Cocktail by Carlos Wilde – A Re-release That Is Still Fresh [Music Review]

It’s been a little while since I posted up a music review, so I thought it was about time that I got on down to writing one and just at the right time as the news of a re-release of the 2004 album Cocktail by Carlos Wilde.

Some years back in those early days of me surfing around the internet and producing my own music, yes I still do that as well, I got to know a lot of artists through a lot of the social music networks and one of those artists was Carlos Wilde and the one thing that I never got to do was get my hands on his debut album Cocktail, shame on me!

Then just as I wanted to get a copy the website that was selling the album ceased and so it was a case of having only a couple of tracks of his music.

But, recently Atom Sounds has announced the re-release of the album on Bandcamp and I was lucky enough to get a copy of the album from Carlos, though this album is now available as a pre-order and isn’t available in full until the 1st June, you get two tracks with your pre-order, now how cool is that

Anyway on to the album, though this album was originally released in 2004, it’s still got such a powerful and fresh sound to it, with the distinct vocals from Carlos and collaborations with artist such as Mezzer, Nicki Nova to name but two, this album is something that can be played over and over again.

The album includes 10 tracks with each track giving the listener a joyful joiner of sound from start to finish and ending with an amazing club version, it has to be one of those albums that just wants you to spin it over and over again.

I’m glad that this album has been re-released it’s a crime that quality like this had to be lost from those that love music so much, it’s been lost too long and now hopefully Carlos Wilde will gain new fans for his musical talents, I for one am proud to say that I have the superb Cocktail in my music collection.

You can stream the album at SoundCloud and at Last.fm, so stop by and check it out and don’t forget to order your copy from BandCamp

Hellofanatic, Hellofanattic by emorej [Album Review]

Karen — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 10:00:30 +0000

Now I have to admit that I have been listening to emorej for quite some time now and a review is really overdue, so I decided to bring you a review of their album “hellofanatic, hellofanattic” which was released in May so it is a recent album.

First let me introduce you to Emorej:

Emorej aka Jerome, started making music by joining the acidplanet remix contests around 2002, slowly He started creating original songs usually based on samples, later on virtual instruments were incorporated into the music.

Basically, he makes electronic music in all forms and genres, but not limited to electronica, the songs reflect his eclectic taste. He likes to surprise people, keeping them guessing what he will do next.

Now on to the review

For those of you out there who are passionately about wonderful music then emorej is certainy something that you must listen to, if you like bands such as Moby, Orbital, Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Shadow and Avalanches then you really can’t give emorej a miss.

Anyhoo! On to the album, as I mentioned earlier I have been listen to emorej for some time now and though it is very hard to pick out one album that I can say is my all time favourite it is very hard, but for instrumental albums, I have to go with “Hellofanatic, Hellofanattic”.

It’s one of those albums that has so many catchy tunes that don’t interfere with what you are doing and the songs seamlessly cross from one to the next, the beats are perfect, not too fast and not too slow. It is enjoyable album to listen to right from the first track “Sunshine” up to the last track “At The Lounge”.

The album is not so much a chill out album, but an album that keeps you on your toes, specially with the tunes that run through it, every step of the way this album will delight even those that have never listed to the electronic genre. but don’t take my word for it, take a listen for yourselves and a enjoy the wonderous sounds of Emorej.

Don’t forget to follow @EmorjMusic on twitter and also check out Emorej at BandCamp ,SoundCloud, Jamendo and FaceBook.
