Phelina is living music
http://www.myspace.com/phelinamusic
I think 2008 is going to be a great year for music. So many wonderful unknows with music that is truly blissful and just plain phenomenal. Phelina produces just that kind of music. An unknown group of artists, performers, that if you asked me, I would say is a diamond in the rough. You want to hear something mellow and upbeat. Give these two a listen~Peilo
“Phelina and Daniel met one day to play nice music together. This site shows the first results of their work.”

BIO: Phelina 18, and Daniel 22 are from a mall town in Germany, and are really just at the start of their sublime musical career together. In 2007 , they played in a school musical together and he asked Phelina if she’d like to put together some tracks with him because he was so impressed by her voice that he could not resist. They then wrote 3 songs together and recorded them. My draw dropped after comunicating with them in regards to my request for a bio. Kinda hard to believe once you hear their tracks that she is 18, and they just started together. Perfectly arranged mellow, and upbeat tunes that, makes you stop and think. Real Music.
They have both loved to make music pretty much their entire lifes. A real passion for sound and lyrics with meaning. Phelina’s experience is basicly from just singing around the house and small performances at school. It’s truly amazing that they just started together. Daniel on the other hand was in a rock band for 5 years, mostly music support for bigger german artists, but true musical talent. ~Peilo

New York, New York………..Since the beginning of time, two things have been true: Humans needs food and Humans need to create music. Combine these two prehistoric needs and you find the group Radioactive Sandwich. Slice One and Slice Two came together realizing they were starved for a more fulfilling, hearty breed of music. They felth that they needed to create a hearty, filling meal of music… not only for themselves, but also for the millions of starving people out there just like them.
Combining fresh breaks, groovy bass, and psychedelic synth lines, Radioactive Sandwich servers up a meal that will surely satiate even the strongest hunger.
Radioactive Sandwich has released 3 albums and provided remixes for Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo (feat. Peter Gabriel), and Kelly Sweet. They are currently at work on a 4th release and some more remixes. Keep a look out for new Sandwich coming soon to speakers near you!

Deadly Avenger (aka Damon Baxter)
It was hard to choose just one track to showcase but I went with one of my faves. “Chevy Chases Hair“, lol funny title, but an unbeliveable subtle electronic breakbeat track…ahhhh…just sooooo smooth, perfect driving music
Deadly Avenger – Chevy Chases hair
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
It’s midnight. Everything is quiet. The sound of owls compete for their space in the country soundscape with the creak of a 300 year old oak tree caressed by the wind. Filtering over the top like some kind of futuristic symphony orchestra the sonorous harmonies of weighty strings, floating over the electronic drums and ethereal vocals break through the calm. This is the sound of Deadly Avenger (aka Damon Baxter) hard at work in his studio, installed into his cottage in the Heart of the English countryside.
For the last three years Damon has been holed up in his country retreat hard at work on his new album, the follow up to the cult classic album “Deep Red”, which featured “We Took Pelham”, “Punisher” and “Black Sun”. Due for release in 2008, “Blossoms & Blood”, his stunning 2nd opus, is going to prove that it was truly worth the wait…
“The backdrop of my studio, looking out onto rolling fields inspires me”, says Damon. “Film music is what I love most and having such a dramatic outlook soaks into my work.”
Damon’s love for all things cinematic is evident all the way through his new recording. The storming opener “We Took Vegas” is a case in point and is influenced by Damon’s love of the epic audio/visual feast witnessed at the beginning of “Star Wars” (possibly the finest opening scenes in movie history!) while other tracks such as “Mal Paso Pt II”, “The Reveal” and the title track showcase his talent for juxtaposing sweeping, epic string parts with electro breaks. Another aspect of the Deadly Avenger sound can be heard in “Invincible”, “Chevy Chases Hair” and “Gekko” which reveal a techno influence that ups the tempo, but retain his skill for harmony and melody. There are also some shining examples of leftfield down-tempo tracks in “Sequola”, “Suite from Near To Me”, “Exit” and “Everyday is Valentine”, while some tracks combine all of these elements with stunning results – “The Wraith”, “800 Heroes” and “Midgets for Seven”.
“The thing I like most about film music is that there are no boundaries. You can team up lush orchestral pads with heavy industrial bass and it works!”
It’s clear the music on this album is inspired by Damon’s admiration of the great film composers (such as John Williams, Lalo Schifrin and the mind blowing Luchi DeJesus!). But his love affair with hip-hop/electro breaks, Americana, synthpop, electronica, and soundtrack selections by the likes of Tarantino are all evident too. It’s this melting pot of influences that are fused to create an incredible album and a deep appreciation of cinematic sounds.
Tracks from his first album have been used in a number of TV, trailers and film productions including Lord of The Rings, Scary Movie 3, Human Traffic and The Calcium Kid and the new album is sure to follow that trend. There has already been excitement from the synch world in “Blossoms & Blood” resulting in uses in “C.S.I. New York”, the main BBC theme for coverage of The Commonwealth Games, Sky/Fox Sports, and a recent Sky TV advertising campaign. Deadly’s music is also used in “Beyond The Rave” – a brand new production from the masters of UK horror, Hammer Films. Damon has also just started work on scoring a full-length movie (music to picture).

