虽说Kashiwa Daisuke音乐的部分元素必然是受到了Katsuhiko Maeda的影响，有目共睹的是这位年轻的日本电子音乐艺术家正在创造一种属于他都独特风格的音乐。即使撇开这张专辑所蕴含的意义，Daisuke的最新专辑Program Music I已经是一次让人印象深刻的音乐尝试，凭此足以使他跻身于世界顶尖厂牌的顶尖数字作曲家之一。这张一小时长的专辑只有两首歌，音乐却出奇的丰富，某些时候，让人怀疑是一支管弦乐队在演奏而不是只有一个人和一台电脑而已。标准的电子元素确实在Program Music I的纷繁复杂的多层次音乐元素中占有一席之地，不过Daisuke更重视的却是音乐整体。强烈推荐这张专辑。
专辑融合了电子后摇，分别选用宫泽贤治的"银河铁道之夜"（小说）与太宰治的"奔跑吧，梅洛斯"（小说）作为两首曲子的主题，旋律抒情而充满器乐编排厚度地呈现出他脑海中的影像。

Daft Punk的出现一切都要感谢英国音乐杂誌Melody Maker的功劳，要不是他们将Guy-Manual de Homem Christo与Thomas Bangalter这个来自法国巴黎DJ双人组的前身Darlin’所做的Indie rock音乐评为“a bunch of daft punk”，我们也不会有这么一组有著欢乐节奏、复古与前卫兼容并蓄的音乐奇葩，所以“有时候”bad reviews并不一定是一件坏事，反而是一种转变的契机。
1993年成立的Daft Punk，当首张专辑Homework推出时，Daft Punk他们那融合，或者应该说是打破Techno, House, Acid House以及Electro分野的乐风，引起欧陆跳舞圈子相当大的迴响，与Air并列为是法国引领世界电子音乐潮流的重要团体。
在Discovery这张专辑的筹备时，一次的录音室意外彻底改变了Daft Punk，这两个首脑人物宣称在1999年9月9日早上的9点9分，当他们在为新专辑的歌曲取样(sampling)时，录音室发生了大爆炸，等到他们清醒过来时，他们已经变成了半人半机器的robots，从此以后，Daft Punk就像是星际大战的黑武士一样，永远带著头盔面对这个世界。
本张ALIVE 2007则是他们2007年6月14日，在法国巴黎举行的现场演出实况纪录专辑。在这场演出中，Daft Punk以他们特别订制的顶级音乐硬体与软体设备，展现让人赞叹的混音技巧。对许多参与现场演出的乐迷来说，若是乐队能够重视专辑中的水准，那就是一件难得的体验。Daft Punk则更进一步，以乐迷熟悉的经典旋律与音乐片段，重组创造出全新的能量，透过音箱刺激乐迷的大脑与四肢。在电脑与软体公司的倾力支援下，更提供十分炫目抢眼的舞台视觉效果。除了历年经典曲目外，还能听到他们回头采用Busta Rhymes，当初取样Daft Punk完成的〈Touch It〉元素，以及他们为Gabrielle混音助阵〈Forget About the World〉。每个不同时期，Daft Punk都能带来全新的惊喜，科技在他们世界里，不再是冰冷生涩的东西，而是催情狂欢的最佳媒介，按下Play键，未来世界就在那里！

Keith Kenniff mustn’t sleep at all, after releasing the incredible Goldmund album ‘Corduroy Road’ for Type early in 2005 he was already busy at work crafting his second record as Helios; all this while finishing a degree at the acclaimed Berklee College of Music in Boston! ‘Eingya’ is very different from his work as Goldmund, as it incorporates not only his piano playing, but his delicate touch on guitar, drums and his masterful electronic production. It is an album of wordless songs, eleven carefully measured movements, each holding inside it an entire movie’s worth of emotion. Beginning the album on a high with the pastural beauty of ‘Bless This Morning Year’ we witness a showcase already of what Kenniff does best; hearbreaking guitar and piano melodies punctuated by crumbling beats and backed by the most atmospheric synthesizer sounds this side of Eno’s ‘Apollo’. Moving on we are treated to the appetising ‘Halving the Compass’ which blends subtle field recording with the kind of piano melodies so beautiful they could be compared to Virginia Astley or Harold Budd. This is followed by the album’s clear highlight – ‘Dragonfly Across an Ancient Land’; an unsurpassable folk guitar piece with a decomposing percussive background and the sort of melodies that would turn evil tyrants into weeping babies. An album which could as easily appeal to fans of Nick Drake as fans of Boards of Canada or even early Air; this truly has something for everyone. To put it simply – it’s gorgeous.

恐怖份子呀！最接近群眾的一次(還是很恐怖)。

５作目のソロ・アルバムは、アジアを舞台にしたシミュレーション・ミュージカル・ストーリー仕立て。そこは、ハードディスクとＲＡＭに、１６進法で描き出される世界。彼のサウンド・ワールドの中では、東南アジアも独特の冷気をはらんでいるのが興味深い。

Mirrored is the debut studio album by American experimental rock band Battles. It was released on May 14, 2007 in the United Kingdom, and on May 22, 2007 in the United States. Mirrored marked the first album in which the band incorporated prominent vocals and lyrics into their songs, as previous extended plays by the band had been completely instrumental, with the exception of occasional beatboxing and wordless vocals on certain tracks. The first single from the album, "Atlas", was released in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2007. Mirrored was released to wide critical acclaim and appeared on year-end best album lists from several publications, including Time, NME, The Guardian, and Pitchfork Media.

We took our time to craft it with love and we're very proud of how it came together. This album was mixed quietly so it sounds warmer and more natural. Be sure to turn the volume up!

UK pressing of this single lifted from the U.S. edition of his Rokstarr album plus the British compilation The Rokstarr Collection. Features four versions of 'Dynamite': Main Version, Ralphi Rosario Club Remix, Mixin Marc Club Remix and Stonebridge Club Remix. Island.
