Various Artists - Jouets (2008)



8.8

/Folktronica, Toytronica, Modern classical, Child`s music, Ambient, Conceptual, Electro-acoustic, IDM, Organic electronica/

Comment: This album can be classified as a compilation of child`s music (by its technical side, just using the toys as the musical instruments). This was the first release for the f|m records (Singapore). It is mainly contemplative and quiet which at times branches out to uplifting progressions of folktronica (for instance, Springly Planet by Bed). Here are represented 14 tracks by various artists and by its stylistical array, however, incorporating all of those genres somewhat adjacent to toytronica/child`s music, though all of that is soaked in an infantile way. Here are represented Bosques de mi Mente, Daniel Dixon, akey, sonicbrat and many others. However, the list of artists veers from France to Japan, from Spain to Singapore. As sounding as the kind of sci-fi lullabies, download it for your child and for yourself.
