Todd Tobias “Massabu Evening Entertainments” Reviewed at Music Will Not Save You

A new adventure through unusual soundscapes led Todd Tobias to discover the complexity of aromas and suggestions of a Middle Eastern psychedelic with distinctly imaginary traits. It is an exotic parallel universe that concentrated by the American artist in the thirteen short traces of “Massabu Evening Entertainments”, resulting from a centrifugal of alienating rhythms and vapors, brought by an equally imaginary band that to a classic electric instrumentation, associates vintage organs and instruments of the oriental tradition.

Erik Nilsson “The Imperfect Tense” Reviewed at Global Music Magazine

Well, after years of maturity and development, he has found his sound made up of elements of folk, jazz, classical and contemporary experimental music. However, what Erik Nilsson is doing here is quite unusual. For example, Brian Eno is sure or Daniel Lanois similar music made him, but carries Nilsson’s new album “The Imperfect Tense” a very personal touch.

On the one hand, his music is minimalistic, on the other hand, there is still a lot in it. It looks transparent, but is composed of several layers and contains a lot of movement. The acoustic instruments used, such as the piano or the guitar, fuse with electronic sounds, yet an analogous impression remains. The sounds are flowing and at the same time the music is pulsing almost continuously.
