"Mignon"

Welcome To Zebraville - 2004
Debra and Laurent met in 2000 in a Parisian bistrot , rue lepic. Laurent was a composer and a sound designer and Debra, freshly out of the eurostar, a singer and voice over artist. So, it was natural for them to start experimenting musically together. Zebraville was born.

Virgin Souls

 
162 - 2003
An album with pure imagination and creative artistry.
Virgin Souls - 162 presents listeners with an atmosphere filled with emotion and a clearly distinct passion for music, as opposed to the generic electronic-ambient music of their contemporaries.

Clearly urbanised in sound, 162 offers more than one would expect to from an album in this genre and has something to offer every TRUE audiophile.(e-Bay)

Estimulante

Air control - 2001
Lost Balance is Isabel and Mariano's musical project. Sensitive and intimistic music. A blend of pop and experimentation, electronica and the analogical, noise and silence.
A constant exchange of instruments, voices, ideas... There are no formulas in Lost Balance. Each song is a living creature on its own and requires a different way of being treated.(World of Trip Hop)

Lusitanos

Electronico - 2002
Madredeus is a Portuguese band. Their music combines traditional Portuguese music (many times erroneously associated with the subgenre of Fado) with influences of modern folk music. The lyrics are often melancholic and related to the sea or travelling or absence, continuing a tradition of songs that dates back to Medieval times.(Wiki)

Long Live TripHop !!!

A Girls Wish EP - 2006
Influenced by the Bristol sound of the 90’s, Screenatorium mixes pop and jazz inspirations in order to create a melancolic trip hop, all accentuated by the voice of Nawel Saôdi.
Rythmic and melodic arrangement are completing the masterpiece of an emancipated trip hop far from the cliché usually used in this kind of musical style. For those who thought that trip hop was dead and burried, this is the evidence of the contrary… (Myspace)
