Air
Le Voyage dans la Lune (2012)

*I proud to highly
Recommended!*

When George Méliès released Le Voyage Dans La Lune in 1902, audiences had never seen anything like it. A fantastical caper in which a band of astronomers build a rocket, prang the man in the moon right in the eye, battle aliens and fall back to earth in 14 minutes flat, it saw its maker hailed as a cinémagicien, weaving spells on celluloid. Sci-fi cinema was born.

For Air to accept a commission to score Méliès’ film is, of course, rather less monumental. Few contemporary directors are likely to be paying close attention, and nor will Méliès himself be seeking out Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel to pen a trip-hop score for his next blockbuster, given he perished in 1938.

The soundtrack, extended here to 11 tracks and 31 minutes, works in places. At its best, it offers a sort of steampunk take on the sci-fi score: ‘Cosmic Trip’ and the freakbeat-tinged ‘Sonic Armada’ are powered along on wheezing Moog and piston-like drums, the latter featuring a guitar solo that sounds like the Clangers jamming. But hopes for a track of the calibre of, say, ‘Kelly Watch The Stars’ slowly vaporise. We come closest on ‘Seven Stars’, a cooed serenade by Beach House’s Victoria Legrand, backed by electronics that glimmer like distant nebulae. But in general, we get percussive propulsion or songcraft, never both at once – and on tracks like the languid ‘Moon Fever’, Godin and Dunkel appear to have their phasers set to snooze.

Retrofuturism can be a dangerous game: in trying to summon up the wonder of the past dreaming of the future, sometimes you end up with BacoFoil spacesuits and robots built out of cardboard boxes. But on ‘Le Voyage Dans La Lune’, Air do something worse. They risk making a trip to the stars sound almost boring - and that is something Méliès would never have countenanced.

“The album was made for the re-make of the silent film!”

“Le Voyage is, given its origins, a small wonder all on its own!”

*Porta's favourite!*

The French band Air is a duo consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel. They went to school in Versailles, (Lycée Jules Ferry) before forming the band in 1995. Their critically acclaimed first album Premiers Symptômes was followed by the release of Moon Safari, The Virgin Suicides (soundtrack), 10,000hz Legend, and Talkie Walkie. In 2007, Air released the album Pocket Symphony and Love 2 in 2009. The Seven Stars Songfacts reports that Air was commissioned to write a new soundtrack for the premiere of the newly restored Georges Méliès’ silent film, Le Voyage Dans La Lune, at the 2011 Cannes film festival. Despite Méliès’ film only having a runtime of 14 minutes, Air still produced enough music to fill an entire album, which will be released as their seventh LP on February 7, 2012.

Esperanza Spalding
Radio Music Society (2012)

*I proud to highly, highly..y
Recommended!*

Radio Music Society, the upcoming album from last year's winner of the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, jazz vocalist, bassist, and composer Esperanza Spalding is intended not as a sequel to her 2010 Chamber Music Society but as a "companion." The artist explains:

Originally I thought it would be fun to release a double album. One disc with an intimate, subtle exploration of chamber works and a second one in which jazz musicians explore song forms and melodies that are formatted more along the lines of what we would categorize as "pop songs." Those are the two things that really interest me, and it intrigues me to think about different presentation approaches while writing each kind of song.

Radio Music Society is intended as an application of jazz sensibility to pop ideas.

In "Radio Song," which opens the album, she describes what it's like to be riding along in a car, turning on the radio and coming across a snippet of a song that you've never heard before, Yet it immediately touches something almost mystical in you. It points, she explains, to the power of music to create an intimate connection between the artist and the listener, the power to create a "magical moment." Formally, the song itself does the thing it describes, as it captures that moment as the radio is turned on and the DJ sends "sweet salvation" with a song that speaks to you. It is a powerful introduction to a powerful album.

Music is an emotional experience--too much intellectualizing can kill it. An older poet once said: "We murder to dissect." Spalding puts it her own way: "Art doesn't thrive with too much analyzing and explaining. The idea of 'radio music' is very broad."

