SaReGaMa - "Spirits Of Ancestors" [EP]

Very fine dark ambient (8/10) Slow meditative soundscapes inspired by Native American culture. Spirits of Ancestors EP was selected for the soundtrack of OCEAN OF AN OLD MAN - an award-winning film that represented India at International Film festivals in Pusan, Cairo and Breda. 3 additional tracks that were composed especially for the film are available here. The audio quality of music offered on Jamendo in best case reaches 190 kbps, which is quite reasonable for evaluational purposes but definitely not enough to experience the richness of original sound (1411 kbps). If you'd like to feel how this music sounds for real you can obtain a lossless FLAC versionof this album on my website. This album is slightly different than other SaReGaMa's works - that is for sure. But, firstly, different does not mean worse. This recording is of equal very high quality. And secondly, this difference is not so big. Therefore, in my opinion, there is nothing to justify the harsh and dissapointed review of KraftiM and people who agreed to his review. KraftiM's arguments are absurd when one takes into consideration that he likes other works of SaReGaMa. He was nearly put asleep? This album is far more varied and dynamic than e.g "Bodhi Tree". It is "darkish experimental"? What a crime! Is it bad to experiment? Should all SaReGaMa's albums be identical? Is all dark music bad, simply because it is dark? Should all tunes in the world be full of pink fluffy bunnies and shiny happy faces? THIS would surely put ME asleep. KraftiM complaints about "annoying crickets"... Hello, anybody home? Aren't sounds of nature one of the most common and widely used features of ambient music? The tuba-like flute fits the other elements perfectly. And so on... So, to sum up, this is a very successful attempt at creating slightly more dark music, in accordance with the title. When you close your eyes you can almost feel those spirits gathering around you, which is the clearest evidence that SaReGaMa succeeded in what he had planned. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music. One thing I don't like is the fourth track, but the reason is it is too short, so the tune doesn't last long enough to develop properly and listeners don't have enough time to feel the mood. The album could end after the third track. You can also obtain a lossless FLAC versionof this album from the artist's website for a small donation.

SaReGaMa - "Three 4 Ten" [SP]

Perfect (10/10) This 10 beat track is a result of collaboration between 3 Jamendo artists: Nikila, SaReGaMa and Hamelin Bérengnier. You can find its enhanced version in Triplexity's album Between Light and Shadow. The audio quality of music offered on Jamendo in best case reaches 190 kbps, which is quite reasonable for evaluational purposes but definitely not enough to experience the richness of original sound (1411 kbps). If you'd like to feel how this music sounds for real you can obtain a lossless FLAC versionof this album on my website. Perfect mixture of ambient/downtempo with nujazz and world music. It's very short one-track-album, but the tune is so great, you can loop it and listen for hours without getting bored. You can also obtain a lossless FLAC versionof this album from the artist's website for a small donation. [Artist's website]

SaReGaMa - "4 Elements, the"

Instant classic (10/10) All things in the Universe are combination of matter and mind. The matter consists of four elements: Earth, Fire, Air and Water. All animals, plants, stones, emotions, inanimate objects, and energies are combinations of these elements. Everything has its own unique blend of the four elements in it: everything that has substance has earth in it; everything that has energy in it has fire; everything that flows and/or has feelings has water; and everything that involves sound, thinking, or communication has air in it. This album includes 3 new and 3 remastered tracks from an earlier release OBE (Out of Body Experience) plus the track Water released previously as a single. Videoclip of AIR - Kalimba solo can be watched here. Kora samples in the track Earth by the master Kora player Mamadou Diabate; balafon sounds by Bala Kouyaté. Santoor samples in Water by multi-instrumentalist and singer Manish Vyas. Kanun samples in OBE#2 by Hakan Güngör. Cedar flute sounds in OBE#3 by David R. Maracle. There's slight distortion on picks due to overcompression in some tracks, however the FLAC version is clean and dynamics are much better. The audio quality of music offered on Jamendo in best case reaches 190 kbps, which is quite reasonable for evaluational purposes but definitely not enough to experience the richness of original sound (1411 kbps). If you'd like to feel how this music sounds for real you can obtain a lossless FLAC versionof this album on my website. A masterpiece of ambient/downtempo electronica mixed with world music and rock. Absolutely essential for every fan of intelligent music. You can also obtain a lossless FLAC versionof this album from the artist's website for a small donation.

Triplexity - "Afro Blue" [SP]

Very good (8/10) NuJazz Ambient World Fusion composition based on Afro Blue theme by Mongo Santamaria. To purchase a commercial license for this track contact us here. Lossless FLAC version of our music can be obtained on triplexity.blogspot.com. That's only very good. Excuse me for this harsh ;-) review, but after the first album I hoped for a masterpiece. And this track is... nice... professional... well arranged... but it does not have a power of a ten-ton hammer like its predecessors. It's too easy and smooth. I hope it will be the worst on the next album.

Dragan - "Sashka's Song" [SP]

Really successful debut (7/10) Hello This is my first effort, at least as a complete author. Back, in the old days, I used to play drums only... The entire work is done on an inexpensive home equipment, so it may sound a little cheap, but I would really want to hear your opinion on this, whether it's good or bad... This song is named after my daughter's name Sashka (short from Alexandra). She is 5 years old and she is my main driving force. Thank you for listening and for your patience. Well done. Of course, it can be heard that it has been made on a cheap equipment, yet the artist almost managed to mask its limitations. While particular samples sound artificial, they are not so artificial as to completely ruin the whole track (what is not so easy in the genre of electronic ambient folk, which he has chosen). Further, the melody that Dragan composed is simple, yet beautiful, entertaining and atmospheric. And finally the vocals. Both singing and the melodic line are outstanding. Simply enchanting. To sum up, this is a really beautiful gift to his daughter. I would love to hear it re-recorded in a professional recording studio. People would surely think that Deep Forest released a new single.
