Brasileira Camerata - Noves Fora (2007)
8.8
/World music, Improvised music, Experimentalism, Choro, Mood music, Electronic pop, Crossover/
Comment: there is another album from Brazil to be commented today. This bundle is an exciting appearance of carnival-tinged rhythms and circumspect progressions over the course of 7 tracks. More concretely, choro, a basic style originating from Brazil is more and less moderately mixed up with jazz-y elements, ethnic/World Music elements, brass-y fringes, some New Age-y and bossa nova whiffs and ethereal keyboard chords and programmed beats (in Tumaraca remix), i.e made up in an improvised way. However, contemplative moments are varied with more impulsive and careless times, thereby outbalancing the album as a whole emotionally. In a nutshell, it is an enjoyable listening session for sure.
LFC - Armoço Di Dumingu (2012)
8.9
/Avant-blues, Art rock, Improvised music, Experimental rock/
Comment: Brazilian experimental musician Lucas Pastina aks LFC sets out guitars only to create a hirsute instrumentally improvised landscape being obviously influenced by blues-y waxing and waning interactions and John Fahey-tinged distorted primitivistic yet compelling licks. Of course, because of being stylistically so restricted it might sound a little bit obsessive and glowering. This 4-track issue provides if the listener does have enough time for it she/he gets the genuine charm out of it. In any cases, Pastina`s music deserves attention.

Music For Your Plants - Expedition Chant Cup/Sampler EP (2012)
9.4
/Club dance, Electronic pop, Remixes, Alternative dance, Chilltronica, Alternative, Leftfield, Glo-fi, Indie dance/
Comment: obviously one of the best contemporary Estonian musical combos MFYP have changed a bit their style propelling more electronic and especially club dance-driven propulsions instead of glo-fi and indie tinged alternative fusion on their 4-track brand (the issue clocks in at 18 minutes) new one sampler. More concretely, this time it veers away distinctive Balearic vibes, esoteric New Age-hued gliding, bouncy trance mixed electronica and blissed-out exotica elements. In a word, let`s enjoy this sampler which has been managed in a way to acquire both visceral and brain dance tendencies for your pleasure.