Very broad indeed: of the dozen tracks on the album, ten of which are Spalding originals, variety is the key. "Cinnamon Tree" is a gentle celebration of friendship, while "Land of the Free" is a dramatic social commentary on the problem of false imprisonment. "Black Gold" could pass for an anthem on Black pride and the African American ancestry, while "Hold on Me" is an old style bluesy unrequited love song with a contemporary twist or two. "Vague Suspicions" takes a keening look at how we deal with the horrors of modern wars, while "City of Roses" is a brightly energetic tribute to her hometown, Portland, Oregon (" a little piece of heaven").

Stevie Wonder's "I Can't Help It" and Wayne Shorter's "Endangered Species" with original Spalding lyrics are the two cover tracks on the album. Spalding credits Joe Lovano, who plays on the track with the insight that when you're playing a classic you need to put your own stamp on it. The key to her interpretation, she says, is "a dance between subtlety and effervescent eagerness." Gretchen Parlato, Becca Stevens, and Justin Brown join her on the vocals. Pianist Leo Genovese had originally suggested playing the Shorter composition live, and they had been "saturated for years exploring" the tune before she wrote the lyrics. Proceeds from the song will go to a conservation association (just as proceeds from "Land of the Free" will go to the Innocence Project).

Joining Spalding on various tracks besides Lovano, Genovese and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington are Jack DeJohnette, Billy Hart, Jef Lee Johnson and Lionel Loueke. Portland mentor Janice Scroggins plays piano on "Hold on Me" and the horn section of the American Music Program, a youth band directed by Dr. Thara Memory, is featured on four tracks. Other vocalists include Algebra Blessett, Lalah Hathaway, Leni Stern and hip-hop artist, Q-Tip.

“The kids on Twitter were outraged while grownups everywhere cheered !”

*Porta's favourite!*

Born in 1984, bassist, singer and composer Esperanza Spalding began playing in small jazz and blues venues around her hometown of Portland, Oregon. Soon after picking up the acoustic bass at the late age of 14, she helped form Noise for Pretend, an eclectic band fusing jazz and pop for which she sang and played bass (often simultaneously). The group signed with indie rock imprint Hush Records, which released two albums of their original compositions.

Spalding continued to branch out, playing with jazz groups as well as leading her own septet and trio. In 2002 she joined the hip-hop group Black Science Tribe, which gained a sizable following touring along the West Coast.

Since moving East to attend the Berklee College of Music, Ms. Spalding has regularly worked as a freelance bassist and singer, both locally and internationally. Ms. Spalding has worked with many notable Grammy-winning artists such as pianist Michel Camilo, vibraphonist Dave Samuels, saxophonist Joe Lovano, violinist Regina Carter, guitarist Pat Metheny, and singer Patti Austin.

She has also performed as a member of the Boston Pops, with drummers Bill Stewart (John Scofield, Chris Potter, Joe Lovano), Terri-Lyne Carrington (Herbie Hancock), Mark Walker (Paquito D’Rivera), as well as guitarist Adam Rogers (Michael Brecker, Chris Potter), saxophonist Seamus Blake (Mingus Big Band, Bloomdaddies), and trumpeter Byron Stripling and performed as an opening act for comedian and sometimes-jazz drummer/vocalist Bill Cosby.

Owl City
All Things Bright And Beautiful (2011)

*I proud to highly
Recommended!*

"Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there," Owl City's Adam Young sings on his new album, clearly outlining the underlying escapist emotion that inspired the record. The aptly-titled "All Things Bright And Beautiful" is the much-anticipated follow up to 2009's "Ocean Eyes" that shot up the album charts after the massive global success of his hit single "Fireflies."

Deeply rooted in hyper-melodic synth pop, Young is a master at crafting pristine and feel-good pop gems. The singer, who is notoriously shy and famously talented, uses his music to paint a whimsical world of butterflies, angels, astronauts, bees and sunny skies that is loaded with an uplifting message of hope and imagination.

On "All Things Bright And Beautiful," this modern-day Christopher Cross challenged himself to divert a little from his signature synth pop sound by successfully exploring a few new sonic textures that may surprise some. Good examples are his gentle experimentations with hip hop on "Alligator Sky" (that features Los Angeles MC Shawn Christopher) and the Euro dance pop stylings of "The Yacht Club" that he recorded with Lights' singer Valerie Poxleitner.

But Owl City truly shines when delivering delicate and romantic pop tracks like "Galaxies," "Angels" and "Hospital Flowers" that should please the same crowd that embraced "Fireflies" in a such a big way.

