Thom York - Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses


"Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses" and "The Hollow Earth" are songs by Thom Yorke, released as a double A-side 12-inche single on 21 September 2009, and scheduled for a download release on 6 October 2009. The vinyl was limited to 8000 copies worldwide.

Yorke revealed the release through Radiohead's online blog, "Dead Air Space", and commented that the songs are released "loosely" under his name. The first song, "Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses", was written and performed by Yorke with Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood out of a song Yorke reported to have started working on at his home in 2001, and which has been played live twice—once in 2001, as a full-band "snarling metal" song and once acoustically in 2005. "The Hollow Earth" is newer by comparison, described as a "bass menace" coming out of the sessions for The Eraser.

The Dreamers


The Dreamers are an Anglo/Swedish duo featuring Sarah Nyberg Pergament and Kevin Wright. Sarah has previously recorded as Action Biker and Kevin as Always and Mr. Wright.  Meeting at a Swedish music festival in 2004 the pair began by writing a song “Petit Nuage” in late 2005. Encouraged by this an album began taking shape being recorded mostly in London with Sarah’s vocals being sent from Stockholm and Helsinki. The record is now finished and titled “Day for Night”. Top Swedish label Friendly Noise released it on October 2007. The band made their live debut at the Luminaire in London and more shows followed in Scandanavia. 

The Dreamers influences combine many disparate elements including jazz pop and soundtrack music. Although the music is often melancholic the Dreamers hope to make (to paraphrase Michel Legrand speaking of Tom Jobim) “the sad music that makes the world a better place.”

(My song recommended for this album is Petit Nuage and So Near So Far)

The success of the single in the UK was due largely to its use in a promotional trailer for Radio 1 across all of the BBC TV channels prior to the single’s release. ‘Crazy’ stayed at #1 for almost 9 weeks.

The buzz for “Crazy” helped generate a lot of press coverage of their debut album, St. Elsewhere, which was released on May 9, 2006.

Swod


Swod is the recording project of Oliver Doerell and Stephan Wohrmann, two accomplished musicians who met in Berlin sometime in 1991. Oliver plays guitar, bass and all manner of electronics - he is also a long-time family member of City Centre Offices having recorded an album and an EP under the “Dictaphone” moniker in between composing and performing musical pieces for theatre, installations and film over the last few years.

Stephan plays piano and drums, arranging an almost neo-classical structure within a recording that already sounds ghostly and cinematic. Translated as ‘go’, “gehen” represents a labour of love from two musicians experienced in the art of seductive and evocative music making.

Emiliana Torrini - Love in the Time of Science



Emiliana Torrini es una cantante Islandesa. Creció en un pueblo cercano a Reykjavik donde se unió a un coro a los 7 años de edad cantando como soprano hasta que fue a una escuela de ópera a los 15 años.
Empezo a ser conocida por su álbum de debut a nivel mundial «Love In The Time Of Science»

A veces la vida de una persona está hecha a partir de pequeñas casualidades. La de Emiliana Torrini fue que Björk rechazase cantar 'Gollum's Song' en la segunda parte de 'El Señor de los Anillos, las Dos Torres' de Peter Jackson. La otra fue desvincularse de este acontecimiento tan bucólico componiendo 'Slow' para Kylie Minogue.

Gotan Project Live


En Live, es la primera vez que podemos escucharlos en una grabación en vivo oficial, en la que seleccionan parte de sus presentaciones realizadas para los tours de cada disco.
Suena intenso, es intenso. Suena lleno de pasión, es pasional. Suena a tango, es tango. El nuevo tango.
Atención con los dos bonus tracks, reversiones de Santa María y de Diferente, instrumentales que vuelven al pasado, a los maravillosos 50's.
