Lullaby
I bring you the wonderous sounds of Coraline! First a little about the production of these perfect little numbers. They were composed by the Bruno Coulais and sung by the choir of the Hungarian national radio and orchestra. Dosen't that already sound like a snowy patch of the earth were a precocious tiny girl will be enchanted into a strange and mystical world? Shut up! Yes it does!
This music is as delicate and fragile like the worlds smallest glass rose balancing on top of a tooth pick, which of course is ontop of the empire states building. That is pretty much how the movie is as well. The use of the steriophonic harps creates this lush dreamy atomspheric, and the beautiful vocal harmonization makes it impossible for you leave. I know the music is really short, but just put it on repeat. For me, This music reminds of my childhood. Finding strange pakistani artifacts in my parents attic. They would be covered in dust, and wraped in this brilliant vermillion sheet. Urns with strange writing, thready dolls and jewlry. The atmosphere gives me the feeling that life is boundless and magical at every turn. Where you never know where the next giant beanstalk will grow.
Listen to it on repeat.

Upward
"Bell Orchestre was born in a cave raised by a bearded, toothless hag."
That is on the biography page of the Bell Orchestre, my jam of the week. There album "Recording A Tape The Colour Of The Light" came out way back when in 2005 and was recorded at the same time and in the same studio as Arcade Fire's Funeral. There must have been some osmotic exhange of ideas, because this record is amazing. They sound like Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene without any lyrics. A plend of frenetic post-rock-pop awesomeness. Simply amazing instrumentation. They are coming out with a new album in March of 2009 and I can't wait.
I really hope you guys enjoy this song. Put this song on your ipod and go for walk and you'll be surpirsed how everything you see transforms into a beautiful experience. The dumpster with stylized grafetti finally speaks to you. Then that homeless guy you pass on your way to work, you realize is your lost lover of a past life. Ah the harmony. Seriously though, just listen to the song. Without doing anything else. It starts slow but ends with a cosmic explosion that other people around will feel and promplty ask, "What the hell rocked your world?"

Funk or Die
Lately I've been on this huge Funk and Afrobeat kick thanks to certain leather jacket doctor. So, listening to these tracks over the course of three weeks I've come to realize why Hip Hop and French House sample from this genre all the time. It all starts with the bass. Get a nice pair a of speakers and really hear it. It's alive and so energetic. There probably is some physiological explanation why booming low frequency = booty shaking. It gently rubs up next to you and caress you into a rhythmic slide. Then we come to the drumming. If you seriously want to know how influential funk drumming watch the video. Then we have guitar playing its rhythmic hooks and occasional soulful solos.
Funk represents balance. A balance so strong that can shake the sands of time covering up our petty differences. Funk.

Ease
The wrestling match is and over and you can't remember who won. A mellifluous vibration lifts you out of bed. As you slide your feet into your woven slipper; you can feel all the the strands, all the patterns within patterns taking shape and form. The ease settles in as the wind plays with your curtain. You saunter towards the window and you finally see it. You try to touch for distance has lost its meaning.
Tycho is a musican and graphic artist that hails from San Franscisco. I've fallen in love with this music. He sounds like a poppy more accesible Boards of Canada. Tycho serenades you with a dreamlike prehistoric soundtrack where when all things where in raw elemental form. Check out his website. Support this Artist.

Space Wonder
Duos seem to be huge hit espeically in the electronic relam and futurecop is no different. This duo is from Manchester England as you have heard create beautiful space wonder tunes. A mixture of warm chords and ice cold leads is a great reciepe for dance and space unicorns. In my world, that album cover reminds me of a forgotten space saga that even the scifi conventions forgot about. Or maybe its the never ending story in space. I hope you enjoy this track.

This is why the Earth was made
Sometimes when you wake up in the morning there is this intense sensatation that today will be the day you find out you are part of a lost lineage. The royal blood that runs in your veins has finally been realized. You will be adorned with a vermillion cape, and sienna hessian boots. Hurrah! With your head cocked at an 120 degree angle (see pic above) you march down the streets of antiquity to your anthem. I bring you, your anthem.
