Hi everybody, new year, new resolutions and time to reactivate my Blog again. There has been a lot of exciting new releases in the past year, so I'll try to present some of my favorites here.
First of all I would like to recommend to you the 2nd Tunnelvisions Album called "The Celestial Ritual". The two guys from Netherlands manage to mix 80's synth sounds, Afro House Rhythms and Deep 4/4 beats with unique Vocals to create their very own special style.
Here is what the Label Atomnation says about the Album:
The long awaited 2nd album from Tunnelvisions is out now! The album is chopped up into four 12-inch records – Ritual I, II, III, and IV. The album's theme tells of a story told long ago, in a land far away, where there lived 11 chiefs, each named after a corresponding constellation: Mbosa, Nalulu, Ottokar, Imaja, Khan, Kudja, Rafaka, Xoji, Oishi, Mosu and Umai. Each year as the trees lost their leaves and the days got shorter, the chiefs came together to perform a sacred ritual. In this ritual, they honored the gods with their gifts and celebrated the new year to come.
Rafaka's Song is my personal favorite. You can check it out on soundcloud and build your own opinion.
