Kyoto Connection - The First Voyage (2006/2010)



/Chilltronica, Art pop, Downtempo, World music, Electronic pop, Synth pop, Alternative pop, New Age/


Comment: Kyoto Connection is a quartet from Argentina, interweaving synthesized harmonies with bracing melodies running incessantly over the listener`s head. Natural instruments are finely balanced with electronic devices and small machines. The band obviously gets huge inspiration and signs from the 80`s synth pop, world fusion, new age, and electronic pop a la Pet Shop Boys. At times it does enter into more contemporary, dream pop-like milieus. On the other side, as you already know there is a big difference between new age and new age, chill out and chill out music. And KC makes difference for their own advantage for sure. Furthermore, KC`s sound used to appeal everywhere - to bigger crowds and more requiring circuits. By any means, Kyoto Connection is one of the best combos settled down at Jamendo.
