"Scarlet Sundance" by Peripheral Bliss (Ambient Band from Portland, Oregon (OR))

"Scarlet Sundance" is an ambient CD with tranquil, flowing tracks. The strength in the CD lies in the many keyboard/synthesizer sounds layered on top of each other and transitioning between each other to create tracks that gradually progress and change to create a beautiful and imaginative soundscape. Close your eyes and listen to these tracks and feel yourself floating into the sky. The tracks on this CD are excellent as background music as you go through your daily tasks, if you want to get inspired, or if you want to relax. Our favorite track is the title track, with its interesting instrumentation changes including memorable bass loops, guitar loops, and percussive work. If you enjoy ambient music, or are looking for backing music as you perform your daily activities, then check out this CD. Pick up a copy today!

"Deliverance" by Rob E C (Dance/Electronica Artist from Los Angeles, California (CA))

Rob E C's "Deliverance" is an energetic electronica/dance album that is absolutely addictive! From its very first song to its closing notes, "Deliverance" takes listeners on an audio adventure marked by unprecedented energy and pure fun! Driven by unforgettable beats and melodies, every song on this CD will bring out the party-goer in anyone! Rob's vocals are simply stunning- full of personality, and uncommonly passionate. "Equality" demonstrates the lyrical skill that graces the entire CD, even while diverging from the central theme of love and romance to bring attention to the ever-so relevant issue of injustice. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this CD is its unrivaled professional production, making it ready for the mainstream dance floor! "Deliverance" will compel fans of Richard Marx, Stevie B., and Jonny O. to get up on their feet and dance the night away!

"Virtual Living" by Chocotec (Electronica/Ambient Band from Great Britian, UK)

"Virtual Living" by the sensational Chocotec is a refreshingly innovative collection that puts a new spin on the term 'electronica.' What makes this album stand out from its counterparts is its unusual emphasis and reliance on drum beats and percussion. Daring, yet hypnotic arrangements of percussion instruments claim the spotlight on this CD, asserting its originality and creativity. "Energize" and "Play the Funk" highlights Chocotec's keen and skillful use of rare synth sounds that blend together to create trance-inducing hooks. Even more enticing is this CD's skillful production, successfully translating these brave compositions into pleasant works of audio art. Fans of innovative ambient/electronic tunes will thoroughly enjoy this entertaining audio experience!

"Panoramas 3" by Lorenzo Cortes' (Ambient/Electronica Artist from Spain (ES))

Lorenzo Cortes' "Panoramas 3" is a dramatic, explosive collection of ambient/electronic sounds that leaves the listener on the edge of their seat. Flawlessly crafted compositions grace this record from start to finish. With beautiful stringed arrangements that yield symphonic beauty and provoke dramatic feelings, this CD puts the listener through a theatrical audio experience. "After Holocaust" and "Armagedon" shows the amazing artistic precision of "Panoramas 3." That is, every song conjures the intended feeling and imagery suggested by the song title. This single element puts this album among one of the most dynamic sound tracks available. Moreover, the production of "Panoramas 3" carries the same amount of professionalism and precision expressed in every other area of the CD. This assembly is truly one that is unforgettable, and whose rightful place is the surround-sound of the big-screen!
