David Modica – “Silence Speaks” mp3
Ok, I do this on Sunday sometimes. Just need some really laid back chill factor ten kinda stuff to unwindify. David Modica is one of those guitarists who sits around with a loooooong delay and reverb AND chorus effects on his 6-string and just trips out fr daze. However, unlike my friends who do this sort of thing between gigs playing jazz or metal or whatnot, Mr. Modica takes it a step further musically, makes records of the stuff, and releases it to the public. Why not? Fits right into the New Age bins, and would be at home in any yoga or massage studio. Very pretty and soothing music, and right now, I’m all about it. Piano, guitars, and lovely effects, somewhere between improvisation and composition, slowly developing and full of soft surprises.

Conni St. Pierre – “Midheaven at Midwinter”
What’s this? A blatantly New Age mp3 on yours truly SuperFan’s own site? But yes! We’re coming together, converging if you will, harmonically, mystically, cosmically, on the astral plane for a flying dream and heavenly feast. Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or Indigenous People’s Day or lament the Turkey-opalypse, here’s some soothing meandering flutes and gamelan bell sounding plunky plunks that pussyfoot around in circles before flopping contentedly in front of the fire for a purr. And remember, if anyone asks you who won Yoga, it was a tie.

Dengue Fever – “March of the Balloon Animals”
Dengue Fever’s soundtrack record for the new documentary Sleepwalking Through the Mekong features music they created on a recent tour of Cambodia, backing singer Chhom Nimolon. Cambodia in the ’60s and ’70s, before the disastrous Khmer Rouge regime, enjoyed a reinvented rock n’ roll style with distinctly Khmer influences, generating a sound that was unique and powerful in its own right. Silenced but not forgotten during the terrible events of the late 70′s, this brilliant music is now being rediscovered and revitalized by new generations. I picked up the soundtrack – a bestseller already on IODA – and I look forward to the movie.
