Totally Awesome. You & Fonogeri are the Beatmasters of Jamendo. Bout all I can say. Theres not a bad track here. One 1 listen I would have to nominate Hypnic Jerk for some of the best Turntablism I have EVER heard. Circadian is warm & melodic, and Hypersomnia is just a meltdown from go to whoa. Thanx for sharing. This is brilliant. Much Resoect. PJR

If possible the best yet. So many brilliant tracks its hard to know where to start. This album will stand repeated listens and puts many so called 'chillout' compilations in record shops to shame. Brilliant and inspired release. Thanks heaps for sharing. With respect. PJR

Just magic from wo to go. The way the tunes are blended with the overlapping themes and grooves , kinda like bricks in a wall. Far more than just a mix, this is an amazing concept with a totally wicked & hypnotic groove. Standout tracks (if possible would be Sea Fever (9), Trumpeters Garden (13) & Ballad of the Gardener (14), but really hard to pick...its all good, hasn't been off the soundsystem since I downloaded it last week...the neighbours are complaining..(and some are grooving. Thanks for sharing...With Respect. and Thanks. PJR

Hard to believe this is Creative Commons and not a glossy "Cafe Del Mar" type compliation CD.
Possible the best yet...if that is possible, as the first four set such an incredibly high standard of variation, production, talent & passion in this genre of warm electronica & chillout.

Standout tracks on # 5 are: A short one called "Last Wave" by Aleksey Chistilin. Melodic, gentle, and although very short manages to pack a heap of emotion & beauty. A perfect closer to a set of chillout grooves. VST GUru & Vitaliy Budyak's (what an awesome guitar player)track "The Way" is stunning in its beauty, composition and playing...almost Acid Jazz tinged Ambient, if such a thing exists (well it does now!). In that feel the best since SOO Slix's "The Cliff" back on Tunguska Vol 2

The MONSTER track, and easily one of the best this year is "Violet Sister" by ArLeAn Project.
The only thing I can say about this, is just having seen AVATAR again (for the 6th time!!!!)on the big screen, this amazing track should have been the theme music....a more haunting atmospheric mix of almost classical electronica and the human voice I have rarely heard...leaves me speechless with shivers running down my spine.

The only only other track so far this year I could compare this with is "Reflections' on the new Max Waves "Music For Microworlds" release..also here on Jamendo.

To all of you at Tunguska..a huge thanks and loads of RESPECT and gratitude for creating and sharing such good music. # 5 is going to be on my sound system for months to come. PJR

I LOVED 'Naghtmusik, so downloaded this 1st to have a listen B4 reviewing. However have just listened to Reflections...and having wiped all the tears off the keyboard have just got to say this is the best track I have heard this year. You really should send this out to a few labels...this is absolutely sensational. Pixies voice just sends shivers..the soft 'rap' towards the end is amazing, the lyrics are magic...poetry standard, and your soft accompanyment with just the keys & gentle strings sets it off beautifully. I haven't listened to the rest yet, but Reflections is 10+10+10. Thanks to all of you for making and sharing a truely great song. Respect. PJR

Very Very Nice...got a real "Glasgow Underground" flava from the 90's...my fave era in Deep House. Wicked groove, loverly loverly melody & chords...has a real chill to go with the dance...makes for a great listening track...the intro is a bit abrupt...hence my '9' & not a '10'..otherwise this is one of the best Deep House tracks i have heard on Jamendo...going strait onto my sound system to give my JBL Monitors a work out...with thanks & Respect.

Very Fresh. Wonderful pads, melodies & the mix of vocals works really well. Liked both versions of the tune, the house working well as a listener as well as a dancer. the half tempo version with its huge chords & harmonies almost becomes a romantic pop ballad. Very original & creative work. Hope to hear more from you. A Download that is going to get a lot of listens & give a lot of enjoyment. With thanks & respect. PJR

What an achievment...combines epic movie granduer with soothing melodies, deep ambience, & stunning arrangements that only really begin to be appreciated after repeated listens. This is why I am only reviewing now after having downloaded & listened to both Landscapes over & over. I can only assume you have some classical training to be able top achieve the complex chord changes & sweeping harmonies. I would love to know how you have your studio set up & what software you are using.....just for curiosity. Anyway, both these albums are now treasured and burnt onto music archive CDs. I only hope you can one day get one of your pieces played by a real orchestra....In the meantime thankyou for creating two of the most original & beautiful sets of electronica I have ever heard, and hope the muse is with you in 2010. With respect. PJR
