"In 1956-1957 Frenchman Guy Piazzini went deep into Kalimantan and recorded traditional music from the Dayak tribes and here's the original record.... Must've been quiet a trip, back then Kalimantan was still completely covered in jungle, not the ravaged, destroyed and poluted place that it is these days, destroyed and poisoned by mining, ravaged by illegal logging and palm oil plantations and I feel for those proud Dayaks, what has happened there and is still happening is just terrible...."
New Nightwish. It's just the first listen through, and it seems like an expected progression from their more recent stuff, but so far I'm not sold on it. Maybe a couple more listens and it'll grow. We'll see.

Second time in a row because I have trouble getting the volume right in my office.

This is really really great; RnB/electronic - I think I got it as a free mixtape, but it's now been re- released
Very nice electronic house mix; not sure where I heard of this; probably TMT. Seems to still be available on soundcloud.

Sumner McKane- What a Great Place to Be
2nd on National Public Radio's ECHOES' Top-25 Essential CDs for 2008//Top 5 in ECHOES listener poll
“McKane's landscapes are tinged in ambient atmospheres and pulled by an undertow of psychedelia that makes them some of the most unassumingly mind-bending music of the decade... Sumner manages to touch the nostalgic, wistful side of us, without being remotely quaint or corny. Sumner McKane's new album is What A Great Place to Be and it makes you feel exactly like that, wherever you're listening. It's like the gentlest acid dream in a sun-drenched meadow and it's our CD of the Month for October.”
