Fantastic downtempo/ambient (9/10) Macroform creates ambient, and experimental instrumental music with electronic and acoustic instruments.

Macroform resides in Troy, Ohio, USA. He is a musician who explores sound and experiments with a broad range of instruments including guitars, old Casio keyboards, African drums and percussion and found sounds and synthesizers. contact: paulshuler at gmail dot com This album is full of fantastic downtempo / ambient tunes. Sometimes a little experimental, but still smooth - no hardcore here. Great catchy melodies, nice soothing atmosphere, fine use of real instruments (or really really good samples). Never boring, like so many bad ambient productions. Just a pure feast for yer ears. Simon says: Check it out now! The highlights include: 1 Cold Day 2 Cool Grass 3 Canister 5 Leaves Fall P.S. Why not 10? 10 is given too often on Jamendo. Note that good albums start at 7... What's use for rating if every album gets 10?

Grammar - "EP"

Very fine ambient-based glitch (9/10)

With great pleasure we give in your hands debut EP of young American artist hidden under GRAMMAR nickname. Artist penetrates cold and distant areas of idm / glitch / abstract sounds establishing to scapes created by Autechre duo. Grammar ep gives us 20 minutes of highly organised chaos. You may ask: organised chaos? Yes! Ostensible minimalism and freezing cold compositions intertwine with highly extended and complex metalurgical backgrounds, spaces and surfaces. Unequal, rough beat blends with all kinds of cracks, glitches, snaps, clicks and smashes generating unique shape of records created by young American. Grammar first ep is dose of intelligent, melancholic electronics filled with tronic emotions. If you ever saw music in colours, Grammar sounds looks like blue light illuminating digital palettes of ice and mechanical colors.

Very fine ambient-based glitch. Calm and disturbing at the same time. Experimental, yet surprisingly accessible. Highly recommended work.

The album has been released by the 49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for downloading at archive.org in mp3 format.

Rastadeush - "Night Is Too Short"

Energetic techno - but not all tracks are equally fine (6/10)

second release at 49manekinow.net [49mannequines.net]. dirty astmatic terror electro-tech/techno from south silesia in poland. "night is too short" is LP recorded in 2006 by young silesian hooligan RASTADEUSH

It's energetic techno, mixing breakbeat, electro, dance - but not all tracks are equally fine. Almost half of the album (01, 03, 08, 10, 13-14) contains primitive, repetitive dance and electro pieces. But the rest is much much better - still energetic and danceable, but catchy and creative at the same time. So I still recommend checking this album out - some of the tracks are top class. Rastadeush is really talented, if only he stopped trying to satisfy primitive disco lovers.

Williamson - "A Few Things To Hear Before We All Blow Up"

Thank gods for a review system (8/10) Full of beautiful hooks and entrancing rhythms, A Few Things To Hear Before We All Blow Up is the "electronic-indie-space-pop," release from a group of extremely talented musician-hermits from Berkeley, California. Like silk from a spider's butt, Williamson spins out glistening strands of melody and emotion that slowly evolve into gorgeously mesmerizing configurations of sound. Listeners have described it as being "the soundtrack to my brain waves" and "drenched in gentleness." Highly recommended for fans of Sugar Plant, Four Tet, Marumari, Sigur Ros, and Transient Waves. Thank god for a review system! Why? Because this album did not catch my ear on the first listen. I thought "nice, pleasant, too smooth". And would maybe ignore it, but I looked through the enthusiastic reviews and decided to give it another try. Good for me. Because this is really very good record! I will not go deep into details, because my predecessors said it all. It's flawlessly recorded downtempo, with very classical - I'd say - approach: without many strange sounds, broken beats, experiments but with real instruments. Very calm, atmospheric and soothing music. It may be too warm and peaceful for some, but everyone must admit that this is first-class recording. Check it out. I won't mention particular tracks, because this is very even album. A lossless version of the album is available on Magnatune.

Antybiotix - "Flying Inside Your Mind"

Nice calm electronica (8/10) Few years ago, few quiet people from few small cities in Poland meet together to give free rein to them creative minds. Some of them was connected with reggae scene, some of them are polish pioneers of experimental / noise formulas. They grasp some vibrant instruments some electronic machines and they started to play. Flying inside your mind is an effect of them seekings. Beautiful, deep, narcotic trip into your mind kept in experimental dub style. Slow diving waves of sounds intertwine with psychedelic reggae spaces, psychedelic reggae turn into experimental dub structures, dub forms changes into sounds which could be described as ancestors of dubstep. Highly recommended stuff for people who like to chill. Nice electronica mixing dubstep and downtempo. The album has been released by the 49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for downloading at archive.org in mp3 format.
