This is an album selected from Jamendo . . . an older offering but so delightful . . .

For this album, as "orangeupurple" I commented:

"Jazzy, bluesy, world . . . sunny, happy . . . music full of sparkling blue skies . . . and poppy music . .. an amalgam of many genre's under this lovely album cover. We went from the graceful and happy ethnic tune, "Warm your feet," to a gorgeous, dreamy song, "Lost in a daydream" with so much richness added by way of lovely percussion, flutes, beautiful strokes painted in with ethnic vocals, and carefully chosen instruments to add a world flavor. If I were to pick one tag for this album I would pick "sunny" = bright + cheerful = uplifting . . . I loved the personable and outstanding female singer in "Cool like ice hot like fire." "Follow me" a little bit of uplifting reggae/hip-hop with some great atmospheric sounds and a nice level tune . . . "Lonely hunter," was just so potent, an almost ambient tune which had a very strikingly touching melody. I wish I had the time to describe all the songs on this album . . . there wasn't a single one that missed the mark. They all were carefully crafted to fit into this "Lovely" sunshiny album . . . ready to pounce on the low spirits and lift them up into the beautiful blue and warm loving places. This album was a true joy to the listening soul. M^^W"

****

This album is newer and offered on Bandcamp. It has a throbbing Asian feel and the taste of exotic spices, with the chill of Eastern instruments and the welcome of formal, calming melodies.

EIVISSA SALINAS feat. DJ HSERES, "Savage Summer"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a122112/savage-summer

This song was way too sexy to play for my young students, but it certainly was a delightful listen this morning, for me . . . wakes you up and not only turns you on but moves your energies into dance mode . . . I loved the horn interludes . . . and the feeling of a hot dance on an exotic beach with beautiful companions . ..  This was a wonderful track . . .

Joka L. "Country Fantasy"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a122113/country-fantasy

Normally, I wouldn't try an album like this, because I look for creative and beautiful album covers, and this album cover was quite boring . . . and I wonder about the name of the artist . . . but I gave it a tentative try . .  and Surprise! I loved it! The music was creative and beautiful and each track was unique, yet harmonious with the overall scheme. I loved the track, "Pirate Tavern" as it was quirky with a sense of fun . . . and "Silent NIght" (not a Christmas song) was pensive piano,  simple with a repetitive nature . .. The music is worth a taste, and perhaps you will enjoy it too . . ..  And, so, I am always learning not to judge a book by its cover . ..  or an album . . ..

Keep an eye on this guy . . . or should I say: EAR! I cannot find a sour note in all of the music that I have listened to so far in these two new albums . . . One, is powerfully wonderful jazziness in all its glory, 

and the other, a peaceful journey . . . a dream flowing through the airwaves . . . a vision of Heaven . . .. 

"The Journey Has Begun"

Oh MY! Indeed the journey has begun . .. a quiet flute, a mighty storm .. .. captivating this listener with an intrigue of mystery, peacefulness . . . and a voyage into that moment that lasts forever . .. . sweeping you up into a dreamtime that gives unique visions and emotions . . .

"Jazzy Side of Billy James"

Jazz . ..  what can I say . . . in all its temperaments . . it is warm and always gives those bone good feelings, wiping away the blues . . . This is deep and very expressive jazz . . .

Régis V. Gronoff, "A Winter in Babylon"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a122027/a-winter-in-babylon

Jazz is one of those genres which can speak to anything . . . bringing warmth and musing to your heart, it can capture the entire range of human emotions while maintaining a bright ray of hope. This generous jazzy album, with an improvisational/funky style, reveals the core of the musician's heart as he contemplates the human condition regarding love and loss . . . An album which is a definite must for jazz aficionados . . . I think my favorite was "Back There With Miles and Trane," a track which honors two of jazz's all-time greats . . .  a very moving piece!

Quietly Concerned, "Homeless"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a120205/homeless

This stunning, debut album, has quite captivated my heart and feelings . . . regarding love, within a range of human conditions  .. .. after all .. .. aren't we, every one of us, searching for love and a place called Home . .. this quest is something that guides us and motivates us, throughout our lives . . . we search for the niche . . . that place where we know we belong, where we can reciprocate and give of our soul, and the people will love us . . . no matter what  . . . and we will love them too . . . 

The singer, with his warm, mellow vocals; thoughtful and somewhat pensive at times . . the lyrics filled with meaning, compassion, and empathy,  the guitar and harmonica . . . were all so dreamy and heart touching. . . an album to be listened to over and over .  . . an album which is a gift to our hearts . . . and a music to share . . .  as we dream of a better world . ..

The Mind Orchestra, "Devoured By The Comfort Zone (Promo)"

Rather mind blowing that more than 25 musicians could get together to produce such an outstanding work of art . .  and this was just the "promo?" These were eclectic, exotic, ecstatic, entertaining, and a complete surprise at each turn of the disc . . . different styles of music yet all so appealing . . . . everyone who loves music will love something from their offerings . . .

Kellerkind, ". . . follow"

The intro beat of "Easy" was so captivating that one could not help, but "follow."

The music was like ripples of water, flowing through my being . . . cool and calm . . .  enticing and enlightening . . . or a peach colored break of day . . dewdrops clustered like pearls . . . cooling after the heat of summer . . . or like a late lavender sunset, burning embers on the ocean bed . . . dreams that flow, like music across the endless soul . . .

