It's been a long time coming, but I've finally gotten around to a
review of <i><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/album/fifth/id463769928" target="_blank">Fifth</a></i>, by Geyser (Riad Michael). Riad has been generous enough
to provide me with a digital copy of the album for listening, and so
here goes!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div>
Unlike <i>Atmosphere</i>, which I reviewed last year, <i>Fifth </i>crosses
over to the ethereal side of the melodic spectrum and exhibits more of
Geyser's flare for the experimental. The tracks feature less "analog"
instrumentation than <i>Atmosphere</i>, and more synthesizer - making <i>
Fifth </i>in many ways truer to Geyser's usual style. But comparisons
aside, this album features brilliant sounds, which carry with them a
touch of relaxing ("therapeutic," if you will) energy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One
particular quality of <i>Fifth </i>which is worth mentioning off the bat is that the
best feature of album lies not in any one particular track, but
rather the way in which the songs themselves are arranged. I'm not sure
if they were composed deliberately to flow so well together or if they
were created one-by-one and then carefully sequenced, but either way Geyser
did an excellent job of developing an album that functions as a whole and exceeds the sum of its parts. The album kicks off with the dreamy
"Play," and then works its way up and down akin to a story line's rise in action until
"Closer" - the sixth and most obviously upbeat of the nine tracks - which
is then reigned in by what can be best described as a tranquil
suspense in track 7, "Apollo."
From there the triumphant and joyful sounds of "Serpent" kick in, just
before we get to chill out for the denouement in the final track "Chill."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In summary, if you're interested in investing in <i>Fifth </i>(available in digital format only, by the way), I highly recommend avoiding
the temptation to download individual tracks and just go for the whole
thing. It's best enjoyed in its entirety <u>and</u> its original order, so be
sure to keep the shuffle setting on your device turned off to get the most of it.<br />

<br />
Looking to pick up something special for that special someone at the last moment? Or want a few ideas for treating yourself this Christmas?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finding a great gift for a music lover with a taste for the non-mainstream is never an easy task... And being married to a musician, I know this better than anyone. So to help me out this year, Massa has put together a list of five CDs he'd like to find stuffed in his stocking on the morning of December 25th, complete with his own mini-reviews highlighting what makes them so awesome. If he's lucky (and stays on good behavior), "Santa" just might bring him more than one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>"Dear Santa"</b></span><br />
<br />
The problem is a lot of the albums I want are only available in MP3 format, and that makes it hard to choose the CDs I want. Also, I prefer to have a variety of albums from different genres, and to keep things new, ones by artists who aren't too big.<br />
<br />
But in the end, it's down to these five.<br />

by Mollono Bass<br />
Label: Acker <br />
Genre: Techno / Minimal House / Tech House<br />
<br />
Usually, when I'm looking into this category, I can only find stuff that is either too catchy or too minimal. That's not really what I am looking for. I want something interesting. something innovative and stylish. I think this one's got the best of both worlds. Each track has influences from other genres and they're simple, yet each has a distinctive touch so you can recognize the track.<br />

This is a very interesting album. Most of the elements are very organic with familiar elements: guitar riffs... the texture of the drum sounds, etc... However, the way this guy puts things together is very cool and very new. I absolutely love this album.<br />

Well, this guy's been around for long that I don't really need to say much about him, but I really like the texture of this album. It somehow reminds me of "On the Corner" and "Bitches Brew" by Miles Davis, but with a modern touch.<br />

Spacey stuff with groove. It's not any of that cold medium stuff. The combination of lo-fi texture and spacy analog synth is very pleasant. <span class="title_search_highlight">"Stampede" (featuring Rachel Calladine) is my favorite track from this album.</span><br />

This is definitely a "jazz thing." It takes you to the old black-and-white period, and would go nicely with some wine and a fire place. (But I prefer listening to this kind of album quietly and alone.) Cold winter night stuff. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Echolocation would like to thank all our fans for a terrific year, and we wish you good tidings. To celebrate the Holiday Season, we have a few specials this December, including a <a href="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/echolocation1">CD Baby Christmas Sale</a> on digital downloads and a New Year Clearance special on our physical CD,<i> Beauty in an Empty Glass</i>.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Echolocation is looking forward to the year of the Dragon, and we're keeping our fingers crossed for a new release. But before we can do that, we need to clear away some of our old inventory and save up for CD pressing expenses! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In other words, our 2011 physical album will be on sale at CD Baby until the end of the year: <strike>$7.99</strike> <span style="color: #cccccc;">→ <span style="color: red;">$5.99</span></span></div>

