Info:
The duo of Jason Kohnen and Gideon Kiers originally formed The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble around the turn of the century and started out by creating soundtracks to moody silent films such as Murnau's Nosferatu and Lang's Metropolis. In the meantime, they've added several new members and have said that their debut album is particularly inspired by the work of the Brothers Quay, and their dark forms of electronic jazz seem to provide a pretty good backdrop to the creepy short films of the elusive pair.

Info:
After nine months of work, collaboration, and love of music, Tryad, a truly intercontinental musical band, releases their first album, Public Domain. Filled with genre-bending, spectacular work, each song fills up and bursts with what it offers.

From the opening salvo of 'The Final Rewind' and 'I See,' to the soft, thoughtful moods of 'Star Guide' and 'The Rising,' and even to the pseudo-sixties Beatles-esque 'Peace On Earth (Same Place),' all the songs work either in chorus or by themselves, and create a tapestry of sound.

(includes 320k MP3 versions of all tracks on the album and front and back covers in high resolution for easy printing)

Group members (in alphabetical order): Arna, ema, John Holowach, rjmarshall, vavrek

Info:
"Hikari", published on iD.EOLOGY, casts one look forward and two looks back. Warm pads meet rattling swishbeats, the earthy sound of wood contrasts the crisp tone of metal, while LTJ Bukem and Roni Size shake hands in front our inner ear. Indications of far-eastern harmonies touch the tracks as lightly as a soft breeze and carry our thoughts off to mysterious places full of exotic beauty, just to transport them back to western culture with elegic pop-vocals the very next moment.

When this trip is about to end you notice how much inspiration for the inner cinema there still is to be found in drum'n'bass these days, while at the same time you wonder whether there might also be some new sides to the more physical qualities of the genre to discover. More on that on "Yamiyo".
