Pale Ravine is an album which manages to blend elements of classical music with electronic music, yet there is something decidedly different which sets it apart from the competition. While there are elements that can be compared with contemporaries such as Max Richter, Marsen Jules or Ryan Teague ??€� Deaf Center is altogether more other-worldly, darker and ultimately very rewarding.

Erik Skodvin and Otto Totland are engineers of emotion and with Neon City they have created something abstract, yet accessable.
As the sound of a Norweigian log cabin creaks in the distance, and crisp piano drifts into the soundfield - you know you are in the world of Deaf Center.

i fell asleep while listening to this.. twice already.
but still a great record, possibly one of biosphere's best.
this could be called "ambient-jazz", as with other acts like triosk.. or even skalpel?
boomkat calls it the stripped down version of cinematic orchestra,
which is quite fair...

this cd version contains 4 exclusive tracks, but lacks "in the shape of a flute", only available on the vinyl lp and simply amazing.
geir jenssen claims to have finished making electronics, so this is probably the last "biosphere" we get.

Mountains

02. Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass [16:40]
03. Blown Glass Typewriter [5:38]
04. Sunday 07.25.04 Live at Tonic [21:15]

a disc warmly recommended by glen johnson of piano magic.. and by me, for probably the same reasons.
a sum of experiments which led to an album of electro-acoustic instrumentation, field recordings and live samples..
i can't call them songs, not even tracks. it's music that doesn't speak, but resounds in space.

There is little that is particularly groundbreaking about Mountains' music, but that hardly detracts from the end result - impeccably crafted, often gorgeous tunes that appease quickly in their overt melodicism, and yet contain layer upon layer of studious detail that reveals itself only after multiple listens. Holtkamp and Anderegg manage to comb through so many different textures and styles of folk, electronic, and modern composition, and yet always maintain strong, individual voices that never fall into the pitfalls of simplistic genre exercises. Far from being just the debut of a new project, Mountains represents an excellent snapshot of the continuing evolution of two creative, talented and confident collaborators.

Ever since DJ Shadow brought cut'n'paste hip hop into the mainstream with his seminal '96 disc Endtroducing..., many contemporary bands have embraced a chuck-all-your influences-in-the-pot style of music-making that defies easy categorisation. Clogs have been described as a contemporary classical quartet in indie clothing and two of their members, guitarist Bryce Dessner and violonist Padma Newsome, are best known for their work with cult alt.country stars The National. With percussionist Thomas Kozumplik and bassoonist Rachael Elliott, they play exhilarating, folkish chamber music, creating soaring melodies out of tiny shards and repetitive riffs. They can suggest a rootsier Philip Glass, but their tunes have the immediacy of rock and you'd have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by their powerful, gorgeous music.

there's two "sidess" entitled "... listen with a partner, wonderful things may happen." and "R O C K The World (Deep Rock Style)".
you can hear the old, dusty vinyl pops and the record spin down, so you know it's "the real thing".
enjoy, y'all..

and the tracklisting:

01. Grow - Gone, Gone, Gone
02. The Seltmann Family - I Just Feel Like Something
03. Soul Survivors - Hey Gyp

Amina
AnimaminA EP
The Worker's Institute 2005

01. Skakka (4:13)
02. Hemipode (4:29)
03. Fjarskanistan (6:29)
04. Bl??skj??r (3:20)

An exercise in minimalism, Amina are collaborators with Sigur Ros and share many a characteristic, though on a more organic tip. Across four tracks, a xylophone is barely touched, a harp lightly brushed and what sounds like a mandolin lightly strummed; it's all unmistakably Icelandic, utterly unruffled by the musical climate outside their glacial isle. This EP will only be the start, as Amina have planned a full length album and a full tour of Europe with Sigur Ros. Truly glorious.

Clogs
Stick Music

03. Sticks & Nails
04. Beating Stick
05. Lady Go
06. River Stick
07. My Mister "Never Ending Bliss"
08. Witch Stick
09. Pitasi

Atonal, arhythmic and often alien-sounding, the music here shares more perhaps with Third Ear Band and late Stravinsky than Penguin Cafe Orchestra. The usual plethora of instrumental sounds and moods keeps the disc intriguing throughout. Clogs still reside in the narrow boundary between popular and contemporary classical music, and still provide a rewarding listening experience. Stick Music is a glowing warm structure of effervescent strings that you cant quite absorb fully on first listen but that leaves a deep, bruising impression thereafter. In fact, it's good that they are challenging themselves to come up with something new and totally their own.

16. Unqua Sunset
17. Metro North
18. Augusta

A remarkable release that more than delivers on the promise of Run_Return's 7-inch single Animals Are Beautiful People, the Oakland trio's Metro North deftly merges tight drum programming, squelchy synths, and electronic textures with guitars, vibes, bass, and drums in eighteen future-jazz tracks. The group's sound ranges widely, with songs encompassing post-rock, dub, jazz, funk, and melodic electronica, sometimes within the span of a single song. Remote Sensing exemplifies the music's mercurial character, with mechano synth patterns surreptitiously morphing into acoustic guitar and then banjo picking. Similarly, Our Pleasure to Serve You commingles radical edits and drum programming with electric piano and acoustic drums before vanishing in a free-form haze of animal noise at its close.

not all that pretentious as the review would suggest.
instead, it's one of the few "background" albums that actually caught my attention.
