These bands reminds me a bit of this album. Great. Just great. Wonderful beats, laid-back samples and the groove is all over the album. This is marvelous. No more, no less. Wow ... great! Groovy...

Mission Report Malvado 2005-05-05 18:42:52 2005-05-05 18:42:52 5 56962 This really is one of the best free releases to be found on the web, if you're at all into intelligent electronic music. It's one that I return to again and again... it's one of the first and the few that I recommend to people who are unfamiliar with the free-music scene. If you're lucky enough to have stumbled onto this page, or someone has directed you here: download the album. It's a real treat, and you simply can't beat the price. ;) Simply one of the best!

He hasn’t settled on a style yet; he seems to be trying on many different hats in his Meets Torsti At The Space Lounge (which was one of the first musical pieces I heard at archive.org). I loved it then, and started listening randomly to it today, loving it even more. The cosmic-funk description sounds about right. Lots of sampling, random voices, hard beats, unexpected arrangements and instruments. True Dwelling Place is a jumpy, eerie piece with a fluttering almost hypnotic quality during the slower parts. Whirlwind Pistols Dub is a reggae funk beat with a fun harmonica melody trapped inside. Cosmos Bossa is a silly tooting bit of work, reminiscient of Ugress’s Swing e Sesso (which in my book is the ultimate compliment). Nebulae Herb (my favorite Track 2) is a hard pounding dance number with great organ background. O Tema de Viagem Especial has a jazzy South American feel, with rapid horns and lots of pounding. http://www.imaginaryplanet.net/weblogs/sharethemusic/?p=78 Share The Music Weblog Electic electronica--love Nebulae Herb rjnagle 2007-10-10 16:58:45 2007-10-10 16:58:45 4 17 4.76
