Aaron Parks - Invisible Cinema

Got to know this dude from accujazz radio. Everytime you get into the new school channel the only thing you are certain is that he's gonna be played sooner or latter. With plenty of reason.



Apparently it's something like indie meets jazz, and I'm sure it could fall in that description. I find it to be like fresh air in a genre that keeps on re-inventing itself, along the lines of E.S.T. or contemporary noise quintet. Maybe you won't agreed with me, but should try and give this dude a go anyway.
For the comprehensive guide tour on the pianist (kinda) you should pop around here.

Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize [dvd]

The new dvd from PT.

"Anesthetize has been picking up some good reviews. Over on the Blogcritics site, the way in which the camera work takes you deep into the band’s working environment is clearly appreciated. “With many of the shots filmed from behind Harrison's kit, you see everything from the double-bass movements of his feet during "Halo" to the all of those little cymbals and bells he hits during the intricate drum parts on "Anesthetize." Harrison's status as a world-class skinsman is no secret to PT fans of course. But seeing it up close and personal is a revelation.

Likewise, the contributions of keyboardist Richard Barbieri and bassist Colin Edwin come into much sharper focus here. On "Anesthetize," you hear Edwin playing bass parts you never even knew were there before, and the sweep of Barbieri's keyboards during songs like "Dark Matter" and "Sentimental" is so deep it nearly swallows you. On the latter, there is also a very cool shot near the song's end where the keys themselves are reflected in Barbieri's ever-present shades.”"

Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here -

Here it is the new Anathema album, at last!!! Mixed by Steven Wilson ;)!!

Deftones - "Diamond Eyes"

They are back and they are sounding better than ever...again!!
Great, great album!!
(PS - Hope that Chino's live perfomances are better again too)

Enjoy!!

Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can

This album was hailed as a folk album worthy of being compared to records written by Joni Mitchell. Which is quite the thing to get all blushed and proud, if you happen to be Laura Marling. I guess. But only because I think Joni Mitchell is one of those singers time will never forget. Getting out of track here.
Anyway, folk album, amazing voice and some really nice songs. If you're into folk.
But don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself.

pink martini - splendor in the grass

With three successful records under their belt, eclectic lounge-pop act Pink Martini will return October 13 with "Splendor in the Grass" on the band's own label, Heinz Records. Pink Martini's founder and director Thomas Lauderdale tells Billboard.com the album is "all over the map, but hopefully more cohesive than the last one ['Hey Eugene!']." A final track listing is currently being worked on as Lauderdale hopes to get back into the studio and record guest vocals from 90 year old Mexican rancheras singer Chavela Vargas and NPR correspondent Ari Shapiro.

Zee Avi

I´ve been listening to this everyday!! This is Leila´s credits for this awesome finding!!


Zee Avi is just 23 but she's an old soul. A huge talent in a petite frame bringing a universal message from the unlikely birthplace of Borneo, an ancient island east of Malaysia which remains an untouched, natural paradise, an apt description of her songs.

How Avi came to record her debut album in L.A., the first joint release from Ian Montone's Monotone Label and Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records, is a true 21st century tale of the way the Internet has transformed the music business and shrunk the globe in the process. http://www.zeeavi.com/

How do you keep love alive?

Provavelmente a solução mais difícil de se encontrar... mas a música ajuda a pensar na resposta...
Este é um cover do David Fonseca, original de Ryan Adams... permitam-me que partilhe aqui uma das músicas que mais gosto!

General Elektriks - Good City For Dreamers

Curiosamente descobri esta maltinha, numa daquelas noites de pókerzada, em que a mezzo foi a nossa banda sonora naquele dia.



Enjoy!!

Novos portugueses: B Fachada

Olá!
Este é o meu primeiro post, depois do convite do Pedro. Gosto sempre de dar cá um pulo, pois as sugestões são óptimas...
Agora aqui vai o meu contributo:
Faz parte da editora 'Flor Caveira', que edita entre outros, os Pontos Negros (os quais não convencem, nem com bolas de Berlim) e entre outros Baptistas... sim, meninos de bem. Mas, crenças à parte, este rapaz está a surgir em Portugal com uma sonoridade bem interessante. Pelo menos, diferente... que gosto bastante, e quero partilhar.
No quentinho, final de tarde... Ouçam bem...