Very personal is the song "January 28, 1986" that includes a sample of a memorial speech U.S. president Reagan delivered after the space shuttle Challenge disaster. Young was born in 1986 and he wrote the song to convey what it was like to be from the year that was marked by such a big national tragedy.

Regardless of his mild sonic experimentations, Young never strays too far from the sound that resonated with so many. "All Things Bright And Beautiful" delivers exactly the dreamy and joyous sunburst pop that his fans crave for. It may at times be formulaic to some, but endlessly imaginative to most.

“Soppy nostalgia that bares little else!”

*Porta's favourite!*

It’s been eight years since the release of The Postal Service’s ‘Give Up’, and we’ve still got wannabes channeling their inner Gibbard while vying for the title of most emotionally over the top. Owl City’s no different with his gooey, nostalgic third offering that once again drips with saccharine-sweet sentimentality, the musical equivalent of overhearing tweens wax poetic at the mall.

Attempts at “stirring” imagery (‘Angels’, ‘Honey And The Bee’) to articulate the thoughts of a man in love find you wondering if throwing grenadine on the record player might get the point across more quickly.

WOOD WOOD’s Autumn/Winter 2012/13 collection inspiration comes from the British college culture, the campus feeling and royal formalities of Britain. Ideas occurred from several trips to London where streets are teeming with uniformed pupils at that time of day when school finishes.

The formal and sublime atmosphere around Buckingham Palace is a strong foundation in the design approach to »The Kingdom« collection. The main inspiration combined with WOOD WOOD aesthetics form a strong and wearable collection of fashionable basics.

Delay Trees
Delay Trees (2010)

*I proud to highly
Recommended!*

Delay Trees aren’t afraid to go big—we’re talking U2 big. Guitars shimmer and stretch, cymbals ripple outward, vocals echo just enough to give them some size. It’s an ambitious sound they crank out on their debut full-length, but it’s also a welcoming, approachable sound. Where the Edge keeps you at a distance with his sonic wall, these guys welcome you in. There’s space in these songs to feel them out, pull at their pieces and find deep melodies. The slow build of opener “Cold” eases us into this cool, glittering soundscape before “Cassette 2012” cuts through the atmosphere with a leaner chug. From there, the album moves through its dreamy songs at a deliberate pace. Nothing on the record feels rushed. Each swell of sound is given its time and space to fully grow. It all builds to the wonderfully tense closer “4:45”, which keeps you waiting for the band to break into theatric crashing. They never do. Instead, they churn on with their dream-pop sound. It may rely a bit too heavily on mid-tempo—there’s not a lot of pace-changers after “Cassette 2012”—but there is a subtle vitality to this sound that keeps it from going stale. It’s not easy to be both immediate and hazy, but Delay Trees combine the two poles nicely here.

“Delay Trees are young, but their mix of shoegazing walls, melancholy dream pop, cool art rock and 90s indie sounds very controlled and ready.”
— Teemu Fiilin / We Are Helsinki

“Majestic yet mellow, insanely pleasant yet chillingly melancholic with a dreamy disposition – and the BEST ALBUM of 2010.”
— Peter Krogholm / Allscandinavian

“The Helsinki-based foursome delivers track after another of beautiful minimalist dream pop songs with a nice blend of melancholy and hopefullness - just about ideal music for the dark autumn evenings.”

Delay Trees is a four-piece band from Helsinki and Hämeenlinna, southern Finland. The frontman is Rami Vierula that you can hear singing on the songs. On their website, you could read below their band name: "Tender pop songs that will melt your ears." TRUE. How? The last cold, rainy and cloudy days of September in Paris this year perfectly fits to the songs of Delay Trees. I discovered them last week and some of you probably have already heard of them. They self-released their debut EP in March 2009, it's called 'Soft Construction' and begins very softly with the first song 'Desert Island Song'. Each time I listen to it, it makes me feel relaxed and dreamy, perfect before sleeping. It's the slowest song of the EP with the track 'Replay'. Their songs are the kind of songs you want to listen when staying at home, watching the rain drop outside your window, not that kind of depressing songs, but nostalgic, melancholy and soothing ones. You could easily like this band. Their songs are described as dreamy and mellow indie-pop songs, with a light touch of psychedelia. Delay Trees is one of my new favorite (Finnish) bands and Rami Vierula's voice has something to do with that.

