Biianco – Get Up (Official Music Video)
Gaby Bianco's anthemic chillwave video is proof of the good things to come
We re-discovered Biianco‘s soul-stirring chillwave track “Get Up” rather serendipitously while rummaging our March 2019 playlists because we only remembered a part of the emotive lyrics “You wanna watch me fall, You gonna watch me…..”. When we eventually found it, little did we know that the expressive voice behind the track – Gabby Bianco was/is […]
Kenji Kawai – Avalon (2001) Original Soundtrack
Epic orchestral electronic music meets cyberpunk surrealism in this rare find
18 years ago, James Cameron called it the “Most artistic, beautiful & stylish Sci-Fi film” when Avalon (also known as “Gates to Avalon“) released in 2001. Believe the great filmmaker, this Polish science fiction is indeed an underrated spectacle that’s a surreal treat for the eyes and the ears. Avalon presents an unreal world set […]
Pearl Jam – Rough Mixes 4/26/91
Celebrating the 28th anniversary of this rare album from the Grunge superstars
What is the one of the rarest, (if not the rarest) most collectible Pearl Jam recording? In the past, this question would have been answered by almost every serious Pearl Jam collector either with the fan club only ‘91 Christmas single (1500 copies) or the 3-track Alive promo CD-single featuring Alive (different mix from ‘Ten’), […]
Lyves – Darkest Hour
Underrated atmospheric electronic indie dark pop
Darkest Hour, the atmospheric indie dark pop track by the London based singer, songwriter and producer Lyves aka Francesca Bergami is our #songoftheweek from March 2018. Almost cathartic, Darkest Hour is one of the four great songs from her 2017 EP “Like Water” that was also featured on The Flash soundtrack! This is a hauntingly […]

Reggae tinged '90s Ambient Electronica packed in an essential Greatest Hits compilation
After over a year without an official release since their 1997 fourth studio album Orblivion, the pioneering and influential ambient electronic powerhouse from England, The Orb, finally broke their silence in November 1998 with U.F.Off – The Best of the Orb, a greatest hits album. A surprise to most Orb listeners, U.F.Off was a calculated […]
Amason – Kelly (Official Video)
Smooth 80s style pop rock reinvented by the Swedish supergroup
The Guardian considers Amason, the Stockholm based, Swedish indie pop band a “Supergroup”. This claim is not entirely unfounded because all the band members of Amason have a rich musical background, and are stars in their own right. In fact, this is how The Guardian’s Paul Lester described Amason in his “New Band of the […]
Ta-Ku – We Were In Love (Official Music Video)
Revisiting Our Best Songs Of The Week
Check out our #SongOfTheWeek from September 2013 – “We Were In Love” by Australian multi-disciplinary artist, producer, and beatmaker Regan Mathews aka Ta-ku from his album “Songs To Break Up To”. A brilliant remake of Jhené Aiko‘s emo freestyle breakup superhit, “Comfort Inn Ending,” “We Were In Love” is a romantically moody epic flip that […]
Michigander – Stolen (Lyric Video)
A new lyric video initiative of the Music Bloggers Network
Michigander (aka Jason Singer’s) “Stolen“ is a beautifully crafted, intense indie track about love and heartbreak that’s still so off the radar. We like it very much and been listening to it regularly since we discovered it. So, it was but natural that it became our first choice for our first official Music Bloggers Network […]
Strangers on a Plane – All My Life (Official Video)
Plastic is bad but it never sounded so good!
We depend on plastic but now we are drowning in it. This is the stark reality in our #SongoftheDay music video “All My Life” by Strangers on a Plane. The Toronto based pop couple Evren Oz & Courteney Brookes who incidentally met on a plane (KLM 691 to be precise), make effusive chilled pop with […]
