That Riceboy Sleeps is a favorite Sunday Night power-down album for me.
NP:
The Cookers - "Believe"
-Great straight-ahead jazz from a supergroup of vets. P.S. If you google on the search terms "The Believers" "Cook", you'll waste countless hours wondering why you get such meager search results.
Jonah: That's cool, I could see how it could work for you like that. I need to listen to it much more than I do. I picked it up randomly at the public library just browsing shelves, but love its choral like arrangements and usual electronic and etc mix.
It was one of my rare successful Amie St. pick-ups. I was on Amie when it popped up, got it free and just decided to rec it. It went up to ten bucks almost immediately, and that was some nice spending credit I got for that. One of the few times I managed to rec something for a "profit."
NP:
Christophe Marguet - "Pulsion"
-My opinion of this album is still evolving. Peaceful much in the way that Lars Danielsson's "Liberetto" is, but also more chaotic than that.
A quartet from Vienna that started in 2002, being Peter Holy (piano), Alexandr Vatagin (bass, cello) Lukas Scholler (electronics) and David Schweighart (drums).
- "Experimental music par excellence, Memories of Björn Bolssen is an album rich in atmosphere and detail. Its airy arrangements gives room to the very sound of instruments (mainly piano, cello, drums) and when it comes to the compositions, despite all the abstraction touching sentiment is formed from the subtle in-between. . . ." http://tupolev.klingt.org/
ETA, this is very nice, restrained and expansive ambient drone with other noises. It's mixed as one track but other versions of the sections are on soundcloud - I suggest checking out a different mix of the title track/section here.
- "As evidenced on recently released single Se Fosse Per Me, Un Giorno Sospeso is dense with chiming tones, buoyant beats, skittering horns and immersive drones. From the shimmering, levitating tones of Flussigirl to the rattling, dark drone-beat of Il Tempo Di Capire, Elisa Luus brilliant marriage of texture and composition is on virtuoso display.
Elisa Luus alchemical touch is in full bloom on this, her long-awaited second album for Hidden Shoal. Her uniquely crafted compositions carry a warmth and vulnerability that belies their digitally manipulated textures. The album takes the glorious blueprint of debut Chromatic Sigh and accentuates the highlights and shadows, making for a deliciously disorientating trip."

- Mindblowing saxophone playing from Sandro Marinoni:
Frames Music - "Frames is an experimental collective from Italy started in 2007 by Stefano Roncarolo, a young and virtuoso italian bass player, and Sandro Marinoni, trombone, flute and tenor saxophone player.
Many remarkable artists from around the world have worked and still working with the team: russian pianist Andrey Kutov, italian pianist and keyboardist Roberto Padovan, great avantgard singer Boris Savoldelli, japanese artist Kenji Siratori, italian singer and producer Paolo Baltaro, italian sound engineer Francesco Perugini, argentine percussionist Humberto Luis Schenone and more. . ."
