I have been a fan of TMS since day one, and consider their Chillout productions to be the best I have found over the last few years. Never "common", never "expected", there is always a very real, organic, live feel to the music.

Tho I like most of the TMS releases, their Chillout collections are second to none, and I recommend them highly to everyone that will listen to my opinion...

Ever since finding Jamendo, the Tunguska Chillout Grooves collections have been at the top of my list of the Best Music On Jamendo. There are TON'S of good artists on here, but, like anywhere, there are always a few standouts, and Tunguska EMS is one of them.

Vol 5 does not disappoint in the least, and after giving it a through listen-to I am again in awe of the musicianship, and hope to create EM to this level in the future.

Placing it in Random Play in Amarok with the other 4 albums creates a consistent & relaxing atmosphere for the entire day, or for those long trips....

Tunguska EMS is the best kept secret in the world of Chillout, and a secret that I am happy to share with everyone I know. Thank You for making your music available!

There are a lot of artist on here, and a lot of music, both good & bad. This band is one of the ones that top's my playlist every time!

I appreciate all the folks that place their music on here for us to enjoy, and there are a lot of good ones...

But The Kyoto Connection is one of the few that has created a truly unique sound among all the others. Selecting a favorite song from their two releases is near impossible, because they are all quality songs.

The use of Live Drums & Instruments with Sequinces & live vocals is not new, but they way the arrangemtas are done create a seemless unit that makes each song a pleasent listen, and is diverse enough for repeat listening.

These folks are a must download!

A very warm sounding album which is also well produced and performed. I was hooked from the first note.

Mysterious Cromleck, Fairwell Vietnam are my picks from this one.

This album tells a story, and takes you through it very well. This is not an album that you ignore, it is one that engaged me from start to finish.

Floating, Second Awakening, Little People, and Hollow City are my picks.

Lots of texture, fun and quirky. Good production and arrangements. I have become a fan of AB after this one. Emptiness and After All 1 & 2 are my picks.

Alexander Blu - Electricity

I enjoyed this simple, relaxing album. The production is good, and the melody's stick with you. Electricity and Beginning are my picks.

There are some "put the top down & drive" songs on here. Good production and sounds. Nature Song, Man With Long Hair (spy movie feel), and Slow Mind are my picks.

This is one of the better finds on Jamendo, even tho the tunes feel like they are not "fully developed". I would like to hear the tunes on this album build through out their length a little more, but this is just IMHO.

This is a great, toe tapping album that reminds me of Yanni and John Tesh in a way, and that is a good thing! The arrangements, production & choice of sounds are some of the best I have heard on Jamendo in the short time I have been here, it is very pleasant to listen to.

I will be keeping an eye out for more from this artist!

THE best album that I have grabbed from Jamendo yet! This is one of those mindless CD's that you put in, and before you know it most of the bull of the day just don't seem that important anymore....and this is meant in a great way!

We look forward to more from this artist....hopefully in the near future.

 
 

Personal data

I played pro for 40+ years, and am now a "Retired" Musician - turned - Studio Owner. I play drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, and compose & write material for local movie soundtracks & commercials. I also create "Ambient-Background" tracks in various styles for play in Restaurants, Malls, anyplace music is needed to enhance the atmosphere. My Original songs come from a lot of questions and trials that I have went through over the years, and I pray that they might be a thought provoking catalyst to get people to face the eternal results of our everyday actions. I write what I feel, and I enjoy listening to a wide variety of music, both on here and elsewhere.