"Indie pop quartet Delay Trees from Helsinki self-release Soft Construction is one of the best debut records I’ve heard this year. Soft Construction is expansive, putting a minimalist spin on dreampop, creating serenely melodic, melancholic pop uniquely their own. "
» J. Felton / Record Dept.com

"Delay Trees manages to tenderly melt the ears right off of your head and then surgically reattach them (being all smart and stuff)."
» Jason / Air & Sea Battle.com

“Whether they choose to play for American, British, or Finnish audiences, their serenely melodic interpretation of indie-pop is fulfilling enough to achieve success wherever the four-piece chooses to take it.”
» Mike Mineo / Obscure Sound.com

“They come in quietly, with modesty and not making noise, but indie pop quartet Delay Trees have just self-released what could become one of the best debut records to hit the scene this year.”
» Eduardo Alonso / Glue.fi

Porta' Eyes...Hotel of the year 2011—TENKU NO MORI: Kagoshima, JAPAN

2012-01-01T11:14:00.013+07:00

“Forests in the sky ”

***

Only 15 minutes’ drive from Kagoshima Airport through greenery of Japanese tea leaves, arriving at sumptuous villa type resort called “Tenku-no-Mori”, which means “Forests in the sky”. There are only 5 villas in this property, each villa has own bed room, living room designed and built by local carpenter, and own hot spring with very wide duckboards where you can relax yourself in deck chair at all times, again taking hot springs….., spa treatment in real natural environments. Always you can see 360 degree panoramic nice view of mountains including the Kirishima mountains. Strictly no other people bother the space, keeping pure privacy space in every villa. The theme is to forget time, past, present, future, looking at beautiful scenery in this full of nature. Go back to your basics, discover yourself, this is where you can find yourself. Dinner and breakfast served are stuff which are all produced in this property. Local chicken dishes are all very delicious. Bread are all home made, and very fresh. This proves high quality and heartfelt welcome in this resort.

Address: Minami-Kirishima Onsen, Syukukubota, Makizono-cho,
Kirishima-shi, Kagoshima 899-6507

Serenity may be hard to find, but not at Tenku no Mori Hotel & Spa. In this natural paradise, achieving a Zen-like state is effortless - just immerse yourself in your surroundings.

As soon as you touch down at Tenku no Mori, you'll understand why its name translates as "Forests in the sky" This stunning resort, located under the watchful eye of Japan's volcanic mountains and surrounded by rainforest, will quickly become your personal haven.

Gaze at Mt. Kirishima from your private villa. The resort houses just three villas for overnight stays (plus two for daytime relaxation), so you can be assured of a peaceful visit at the 123-acre property. Indulge in the spa's open-air baths and extensive menu of body treatments, and in specially prepared local foods such as organically grown vegetables and free-range Satsuma-jidori chicken.

Glide through your natural surroundings in a helicopter... you'll get a birds'-eye view of the volcanic Mt. Kirishima and Mt. Sakurajima. Or hop on a shuttle to one of the exclusive golf courses nearby - not even a bad round will disturb your inner peace.

The MONOCLE
Best resort

Tateo Tajima, the cheerful, mustachioed owner of a 160-year-old hot spring family ryokan, had a dream to create a resort based on the fundamental human need to forget the city, return to nature and reconnect with one's origins.

The result: Tenku no Mori private residences, which overlook the southern Kirishima mountain range in the Kagoshima Prefecture, on Japan's southern island of Kyushu. Tenku no Mori means "forest in the heavens" and the resort is a self-sufficient and sustainable 50-hectare plot. Fourteen years ago, Tajima cleared the site of thick bamboo scrub and built a spa consisting of three day-use and three overnight villas. But this is not a health farm.

An attentive troop tend to guests and grounds: Kazuko Tanaka cares for the terraced slopes,
farming a vast array of vegetables; Koji Sakoda is the resident
chicken-fancier; Minako Kohama helps guests with their food
and Norio Ueki is the caretaker.

Tenku no Mori ia as close to an entrirely restorative all-around life-affirming experience without being drenched with holisticism as one can get. It's also 15 minutes from Kagoshima airport, boasts one of the best in-room breakfasts we've ever sampled and is perhaps one of the most expensive places we've ever stayed.

