Jazz-tinged chordal progressions, but using unexpected sounds and textures. Intimate, atmospheric, and highly autobiographical. |  DAUGHTER DARLING: sweet shadows - This trip hop release has been described as a more "song oriented Portishead", and "a revelation for 2003."

 GRAPHIC RECLINER: air borneo - Ever notice how much tension you carry in your face? Your eyes, even? Ever really felt that place behind your eyes let go and in turn, feel your brain unclench? Graphic Recliner is the necessary soundtrack for that kind of cellular relaxation- that wonderful swimmy feeling in your head. With a deep, resonant and yes, even beautiful, mix of electronic and acoustic instruments, "Air Borneo" is like that warm flame that melts the pockets of compression in your thoughts. A dreamy, drifty and yet far from complacent album that, in the end, doesn't neglect to be interesting and intriguing. |  CURRENT: communion - For the ambient electronic fan, these liquidy, rich and imaginative tracks are like a bubble bath for your brain. With a knack for lulling the senses and leading the thoughts into a place of repetitious relaxation and cyclic "chill," Current (an also very appropriately named title) weaves fluid and yet innately groovy instrumentals that scrub out the cobwebs from an overloaded noggin. If Biosphere or Kraftwerk sparks your interest, check this one out. |  JOSHUA SITRON: biblical digital - From epic, dramatic, thunderous and sweeping like a film score to intimate, visceral, well-directed plaintive lines, this electronic album encompasses a full spectum of light and dark, of mind and emotion, simply rotating around creativity and musical voice rather than any particular genre indications. With care, the album is described by the artist as, "If Moby's "Play" were entitled 'Cry.'" From a personal, spiritual awakening, the music is pushed forward with inspiration such as Tribal chants of Sioux warriors, Hasidic Jews, and Tuvan monks upon a foundation of lush electronica. |  SUSHIROBO: the light-fingered feeling of sushirobo - Lovingly described by the band as, "Retro-futuristic, jet-fueled art punk designed for analog robots," there's one thing for certain: this is a deliciously-weird album that exceeds your daily allowance for abstract, anti-mainstream, indulgent art. Basking in dissonant, quirky, lopsided, tweaky themes and playing dangerously with a cartoonish, comic strip-animated, intergalactic spunk, Sushirobo is a choice escape from the mundane, assembly-line mediocrity of pop culture. While at its base it is electronic, its deconstructive tendencies make for a totally unpredictable, cosmic mind-trip that somehow stirs images of fractals, psychedelic spirals, the Jetsons and anime. |  MOONRAKER: moonraker - Becoming a CD Baby staff favorite is no small achievement, yet this jazzy, electronic, trip hop-enriched group quickly made the ultimate impression on both our editors upon first listen. Once again, for the third time, this is an album not to be missed by any fan of Portishead or Massive Attack, not to mention intelligent Electronica in general. Silk-lined with acid jazz essence, pillowy Soul padding, funky, danceable grooves and blessed with a Goddess-of-a-vocalist whose voice could finish off the polar ice caps, Moonraker continues to be a band that I personally recommend to discriminating listeners almost every single day. Feels like a spa for the soul. | | ||||||||||||||||
