Ten and Tracer’s Tsotsitaal – hurry and jump on the very slow bandwagon

Melissa
Ambient music is one of those things that people either hate or really hate, and I used to be in both those groups until an ambient-loving friend of mine sat me down to set me straight. "You don't have to have songs shoved down your throat," he said. "Just close your eyes and float, and you'll find that music is all around you." At the time I rolled my eyes at the tree-hugginess of it all, but really I do take his point.

Jan Felipe “Abril” – indietronica with a truly international flavour

Melissa
One of the things I really love about Creative Commons music is the potential to connect directly with artists. It helps increase my enjoyment of the music, knowing a little about what these musicians are like and understanding their drive to create. Often they contact me via last.fm after seeing their albums in my library, and the conversation develops from there. Sometimes, as in the case of Brazilian songwriter Jan Felipe, it can lead to some very interesting things.

Ben’s Imaginary Band “Trust” EP – songs that tickle your imagination

hailey
When everything else around you feels like a dream, you end up slipping into your own imaginary realm. And with the help of Ben's Imaginary Band, it isn't hard to achieve. Trust EP is a surreal-sounding album, with hints of melodies which seem to transport you into your own world. The band's name may be a bit contrasting with the album's name (Trust + Imaginary seems to cancel each other out), but once you hear it, you'll definitely appreciate it.

Unique and appealing music; that is what we simply want to find as we dive into an ocean of music collection found in the internet - and Bézèd'h does just hat with their album Les Illuminés. With 13 tracks of various genre fusions such as rock, celtic, drums and violins all rolled into one, this album is surely one of those which can leave your head bobbing. Oh and did we say that they also got interesting male vocals with classical strings?
