1. So glad this is on iTunes!!! Incredible music!!! - I have bought hard copies of this album three times it is that good :). The rhythms are so densely woven in these songs you can listen again and again and always find something new. Probably the greatest expression of down tempo music anyone will ever hear. This album will change how you listen to music forever. Bug Powder Dust is such an ill remix be careful not to blow your speakers and Trans Fatty Acid will leave you mind blown and speechless. I promise you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!!!!!

2. Start to Finish, one of the Best Albums of the s - I’m approaching listens. It’s perfect in the car, in the office, at home, on headphones, on your best stereo system. The first track, Heroes, is worth the price of purchase alone. Exceptionally fine chilled-down music that satisfies the heart and the mind.

2. This makes me dream of a better life - I absolutely love every one of these pieces of pure art. I found the min video on YouTube which didn’t have ads and I just felt even more compelled to purchase the real thing for myself. I try to listen on shuffle sometimes but I just love the default order so much. It flows so well. My favorite has to be Dragon Roost Island with Lost Woods and really the whole first set of songs as a second. This is simply amazing and helped me get through finals exams; I’m sure it will again.

3. YES - I am a HUGE Zelda fan, and I only just started playing last year! I usually don’t like remakes of music, but this wasn’t hot garbage like most Zelda remakes. I listened to all the music and know where it’s from, but it also has its own style! Playing Tri-force Hero’s right now, love it!!

1. Demonics - Rise of the Guardian - Thanks again for being so good at what you do. I think you know of some of the intense and amazing emotions I do. Do you see some of those emotions when you observe the sky and clouds drifting? It is amazing but for the sake of not sounding cheezy, I must cut myself off there. Wonderful work.

2. smooooth! - Jens Buchert makes the most beautiful music I've ever heard. I would put him right along side with Paul Hardcastle, who also makes beautiful in music when comes to jazz. Different styles, but good music is good music. Sensuous nights and driving music. Those two could come together and shut it down. Jens, OH YEAH!!!

3. Glad I found this one - I am a huge fan of electronic music, so when I stumbled upon this album and listened to a few of the tracks I decided that it had to be added to my collection.Jens Buchert really knows what it takes to remove you from the doldrums of the work day and help you escape to a place that puts you at peace. I recommend this album to anyone,as you will not be disappointed with it at all.

1. Impressed.. yet again - Gramatik never fails to put out good albums time after time after time after time… He is a fantastic producer capable of making some of the best beats around, and that is clear as soon as you begin to listen to any one of his songs. Although they're are a few on here that aren't quite my style, the majority of the tracks are excellent. If you're looking for music you can sit back and enjoy listening to than cop this album. The samples he uses are also clean, and well executed, not overdone like other producers trying to recreate something similar. Keep the good music coming Gramatik!

1. Oldies But Goodies - I own every single song in this album (from his previously dropped albums) and I can say without a doubt if you've never heard any of these songs before, then get this whole album. Gramatik is a genius when it comes to this sort of thing. Great tunes for getting focused or just background music. I must warn you, you'll get hooked! Love the new instrumental tracks though.

1. Amazing and Hope-filled - From the first song to the last, the sequel album has delivered in spades and touched my heart, and I’m sure many others’ as well. I find myself completely entranced and uplifted while listening to any one of the songs, even and especially the ominous beat of Hyrule Castle. My favorites are The Great Sea and Kass’ Theme followed by Zelda’s Lullaby, Revali’s Theme and The Legendary Hero but honestly they’re all so amazing and just synergize so well. Once again, Mikel has outdone himself. I was creeping into final exams (again) when I first saw the album on YouTube. I was so pleasantly surprised; I had no idea that a second one was coming. Despite all the stress and dread, each and every one of the new songs gave me hope and resolve to keep pressing forward so that I could one day Zelda & Chill.

1. Gramatik, Denis Jasarevic - This is the artist I saw last night, //, in San Diego at the Belly Up Tavern, Denis Jasarevic of Gramatik. I am late to this party and getting to know his music. He's a style genius. What is wonderful about music is that it can take you places. He took us all over the Mediterranean, including Tel Aviv, with a New York heartbeat. It was very cinematic. Some people really belong in music, he is one of them. I highly recommend all of his music including his live set.

1. Jens is a traveler's friend - I do a lot of international travel, and what with delays, screaming kids, endless hours in the air and jetlag, Jens is my savior. This music soothes me whether I'm at , feet reading a good book, or wandering through another foreign airport. It keeps me sane. So zen. Thanks Jens Buchert!

2. Escape From It All! - I guess I've been under a rock not to have discovered Jens Buchert's music sooner. This is some of the most relaxing and soothing music I've heard in a long long time and normally I keep listening for Ambient-type music. If this were any more soothing it would be in a sound effect machine, you know the ones with rain and ocean sounds. Anyway, I'm glad iTunes' links and samples lead me to Jens beautiful music, he truly is one very talented artist. In today's busy world it certainly is nice to get refreshed through music like this.

