Reboot - 2009
Thomas Kosidis a.k.a Blue Pilots Project was born in Thessalonica in 1972. He grew up listening the music of the 'world'. From classic to psychedelic music. His relationship with the conservatoire of Thessalonica ended very soon and then he set his first studio at the industrial area of his hometown and he started his journey to the analog psychedelic sound. Piano, guitars, percussion and later the use of computer created the unique sound of Blue Pilots Project. (Discogs)28 maio 2010

Balance of the Force - 1999
Waldeck's work is similar earthy downtempo, though many of his productions reflect the recruitment of vocalists, similar to Massive Attack. After contributing a track to the Spray compilation The Eclectic Sound of Vienna, Waldeck released his debut full-length Balance of the Force in 1999. Sometimes described as trip-hop Waldeck's songs have a very calm and laidback theme. They often consist of mellow vocals sung either by Joy Malcolm or Brian Amos, among others.

Constructions: Sofa Surfers Remixed And Dubbed - 2000
Sofa Surfers expertly illuminate the dark side of a world with no easy answers -- and they do it with style.Após 2005 mudaram de estilo, lamentávelmente... para mim.
Imprescindível
Suzuki - 2000
A charming record at every listening. It has a certain classical depth that is largely uncommon to average dub downtempo affairs. It's made of original compositions by Dorfmeister and Huebner, soothing, languid, sophisticated and light. A must for all Downtempo fans.(Discogs)

May, 19, 1992
Mexican-American poet and vocalist Ingrid Chavez, born in 1965, was a Prince protégé from 1987 to 1991, and was married to David Sylvian from 1992 to 2005. Her debut album was initially intended to just set her spoken-word poetry to atmospheric music supplied by Prince, but when Warner Brothers pushed for the album to have sung vocals, Prince abandoned the project, so half of the album ended up as intended, and the remainder consisted of pop songs co-produced by Ingrid with Prince's studio hands Michael Koppelman and Levi Seacer Jr. Chavez also wrote the bulk of Madonna's hit "Justify My Love", and received a large out-of-court settlement for not being credited on that single's initial release. In later years, Chavez focused on parenthood and photography, and occasionally contributed vocals to various David Sylvian releases.(Discogs)
Fabulosa !!!
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill - 1998
Hip-hop queen and international soul sensation Lauryn Hill is an ‘artist’ of the truest type, inspiring millions as a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer, musician and film actress. Born in South Orange, New Jersey, Hill early established herself as one of music’s most brilliant vocalists while performing in The Fugees, with songs such as “Killing Me Softly with His Song” solidifying the singer’s worldwide acclaim. Her incredible career as a solo artist began in 1998 with the release of her six-time platinum The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, a neo soul masterpiece which by the end of the year topped virtually every “best of” list in the industry and took home a staggering five Grammy Awards - Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song ("Doo Wop (That Thing)") and Best R&B Album - establishing Lauryn Hill as the first woman to ever win five of the awards in a single year.

Flying Away - 1997
One of my favorite bands ( Subscrevo!). Flying Away was their first, Heroes of nature their second. Flying Away was re-released in 2001 after much acclaim. This is really a cult band too, but the inclusion of Underwater Love on many compilations in the early 2000-2002 and late 90's as well as a Levi's ad in Europe saw them reach a new audience.Sobre estes quero acrescentar: "sabe a pouco..."
Transcendente !!!
Yessongs - 1973
Yes is, for a very good reason, my second favourite band on this planet.Pretty simple really. Just listen to anything that Yes did in the '60's or '70's and you're bound to see why (unless of course you've been blinded by modern society).
Subscrevo total!!
Quem não conhece, dêm-lhes uma oportunidade. Não se arrependerão!
Aqui fica uma pequena amostra (ao vivo) ilustradora de todo o seu talento.
For the record, é o meu album preferido deles.

Clássico do Trip Hop?
Londinium - 1996
As far as Trip Hop goes, this has got to be one of the most underestimated albums ever! Right up there with Portishead's "dummy", Lamb's first album and Massive Attack. It is a very strong combination of beautiful female vocals and a male hiphop vocalist. At first this causes friction, but after a few times you won't have it any other way.
Also the keyboard solos at the end of most tracks are overwhelming, reminding me of the best Pink Floyd stuff.
This album should have been a classic!

Nine Songs - 2001
Micatone is the best example of what should be called real modern jazz - every track is different, what combined with true proffesionalism, delicacy and vehemence makes that their music can be listened all along.Nine Songs delivers eight full tracks of jazzstep goodness, all bolstered by Lisa Bassenge’s slinky vocals. “Step into the Gallery” speeds along at a head-rocking, finger-snapping pace, and Bassenge keeps up without losing a step. Strangely enough, “Tranquilo” is not tranquil at all; for mellow, you’ll have to turn to “A Part of Me.” There’s a tech sheen and smoothness on “Playmobile Soldier,” which, despite its odd conceit, works marvelously well. The final track, “Torture,” is anything but tortuous: it’s a laidback track that glides away into space.(discogs)

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts - 1981
Quando estes dois mestres se juntam... resulta nisto!
"Brian Eno and David Byrne's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts appears downright visionary. With its "found" vocals, cut-and-paste arrangements, funked-up rhythms and embrace of influences from all around the globe, the duo's controversial work anticipated the creative cross-pollination and technological innovation of contemporary dance music, world music, hip hop and alternative rock. You can hear echoes of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts in the anthems Moby built around vintage vocal samples, in the outrageously exotic beats of Missy Elliot and Timbaland, in the Middle Eastern accented chill-out tracks of Thievery Corporation or Bjork's otherworldly soundscapes."14 maio 2010

Reformation - 2005
Break Reform released their debut album, ‘Fractures’ in 2003. It was one of the biggest selling underground albums from the U.K that year. Receiving licenses in Japan and Spain and re-pressed 4 times, the beautifully simple lyrics of Nanar and the streetwise and sublime production skills of JJ and Simon S hit a true chord with the record buying cognoscenti.Imperdível !!
