GingerTom, "Music And The Movies 1"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a120418/music-and-the-movies-1

I see this as a tribute to Siskel and Ebert . .  two very wonderfully expressive and  innovative movie reviewers . .  who will always be missed . . . 

I am impressed as always by GingerTom's . . . ability to express an excellent story in words AND music . . . He has a vivid imagination and an ability to tell a story with a touch of humor and creativity . . . His music is spectacular and makes me think of grand vistas and celestial beauty . . .  He uses vocals and instruments with finesse . . . like a painting in the Sistine Chapel . . . wonderfully eloquent . . . peaceful . . .

I was mesmerized and enthralled by this track and I anticipate the rest of the story . . .

Tunguska Electronic Music Society, "Tunguska Chillout Grooves Vol. 9"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a120557/tunguska-chillout-grooves-vol.-9

This little album had the temerity to make me sit up and listen . . . although created to benefit the background mood and atmosphere of any situation . . . the music was creative and explorative enough to generate an impact on this listener . . . That's what I like and expect from Tunguska . . . something interesting and beautiful from all the musicians who offer their creative genius to this Society . . . . . music gives me colors and visions and I look for that and received it here, from this album . . . I am always suggesting, too, that people listen to their older albums also . . . especially the first bunch . . . as those were the faces of music which made me fall in love with this site and with Tunguska . . .

Everlasting Dream, "Until the end"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a120618/until-the-end

Dramatic and vibrant . . . beautiful and clear . . the story is told and the music is dear . . . 

This artist put a great deal of effort into this album; producing a sensitive and brilliant music . . . mostly soundtrack, and energized with emotions and feelings . ..  the vision is of a world empty of joy, despairing of understanding until somewhere, the dreams are filled with others . ..  and love finds its way to the fore . . . there are battles and there is darkness . .  but beyond the horizon is a light that guides us . .  and fills our hearts with hope . . .  I especially enjoyed the flowing sound collage of "Lost" which filled me with peace . . . and calm . . . for though lost . . there is always the anticipation of being "found" and the accompanying joy  . . .