And since we're in a giving mood, we're also marking down all digital downloads through CD Baby until Christmas Day!</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Full album: <strike>$5.50</strike> → <span style="color: red;">$2.99</span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
As they say, "no news is good news..." In other words, we've been so busy we haven't had time to write any updates lately. We sincerely apologize for the delay, but Echolocation currently has its hands full making some great tunes and other goodies for you, our fans. We currently have in the works:<br />
<ul>
<li>a music video for one of our upcoming releases;</li>
<li>more great tunes in the works, many with new artistic collaborators.</li>
</ul>
</div>
Stay tuned for more news, as we'll be delivering updates on these projects as information becomes available. In the meantime, thanks again for all your patience. (Which we hope to reward soon!)<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Special notice for September</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
We'd like to apologize for our lack of updates this past month, but as some of you might know from our Facebook and Twitter updates, Massa is in the middle of moving at the moment. (He also managed to sprain his back in the process, but we're pleased to report that he's doing much better now.) As such, updates will continue to be sparse until mid to late September. However, Echolocation is still working strong on a few new projects, including one in the works with our friends at Peacelounge, and we hope to deliver some news on those soon.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, for all of you who downloaded or got our CD through a source other than CDBaby, we've been thinking it unfair that you didn't have a chance to participate in the questionnaire-download campaign. As an alternative, we're extending the track giveaway to anyone who rates or reviews the album on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ap/signin?_encoding=UTF8&openid.assoc_handle=usflex&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2Fcreate-review%3Fie%3DUTF8%26asin%3DB004TC0EX8%26store%3Ddmusic&openid.mode=checkid_setup&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&openid.pape.max_auth_age=900&openid.ns.pape=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fextensions%2Fpape%2F1.0&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select" target="_blank">Amazon</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=echolocatio07-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B004TC0EX8" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />, CDBab<span style="font-family: inherit;">y, or other online distribution channel...

We're proud to note that our CD has been getting some good airplay SomaFM's <a href="http://somafm.com/sonicuniverse/index.html">Sonic Universe</a> this past month, as DJ Nitya has put three of our tracks into his rotation. We'd like to extend our thanks and support to Sonic Universe and all of its listeners. We hope you enjoy the tunes!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Your input is much appreciated, and we intend to act on as much of it as possible. For instance, some of you have indicated that it we should provide a link to our blog on the album cover. While it's too late to include it in the CD material itself, we've attached QR code stickers (as pictured to the right) to the shrink wrap on the CDs we have here in stock. Once our inventory already at CDBaby moves out, future shipments will include the stickered version. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Of course, there is a lot more great advice, especially regarding the music, and we intend to take it all under consideration for our future releases. Thanks again, and we hope to continue receiving your feedback in the future.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In anticipation of the upcoming album <i><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/album/fifth/id463769928"target="_blank">Fifth</a></i>, by Geyser (Riad Michael)<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=echolocatio07-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000QZWDJ0" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />, Massa and I have recently obtained promo copies of this German musician's 2005 ambient-downtempo album, <i>Atmosphere</i>, and his more experimental work,<i> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/album/concrete-feat.-leah/id210890728"target="_blank">Concrete</a></i>. Having worked with Geyser before Massa is already well aware of his talent for producing beautiful tracks, but this one album - <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/album/atmosphere/id210890779"target="_blank"><i>Atmosphere</i></a> - personally caught my attention. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just as the name suggests, <i>Atmosphere</i> is certainly a mood album, and it does an excellent job of combining the talents of a wide variety of collaborating artists around Geyser's core sounds. Starting off with a touch of world instruments and skilled use of dissonance in "Tek 1," the album sets off on a high-altitude course, reminiscent of the album's name. "Pass" is another great ambient track, this time featuring the angelic voice of Estel Hagdorn to produce a calm sound with a sense of lingering grief - like the fading, warm glow of dusk as the sky gives way to darkness, as depicted on the album cover. Moving down the line a bit, the uplifting lounge sound on "Anker" is well accompanied by the energetic sax of Boris Lange, whose kinetic melody kicks the mind into motion. Immediately following, we come to this author's personal favorite track, "Axon," aptly-named, as it combines a high bpm with surreal ambient sounds to create a sense of "calm" urgency - like when the mind-brain fires up an electrical storm and finds focus in chaotic tension just nanoseconds before sending the body into action.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stay tuned for a review of <i>Fifth </i>in the near future.</div>

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">We promised you an update, and here it is! Massa and Tetsuroh are excited to share the news with you that our track "Frosted Glass" is officially released on Early Morning Breaks Vol. 3 and is now available for download, along with the rest of the album, as of July 24. We just received our copy in the mail a few days ago and had the chance to preview it in its entirety... Massa has had it playing for the past two days, and we're absolutely nowhere near tired of hearing it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Nuts and Bolts</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This double CD compilation album features tracks by various artists, including Chris Coco, Eddie Thoneick, Erick Morillo, Paul Kalkbrenner, Bent, Gregor Salto, and Wax Poetic featuring Norah Jones. Oh, and Echolocation, too. :D</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And as a side note, both the physical album and the Juno download have advantages over one another. For instance, Juno features the full-length, unmixed tracks. This makes for extra listening time, but without the smoothly mixed transitions on the CDs. Additionally, there are some tracks that cannot be downloaded separately from the full album, but downloading the whole thing gives you two bonus continuous DJ Mixes that are not available with the CDs: Early Morning Breaks Vol 3 Session One and Session Two (about an hour and 15 minutes each of chilled listening pleasure). </div><br />

<br />
<b>Our First Impression</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">While they're both catchy, Vol 3 is a bit smoother than its predecessor, Vol. 2, which had songs with more progression. It's (obviously) a lot longer than 2 as well, but - despite it's length - has a smooth, long-mix feeling with subtle changes to take you on a cool, relaxed ride without wearing you out... And kudos to Peacelounge for releasing this compilation in July - it's a great summer chillout album.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Expect to see another Insider Review sometime in the coming months, where we'll spotlight some of the upcoming, lesser-known talent to be found here. In the meantime, check out this promo video for EMB Vol 3 from Planet Radio.</div><br />
