Charles Atlas @ FMA (the entire album from 2009):
Awesome ! - Thank you very much.
ETA: + bonus track (11)
- "Charles Atlas is an instrumental duo (often expanding into a trio or quartet) who utilize effected guitar, piano, synthesizer, melodica, trumpet, drum loops, samples, and other instrumentation to paint expansive musical pastures on the crowded walls of the urban centers they and their audiences call home. In this sense Charles Atlas is akin to a large, green city park, the difference being that whereas the land for, say, Central Park was set aside long ago, Charles Atlas must forge the aural and (via synaesthesia if not musical anesthesia) visual space it seeks to fill. The two-dimensional surface upon which CA paints its murals, the tympanic membrane of the human ear, is in fact quite small; whats more, as a membrane, it has no depth. Without this third dimension, how can the musician hope to create full-bodied works? Only when the fourth dimension of time is borrowed does the picture come into relief; both depth and extension are now possible. Charles Atlas makes ample use of this dimension, with shuffle-slow pacing and lengthy looped pieces whose repeating musical phrases establish the gridlines of the new space while intersecting improvised figures move through it, encounter each other, negotiate, linger, engage, separate, or expire." http://www.last.fm/music/Charles+Atlas
Charles lloyd - The Water is Wide.
Really like the music here. Still deciding how distracted/annoyed I am by the guy grunting in the background throughout.
Ate papaya flowers, fermented beans and minced pigeon today, among other firsts.
@craig - That Steve Mason album is something else. He seems like a guy who just write music for himself and is cool whether or not anyone else likes it.
The problem with using Google Music these days is that I rarely make it past the letter A before finding something I haven't listened to recently and figure I should.
@choice - Great album, one of my favorite from Amie Street.
Paste told me this album was years ahead of anything else... I say it deserves a second listen, but that may be all.
"Early 2004 was a time of exploration for The Dots as they prepared "The Whispering Wall" and "Poppy Variations" albums.It wasn't unusual for sessions
and improvisations to last for hours.
"The Whispering Wail" focusses on synthesiser sessions of EK and The Silverman
and produces a small voyage which we felt stood up in it's own right.
This cdr release enjoyed a decent enough quality, but with today's advanced tours we took the liberty of subtle enhancement."

FMA: - "Sasha Agranov and Pablo Wayne define their music as « aquatic » : a tapestry of timeless, almost utopian atmospheres that bewitch the imagination, constructed over an acustic base (cello and hang), superimposed with a variety of different objects and ethereal use of electronic processes.
Selva de Mar create a soundtrack to an imaginary (but not made-up) mediterranean that lies in the subconscious memory of a territory that was once both mystical pastoral, enigmatic and familiar. Perhaps thats why they ve taken their music to Israel and Jordan, as much as Spain and France."

A free sampler I picked up at amazon at some point; caught my eye from the cloud this morning.
