MINILOGUE

this is great but weird ambient music. minilogue consists of the two swedish rather unknown artists 'trimatic' and 'son kite'. they are probably soon or already 30 years old and have some years in the music business. their album 'animals' was released almost a month ago, an album consisting of two cds. one named 'ambient' and the other named 'dance'. although i see the difference between the cds, i wouldn't say dance to either of them. the music is experimentally ambient techno/electronica, sort of. some songs sound similar to the ancient electronic producer 'aphex twin', which is quite a compliment. i give you three songs here, the first being from the ambient-cd, the second from the dance-related one and the last from 'aphex twin'. they are all amazing:

Minilogue - Seconds (Colour & Sound)

(chill-out, 2008)

Minilogue - We All

(deep house, 2008)

Aphex Twin - Rhubarb

(chill-out, 1994)

Well I think that technology and music have always been together and I think music is science anyway

The titel is quote from Vangelis from 1988.

Vangelis is a greek composer born in 1943. He’s one of the pioneers in making electronic music and started composing at the age of four. He is ofted said to avoid publicity, and to rather focus on his next artistic creation.

THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO KNOW

Stéphane Pompougnac,

French house DJ, born i Paris. You might recognize his name from the Hôtel Costes compilations. Pompougnac started playing in the mid 80-ies. He plays at Hôtel Costes where all celebrities go when in Paris, as well as for various fashion shows (read: Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci…). Don’t know if I like this song or not, but I do like the beat appearing in 1:11.
And I kind of like the way he says “Broadway on the Champs-Élysées”.

Stéphane Pompougnac - Living on the Edge
(Chill-out, from the album with the same name living on the edge, released in 2003.)

For slacker summer days,
