Phvsr – Bassment

Phvsr - BassmentPhvsr offers us four tracks of well produced house music. Clocking in at just under half an hour, this release does what house music should do – get you moving. Good synth work, big fat square basses and grooving drum patterns all fit together snugly. I’m a big fan of beat drop outs and drop ins and syncopated basslines, and Phvsr definitely delivers with this release.

sleepmakeswaves – In Today Already Walks Tomorrow

Cover art

A beautiful and moving release, the band sleepmakeswaves from Sydney gives us almost forty minutes of sweeping ambience intermingled with heavy guitars. ‘In Today Already Walks Tomorrow’ is beyond post-rock, beyond progressive. These Aussies have invented something all their own. The music presented here is sometimes quiet and introspective, sometimes loud, rowdy and in your face. If you like The Big Sleep, Three, or Explosions in the Sky, then you will love sleepmakeswaves.

The World in panoramic – ViewAt.org

I have long been fascinated with panoramic photography, although my own experiments with the technique have been, eh, less than satisfactory. ViewAt.org has some beautiful, breathtaking panoramic photography of various locations throughout the world. The photos are arranged on a google map, and the site has it’s own viewer that lets you select standard or high resolution. Quick tip – you can use the arrow keys to move around in the photo, and shift and control to zoom in and out, respectivley.

Orange Crush – Autumn Reflections

Very mellow ambient electronica. The compositions in this release are astounding. If you like Boards of Canada then you are going to love Orange Crush. Moving pads swell and fade with subtle melodies fading in and out.

Die Russian spammers, die!!!

Ok, here is the scoop. Somehow bahgheera.com suffered a php injection attack. Basically, every single php file on the server has had a single line of code added to it that inserts a bunch of online gambling and viagara links into the page source.  I’m busy working on a script to remove the attack script, but I’m no php expert so it will take a while.  If any of you kind folks are into php programming and know how to help out, I sure would appreciate some pointers here and there.

If you do notice any fishy links littering the site, please believe me when I say I didn’t put them there and they are to be removed ASAP!

Thanks for all your support.

Cie – Bonbon E.P.

BonbonA house ep that doesn’t disappoint.  Clocking in at just under thirty minutes, this is a release that pushes all the right buttons, and scratches that techno itch in just the right spot. Track number five has got to be my favorite techno track so far this year, if for no other reason than the wobbly synth that goes crazy at about 3:40, jumping back out of the way just in time for the relentless beat to come back in.

Update

Dang! I’ve been busy with school for the last few months, it’s such a bummer. But I must do what I must, and for now the music blog is dead. :( But it will rise again…

I Am The Architect – 11

From the Lost Children netlabel we have I AM THE ARCHITECT. Post rock, but with a pop edge to it. Lots of catchy melodic goodness on this solid half hour of music. IATA has a lush full sound, with many more instruments than you usually find in the standard post rock fare. Synths, piano, flute, strings, orchestral instruments adorn each track perfectly. They sound a bit like Muse, with no vox. These four fellows stand out in the world of post rock, so definitely give them a listen, then let them know what you thought on their myspace.

Mark.Nine – In Memories

Mark.Nine blesses us again with five tracks of his typical light and airy ‘ambient breakbeat’.  The first track opens up with a wavering pad and a sci-fi audio sample that suddenly give way to a slow chill-out breakbeat and bassline. The rest of the EP follows suit, leaving us with a quiet and thoughtful feeling.

Part Rocket – In Limine

From the Lost Children netlabel comes Part Rocket with their release In Limine. Five tracks of chilled out post rock make an enjoyable half hour listening experience. Part Rocket likes to create huge builds, dischordant soundscapes and lots of ‘wall-of-sound’ type experiences.

Thanks to Marvin @ Free Albums Galore for pointing this release out.
