Label: ECM

Type:  Music

Genre : Alternative Jazz

Style : World music

Favorite Song :  Saga


Musical performance: I must admit I was a bit depressive in recent weeks. I listened more than a dozen albums and none were good in an audiophile perspective. I hate those moments. Back to my personal music collection with an album of my ex girlfriend (too much information, right?). Anyway, the musical performance is really good. A incredible fusion between jazz and Indian/Pakistan music. This recording is : Wow !

Sonic performance: The sound is very natural. The soundstage is very well balanced. The recording lacks a bit of dynamic for an audiophile label but it is a real great album.

Genre : Folk

Style : Atlernative Folk

Favorite Song :  Bad Ritual

Musical performance : My friend Daniel gave me this album for my birthday and he said : you must listen That !! That's what i did. Timber Timber is a pop-folk canadian's band. This record is in the spirit of the last album of Patrick Watson (an other Canadian musician): with a lot of sounds, and a great work of the musical structure.  

Sonic performance: The sound of this record is focused on the voice (very depth and very present). The soundstage is tiny but also very depth. It's a very interresting artistic choice.
