I remember when this came out, thirty one years ago, and it was put on a lot of chill out CDs specifically the Ibiza chill out ones which I thought was an odd choice because when I thought Ibiza I associated it with dance music. But then there’s also the need to wind down – …
Music Of Sound have just welcomed back a new member of the band Anya AKA Hazy Sofia, who will be joining them on vocals, flute and keyboards. Music Of Sound are quite a mix of a band two members being from India and one being of Welsh roots and but all based in and around …
AROUND ABOUT DUSK- without you Around About Dusk · Without You This has such a World War II era jazz feel to it, none of the gloss that came later on, but the kind you’d expect in the background of a period drama. This could be playing in the background on a grainy gramophone, at …
AZU YUCHE – Weak Azu Yeché · Weak Azu Yeché opens the faves this week with something a little special.. This has the classic soul around it, I’d even go as far as to say this has neo soul vibes – it reminds me of D’Angelo with those guitar licks! Clean tone! Add to that …
I reviewed this week’s faves as voted by our fab readers at fresh on the net. You can check out the full inbox here. AMA ADEM – Walls Ama Adem · Walls To kick off the faves we have a returning artist – Ama Adem was last a fave back in February and she’s back …

Following a great few months of live dates and extremely encouraging streaming numbers, as well as support from BBC Introducing and BBC Orbit you could call this a bit of a triumph. The bassline starts …
This track is a beautiful folk number with an ethereal quality to it, which makes me understand why Ch’Lu chose to label this as new age. Within the track you hear so many layers – bird song, operatic vocals, crickets. All accompanied by a classical guitar, this whisked me off to a far away place …
The faves start off beautifully today with a piano instrumental. Most of you will know that I play the piano so this is right up my street. It’s gentle, there’s a tendency to add strings or augment piano instrumentals with synths to bulk it out, but this is not the case for this one. The …
The Music Of Sound X Minimums – First Light This has such a cinematic feel to it, and I wouldn’t expect any less from Minimums having played and reviewed their work before. This is like an overture to the album and it’s an inspired choice both in choice of remixer and the sequence in which …
