Sylvan EDUK - Baikal Zen Dance/Electronica, Chill, Ambient Sidmouth, United Kingdom Overall Impression: Sylvan EDUK takes the listener on a hypnotic aural journey, with the release of his single "Baikal Zen." Beginning with a sinister drone, this ambient electronic track opens up around the one minute mark with the introduction of a bouncy bass line and syncopated ride rhythms. Organic synthesizers bubble and rise to the surface, only to recede into the primordial ooze just as quickly as they'd emerged. Intricate lines intertwine to weave a tapestry full of color and oddities on this incredibly textured and complex composition. Fans of left of center electronica and ambient psychedelia will surely find a lot to love about this track, and should check out "Balkai Zen" from producer Sylvan EDUK as quickly as possible.

Massimo Vaccaro - Tamas World, Ambient, Lounge Carpi, Italy Overall Impression: Massimo Vaccaro's Tamas opens slowly, with mellow toned, string-based notes, sustained to hang warmly behind the unfurling composition, and swelling synth like a sun, encouraging each new instrument joining the composition to lift itself and join the sonic stream. Twinkling keys soon appear, busily performing their simplistic pattern again and again, serving as the internal operations and vessels contentedly working away at their tasks as part of the greater sonic organism. Tamas finds its soul, however, in a new synthesized line which emerges mid-piece in ringing crystalline resonance to fly high above its counterparts, mesmerizing listeners and pulling them deeper into a fully immersive experience. As gently as it began, Tamas winds all its parts back in and closes in a single echo leaving anyone fortunate enough to have experienced it deep in mental Shavasana. Strongest Poi...

Palmer - Warm Bars World, Ambient, Garage, New Age, Smooth Jazz Washington, United States Overall Impression: Warm Bars is a delightful jazz/easy listening tune, that conveys warmth throughout the song, even through the dissonances and unique chord changes. The double time switch is very well done, changing the feel of the tune to more of an upbeat street jazz while maintaining the warmth presented at the beginning of the piece. The instrument choices are very nice - I especially enjoyed the lack of snare in the drums - allowing for a warmer feel without unnecessary pop. In addition, the cymbal swells and wind chimes are a great touch. It is evident that every detail was thought out, and overall Warm Bars has the potential to be a modern Jazz favorite. Strongest Point(s): The composition of the tune is very nice top to bottom - the instrumentation is mellow and fitting to the style of the song, and it is obvious that each instrument is played with mastery and...

Yuki Ato Narayan - Pervading the Ocean Classical, Ambient, Neo-Classical New York, United States Overall Impression: Cool synth glitters from the mysterious depths of Yuki Ato Narayan's Pervading the Ocean as the track washes back and forth in crystal clear layers of sustain, incessant and rhythmic as ocean waves. The ambient, pulsating song extends seamlessly in a hypnotic meditation, cohesive in nature, yet constantly turning over notes and phrases for ever shifting revelation and discovery. Strongest Point(s): The delay effects used in Pervading the Ocean are one of the foremost things defining its ethereal water-like sound, with echoes of each note played extending out in shining sonic ripples, which combined with Narayan's decision to alternate high notes with deeper tones, gives the song an intricate sense of space. Without extensive commotion, this peaceful composition is allowed to truly flow and expand, creating an ambient aquatic dream world...
