With the mid-December release of Traveling in Stereo, the group�s fourth collaboration, Tab and Anitek aim to make a slight departure from their past work.

MelissaJanuary 31, 2010

"Color in a world of monochrome" is the tagline for the thirteenth netBloc compilation release from blocSonic, and there couldn't be a more appropriate way to describe this collection of photos, artwork, and of course fantastic free music. A feast of visual and audio delights, there's more than enough here to keep you interested for the long haul, and to make you want more.

Peque�a Fiera! “Secrets with no words” – dreamy and hazy experimental art rock release

galaktycznyzwiadJanuary 28, 2010

Another great release from the Error!Lo-Fi Records (Spain). Peque�a Fiera! is a band that explores the border between lo-fi and experimental/art rock (vide Radiohead, Sigur Ros, etc.). What we got on Secrets with no words are 5 very dreamy and hazy tunes that take us somewhere very much behind the rainbow. If the band thought about the compositions a little bit thoroughly than it would definitely be a minor underground hit-band.

Sleep.Shy “Gal�pagos Inn” – unusual mix of sweetness and cynicism

MarvinJanuary 26, 2010

Sleep.Shy�s Galapagos Inn is one of the more unusual online albums to come out of 2009. It is calm, witty and somewhat perplexing in its mix of sweetness and cynicism. The opening �I nowhere I am� is typical with its switch of upbeat rhythm to classical choir and piano then back. The track �On Why No. 2 Pencils Have Erasers� shows that this band has their hard rock side but when you least expect it�Mood change!

L�grima �Trayecto Imperfecto de un Viaje Inacabado� – first release of Error! Lo-Fi Recordings

galaktycznyzwiadJanuary 25, 2010

This is the first of the records from Error!Lo-Fi Recording, a very interesting net-label I would like to recommend here. Lagrima plays interesting and engaging instrumental lo-fi and although there is a certain that-composition-is-so-similar and I-have-heard-it-before syndromes, it's still a recommendable release.

Paolo Pavan “Looking for a Way Out” – CC licensed modern jazz

MarvinJanuary 23, 2010

Pianist Paolo Pavan has been previously reviewed here for his excellent jazz album titled Inside. The title refers to his fondness for mainstream tonal jazz which he continues to explore on Looking For a Way Out. Yet, as the title implies, Pavan becomes a bit more exploratory. Aside from his rather prodigious talent on keyboards, the musician also displays a gift at arranging. There is also some impressive soloing by Daniele Arena on trumpet, Davide Marinacci on tenor sax and Michele Villari on alto and soprano saxophones. If you are at all interested in modern jazz, you should like this.

Erdbeerschnitzel helps clean out your ears with Pathetik Party

MelissaJanuary 22, 2010

A lot has happened in recent years that is making me give electropop another chance. You might think there's only so much that can be done with dancey club-type music, but the advent of IDM as a distinct "listening" genre (i.e. stuff you might actually play at home) has really opened doors for musicians like Tim Keiling, also known as Erdbeerschnitzel, to spread their wings and explore a bit.

Markovich/A.M.P.’s Emotive Force – project-based alternapop

MelissaJanuary 18, 2010

It's nice to see Creative Commons licenses being used for undertakings that push the limits of collaboration and remote recording technologies, and Markovich/A Music Project (A.M.P.) are doing their best to test those limits. As the name suggests, they are a music project more than a band, and although they aim to make pretty straight-up downtempo and trip-hop, there's still enough variation in there to make for some very interesting listening.
