Carl Sagan’s Ghost « At the End of It All »

Carl Sagan’s Ghost is an ambient music project of the American composer Daniel J. Davis. With a name like this it is obvious that I need to show it to you!

At the End of It All is an album from 2009.

At the End of It All was released on 4th of December in 2008 on the netlabel Soft Phase under a Creative Commons license.

The music is a very quiet electronic ambient album. It has a drone in most of its tracks with very subdued melodies and - at least to me - an early eighties feeling. Some of the tracks seem like Vangelis making space drone. Most critics gave this album rave reviews. It deserves a whole lot of the appreciation but unless you’re in a somewhat meditative or relaxed mood it may not carry you through its entire length. Beyond that it is just wonderful.

Kiss the Dolphin was released March 27th 2009. It's style is… well, unpredictable is the world that comes to mind. Techno, big beat, chipcore, breakcore, glitch are half-useful to describe the cornerstones of his music. I especially liked the name, as I don't eat rabbits but would like the chance to try and kiss a dolphin…

Halo Effect « Hammer the Gear »

Being a long-term Depeche Mode fan myself, bands highlighting the now classic period of DM as the world's foremost synth pop band in the second half of the 1980s have long held a special interest to me. But not everything can be considered a success. Here, Italian band Halo Effect finally reached a level that their music can be recommended.
