From Iceland to Eilean:
Gail Priest inspired by Iceland’s nature, Cicely Irvine’s Excavation and Eilean Records end-of-year compilation with exclusive unreleased tracksCicely Irvine‘s Excavation and Eilean Records end-of-year compilation with exclusive unreleased tracks .
Winter is coming: … a compilation of exclusive tracks on the Winter-Light label, and a Seetyca album inspired by the same season.
Twin Peaks inspired music: dark jazz from doom-crooners Dale Cooper Quartet & Dictaphones, and three compilation albums that start off a sixteen-part (!) series curated by Indie Rock Magazine.
Michel Banabila and Maarten Vos perform the soundtrack for Conny Janssen’s dance production “Home”….
Banabila also released a (vinyl) compilation called “Sound Years” (and gives away three download codes to commenters on this post!)
A collection of various compilations:
The Audiobulb label proves that intense beauty does exist * The renaissance of the Silent Records label continuing the From Here To Tranquility series * and a massive charity compilation titled Where Words Fail, Music Speaks
Michel Banabila‘s latest release, inspired by the Juno Jupiter mission * Cerfilic‘s quiet and unhurried string music resembles the work of The Stars of the Lid * and a massive (11+ hr) free anniversary gift from the Taâlem label.
A few compilations to start the year with: well- and lesserknown artists, a lot of unreleased material, and most of them offered as a free download too!
Featuring tracks from Boduf Songs, Jeff Bridges, The Notwist, Jordan De La Sierra and Sinikka Langeland , the march selection is not only hovering on the borders of sleep, but also on the borders of ‘ambient’ music.
Additional atmospheres created by Lauki, Markus Mehr, Ann Deveria, John Kannenberg, Hessien, Jasmine Guffond, Alphaxone, K. Novotny and Field Rotation.
Charity compilations come in all forms & sizes, but “Touched Two” is one of truly megalomaniac proportions. I really don’t know where to begin here. This “review” is the very first I ever write without having listened to the album at least a few times. How can anyone éver review a 255 track compilation that presents over 22 hours of music?