Beam Fragment, "Kaleidoscope"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a121923/kaleidoscope

As I listened I sensed that the various instruments create such a plethora of thoughts and inner visions . . . in particular the lengthy "Kaleidoscope" track captivated my fancy . . . especially that soulful harmonica . . .wrenching at my heart like a sentimental dream.  These are mood setting pieces . . . slow like a smooth flowing river with ripples and light beams that tell an eternal story . . . I couldn't take my ears off this album . .  Each unique track with its own message . .  "Babel" with the interesting vocals and "Mirror Of Time" fragmented and reflective . . . bouncing with lines of light reflecting over and over bringing in the melody of beauty . . . 

The music over all was relaxing, but interesting and it felt as if the artist had used enormously creative endeavors to put together a seamless voyage for the listeners . . I am looking forward to hearing more from this artist!

SiJ, "Land Of The Mind"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a121904/land-of-the-mind

Quiet, slow, introspective . . . gathering motes of sound as it progresses . .  a feeling of floating gently through the atmosphere . . . meditative and peaceful . . . such is my first impression as I listen to "Endless Journey." The music stays true to form, throughout, with this style, yet continues to captivate my interest and mood . . .the sounds of the environment (birds, winds, rain, storm, etc) are expertly woven through with instrumental variety . . The newage track, "Temple Of Neuronáutica" was quite dark with muttering vocals giving a feeling of fantasy come to life . . .  Overall an excellent album to have as background music to accompany quiet activities or perhaps a nature video . . . Loved it!

Moon Dreaming by Russ Hopkins and Jerry Palmer

More than just new age . . . this album brings familiar, acoustic and exotic instruments and melodies into the language of its theme, "Moon Dreaming," where the stark shadows and lights of the moon paint colors beyond the vision of the eyes . . . while gathering up the incense of nature and life, weaves the whole into a wondrous music. This is dreaming music . . . creating visionaries as the listeners find a strong sense of peacefulness . . .

An acoustic guitar leads the way . . . carrying the golden vibes into our hearts and the rest of the music . ..  follows so peacefully . . . or tenderly with a little melancholy . . . sentimental dreaminess. . .

PeerGynt Lobogris, "Rock The Moon (Single)

I could listen to Lobogris . . . slick electric guitar for hours . ..  hot and vivacious . ..  a personality that shines and envelopes the listener in an excitement that is hard to describe .  . . . .  Wonderful that this experienced musician has kept all of his albums on Jamendo . . .  His music is a treat for the soul.

GingerTom, "Music And The Movies 4"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a121162/music-and-the-movies-4

A puzzle . ..  bits and pieces . . .  wafting around us like a question, never answered in a world where a poisonous fog keeps the populace complacent . . .This music gave me chills . . . the creepy kind; and I have suspected, for a hundred thousand years, that this world is run by a cadre of devious aliens. That dominant marching sound, in the tract, made me think of the North Korean army  . .  with dreams of controlling the world, there is no control of even the self; for true nature oozes out like green blood from a dying dragon's wound  . . . But perhaps this story was about a more subtle type of appropriation . . . easily done through lies and manipulating by the powerful who have no compunction nor guilt . . . where greed and money walk hand in hand and a gray man in a gray suit points the finger of blame . . . and slowly the world is overcome. This was a very different style of music, for GingerTom . . . with so many vivid sounds seamlessly blended to shake the emotions and startle the senses . . . it manipulates the mind to visualize and empathize with the story teller . .. Excellent job!

I cannot resist a song that carries my name . . . for I expect to find the power that gives me wings to fly . . . and character, with hopes to dream  . . .  and I was surely not disappointed by this song . . . so beautiful, so strong with harmonious and peaceful breezes; and the flow of angels as they swept by, carrying hope, inner joy, and torches glowing, lighting the way like an ember, always ready to burst into flame or heat the heart with memories of song and love  .. .. I dreamed of wolves running through the land, free to be . . . free to sing . . . free to grace us with the shape of song as it lifts our spirit . . . and the shadow of the music will settle in my heart, a melody of perfection.

At times, thoughtful serenity .. a dreamy perspective .  . the heart beat, of the music, drew deep breaths within my soul .  . . Then there were the jazzy moments . . . down to earth . . . at times, maybe, too changeable ("Man With A Gun"), yet always interesting as if describing an episode, a story . . .

Ambient Sounddesign, "Ethno World Meditation"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/432967/ambient-sounddesign

As of today, May 6, 2013, This artist has 83 tracks on Jamendo . . . and they just started adding them a few weeks ago! Amazingly nice music! Of course I've been focused on the one album, lately, but since I love chill, trance and other relaxing music I will find myself checking out this collection often. I have already mentioned them in an earlier posting but since I've been enjoying this music, I wanted to further expound on their offerings.

The album, which I am reviewing today, is basically world new-age; mostly Eastern exotic styled, electronica . .. very nicely put together so as to create a seamless flow . .  the sounds of the flute, strings, bells, and other unique instruments were relaxing and flavorful with the essence of Asia, Australia, Celtic and others . . This is wonderful background music with a pure, flawless, creative, interesting appeal . . . I've been listening and enjoying this one album for days . ..
