Dananjay Anandan — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:51:57 PST

Electroacoustic. That’s the word that best describes Jerusalem-based Sasha Raskin’s sound, a seamless blend of classical instruments and electronic noise.

“Only Music” mixes drum n’ bass rhythms and synths with everything from blasts of fat brass and funked-out guitars to plucked violin strings and jazzy saxophone lines. Download it here.

Endless Knots: Delta Sounds by The B Regiment

Deeply influenced by the sights and sounds and inhabitants of the bustling capital city Faisal Khan
manages to capture the essence of Dhaka as well as the rivers that sustain it. The music can be
classified as Electronic, but only in the methods of production, because the sound is fresh as the morning catch.

This is music that is native to the most fertile delta on Earth and it is also straight from the heart
of a man who knows of what the water speaks. Hear it now!

Across Town by Derek Clegg

Dananjay Anandan — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 04:50:58 PDT

Across Town is a limpid and sparkling work performed with the free-wheeling ease of the natural that we have come to associate with Derek. The orchestration here is more complex and nuanced with modern country stylings, and Derek reaches in even further than usual for the words. Dive in.

Derek has dedicated this album to the loving memory of his brother Kevin J. Clegg.

Nine starts with the almost hesitantly paced, electronic number by 4our5ive6ix and the banjo-led track by Lothian 121 and then crashes into ‘all in’, rock outs with tracks 3 through 5 before finally joining Pete Davis and John Burns in their worlds of soothing melodies and poignant lyrics.
