Abraham Barrera - Quinteto de Ensueno - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A brilliant composer and an incredibly inspired and proficient jazz pianist, Abraham Barrera is a name to remember. Although his capacity for creation seems to know no boundaries and he composes and performs non-stop, he pours his soul in each project and it often becomes an obsessive journey in the search for his vision. This recording documents the collaboration of three of the most relevant jazzmen in Mexico's musical scene; along with Aarón Cruz, at the double Bass and Hernán Hecht at the drums, Barrera's music acquires a dimension of depth that can only be obtained by years of uninterrupted complicity onstage and at the studio. Each piece in this album tells part of the unique story that is Abraham's own very Mexican life and his Lebanese roots. The title of the album, InchNasser,Inch is a family name, so mid-eastern melodic references abound; a sophisticated palette that blends very well with an evident interest in contemporary sonorities. A production that refers us to the greats, an emerging international jazz performer with a unique compositional voice... What more could we ask for?

2010 from the British Electronica duo. Somatic Responses are aurally focused on complex, dislocated and broken beats, distorted intelligent constructions, fascinating sonic structures, force and sweetness enlaced. Their early productions' main focus were on Hardcore and Techno, later on they expanded the musical regions up to Electro, Dubstep, and even Breakcore territories. As a diligent confluence of these styles, Neon is a dark, claiming kaleidoscope of state-of-the-art electronic sound mastery. Dubstep beats are combined with dark ambience and manipulated voice samples. Fast, heavy break beats are mixed with distorted synthesizer lines creating an industrial music flair. Drum 'n' Bass meets Electro sequences. This album shows how these icons of the challenging Electronic scene are still able to open their ears and tap fresh ideas from today's music sensibilities.
