Ten Million Sounds - - Ten Million Sounds : Morning Light Compilation

Ambient/ Hip Hop
[FOR FREE]
<a href="http://tenmillionsounds.bandcamp.com/"></object></div> <ul> <li style="text-align: left;">14 songs to download</li> <li style="text-align: left;">You name the price (min 0,-)</li> <li style="text-align: left;">You get the link if you register your email address </li> <li style="text-align: left;">Listening recommendations: <a href="http://tenmillionsounds.bandcamp.com/track/desires" target="_blank">Desires</a></li> </ul> <div style="background-color: #45818e; color: white;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><b>Impressions</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Open your eyes dear reader, it's morning. You've been asleep a long time. The light can be harsh at first, but your eyes will adjust soon enough, once the mist of sleep have cleared from your mind. That sound you hear is the music of a brilliant morning just like this one. 'Ten Million Sounds' to be exact, &#8220;Ten Million Sounds: Morning Light Come&#8221; to be more exact, a compilation of ambient electronica and instrumental hip hop with a general theme of morning and hope. If a collection of music could ever be more fitting for a way to start your day, I think it would be field recordings of forests filled with birds. Every track on this album has just the right amount of energy and a gentle pacing to get one going in the morning (or, in theory a way to unwind at night). Every song here is extremely polished, nary a rough edge in sight, though Larry Blueberry's &#8220;Somewhere Going&#8221; does take down tempo to extremes not explored elsewhere on the record. On the opposite end of the tempo spectrum (and quite possibly an enchanted forest), &#8220;Desires&#8221; is built around the flowing melody of a flute and Otso's &#8220;Beginning of the End&#8221; also features one. Two flutes, one album, no Kenny G. It's a win/win in my eyes. A side note, bugseed seems to be channelling their inner &#8220;What Does Your Soul Look Like&#8221; on &#8220;Gentle&#8221;, which is a great point of reference for this particular compilation. If you're in need of some uplifting music to put a spark in your step, Ten Million Sounds, with it's bright ambiance and upbeat and funky hip-hop will do the trick. <br /> <div style="font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> --<span style="font-weight: bold;">note</span>--</div> <div style="font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> This album was released as part of a charity drive for International Justice Mission and St. Jude&#8217;s Children&#8217;s Hospital.

The end result of such a session is &#8220;Love Greatly: Live From Our Living Rooms to Yours&#8221;, ten tracks of rather well craft music, a lovely (ahem) surprise given the nature of the project. It's as stripped back as stripped back can be &#8211; acoustic guitars and vocals are all you get for the majority of the tracks, and what little mixing there must have been to these tracks doesn't dilute the intimacy of the setting one bit. You can hear occasional vocal and instrumental hick ups when they do occur (which is to say not often). I can almost picture Andrew Benfante grinning from ear to ear as he lets the song drop out as he whispers a response to himself on 'CA', the tone of his voice changes ever so slightly when he picks up again, but it adds a little something extra to that section of the song. Jake Hull plays the crap out of that guitar of his on 'Cradle'. Ian Thorton's voice really pulled me into his two tracks, like a weathered soul letting it all hang out. Brian Million should be doing acoustic sets for arenas full of lighters (or cell phones if you're too hip for that). The living room can't contain him. I think andylion should be probably join him, because he really knocks it out of the park with 'light knight for a dark horse'. I wasn't sure at first, but he comes off more human on 'knight' than 'Find Your Ghost' and it adds to the song's appeal. The Hunt sisters; Jennifer and Jessi round things out with two excellent tracks, of which 'Subject to Sink' is the album's standout track. I will follow these two on any musical journeys they take. I would have liked the harmonies on 'Cradle' to have been more distinguishable though. At least harmonies are what I think I'm hearing. The biggest issue I had with this LP is that the first track has the audience clapping, which is then hastily cut off. I would have preferred that be removed altogether or more of the songs have reactions from the others in the room. Gentle and true, right into your ears.</span></span></span></div> <span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Es ist recht schwer eine Musik Compilation verschiedener Künstler zu bewerten, da jedes Lied und vor allem jeder Künstler eigentlich einzeln die Aufmerksamkeit verdient hätte. Aus dem Grund hab ich es bisher auch vermieden derartiges auf meinen Blog zu stellen. Allerdings musste ich meine Einstellung dazu überdenken als ich dieses Projekt hier gefunden habe. Es hat mich einfach froh gemacht zu sehen dass derartige Zusammenarbeit auch heute noch möglich ist, und zu derart vielfältigen und interessanten Ergebnissen führen kann. Für dieses Album wurden nicht nur ein paar bereits existierende Lieder zusammengeworfen, sondern meines Wissens alle Lieder für dieses Thema und diese Veröffentlichung neu erstellt. Die Mühe diesem Album ein allumfassendes Thema zu geben, hat sich definitiv gelohnt und hält alle Lieder merklich zusammen. Es gibt einige wirklich empfehlenswerte Songs, vor allem "Star's Song", "Tunnel Vision" and "For Nine Months, Mars Was Home". Diese gehören definitiv zu dem qualitativ hochwertigstem Material was hier zu finden ist, aber ich würde trotzdem empfehlen die Songs alle mal anzuhören da es noch einige andere interessante Songs gibt.
Da es eine Independent Compilation diverser recht unbekannter Musiker ist, gibt es natürlich einige Unstimmigkeiten was die Qualität der Songs anbelangt, da nicht jeder Musiker dieselben Mittel hatte. Jeder hat aber gute Arbeit geleistet, die vorhandenen Mittel zu nutzen um die eigene Vision des Themas "Outer Space" umzusetzen, was zu einem gefälligen und durchaus empfehlenswerten Album führte. Wenn euch einer dieser Musiker besonders gefällt, versucht Ihre Band Seiten zu finden, da es einige Musiker gibt die mehr als nur dieses eine Lied veröffentlicht haben. Ich werde versuchen alle Links die ich finden kann in den Comment Teil unter dem Review zu posten. Aus den Gründen die ich anfangs nannte, werde ich auch keine direkte Bewertung unter dieses Review setzen. Bleibt nicht viel mehr zu sagen als: Dif-tor heh smusma, hoffentlich hören wir mehr von diesem Projekt.

Its hard to review a compilation, as every song and especially every artist actually deserve more attention than being one amongst many, which is why I refrained from reviewing a compilation so far. But when I found these guys efforts, I couldn't help but feel happy to see that people still get together to make projects like these. Not only putting together a few songs that were already made, but the efforts to give this release a coherent feel by making songs to a certain topic are easily appreciated. There are a few really good songs on there, I especially recommend checking out "Star's Song", "Tunnel Vision" and "For Nine Months, Mars Was Home". These are among the most polished songs on this record, but give it a complete listen, since a few of the others are also quite charming.
It is an Independent compilation of relatively unknown musicians, so there are a few minor problems as not everyone obviously had the same means for creating their songs, which sometimes shows in the varying quality of the songs. Everyone made a great effort, though, to put out their vision of a song about "Outer Space" which ended in a definitely enjoyable and recommendable album. If you are interested in one of those artist, check out their bandpages, some of them have more music than just one song. I'll put all the links I can find into the comment section later. For the reasons mentioned in the beginning, I also wont directly put a score under this review. Nothing left to say, except: Dif-tor heh smusma, I really hope to hear more from this project.
