Phour Trakk - Detour EP


Phour Trakk - Detour EP

label: iD.EOLOGY
style: downtempo, lounge, beats
released: 3.2005

Say you're in the mood to go out on a nice and relaxed little trip. Wouldn't it be cool to stretch your limbs in an equally smart and comfy vehicle that, on tops, does all the navigation for you while you just kick back and enjoy the ride? ... right!
In the shape of the "Detour EP", Phour Trakk's debut mini-album on iD.EOLOGY, we put a wheeler at your disposal that easily excels stylish sneakers, the embosomed Lex or any other means of travel of your choice. The baby of Cologne's chief chill-constructor and his buddy-mechanics Sick-E and Erekzion has a head of its own, branching off into thoughtful yet detached ambient here, taking the ample route to soulful lounge-beats via live bass and guitars there and occasionally stopping by vocals on a snowy evening, thus delivering you safe and refreshed at your destination.
'Speaking of destination', the buddha murmured, 'it's still the way around.'

tracklist:
01. Intro
02. Return of the Spirit
03. Die Elfen von New York
04. World behind your eyes (feat. Sick-E)
05. What you see
06. Interlude
07. Summerday (feat. Sick-E)
08. Battery Park 7 am (Part 1&2)
09. Stars
10. Schnee (feat. Erekzion)
11. Outro

Crepusculum - Sing On In Silhouettes


Crepusculum - Sing On In Silhouettes

label: 12rec
released: 24 December 2009
style: instrumental, folk, guitar, indie

Crepusculum is Fred Baty, a young lad well-known to those that have been around with 12rec. for a bit longer. His “Sky Diaries" EP was a huge success back then and makes hearts melt even today. The accompanying remix album (in cooperation with Zymogen netlabel) remains one of the most elaborate projects carried out at this place ever. We are more than happy to have Crepusculum back with his full-length debut “Sing on in Silhouettes”.
Although the title might point in another direction, nobody really sings on “Sing on in Silhouettes”. Fred Baty’s intricate, neo-baroque Folk music is as instrumental as it ever was. Still, Baty enhanced his palette of instruments and while “Sky Diaries” was an unpolished diamond, “Sing on in Silhouettes” sounds rich and timeless. Crepusculum bridges from John Fahey to XTC ca. 1986, bringing forth the melodic complexity of NWOBHM-pioneers Iron Maiden without being heavy at all.
On “Sing on in Silhouettes", Fred brings to perfection what was his trademark ever since. Kitsch and emotional weight, musical craftmanship and a self-taught comprehension in harmonics setting apart Crepusculum from all guitar music you might have heard before.
Eventually, there is some singing in silhouettes. For “Abaculus Perceptive” Crepusculum joins forces with Genevieve Schwartz and Julia Kotowski (a.k.a. Entertainment for the Braindead) who give out their lovely vocal harmonies. So wow.

tracklist:
1.A Fledgling Firework 04:47
2.Reflected On Clouds 05:07

Jeha - Digitalis

I like Když o nic nejde :)


Jeha - Digitalis

label: Royal-Flush
released: 02 January 2010
style: hip-hop, instrumentals, electronic, beats
country: Czech Republic

"Myšlenka vyrobit poslechové cd bez rapu či vokálů vznikla tak, že jsem udělal docela dost instrumentálek, které jsou na rap příliš složité nebo by mě tam rap i v některých případech sral. Ale moc by mě mrzelo, kdyby zůstaly nepoužité. Digitalis je látka ovlivňující srdeční činnost a zároveň moje pointa, že hudba ovlivňuje činnost srdce podle druhu, rychlosti atd. Taková Jehovská mystifikace, ke které ještě přihrává fakt, že je to místy „digitální“." Jeha
