Nice and smooth original compositions by Tryad in this interesting compilation. The recording quality has certainly improved as compared to their previous jewel 'Public Domain'.
I was mesmerized by the songs 'Alone', 'You are god' & 'this'. The ideas are so original and so professionally executed that they can cast a spell on any listener.
'Struttin' was a little strange yet interesting track. 'Breathe' was a little boring and long. 'Waltz into Moonlight' was an enjoyable listen even though it was very very long. The weak vocals of 'Lovely' made it a dull listen.
Well some other tracks such as 'All the same', 'Mesmerize', 'Beauty' and 'Empty' seemed to me as old fashioned ones. There was some hidden element in them which made them sound like a lullaby. Probably some sleep mechanism engraved in the recording ;-)
In the end I would like to say that, 'Listen' was a compilation of all sorts of tastes. The piano work was flawless often reminding me the music of early 20th century. But that old fashioned 'ness' bored me a little. If I had to make a comparison between 'Public Domain' and 'Listen', I would prefer the former one because its much more energetic, much more dark. But if I had to recommend any one of the 2 albums to my parents I would prefer 'Listen'.
Already awaiting your third installation!
Wow !! This is a wonderful track. Very cool and relaxing. Good use of sitar samples (or u have played it?). The starting of the track is excellent and as it moves forward it just melts like butter. Very impressive music indeed !! I want more. A single track is not enough to display the creative talent that you have in store with you.
'Tales of mystery and imagination' has its own genre which is quite distinct from all other albums found here on Jamendo. The work is very professional. Each and every track is carefully crafted. The recording quality is flawless. Drum work is one of the finest. This album gives a reflection of many of Enigma's works. The darkness and musical illusions created by the artist are surreal. One thing I appreciate the most about this album is the mixing. Various guitar samples and different ambient sounds gives immense pleasure to my ears. A must listen for all. My favorite tracks are: 'Cyberrace' & 'Harlequin'.
Sikhism has finally arrived musically on Jamendo. This is really brilliant work by the artist. A soft prayer turned into an ambient chillout track. A great reproduction of a prayer which I hear everytime I visit a Gurudwara. Though I must agree that the sax work is a little far, a more ambient sound in this composition. Nice meditative experience while listening early in the morning.
Good to see a small Ganesha on your album art :-)
Namaste... Mudit ;-)
I downloaded this jewelry box 2 weeks ago. The last month was one of the most busiest one of my life and add to that- power cuts due to storms and a terrorist attack. So there was very little I could give to this album. But when I really started listening this album from my heart I found out that the quality of the songs is even better than "Between Light & Shadows".
My favorite tracks are "Lise", "Afro Red", "Afro Blue" & "That Feeling". Please excuse me, but was that really Stefano's voice in the track "Hunt"? I am a little confused, it sounds more of a woman's voice. Fried Lil Chicken was disappointing. It finished even before I could relish it. Overall this album is a box full of jewels of different kinds and shapes and have been put on a free music site like this one for a loot.
This kind of music is new on Jamendo. Really ominous bassline. Gritty theme. A reasonably good idea and good execution. The recording quality was pretty average. Especially you can't understand what "Mr George Bush" is talking about. Good beats make it an interesting package to listen to.
Now this one is one of your best works. It has that invisible SaReGaMa imprint, that particular trademark of yours engraved in the sounds and this makes this album very special. Long, complicated and beautifully laid down sounds. Each and every track needs a lot of listening in order to appreciate the hidden beauty. Each and every channel is precisely engineered by the dude to make this album a great listen.
1. Shanti: Muahwahawow! What a great remix! Great! This one is a surprise package!
2. Clouds Fly as I smile: This track was a great remix. I have already listened to the original soundtrack and found it very light to the ears. But the way you have added effects and beats, it makes the tracks very lively.
3. FonkyS: Scratching....scratching? Good music but not exactly to my liking.
4. Ngwiza: This one is my favorite. Music with a pleasant mood.
I don't have enough words to describe the complete album. But if works like this keep coming up for free then I think it will revolutionize the listening experience and mode of people.
Now this single track sounds as if from an Hindi movie. That movie can be one which is describing a tale of a village, lives of people living in it and their day to day activities. If I get a genuine video recorder I would like to make one such documentary film and would like to play this track at the background.
Well I think SaReGaMa chose a poor title for this track. I couldn't find any feeling as if I am in water with fishes all around me. And I am dissapointed for that.
But great music. Great surround sound effect. Sweet melody and rich effects.
Ashutosh Gowariker and A.R Rehman would be impressed ;-)
Perhaps Pedro needs a punch or something. He calls these songs 'demo'! What a 'comical' shame ;-) !! This album is full of 70 minutes of exciting resources which can put leading artists to shame. The writing skills of Pedro is really worth appreciating. His songs melt like butter and are a great listen in whatever mood you are. The instrumental talent of 'fresh body shop' is one of the best I ever listened to.
One the other side, honestly speaking this album is a bit rusty. Most of the tracks are unfinished. Recording is not up to the mark and sounds incomplete. I dunno what happened with them. Perhaps the band members became a little lazy. This album has some problem with the presentation. The rest all perfect. It is good that you allowed all these tracks to 'breathe' on the internet.
That's the reason why I say:
"This album might be rusty, but it's definitly not corroded!"
fresh body shop continues to rock !!
