| 7 jan 2005 Some great new selections were added to the downbeat stream from Alphawezen's "En Passant" CD. It's another downbeat gem from the fine store Humpty.de. One review says "To translate yearning and dreams of faraway sceneries into beautiful and unheard sounds is what makes pop duo Alphawezen aka Ernst Wawra and Asu Yalcindag so special. Their second album „en passant“ (succeeding their fine effort „ L’Après-Midi d’un Microphone“ / Mole Listening Pearls, 2001) comprises of 12 songs full of fleeting moments, the basic mood of which swings between soothing melancholy and mellow serenity." You can read more and hear samples at http://www.holophon.com/en/disco/hphon0062.html Also selections from a new CD from the excellent group Lemongrass called "Solaire Fleur". From the Mole label site "The sunflower is a very special part of creation. It is graceful and proud. Despite all its beauty it is not just a treat for the eye but it also offers a lot of other values. "Fleur solaire" is called the latest CD of Roland Voss – founder of Lemongrass – a title that obligates. When you put "Fleur solaire” in the CD player you will feel like a field of sunflowers that follow the sun like the mirrors of a solar power plant to absorb as much power as they can. Roland Voss manages as usual to pull the listener into his spell. With Jungle, TripHop, Downbeat and the best of Lounge sound, Roland Voss takes you on a journey into a dream world of music. Chill-out for your body and wellness for your soul. “Fleur solaire”, that also contains a few House elements, is good for active listening as well as relaxing background music and will soon be an integral part of your life. Once the CD stops there is an emptiness that can only be filled by pressing the play button again. Lemongrass has again done a very good job and has proven his impressive versatility. All in all the CD contains 14 titles that are varied, melodious, and rhythmic and that compose a great masterpiece. Lately I have been fascinated by a group called Bent. I added selections from Bent's CD "Ariels". From the BBC site "There's a time for doing your head in with hours of loud music in a hectic club, then there's a time for soft, gentle chill-out tunes to recuperate to (usually straight after). Bent, in case you didn't know, make the latter type.

Thanks to TrancePorter for that excellent CD. It was a present to yours truly. |
