Lusine - Triple Door 18.04.2008

I don't anything about this guy other than he opened for Stars of the Lid and makes similar music but with some nice electronica mixed in. Really really nice stuff, very warm calm ambient, electronica. Highly recommended. Perfect quality.

edit: as I was posting something else I started listening to this and now I can't stop listening to it. This is some of the best ambient/electronica music I have heard in a longggggg time.

Nick Drake - Lost Boy - BBC2 Radio Documentary mp3

Something a little different -1 hour long BBC2 audio documentary about the life of Nick Drake. Worth it if only to hear the monologue by Brad Pitt. "Im Brad Pitt & Im a huge admirer of this English singer songwriter" (Joking apart, its really nice)

Ólafur Arnalds - The Star Live, Beijing 03.04.2010 - Audio + Video Full Concert

Finally we have a full concert of Ólafur Arnalds thanks to his kindly offering his last performance in China for free viewing. Although beset by technical problems, the Video and Audio is offered here complete (I think!) There is some slight clipping during louder parts but nothing to unduly worry about. The video offered here is the highest quality I could arrange, MP4. The audio I have Mastered to bring out the best. Bear in mind the source is from a webcast recording but I think you will be very happy with the quality.

Jónsi - 1Live Première Concert Performance - 01.04.2010

NB: Apologies, the date has been corrected

First posting of a full concert, and what a great concert! This was the first public performance by Jónsi and his new band. I was a little dubious at first at how well this would turn out but the mastering went very well. Quite a raw, unfocused performance but not in a bad way (they had only been practising for 3 weeks at this point) New Piano Song is definatly the highlight for me - Just wonderful.

Enjoy. Jon x

Anomie Belle - KEXP Radio Session 16.08.2009

My friend RRCM kindly pointed me in the direction of this little treasure so I had a listen and as a consequence Im now enjoying the album as well. Fantastic stuff. Her début album 'Sleeping Patterns' is just brilliant. To quote someone:

"Anomie Belle is the moniker of Portland composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Toby Campbell. Performing here with her band, she blends old-school trip-hop beats, live violin and socially conscious lyrics into a potent but chilled concoction well suited to late-night listening"

Jónsi - Unreleased Songs

Just to let you know at some point in the future I have been considering a project of sorts - to mix all the non-album tracks (from the various radio sessions & hopefully, upcoming concerts) as best I can into a complete 'CD' There has been a lot of comments about some really good songs not making it onto the final cut of 'Go' so I will try to mix/master the songs (as much as possible), into a consistently sounding, smooth flowing companion to 'Go' at a later date

Helios + Goldmund - Unreleased Music - WORLD EXCLUSIVE!

You may remember Keith Kindly let me post some unreleased tracks a while back from his personal Un-Mastered MP3 collection. [LINK] Im happy to announce he has released a new album of new previously Un-Heard Music from 2000-2009 called 'Unleft' I've heard some snippets & it sounds just beautiful. You can listen & order it from here:

http://www.unseen-music.com/shop/

(Do check out the album Keith allowed me to post. It took me a long time and lot of thought to mix it and it still stands as a very special and unique example of the many talents of Keith Kenniff. Included are tracks showcasing his guitar/electronica/ambient/ music skills as well as some un heard Goldmund Piano tracks)

Oh! Almost forgot - Ps check out this new video of Helios live: http://vimeo.com/9863414

I have it on good authority he will be releasing a 'Mastered' version of it! (hopefully!)

Sleepingdog - Southern Session + Video

Sleepingdog is a new and the most exciting discovery for me in a while so...

My 1st post about this band is further down the page or [HERE] including all relevant links. Here we have some alternative versions of the album (best listened too after you hear the album) The songs here are acoustic songs played very naturally in their living room.

The video (I dont know if its from the same session as above) is a very natural acoustic session lasting just under 1 hour and is in .flv format. (any play back issues just leave a comment)

Enjoy :)

The Album Leaf - Deaf Institute, Manchester 22.03.2010

An amazing concert with over 90 minutes of music playing to a packed house. This was Jimmy's 1st time playing in Manchester and he clearly enjoyed it. A quartet of classical musicians came to help play some of the songs from the RNCM. I think Jimmy really appreciated them being there. It was lovely to watch him stop playing and just stare up at the girls playing their parts with a rapt and appreciative attention.

I was road testing some new mics at this concert. The sound is fabulous and Im very happy with them BUT because the venue was very small and the bass was ridiculously loud and 'present' (no offence, just my personal view!) there is some 'fuzzy' distortion in the background, present at the lower end but, all in all its a great concert.
