The definitive sound of chilling in Winter! 30 tracks. Digipak. 2002.

European only LP pressing. No Hassle is the 2009 album by Viennese soundscape masters Tosca. Forefathers of the nu-Balearic/cosmic scene of artists; Richard Dorfmeister (also one half of Kruder & Dorfmeister) and Rupert Huber have produced their most magical and mesmerizing album yet. A luxurious tapestry of analogue and digital sounds, submerged samples and live instruments; No Hassle evolves and expands into an hour-long ambient symphony. The title reflects not only the duo's laidback approach to making music but their whole philosophy of life. "It's our personal reaction to everything," explains Richard. "To all things that are pressuring you from outside, or internally, from every angle. It's sort of the ideal position to achieve, and it's the same idea behind the music: to achieve an hour where you feel hassle free." K7.

New Yorker and label founder Jay Denes' Blue 6 project has set the standard for Naked Music since day one, providing his stripped-down, soulful production - only matched by his dynamic songwriting, as heard on Naked classics like 'Pure' and 'Music and Wine'. His debut album 'Beautiful Tomorrow' is a masterpiece of modern urban soul, a blend of different shades and tempos all tied together with that classic Naked vibe. Naked Music Recordings.

这个从电影《荒野大镖客》里西部牛仔的口哨声中响起阵阵东欧迪斯科节拍的伦敦Dalston乐队名唤Django Django，并自创「Djangorous」一词来诠释自身的音乐风格，却处处流泻着The Beta Band、Hot Chip的影子。并不奇怪，乐队主脑David Maclean其实是The Beta Band键盘手John Maclean的弟弟，耳濡目染之下，Django Django或许能开启「新Betas」的神话？答案显然是否定的；以David Maclean领衔的爱丁堡、东伦敦四人乐队Django Django完全不沾染任何英伦典型音乐气息、「摇滚」与「庞克」不是他们拿来咆哮世人的本领与素材，也不追随The Beta Band恶质的失真，他们所仿效的反而是Optimo亦或DFA等厂牌近年趋之若鹜的摩登电子音乐，以及一丝丝倾向Indie-Dance发展的可贵情操。歌曲〈Hail Bop〉像是击着Tribal节拍的Hot Chip、〈Firewater〉则叫人忆起Full Time Hobby旗下的电民谣组合Tunng。

Consumed is the fourth studio album by Canadian electronic music producer Richie Hawtin, and his third studio album under the alias Plastikman.[3] It was released in 1998 by Minus and Novamute Records.[4]
The New York Times wrote: "The thumps and the pinglike sound of searching radar create a mood in Consumed that is oceanic and hypnotic yet hardly New Age: the tension is too thick."[9]
In a retrospective article, The A.V. Club called the album "a career highlight that stripped techno to a glacial pulse and the barren sounds of a boundless alien wasteland."[10] In 2018, Pitchfork placed Consumed at number 34 on its list of the 50 best albums of 1998.[11]

Enigma 乐队介绍:
英格玛(Enigma)，"New Age Music"的杰出代表，这是一支来自德国的伟大乐队，以其神秘主义风格吸引了无数乐迷。神秘主义的主题用现代电子乐来表现，使人产生一种时空交错的奇妙感觉。其中的人声也非常美妙：女声亮丽动人，如夜莺一般悦耳；男声低沉隐约，令人着迷。乐队的音乐取材也非常广泛，源于世界各地。
Enigma究竟是一种怎样的音乐呢？虽然我们习惯并笼统地将之归入“New Age”，但却很难描述Enigma的独到特色。制作人Michaelp Cretu曾经道出过其中的玄机，事实上Michaelp Cretu一直想走出欧洲传统流行音乐的束缚，他所钟爱的音乐风格偏向于Pinkp Floyd和Yes，但这类非主流音乐类型在日益商业化的市场中已经越来越难听得到。Michaelp Cretu便开始朝着自己理想的王国迈进，自己写作，并且在不少作品中动用了两种非常奇特而且不为世人熟知的声音——秘鲁风格的排萧和由修道士演唱的类似格里高里圣歌风格的旋律，编曲上再衬以洒脱、懒散的Disco节奏，由此构成了Enigma极富个性的基本框架。因此在Michaelp Cretu所营造的独特音乐世界中，我们即可以隐约感受到古典严肃音乐的影子，又可以直接感受到通俗流行的电子配器；能听到最悠远的少数民族部落自由而悠长的吟唱，又能够欣赏到教堂唱诗班庄严而宏大的和声。也因为这些，MichaelpCretu拒绝掌声和荣誉以及别人给Enigma“定制”的风格上的定义。（摘自网络）

The songs on "Unearthed" pay homage to ancient cultures with their titles (Cuzco, Pompeii, Harrapa, and Ebia), yet they are as contemporary as Deep Forest and Enigma and attract the same kind of fan. The music is at one moment dark and choral and at another light and airy; one moment you're in Greece and then in Ireland or South America. It's a film score, clearly cinematic, but there's no movie - rather there are the dozens of movies and movie trailers in which the music has appreaed. If you've watched Six Feet Under, the NFL or the US Open, you've heard their music. If you watch CBS's hit series "Cold Case" on Sunday nights, you've heard one of the most extraordinary theme songs ever, and it's the track "Nara". If you are even an occasional filmgoer, you've heard the music on "UNEARTHED"
E.S. Posthumus在2000年组成，是由Helmut和Franz Vonlichten兄弟二人合组的独立组合，音乐揉合交响乐及电子乐，加上鼓乐强劲节奏，气势滂薄，亦具史诗式的古典美。Helmut 和 Franz 自3岁起便跟随母亲学习古典钢琴，自小浸润在古典音乐的环境下长大。Franz中学毕业后在录音室工作。Helmut 在美国洛杉矶加州大学（UCLA）修读考古学毕业。兄弟俩受到Pythagorean Philosophy影响触发灵感，相信 "音乐是使反差变得和谐；把对抗的元素加以调和"。E.S.其实也就是"Experimental Sounds"（实验音乐）的缩写，而"Posthumus"一词代表了"一切已然过去"。 E.S. Posthumus深受电影或电视剧制作人等拥戴，其音乐常成为电影或电视剧前奏，营造出剧力万军的效果，或成为配乐。譬如说，2001年电影《决战猩球/猿人争霸战》用上了Menouthis和Pompeii两首；2002年电影《蜘蛛侠》用上Pompeii和Nineveh，电影《少数派报告/关键报告/未来报告》用上Tikal；2003年侦探电视剧《铁证悬案》（Cold Case）用了Nara，例子多不胜数。而Posthumus Zone这一首更是特别为美国哥伦比亚电视台（CBS）的体育节目制作的音乐。 兄弟俩身份相当神秘，至今只推出过一张专辑 Unearthed（2001年1月）和一张单曲碟 Rise to Glory（2005年9月）。虽然网站的资料显示，E.S. Posthumus计划在2006年推出新专辑，但时至今日仍未见面世。 曾有传言指Helmut和Franz Vonlichten是Robert和Jeffrey Pfeifer兄弟的化名，后者较多产，音乐也常见成为很多大片的电影配乐，其一为《指环王/魔戒》。

Sydney duo The Presets put out a gutsy debut EP last year called Blow Up, and on November 1, they'll release the follow up. Called Girl & The Sea, it takes the direction of the first even further down the road to greatness. Modular. 2004.
