Genre: Acoustic, Ambient, Electronic: Glitch

I downloaded this EP while being assured that it was amazing. And how right they were.

Imachi Akira has released this EP on the Electronica net label, located in Siberia, Russia. It’s their ninth release over all and the content of this EP is simply sheer bliss and relaxation.

Akira uses elements of haunting ambient, ethereal sounds, acoustic guitars as well as noise samples, simple clicks and ticks. I suggest you listen to the whole EP from start to finish; you will not be disappointed.

Genre: Pop: Dream

This release is by a local artist. Visit this page for more information.

The album Dark Ages apparently was an unreleased album before it was picked up by the Maltese netlabel Pinkpube and released recently.

This release is well named. The songs, which mainly feature an acoustic guitar accompanied by ethereal guitar effects in the background, sound otherworldly and dark; a very good dream pop album.

Tracks of note include The End of Time and The Clown Song.

Genre: Jazz: Nu Jazz

Triplexity are a nu jazz ensemble with a difference, they have never met in real life. All musical collaborations have occured through the Internet. Triplexity are made up of the artists Nikila, SaReGaMa (who I’ve already featured on my blog) and Hamelin Bérengnier. It is probably due to each artist’s varied repertoire that Triplexity’s music manages to sound danceable, exotic and jazz all at the same time.

Between Light and Shadow is an interesting first album by Triplexity and a pleasure to listen to. Tracks of note include Coal Train, Lucky Number Seven and Honky Fonky. It is interesting to note each track’s original and different sound. For example, Calleso contains a saxophone solo over some interesting beats, while 1000 and I Nights sounds very Arabian.

The single is Afro Blue, an easy going track that was released before their next album Live in Triplex City. Despite the name, it is not a live album at all, which is a pity. It would be interesting to watch and listen to these artists live.

Live in Triplex City contains more of the same music that Triplexity is known for. Tracks of note include Easygoing Groove, a very apt title, Lise, which is a very lounge-sounding track and Afro Blue’s sister track, Afro Red. Fried Lil Chicken at the end of the track sounds like circus music, which was an unexpected end to the album.
