Description: it's finally out for pay-what-you-want download! Description, taken from the Bandcamp page: From September to December 2011, EUS (Costa Rica), Postdrome (UK) & Saåad (France) came together to explore their shared visions of drone and ambient music. The result is Sustained Layers, a 44 min introspective work formed by carefully assembled layers of drones, field recordings and blurred melodies. This collaboration was made possible by the constant experimentation and improvisation that took place throughout recordings, and distance becomes a key part of the record as the time zones separating the artists shaped the progression of the album entirely.

Like A Villain​ & The Early - Split

Like A Villain​ & The Early - Split

Genre: Avant-Garde

Format: mp3 | CBR320kbps

Country: USA

Size: 88 Mb

Tracklist:

01. Like A Villain - Mystics Vs. Skesis Conjunction of the Three Suns Revival

02. Like A Villain- I Love You Pikachu  

03. Like A Villain - For Reasons Still Unknown 

04. The Early - Nome 

05. The Early - John Brown  

Description: You might have already heard of Like a Villain, if you like musical explorations through last.fm. This is a project of Holland Andrews from Portland, Oregon, creating "ethereal melodies of melancholy and strangeness". Her music is an experimental mix of instrumental melodies and singing, sometimes hypnotic, sometimes very emotional, and at the same time quite innovative. Call it avant-garde or post-whatever, or just enjoy the tracks. Having previously released two albums, Like a Villain now decided to collaborate with another project from Portland, The Early, for a split album, released by Friends For Life Records. The Early is a full-band of two guitarists and a drummer producing experimental semi-improvisational (or even fully improvisational) instrumental madness. I would call it post-rock, and hopefully this doesn't create the clichéd image of this genre in your head. Anyways, both parts of the split are united by the main idea of experiments in music, and surprisingly this is a very good, enjoyable record, that makes you want to re-listen it over again.

09. Emilelodie
10. Isaac's Dream of Tired Streets

Description: couldn't help posting this album, because it is so very special! Emphemetry is Richard ‘Biff’ Birkin, born in Derby in 1982. This album is a carefully arranged blend of genres, impossible to be described in one word. You can hear ambient passages, piano instrumentals, calm acoustic singer-songwriter material. The new album from Emphemetry features ambient swells of guitars, intimate folk songs, a string quartet, strange sounds, tape delay, reverse loops, pianos, and a haunted acappella quintet. 
"Variations of Ambience" could be another title to this great record. Another intriguing fact is that this album was mixed (plus additional production) by Nils Frahm at Durton Studio, Berlin. Are you still thinking?

16. Тиша

17. Палаючий шлях

Description: today I'll share with you a very unusual and rare album. Вежа Хмар (A Tower of Clouds, in translation) was a band from Ukraine, who characterized their own music as ritual folk. It is actually a very good definition, but one can hear notes of dark folk and ambient in their music. Based mostly on folklor, this music is not folk music in wide understanding. Hazy ambient sound of instruments is combined with rhythmic, sometimes monotonous female vocals, it really does create an atmosphere of some kind of ritual. A Very inspiring record, even though it wouldn't be good for everyone, I'm pretty sure, that you've never heard anything like this before. Try it!

Description: 2012 was the year when the album ''Izvan Sopstva'' (Beyond Self) was finished. ''That was the crown of creation, the goal the was yearning to be achieved. The whole concept of album was very deep, and it contained the expression of inner jouney into the unknown spaces of ''self'' concept and enlightenment that was the part of personal experience and will to explore hidden, beautiful and hard paths that leads to the unspeakable.'' For Slavnik this was the oppening of a new gate that waits to be explored, yet new step will be very difficult.

Description: It's Not Boring. It's Ambient is a double CD compilation of Ukrainian and Polish ambient artists released as a collaboration between Preserved Sound in Kraków (www.preservedsound.com) and AZH Promo in Kyiv (www.azh.com.ua/promo). The idea for the compilation came in autumn 2011 when the guys at Preserved Sound talked about doing a compilation of Polish ambient artists. After contacting friends at AZH Promo in Kyiv it became clear that they had also been having the same ideas about releasing a compilation of Ukrainian ambient artists. Thus It's Not Boring. It's Ambient was born.

Bringing together some of the best ambient music from around the region, It's Not Boring. It's Ambient aims to cross borders to present an ecletic mix of the genre that has become known as 'ambient'. Artists on the compilation include sound composer Heinali and electronic artist Nikolaienko from Ukraine, as well as improvised music artist Emiter and experimental musician Pleq from Poland, amongst many more.

It's Not Boring. It's Ambient was released at Les Kurbas theatre, Kyiv on 10 February 2012 at an event which Lights Dim, Heinali and Visionary Hours also played. Our aim is to show that music can cross borders where politics fails, and bring together some of these artists from Ukraine and Poland for concerts.

Description: a brand new split album from two friendly electronic artists, edPorth and aiRless pRoject, that will bring you to the other side of chill. edPorth is the solo-project by Patrizio Piastra, an italian electronic musician. Music from edPorth blends ambient soundscapes, idm beats and distant dreamy vocals, always designing obsessive melodies and sounds that move between dance loops and electro-ambient backgrounds. A couple of words to say about aiRless pRoject, who has already been featured on Hidden Vibes. His style varies and evolves within his albums, and could be described as ambient-influenced electronica with subtle touches of IDM, downtempo/chillout, abstract, glitch, post-rock and experimental.

"Echotron" is a unique mix of deep ambient soundscapes and retro lounge/exotica tracks featuring analog synths and drum machines. The tracks are arranged like an LP with the ambient material on "Side A" while "Side B" features the more beat-oriented tracks. Depending on your musical interests you're bound to enjoy at least one side of this "virtual LP," maybe both?
