Antony and the Johnsons - The Crying Light

A beauty of a record, this is (afaik) the third and best-to-date album of the mighty Antony and the Johnsons. Beautyfull melancoly sung in a heartbreaking voice. An absolute must-have, I think.

Mira Calix - Eyes Set Against The Sun / Skimskitta

Innitially stumbled upon her recent album wich i thought was quite interesting. But to be honest, i liked the older stuff (2007 / 2003) better. A mixture of modern classical music and ambient electronica. Some tracks more of a texture, some more musical. Lovely.

ryuichi sakamoto - chain music

An interesting project of japanese composer super hero ryuichi sakamoto.

Just a quick quote from his notion on the project:

The idea is to chain musical pieces from one artist to another, like a chain letter.

The purpose is to musically mark the passage of time that Iraq is in a state of war, to mark the steps to peace, to take each day that there is war and build a musical memorial to the desire for peace as well as to mark off the time of war.

Of course the list of artists is just what i considder mindblowing in terms of contemporary experimental electronica.

kreidler - eve future / eve future recall

I'm absolutely not sure wether it's played on a good midipiano or live, neither am i sure about wether its a soundtrack, classical music or should be regarded as "electronic" somehow.
