Out Of Sight - Silence Speaks The Words Unspoken (2011)

Hi folks, I'm back to present a record that I have been listening to a lot over the last few weeks. This record is called Silence speaks the words unspoken and is the second release by Out Of Sight, a one man band from Germany.

Usually, I'm not into Post Rock that much, because it is, in my opinion, all build-up and no pay-off. And a lot of that statement is true for this record, but the songs have a certain quality to them I cannot quite describe using my fairly limited vocabulary. I guess I could say that all five songs seem to be alive with so much beauty, but that would be cheesy, wouldn't it? I could say, that there are so many great melodies in those songs, which I tend to miss in other Post Rock songs. Or maybe, I could argue that I find this special blend of Metal and Post Rock to be very intriguing.

The fact is, that for most people, this record would be just another collection of Post Rock songs. For me, it is a lot more: for me, this is a collection of great songs and I do not want to put a lable on them, assigning them to a certain genre. This record contains 35 minutes of very beautiful music, it's as simple as that. 35 minutes of pure emotions which put a smile on my face every time.

The Echelon Effect - Seasons (EP Part 1/4) (2011)

Quote: "Hello Everybody from sunny London! First off the new music, here you go, (its name your own price), you should be able to buy straight from this email.

The beautiful cover is a photo from Olya Dzhgyr, who won the competition for spring

I thought i'd better show you guys what all the scheming over the last few months has been about. Again many late nights and cold beers has been "utilised" in making this Ep (this is the the first of 4 ending with a film at the end of the year).

It's truly feels great to get Seasons up and running, it feels like forever since i came up with the concept. If anybody doesn't know, I'm documenting 2011 in film, not by concentrating on global occurrences but more along the lines of seeing pretty things that catch my eye throughout the year. Think of it as a budget Heima ;)

Filming is going great, its a lot of fun and im learning loads, its so much harder than i thought.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the music. Feel free to come say hello on one of the many social sites you can find me on. Also say hello by email (info@theecheloneffect.com). Use this email for licensing queries as well,

See you for Part 2 in the summer

Echoes from Jupiter - Europa (2010)

Von Québec aus veröffentlichten Echoes from Jupiter im vergangenen Jahr - nach der 4 Track EP Io - das Album Europa. Dessen beachtliche Tracklist von 15 Songs, verteilt über gut eine Stunde besteht aus Shoegazigen Gitarrentracks mit deutlichen Post-Rock Einflüssen, welche immer wieder von experimentellen, kürzeren Stücken unterbrochen werden.

Wenn's dann richtig kracht, wie etwa im Mittelteil des Tracks Floating Neighbors, und verzerrte Screams über einem Brett von Gitarren-, Bass- und Drumssounds thronen, kann wohl niemand mehr widerstehen, wuchtig im Takt mit zu nicken. Diese Stärke spielt ebenso der Titeltrack des Albums aus, Gespür für tolle Gesangsmelodien in den härteren Teilen des Albums und ruhigere Passagen wechseln gekonnt einander ab, sodass am Ende des Albums nur der eine Wunsch ensteht: Gleich nochmal von vorn!

___________________________________________________________

Hailing from Quebéc, Echoes from Jupiter released the album Europa last year after their 4 track EP Io. Europa's impressive tracklist of 15 songs clocking in at over an hour, consists of shoegazy guitar tracks with a notable post-rock feel, consistently interrupted by more experimental, shorter songs.

When the albums fully blasts however, like in the middle section of the song Floating Neighbors and distorted screams throne above a wall of guitar-, bass- and drumsounds, nobody is able to resist to bang their head to the music. The title track utilizes that said strenght just as well, the band's keen sense of putting great vocal melodies above the louder parts of the album and more quiet sections take turns, so that at the end of the album only one wish is formed: to play it all over again!

Álfheimr - What Allows Us To Endure (2011)

Quote: "For Nurul. I love you.
For Nathan. I miss you.
For my friends and family.

Thank you everyone who's helped me along the way, and thank you for downloading this album.

These are songs for laughter and forgetting, for beauty and for the little things,
and for the choices we make and how those choices change us.
These are songs for the inevitable and for celebrating the time we have now;
for the things we lose and the things we gain from their loss.
These are songs for closeness over great distances;
for time, and how it heals us.
These are songs for the future, and what we may make of it;
for all the difficulties we have faced and for those to come,
and for hope, which allows us to endure.

You can email me at madisonasche@hotmail.com if you want a hand-painted digipak for $50. Thank you."

Our Ceasing Voice - When the Headline Hit Home (2011)


Gradually the lights of the city come to new life, while the random flickering of the large neon sign three blocks away lasts and glances are lost in the distance. The sun slowly descends behind the silhouettes of the skyscrapers, taken over from the approaching night. The orange haze on the horizon is reflected in the windshields of the passing cars, raising the dust, which has been accumulated on the street. Here, between loneliness and hope, stories, which are able to change lives and guide our being exist. Soaking with melancholia Our Ceasing Voice tells these stories with their mix of hypnotic ambient and epic post-rock outburst and help the listener to catch the memories of long forgotten times, in order to save them from transience. Amidst the Tyrolean Alps the band was founded in 2006 already, but only with their debut 'steadied stars in the morphium sky EP' they drafted a journey through the mystery of gloom. Based on the upcoming novel by Sebastian Obermeir, Our Ceasing Voice's new 2011 album 'when the headline hit home' pursues this concept, while the development to a darker, more dynamic sound is clearly noticeable. Beautiful and saddening at the same time, the Austrians draw attention to fragility, passionately making one's flesh creep and thereby portraying a dramatic story full of yearning and desperation. How it will end, however, lies only in your hands.

Tracklist:
01 - Passenger Killed in Hit and Run
02 - Without Even Breathing
03 - Highway Lights
04 - The Only Ones Dead (Are Those Who Are Forgotten)
05 - Hopes of Yore
06 - Summer's Orange Haze
07 - Polaroids and Chinese Whispers
08 - Within the Nick of Time

Sky Architects - The Reflection (EP) (2010)

Press: "A lot has changed, since five young guys recorded their self titled debut-EP “Sky Architects” in 2008, which demonstrated a band that knew how to construct good melodies within an epic sphere. Where the debut showed how diverse the band could sound, their new record “The Reflection” shows a band with a more coherent and direct sound, but without compromising with their love for the epic melodies. Sky Architects isn’t Post-Rock, Metal, Indie or Pop, but a hybrid of all of these genres and more. First and foremost, Sky Architects play with their hearts, and it is therefore up to the individual listener to create their own experience of the sounds that have been created."
