Jacob Harris - Who Weaves Bright Dreams / Safe Haven Harbours Multitudes

Jacob Harris - Who Weaves Bright Dreams / Safe Haven Harbours Multitudes

Two fantastic ambient drone releases here from the very talented Jacob Harris. The first 'Who Weaves Bright Dreams' is like a mix between Eluvium and Stars of the Lid and the second, 'Safe Haven Harbours Multitudes' is reminiscent of Tarantel. Both albums are superb examples in this particular field of music.

Royal Train - An Underwater Call / The Balcony Compositions

Royal Train - An Underwater Call / The Balcony Compositions

Two more albums here of excellent drone music. Both these albums are great examples of quite minimalistic ambient drone. 'An Underwater Call' is the deeper, quieter of the two where as 'The Balcony Compositions', just released, is much warmer and musical. Fans of both earlier and later Stars Of The Lid will most likely appreciate this music. Drone is not always an easy genre to get right but when its done well it can be very beautiful, relaxing and naturally draws you in. I feel 'The Balcony Compositions' does this particularly well.

Sigur ros - Munchen, Germany 21.02.2003

Sigur ros - Munchen, Germany 21.02.2003

New concert posted in un mastered section The Munchen show was perhaps one of the best shows of 2003 and rightly recieved a 10 minute standing ovation [link]
It should be noted this is a 128kbps but is very good quality considering. However i do feel the original could be improved enormously from a re-master, hint, hint - (if anyone has or knows a source for the loss less version it be very much appreciated by myself and a LOT of fans)

Sigur Rós - Firenze, Italy 24.11.2005 Re Master 09

Another exceptional concert both in content and sound quality, and pace. The only criticism would be that the drums clip slightly at their loudest and there is some audience chatter. It is still however a superb quality recording.

Sigur Rós - Gothenburg, Sweden 03.11.2005 Re Master 09

I think this concert will in time become known and loved as a classic in the collection of Sigur Ros fans. It easily stands out as the best show from 2005. All the usual attributes are there that make a great concert, crystal clear voice, wonderfully balanced instruments and amazing energy throughout but, what makes this one special is the bass. You really FEEL the bass as a tangible force beating on the ears. This may depend to some degree on listening through good headphones but nevertheless I think this is special. I love this concert!