SPECIAL*NIGHT:A COSY+Live Session 94 With Our Artist of the year 2011

2011-12-31T18:35:00.017+07:00

Twickenham, London, United Kingdom (2006 – present)
Noah and the Whale is an alternative/folk group formed in Twickenham, London, United Kingdom in 2006. They consist of Charlie Fink (vocals, guitar), Tom Hobden (fiddle, keyboards), Matt “Urby Whale” Owens (bass), Fred Abbott (keyboards, guitar) and Matthew Petulla (drums). Former members of the band include Doug Fink (drums) and Laura Marling (vocals, guitar) and Jack Hamson (drums). According to Songfacts, the band’s name is a marriage of the title of one of their favorite films, The Squid and the Whale and Noah Baumbach, who directed the movie.

They released their debut album Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down - which contains the UK Top 10 hit 5 Years Time - in August of 2008.

A year later, following the end of a relationship between Charlie Fink and Laura Marling, the band released The First Days Of Spring, a concept album written about Laura. It came with a film to accompany the album, written and directed by Charlie.

—ALBUM

Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down

The First Days Of Spring

Last Night On Earth

Last Night On Earth. This is the story of last night on earth. Ten tracks to tell one, many and countless tales. Ten tracks that look through the pane, beyond reflection, into the night dark and the lives burning brightly within it. It may be their last night on earth. It may just feel that way.

Our third album is adventurous like its journey from Bethnal Green synagogue via the Thames riverbank across the Atlantic, the United States and all manner of Los Angeles neon-lighted highways. But it is unmistakably Noah and the Whale.

The tracklisting gives little away but probably hints at the record’s expansive mood. Already NATW have been excited to offer up the free-to-try Wild Thing. Please enjoy it and share it and in due course listen to its sibling songs and do the same.

— from Stockholm —

The Quiet Nights Orchestra
Movin' (2011)

*I proud to highly
Recommended!*

The Quiet Nights Orchestra hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, released their debut album Chapter One all over the world in 2009 and it has not left anyone indifferent. The album proved above all that jazz is not an outdated genre and definitely not exclusive to jazz clubs alone. The band has always tried to find new ways of expression in their music but still glimpses back to classic jazz, maintaining the roots and pushing the envelope at the same time. This sounds clearly in their sequel, and instead of stomping in the same footsteps as their debut album, they have now developed their sound in the new album Movin'. This time, more band members moved into the composer room, which also demonstrates that the band is not a one man show! The post-production of the album has also played a central role in the recording process this time, adding elements such as strings, vibraphone and guitar as extra ingredients. Eminent guests such as the world-famous musician and arranger Magnus Lindgren and musician Roman Andrén gives the album extra spice!

The stunning band is the same as always consisting of Sofie Norling (Vocals), Peter Fredriksson (trombone / band leader), Jonne Bentlöv (trumpet), Magnus Dölerud (sax), Philip Neterowicz (piano), Peder Waern (double bass), Carl Ottosson (drums) and Jacob Johannesson (percussion). The sound on the album could be described as modern but with the same elegance as Jazz from the 50s and 60s. The compositions sparkle with fresh influences from genres such as soul, funk, house and even some hints of boogie, surf and classic cuban rumba. One thing is certain; that the band does not tread in the same footprint as before, but is movin' forward with a fiery enthusiasm!

Movin' features some great jazzy grooves from and every bit as wonderful as the first. There's wicked blend of modes going on here – a bit of modal jazz, some clubjazz rhythms, a touch of Schema groove, and also just a hint of older jazz modes too – all wrapped together with a youthful, vibrant energy that really makes the whole thing sparkle! If you've ever dug work on labels like Ricky Tick, Schema, or some of the best older Compost material, you'll find plenty here to love – and it's great to know that there's folks like Quiet Nights out there, still putting out grooves like this. Sofie Norling sings these beautiful vocals on a few tracks, but overall most of the set is instrumental – with a nice mix of trumpet, trombone, saxes, and even some vibes.

The Quiet Nights Orchestra Movin’ tracklisting:
01 Waves
02 Movin'
03 When We Fly
04 The Tryout
05 Falling For You
06 The Path
07 Dreaming
