The Supreme Illusion

An impressionistic list with minimal vocal mixed with ambient, jazz and downtempo. It starts slow and builds mood with heavy downtempo beat peaking with Ani sings her magic. The list then moves on to trance/downtempo beat again. Altho' it might be a downtempo/danceable list, this list really doesn't have sustained beat since it tries to deliver message and impression instead of rythm. The beat is just a device. The message hopefully is visible. Some notes on songs: Amina is an icelandic quartet ala Sigur Ros, A Guy Called Gerald is a Parisian downtempo DJ, and DJ Krush is a japanese DJ with a penchant of mixing jazz into his tune.

Tuu - All Our Ancestors
Ravi Coltrane - Search For Peace
Ani DiFranco - Evolve
DJ Krush - Edge of Blues
A Guy Called Gerald - Humanity (Original)
Amina - Skakka

Update: A Guy Called Gerald is from Manchester, England. (sorry to all the great folks in Manchester. And thank you anon for updating me.)

    hmm, I didn't know that. I only notice they sound alike, except amina is somewhat faster than sigur ros.
