o passar do tempo a curiosidade aumentou e decidi arriscar... afinal o catálogo desta editora nunca me tinha falhado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando o recebi ficou-me logo na retina a participação de John Scofield... guitarrista de renome no jazz mundial... e companheiro de Pat Matheney. Mas, o melhor ainda estava para vir... é que não são "apenas" umas versões, são temas com uma alma e uma roupagem totalmente nova, com introduções fantásticas e solos excelentes.&lt;br /&gt;É tensão, é calmia, é dor, é alegria... sem regras e com muita improvisação.&lt;br /&gt;Isto é o (nu)jazz no seu estado mais puro... mas, talvez não o seja para os mais puristas! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31950420-115447431302047777?l=fm-lounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/feeds/115447431302047777/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31950420&amp;postID=115447431302047777&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115447431302047777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31950420/posts/default/115447431302047777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fm-lounge.blogspot.com/2006/08/bugge-wesseltoft-live.html' title='Bugge Wesseltoft - &quot;Live&quot;'/><author><name>Frederico Dinis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11496756604486132245</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
