Free Music Notes for Beautiful My Child (Dig)Free Music Review: Hypnotic musical landscapes Hit: 5 Stars
I've gotta completely disagree with the last review. I happen to be a BIG dance fan and I love both of the CD's by this band. Yes, it is confusing telling this band apart from the Euphoria compilations but there's more to dance music than endless thumping beats. The BAND Euphoria takes the grooves and beautiful production techniques of electronica and brings more of a guitar and song driven approach to the music.They create hypnotic musical landscapes that are really original. I think it works beautifully for Dance fans, rock fans, guitar fans and just plain lovers of interesting, unique music.
Free Music Review: Music From CSI: Crime Scene Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album after hearing the second song,"Little Gem", on the hit CBS show CSI:Crime Scene. This is one of those bands that you hear all over the place(tv,films etc.)as their music seems to fit many moods. My favourite songs are the hypnotic "Desert Drive","1001 Dreams" and the Bert Jansch-Pentangle influenced "Devil May Care". Euphoria adds a very original approach,the slide guitar and beats, to a genre that needs a breath of fresh air.
Free Music Review: My car's unofficial soundtrack Hit: 5 Stars
A night drive in the BMW with this cranked up and my riders say it's like being in a European movie. A fine and recommended experience.
Free Music Review: Take a listen Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great Cd. Check out the standouts, "Sweet Rain," "Desert Drive" and "Devil May Care." Beautiful Atmospheric sounds.
Free Music Review: 'Chill' album, but in a good way... Hit: 4 Stars
What snared me on Euphoria was the 'slide guitar meets beats' blurb, plus this Six Degrees label. What keeps me coming back is how darn smooooooth this CD is. It's background music without being dull. Chilled without being asleep. It's hard to draw any particular comparison to other groups, as certain songs call to mind (for me) anything from Forest For The Trees to Sneaker Pimps to Sixteen Horsepower or Calexico. Calling it techno country & western doesn't do the music justice, but the slide guitar really does carry the focus of the melody, and gives something of a rural, western feel to the music.It certainly is not a CD to make you want to get up and shake your tookas, but there is a diffuse energy that courses through the CD ('sweet rain' for example jumps with a nice skitter step). I'm more partial to the insturmental tracks over the ones with (admittedly soft) female vocals, but others probably prefer the vocal tracks. The beats and drums have a bit of a global feel to them on occasion, with what sounds like dumbeks or bongos on certain tracks replacing the typical pre-programmed rhythm section. This would be one heck of a CD for a warm and rainy summer day, sitting on the covered porch with a cool drink, watching the rain splash off the dust-cleaned cacti.