1. Awesome to chill to! - Dude I bought your Zelda album after hearing one single song and the same thing happened when I came across this album today! Your music is great and I really think you should explore doing a Donkey Kong Country album in your style. There’s tons of iconic songs to play around with like Stickerbush Symphony, Lockjaw’s Locker, and Forest Interlude to name a few. Anyways man keep up the fantastic work and I can’t wait to see what other albums you work on (hopefully DKC)

1. MARC CHAGAL - BEEN LOOKING FOR A DOWNTEMPO ALBUM FOR QUITE SOMETIME THE RELEASE OF THIS ALBUM COMES AS A TIMELY SURPRISE I WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS REFLECTIVE SUBTLE BALANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE TYPICAL THIEVERY STYLE THAT FOLLOWERS LOVE MATURE COMPOSED WITHOUT OVER DOING IT REDEFINING A WHOLE CONCEPT OF DOWNTEMPO THAT IS TRULY AN ART FORM TO LISTENERS EARS ITS LIKE VIEWING A MARC CHAGALS PAINTING IN YOUR VERY OWN LIVING ROOM THANKS ERIC

2. Great solo album, love TC, and I now love this too - Eric Hilton is / of the the group Thievery Corporation. I've been listening to them for many many years and this album is a very similar style. Very rexaing with soothing melodies and bass notes. Perfect for a hip lounge or a relaxed house party background music. So glad to see it highlighted here on iTunes! Remarkable! I've always had to search for Thievery Corporation , so good job Apple.

1. Things have gone meh - Tosca has gone too far with the lyrics in my opinion. Maybe a few tracks, but it’s too much. It’s not the downtempo that I enjoyed so much in the past. I put them on Shuffle last night and things were awesome until tracks from this album came up. Sorry - but the new direction isn’t working for me. At times it feels lazy - put down pretty simple beats and fill it up with some singing.
2015-03-26

2. What happened to Tosca? - It's gotten progressively worse with each album, and this is where I draw the line. There are basically no instrumental tracks here, and the vocals are either lackluster or unbelievably terrible. The whole vibe of this album is off putting. They have officially abandoned everything that people liked them for in the first place. I'm going to go listen to Suzuki and Kruder & Dorfmeister now, and hope that sound will one day return.

3. Instrumentals Please - Same story here over the last few albums, brilliant music / brutal vocals. I don't get it, must be a European / Vienna thing. i guess I just don't know. I could write these lyrics overnight. The vocal vibe just kills the brilliance of the music. Something must be working for them to continue down this path. i miss the old Tosca that was far more instrumental. i'll stick around though. Respect regardless

1. MARK BARROTT CHILL CD IS LAST-CALL MUSIC AFTER ALL-NIGHT DANCE PARTY - When you listen to the new CD by MARK BARROTT called SKETCHES FROM AN ISLAND, close your eyes and imagine you are on the island of Ibiza (pronounced ee-beez-uh by the people who live there) in the Mediterranean listening to a chill-out sunrise set after dancing and partying all night. The music moves from gentle, pulsing, electronic beat music to breezy, multi-layered new age sounds. The album is structured as the last set of a beach party that starts every summer night on Ibiza at sunset and goes until about a.m., so the first tune is the most upbeat, the next two you could still sway and swirl to on the dance-floor, and the following half-dozen tracks get slower, softer and more gentle as the night ends and everyone cools down. In fact, the last three tunes are full of the sounds of birds stirring and chirping at sunrise (there is a long history of Ibiza club DJs mixing bird sounds into their legendary sets), and the last : of the final track is ALL birds. This is a unique, refreshing, chill CD by one of the new masters of the genre.

1. Alchemy Review - First I'd like to mention, this album was actually released as a th Anniversary limited edition vinyl back in late , which I had already purchased before their " Years of the Best" compilation came out. That particular version was missing the last two tracks on this album (SFTG explained to me via YouTube comment that the tracks were omitted in order to ensure better sound quality on vinyl.) But anyway, onto the actual review. This album (their eleventh proper) is probably my favorite effort from them since 's The Maze. On Alchemy SFTG are embracing the sounds of the past, using a lot of vintage synthesizers that resemble the ones they used on Kin (in fact I believe they are the same ones but citation needed). They seem to be mixing their old sounds with their newer ones, while their are songs like the saxophone-featuring "Cradle", the dub-influenced "Forward Charge" and the smooth, melodic "Blink Of An Eye", there are also a handful of darker tracks akin to their newer work, such as the dissonant "Sharpline" and the spooky "Tumbla". Overall though, this is one of their best in a long time, my personal favorite tracks are "Cradle" and "Doves". A must listen for any returning SFTG fan.

1. Beautiful Album - This album is a masterpiece. It plays like a cinematic experience. Lush soundscapes envelope you. JP Cooper’s vocals on “Old Friend” and “No Place to Hide Away” are a revelation and pure sonic bliss that drip with soul. They are my favorite songs of , maybe and beyond too. The album is worth it for those tracks alone but its captivating throughout.

1. I can't get enough, no one else comes close! - No other electronica comes close to this. I listen to this year round but most specifically when I'm at the beach, sipping a Corona and watching the waves come in… I turn this on the rest of the year and it just takes me to my happy place on the beach : ) Seriously this is amazing, I buy every album that Vector Lovers makes and this is by far my favorite so far, just brilliant.

2. elecstatic! - YAYAYAY - Good for Soma for picking this up. i am sure everyone who 'gets' this stuff thinks they are the only one who has ever heard of 'vector lovers.' surely there are lots of 'us.' let's hope so. having said that i'm not sure i won't still treasure the more mid-tempo original of tokyo gliterati. it's like musical chocolate cake, don't wolf it! :)

1. Eric’s Best So Far!! - Fantastic Eric - thanks for the album - I LOVE it!! Been listening to it at work for six straight hours and it keeps getting better every time it starts over. I’d elaborate but since I’m supposed to be working I won’t devote the time now to write a proper review. Thanks again and I’ll be looking for your next solo effort! Salut