Blood Ruby – Female-Fronted Atmospheric Alternative Music
http://www.myspace.com/bloodruby
Some more good music in the form of a friend request on MySpace…this is very mellow and different, give it a listen. ~Peilo
Blood Ruby creates atmospheric alternative music somewhere in the vein of dream pop, ethereal, and neoprogressive rock. The band’s two subtly emotive female vocalists ply a range that spans from lyrical, sweet mezzo, Shoegaze, Psychedelic, Gothic all the way to to smoky, jazz-rooted alto, delivering haunting melodies and crafted lyrics full of evocative imagery and cinematic storytelling. Spacious mixing and production lend prismatic detail to the music’s lush instrumentation.
The result is a textured, layered sound that takes listeners on an ambient, often dark, and sometimes epic journey through drifting landscapes of emotion, strange places, and complex characters.

Susanna And The Magical Orchestra…….
is in fact a duo with keyboardplayer Morten Qvenild and singer Susanna Karolina Wallumrød. (Morten is a former member of Jaga Jazzist and Shining, he quitted to concentrate on this duo and his own trio called In The Country.
Their debut-album was released in Norway in February 2004, and some time later in Europe and in Japan, and received very good critics around the world. List of lights and buoys contains highly personal interpretations of Dolly Parton´s Jolene and Leonard Bernstein´s Who Am I as well as nine originals that show a suprising degree of maturity, especially considering the writers young age and the fact that they operate in a landscape that requires a good deal of songwriting skills to hold your attention. Susanna And The Magical Orchestra combines the availability of the traditional popmusic, the strictness of the electronica and the improvisation in the jazzmusic.
Melody Mountain is out in the stores now!
Singer Susanna Wallumrød has a unique way of making a song her own, and to fill the lyrics and melodies with the emotional content they require. This was made very clear with her stunning interpretation of Dolly Parton´s classic Jolene, recorded for the duo´s debut album List Of Lights and Buoys (2004). A song covered by many artists, but seldom with such heartfelt sincerity. With Melody Mountain they have chosen to do an album of only interpretations, some quite radical, of mostly well-known songs, all personal and moving performances with Morten Qvenild´s naked and to the bone playing an important part in the overall soundscape. Full track list includes Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen), It´s A Long Way To The Top (AC/DC), These Days (Matt Burt) “Condition Of The Heart” (Prince), “Love Will Tear Us Apart” (Joy Division), “Crazy, Crazy Nights” (Kiss), “Don´t Think Twice, It´s All Right” (Bob Dylan), “It´s Raining Today” (Scott Walker), “Enjoy The Silence” (Depeche Mode) and “Fotheringay” (Fairport Convention).
Dictionary definition of the word magical…
Boomcat US
Their astonishing, heartbreaking deconstruction of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” could keep you awake for days
Leeds Guide UK
For one thing, its fucking gorgeous.
Dustedmagazine.com US
It’s an album of cover songs, and it’s not the kind that coyly avoids well-known songs. On the contrary, “Melody Mountain” begins with Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which has been sung by Jeff Buckley and many others. Ms. Wallumrod starts out quietly but not at all timidly, and her partner, Morten Qvenild, does almost nothing: his occasional chords could almost be reverberations of his partner’s voice.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING~
“A collection of discoveries and manipulations that create a collage of sounds that delicately encases the listener. Renfro meld eclectic elements that produce dreamy, serene down-tempo with a multitude of components to absorb. The result is seemingly complex and layered sounds that also have simplicity. One spin of the album offers an airy, atmospheric vibe but subsequent listens have you deconstructing each individual noise, glitch and blip….comparable to the more subtle elements used on Thom Yorke’s solo release, “The Eraser”. Combine that with the gentle vocals of Branney and you have distinctive, innovative, serene electronic music that explores the poetic.” (Ashley Hampson in Exclaim! Magazine)
“Delicately bruised sensitive signatures coaxed to life by twinklesome snow-globe affected electronics and softly sighed deliveries… sweetly beguiling yet hurting and distant. Arrestingly fragile….is going to break a fair few hearts once it escapes on to the more clued up hi-fi’s of the record buying community” (Losing Today – The Indie Music Magazine)
