New Shulman Album: ALive!

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:54:43 +0000

Shulman has a special place in my heart. Their second album, In Search of a Meaningful Moment, is one of the of the albums directly responsible for my obsession with the genre. If you haven’t heard that album, click that link and purchase a copy, $10! So whenever a new album is announced, I immediately take notice. This time is no exception. Titled, ALive, the new album

contains live arrangements of known Shulman tracks that were made for the special Shulman live band shows. The recordings were done with live musicians: a drummer, guitar player, bass player and keyboardist, and wind instruments: saxophone, shehnai, zorna & ney, and of course the Shulman duo working their electronic magic on computers and synthesizers. It presents unique sound textures combining the usual Shulman incredible compositions with ethnic elements, psychedelic rock, jazz and other eclectic musical touches. The outcome is an out of this world journey into Shulman’s weird universes, but with more organic and alive feel to it that makes it all seem very real. The album contains collaborations with Omar Faruk Tekbilek & Steve Shehan, Ishq, Sub6 & Michele Adamson and Lee Triffon (Eatliz).

Four minute samples are up on their website, check ‘em out. Sounds delicious! How ’bout that artwork!?

Track of the Day #038 – Omnimotion – Elves of Athoria

trwolfe — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:50:28 +0000

I recently picked up Omnimotion’s Dream Wide Awake. It’s been out for about 5 years now, and I must admit, I never gave it a far shot. And I don’t even know why, because it’s a damn fine album. Favorite tracks include: “Wide Awake” (with vocals by Krister Linder), “Cozy Life”, “Days of Silence”, and “Ton Image”. The entire album is sexy as hell and worthy of praise. Below is my favorite track on the album, “Elves of Athoria”. Anybody else love this album??

Got an email from my friend Danny, letting me know this artist named Pericles, who’s a close friend of his. Pretty good stuff. Check it out. Track is called “Heart Cove,” off of his album, Sun Beams. Pretty good.

Track of the Day #035 – Krusseldorf – First Blood

trwolfe — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:43:00 +0000

Okay, so I can’t stop listening to Krusseldorf’s new album, From Soil to Space. It’s just as good, if not better than, Bohemian Groove. I’m going to give the new album a few more listens before I can make that statement absolutely. But for now, take my word for it, the album is outstanding. Below is “First Blood”, track #4 off the new album. As always, enjoy!

Track of the Day #034 – Ishq – Diving Into Sun

trwolfe — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 17:01:22 +0000

As I mentioned in Track of the Day #031 talking about Open System’s new album, Sanyasin, Ishq has a new album out, titled: And Awake. Well, it’s been officially released! Review relatively soon, I’d imagine. Click here to purchase.

To celebrate the release, here is track #2, “Diving Into Sun.” This is vintage Ishq. It’s got a nice mixture of Orchid and Sama sounds. Enjoy!

Track of the Day #033 – Kliment – Airfia

trwolfe — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:24:35 +0000

Another underappreciated artist in my opinion in Kliment. His full-length album, The Perpetual Ritual, is a gem. Highly recommended. Here is “Airfia”, off a new compilation from Atmospheric Records, titled, Ethnoscapes. Kind of a different sound than The Perpetual Ritual, feels almost more Flooting Grooves-like. I dig it though. Cheers!

Track of the Day #032 – Kukan Dub Lagan – Pink the Floyd Remix

trwolfe — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 02:18:37 +0000

It doesn’t get much groovier than this. Here is Kukan Dub Lagan’s track, “Pink the Floyd Remix,” off the somewhat recently released Life Still Nice remix album. I’ll admit I haven’t much listened to Kukan Dub Lagan’s music all that much. It’s a bit too rasta for me on some songs, but this track is damn good. Enjoy!
