Mark.Nine brings a great set of tracks to the table. Very reminiscent of BoC, Mark.Nine utilizes breakbeats over washy synths that create a perfect mood for chilling out. This style could be called ‘inspirational breakbeat’. Artificial Horizon contains fifteen tracks that sort of fade into and out of your head, instilling a flying feeling. Very interesting for the detail oriented type, this is one of the best finds in quite a while.
Gas – Microscopic
Coming in at almost ten minutes, Gas brings us a moving downtempo track. Solid synth work with lots of reverb and delay carries us along over a well-chilled beat through a trip in the ambient zone.
Foolk – Bleep Bleep
A new ep from Foolk has been released. Foolk, formerly known as Foolcut, does a sort of hip hop / breakbeat / jazz thing thats difficult to describe. You just have to hear it. This ep brings three tracks of energetic electronic music to your ears. More organic and flowing than his previous release, but still in typical Foolcut style, the basslines fit perfectly with the almost glitched out synth / sample work. Track one, Bleep Bleep, sounds almost like a reworking of Royksopps ‘Eple’. Next is ‘Space Blues’, a chillout track with rap vox over it. Sounds perfect, I only wish I knew what the lyrics were. Or what language for that matter. Apologies in advance if they aren’t family friendly. The last track is a live version of Gorillaz ‘Clint Eastwood’.
All in all, this is a great release, especially combined with the previous one.
Thanks to Ladybird for sending me a note about this release.
Psychomental – Soulscapes EP
Six tracks of awesome classic trance! Psychomental does trance and does it well. If you like to move, then here is three quarters of an hour of nonstop beats and synths that will get your feet on the floor and moving like theres no tomorrow. Hmm, this will be perfect for my trance powered planetary propulsion system…
Pseudo-Jazz
A new track from me. A vaguely jazz like piece with some e-piano and guitar, stand up bass, chilled out drums etc. Enjoy.
Pimpkin
Here’s my halloween pumpkin. I think it turned out alright. 🙂
A new track from bahgheera
Finally after the longest creative dry spell in my own personal history, comes something halfway to being finished. I just grabbed random objects on / near my desk and started banging. Quantized most of it, then added some glitch effects near the end and basnoo – glitched out stomp style rhythms.
Two coffee mugs on my desk tapped with pencils;

Singing Crane – The Rising EP
Singing Crane has released a five track ep of his signature style electro. A mixup of breakbeats, trance, and decidedly eerie synth sounds take the listener on a moving trip through the cosmos of the mind. Beats that keep the listener paying attention mingle with classic synth sounds and an assortment of audio textures that tie it all together. Singing Crane also has a flash player at his site with lots of his other music. Check him out, and let him know what you think at The FLipside, a forum that he runs dedicated to the worlds greatest music production software, FL Studio.
Me and my new favorite band – Decyfer Down
Today I went to Shoutfest, a Christian music festival featuring artists such as Air Five, StorySide:B, and Matt Blair. The music was all pretty awesome for the most part, but Decyfer Down stole the show for me. Ever since learning of them about two months ago on 88.5 The Edge I’ve been listening to their cd End Of Grey almost nonstop. It’s been quite a while since I’ve listened to Christian music, or anything popular on the radio for that matter as you faithful few should know by now. Decyfer Down is a hard rock band, along the lines of Chevelle. It seems I’m coming back around in my musical taste to radio style rock, and this is a good place to start.
I was lucky enough to get to talk to a couple of the band members, who seemed pretty cool guys. I always try to avoid to much contact, cause I don’t want people to think I’m a crazed stalker fan, heh heh. I got some pretty decent pictures of the handful of songs they played and one awesome shot of me with them. Pretty stoked about meeting my latest rock heros. So here’s some shots below and check out Decyfer Down’s music at their myspace page. Yeah yeah I know… myspace! I’m going to break my own rule for once, just go there and listen to ‘Burn Back The Sun’ – thats the song that got me hooked.
Long time no see…
It’s been a busy summer what with my company being bought out and a little one who now can walk and explore places such as kitchen cabinets and eh… shall we say ‘sanitary fixtures’? Sorry there’s been no new music here for the last few but things are starting to slow down a bit so music posts should be picking up again. To start off, go check out Stephen Garton’s page. Stephen composes orchestral music. He has thirteen tracks on his site, but unfortunately they are not downloadable. But they are definitely worth listening to, just leave a browser window open in the background and let the sites flash player do the work.
If anyone still comes around these parts, if you know of a band or artist that has music on the web that deserves a mention here, then please by all means contact me. It takes quite a bit of time to search through all the music, worth posting and otherwise, that I come across on the web.
Thanks for remaining loyal readers of bahgheera’s orbit, stay tuned for more music.
