KraftiM - "JamatriX"

Nice ambient (8/10) Musictrade info: Jamatrix is the second full album release on Musictrade from the Dutch experimental electronica artist and sound architect KraftiM. The Jamatrix project was based on samples collected from five artists who all are releasing their music on the French Jamendo website. From each source track six samples were distilled and subjected to a thorough processing treatment, resulting in a matrix where each of the six KraftiM tracks uses material from five selected samples, one from each of the contributing artists. These are the contributing artists and their works being sampled: The Abogix (J.K.): "I dreamed... I was a bird" from album "Welcome in my Dreams" Arne Pahlke: "Projekt Demon" from album "Dunkel" Albert B: "Pichu's Suite" from single "Pichu's Suite" Melchiades Estrada Band: "Symbiose" from album "Music of Youth" pan:core: "Another Day, Call from Italy" from album "Breath On" Especially for this Jamendo release an intro, outro and bonustrack are added. These tracks won't be on the Musictrade/Mininova release. KraftiM thanks the above Jamendo collegues for their great trust and contribution. NOTE: a special 24bit audiophile version of the album is available as a torrent: 24 bit/44.1 kHz FLAC encoding, 472 MB download on Mininova.

Your works get better and better. This one, for the first time, has no weak points for me and the songs are of equal quality. Every track is very fine. It's pure ambient, but creative and full of interesting sounds, melodies and atmosphere.

KraftiM - "etSitara"

Almost flawless ethno-ambient (9/10) This is the official etSitara album, released as MT013 on www.musictrade.info Musictrade info: "Here comes the first full length Musictrade release from the Dutch experimental electronica artist and sound architect KraftiM. Modern western electronic sounds meet the serenity eastern instrumentalism on this album - think of a raga in a spaceship. From his first released tracks KraftiM has had a unique sound and a unique emotional atmosphere to his works, and this album is no exception. KraftiM is a musical travel agency specialized in surprise destinations. " Contributing artists: Krita Yuga (Japan) sitar on tracks 1, 4 till 11; KIGAS (Japan) violin on tracks 2,3 and4; Geechi (USA) vocals on track 3. Sleeve design: Doc etSitara features the tracks from the previously minialbum etSitara released here on Jamendo. This minialbum is removed to avoid double releases. Now this etSitara is KraftiM's fully "Japanese" album, due to the contributions of the Japanese artists KIGAS and Krita Yuga. A new long version of mRat is released, as well as Hamagito and Solyuga who are added to complete this oriental trip. Have fun... Note: a 24bit/44.1kHz audiophile version of this album is available on http://www.mininova.org/tor/1069597

Great ethno-ambient. Would be perfect if not for the track no. 3 "Hamagito", which is an older work of KraftiM - based on annoying speeches and not a particularly good tune.

However, the rest is GREAT and I encourage you to check it out - of course only if you're a fan of creative atmospheric electronic music.
