Slava brings us some dark, ambient sounds. I’m not sure how to classify this one, it’s experimental but not *too* experimental. Slava crosses the line into the realm of the weird, but doesn’t go too far on Sunflower. A range of styles are represented here - ambient, breakbeat, electro-blues, jazz, d’n'b, a little bit of everything is on the table. This is a strange pick for me, but it’s doing the job - keeping my ears happy.

Slava - Sunflower

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.

One single track, weighing in at just under twenty one minutes, it’s like moving through a tunnel - the entrance starts at a cold, technological and sterile environment. The exit is completely opposite, a lush organic aurally rich world of melodies and textures. This is a pleasant train ride through a mountain of possible sound.

This set of tracks has a dark, sort of industrial, feel to it. Sparse at times, dense at others, the music throughout has a deeply disturbing feel to it. Droning bass pads and hip hop drum samples accompany a variety of sounds, including Dr. Martin Luther King, robotic vocals, and other, more disturbing, noises. I usually don’t care for experimental stuff, but Kali Frogz is an exception. Only five tracks, this EP clocks in at almost thirty four minutes. Best to listen to in a dark room with no disturbances.

Soft mellow sounds compliment ambient guitar. I’m not usually a fan of ambient music but this has a feel to it that’s catchy and ominous. A perfect release to fall asleep to.

A dash of Hearts of Space, a pinch of industrial, and a generous helping of pure weirdness. I suppose this could only be classified as Ambient Experimental Space Rock. Maybe? These guys are definitely worth a listen.
