Mauro Borgarello, "Hunting Eagle"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a114034/hunting-eagle

Sweetly haunting, we get the flavor of the swoop of the hunter, in the title track, . . . a composition in a genre of it's own . . . something that lifts and paints . . . gives the listener wings and creates an enlightening scope of vision before the listener's eyes . . . . . . .. . . .

"Narciso," a jazzy/bluesy piece, with a sparkle of light that fits an evening's mood as one dreams and ponders over the day . . . . begins with a traditional feel, the piano dances and weaves in mesmerizing grace .. . halfway through, this piece changes mood entirely, enriched by the beat of drums spiced with the cry of some unknown creature (perhaps the sigh of the singing saw) and the evening darkens . . . something wild slides into the evening discourse . . . and becomes one with the jazzy notes . . . .

"Solitude Blues" . . . so inviting with strings and the electrifying guitar . . . full of depth and layers was exciting and changeable as the other two pieces . . .

This is an extraordinary album . . . the music composed with a strong touch of creativity and uniqueness rather than the traditional and is given to be more expressive than the usual touches of jazz/blues/rock . . .

Aufklarung, "Seven Lights for Our Lady Melancholy"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a114060/seven-lights-for-our-lady-melancholy

More beautiful, peaceful, celestial piano can not be imagined . . in this lifetime, or the next . . . Soothing flows of melody, like waves of balm and a warm peacefulness radiates over the listener . . . and there is nothing else . .. but this beauty . . .

Alexander Franke, "New World"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a113875/new-world

Piano has it's secret way of tenderly moving 
into my soul and heart and settling in, 
like a cat on my lap, 
or an ephemeral butterfly 
dancing in the sunshine . . . 
and I stay still, 
holding it all to me . . . 
holding it tightly 
to my inner self that quivers 
with a desire and hunger 
for the spiritual expressions of music, 
listening raptly, 
and being moved . . . sometimes to tears 
and sometimes to smiles . . . 
That describes what this lovely album does for me . . Beautifully . . .

Piano de la tour, "Partial Tecno Piano Reword"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a113840/partial-tecno-piano-reword

OH MY! I like this . .. It captivated me on the first notes, the first beat . . . A mixture of Eastern exotic and twinkling piano expresses itself in "Languid Piano," which was quite as beautiful as scented smoke . . . "SmoulderPiano" was experimental . . . crashing through the environment . . racing the sun across the sky . . . stripping the leaves from the trees like a storm of emotions . . . the heart races along . . . and a constant thrumming of solidity shores up the whole piece . . . as a nearly indecipherable tone maintaining a foundation of calm . . .This was quite nice . .. a piano that sounds almost industrial and experimental . . yet cohesive and emotional . . .

Rogier van den Brink, "The Night And Me"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a104323/the-night-and-me

I love world music . . and this Mongolian song is so beautiful . . . Wistfully melancholic . . . the emotion grabs your throat during the first few notes . . . truly beautiful, the instruments, melodic flow, and the vocals . . . the entire composition is so harmoniously full of feeling that I found the tears running down my cheek . . I was so disappointed when it ended . . . and had to listen several times . . . Into my favorites . . .

Artist share: Re-Lab

http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/346032/re-lab

Treat yourself, your ears, your heart to Re-Lab's music . . . especially his piano which is so moving . . . emotional . .. and fully articulated . .. in a variety of styles; usually classical but often with so many nuances; and showcasing a lightly flowing hand over keys that twinkle and shine with soul. This artist is very impressive . . . I wish I could see him in action . . .

Re-Lab, "De una Luna Oscura un Gran Amanacer"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a113831/de-una-luna-oscura-un-gran-amanacer

Re-Lab's music makes me think of gentle breezes kissing the wind-chimes . . the sounds of early morning when the sun is about to smile . .. Beautiful music, beautiful soul . .

The universe . . the cosmos . . so mysterious, so vast, so eternal . .. we are in awe and always curious . . . as Pascal expresses in his music . .. bringing us, emotionally into the dreams and fantasies of space . . . Beautiful, and ethereal . .. relaxing yet inspiring . .

Cello, so warm and round . . . like memories and dreams . . . I reflect on peace and love, as I listen . ..

Vilovery Landscape, "Vilovery Landscape"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a113731/vilovery-landscape

I had this music on all day, as it was suitable for relaxation and calm. . . taking the listener to a place of serenity and repose . .. where the eye could travel forever . . . the sky so big and blue and the waters reflecting the dancing light of the sun . . . peaceful music, like being on retreat near a body of water, where the breezes run cool, tenderly relieving the stresses of life from the listener's shoulders . ..

Jaime Heras, "Earth"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a113624/earth

Wow . . how emotional and dramatic this production was .. . it leaves you breathless and visualizing magnificent things . . the beginning of everything . . . the beauty of life and the meaning of existence . . .. I especially loved the sound of the crying guitar, of which there were interludes . . . a song of space and time . . . I thought the flow and progression was particularly effective and channeled the attention of the listener directly down the line of thought that the artist envisioned . . .Excellent concept album!

Mancy, "Dogonić czas"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a113650/dogonic-czas

Time . . how it gets away from us . . our days walk away, never to be seen again . . . and those we love change and grow older. The things we held so tightly are gone or faded and tattered and torn . .. and memories must take the place of what was. Our dreams become crowded with longing for the past . .
This was a very sentimental journey . . beautiful, piano and instrumental . . . lifting up inside your heart with every moment . . yet wistfully sentimental. I loved this style of music; Mancy at his best!
