"It’s the best downtempo album you’ve never heard of."

groundliftmagazine.com



"There's not a gimmick to be found here -- it's just a collection of twelve four minute songs that exist as ends unto themselves, and though its premise is none too exhilarating, its results are
-- and then some."

splendidmagazine.com



"...their music is just lovely...The music itself covers so many grounds - some parts Sigor Ros with the xylophones and cellos - some parts mixing steady beats with cranky bass guitars - this
stuff is awesome. I'm really excited about the new album."

velvetgrooves.co.uk



"Whether it's a string arrangement, a train, the wind, or the members playing several different instruments, these guys just have a knack for making music with soul."

domaincleveland.com



"Low In The Sky surprised me. They're simple with their complexity, and the lack of lyrics doesn't bring their intensity down. Recommended for fans of Four Tet, Department of Eagles, Boards of
Canada, and Prefuse 73."

Traduction :



Quatre aliénation. Ils viennent sous le couvert de l'obscurité et le laissent pour une durée de vie.



Une mer de câbles, boutons et de la ficelle autour de la bande et de leur stade peut ressembler à un laboratoire. Pentatones forme un son une ergeift sans détours.



Ils combinent ludique techno beat structures avec des lignes mélodiques de jazz, trip-hop et electronica. Pentatones créer à partir d'une variété de coups de pied arrêtés musicale avec leur
propre cosmos. Ils construisent des ponts entre apparemment inconciliables: la dignité d'une salle de concert combinée à la sueur de la piste de danse. Ils interpellent le public au silence.



Le groupe de vidéastes "YouAreWatchingUs" développés Pentatones un spectacle audiovisuel, "la session preENTER», qui a été réalisée l'an dernier dans plusieurs festivals internationaux d'arts
médiatiques.



AVIS:



"Pentatones prendre une comédie musicale avec une touchante dans un monde de perfection. Ils créent un univers sonore d'une pureté mystique et il n'est donc pas trop lisse, ils ont frappé ici et
là un peu les bords bruts dans le marbre sombre de sa composition - fait. Cela paraît simple, mais il n'est pas. Peu d'artistes réussissent à captiver un véritable avec leur musique. Pentatones
capturer un et ne peut pas vous laisser perdre. "Moritz Petersen, Push Magazine 7,4



"Dry Bass, bat brut, surfaces molles, Electro semble ennuyeux, téléphone et ordinateur émet un bip. Passer les frontières de genre avec une indifférence naturelle, comme s'il y avait une comédie
musicale accord de Schengen, et de jouer avec des influences hip-hop jazz, et de l'âme, comme s'ils étaient des instruments. "Goonmagazin 07,04



"Pentatones auto j'aime appeler« Ensemble Beat Mosaique "et se souvient effectivement de leur musique pour une mosaïque sonore exceptionnelle des structures beat techno et les lignes de jazz
mélodique, entrelacés avec le trip hop et des éléments électroniques. Avec son mélange fascinant de l'échantillonnage en direct gratuitement, des bruits insolites, et des compositions solides
qu'ils tirent tous les publics sous son charme - quelque part entre la salle de concert et de la dignité Tanzflächentumult ". (Geme, 08/08)



"... Le mélange de jazz, electronica, beats cassés et un chanteur extraordinaire crée une tension énorme Pentatones fait l'un des originaux uniques de la scène électronique allemande." Wowi, ABB
08,07



«Les musiciens ont réussi à augmenter le concert un climax dansant, puis soigneusement re-dissoudre l'atmosphère irréelle." Johanna C., Fudd 06,09



"... Ils créent un univers sonore qui se caractérise par la diversité - caractérisé par des influences diverses, ses auteurs, l'acheteur doit rendre compte. Alors, ils se mouvoir habilement dans
le vaste domaine de la musique électronique, entre les clicks and cuts, jazz et trip-hop. "MIX 11,6

This cd was picked up for me by a friend and I not only find it truly relaxing but amazingly done. It reminds me slightly of Portishead, Mono.....it's very trip hop and the lyrics are really
good. Track 10 is amazing...throughout the whole cd it is female vocals but on Track 10 (Try) it is male vocals and I would have to say it's my favorite song on the album. I would totally suggest
picking this up. It's wonderful to relax to.

Growing like wildfire under the canopy of live electonica and world roots music comes a masterful merge of modern technology, live instrumentation and seductive performance, built of brass bands
and glitch, string quartets and dubstep: the musical trio Beats Antique.



Since the group’s inception from the eclectic underground of San Francsico’s performance art scene, Beats Antique has been notorious for making it nearly impossible to sit still. They meld their
mediums as attentively as they fuse the cultures that inspire their sound. All self produced and composed, the trio creates a unique collage: an animalistic, raw musical event that blurs the
lines between the provocative, the spiritual, and the artistic, while still maintaining an allegiance to the muses of class and beauty.



The journey that led to Beats Antique today was a winding and twisted path from the west coast to the ancient trade routes of the silk road. In this modern incarnation, the musical alliance of
producers David Satori and Tommy Cappel is inspired and emphasized by their collaborative partnership with world-renowned belly dance performer and music producer Zoe Jakes.



David Satori and Tommy Cappel both trained classically before venturing to locations such as Bali, West Africa, Serbia and beyond. With extensive backgrounds in multicultural music production,
and the passports to prove it, Satori and Cappel command the spectrum of live and digital instrumentation, born from Hip Hop and old school jazz.



Zoe Jakes adds a third dimension as the multi –cultural and –disciplinary dance counterpart to Beats Antique’s sound. Jakes has worked with 2 major dance troupes, Miles Copeland’s Bellydance
Superstars and Rachel Brice’s Indigo Belly Dance Company, a student of ballet and contemporary techniques. Jake’s additional history with Cappel in the Extra Action Marching Band and the Yard
Dogs Road Show grants some insight into the caliber of performance that is Beats Antique’s standard.



All of this sets the scene for Beats Antique’s overtly ambitious stage show, a sensory overload conquest of the festival circuit’s most riotous events, such as Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits
festival, and Outside Lands, as well as a catalog of proper tours that include Bassnectar and a recent run with Les Claypool of PRIMUS in early 2010. According to Satori, the trio is excited by
their ability to create a huge sound from their relatively small setup. “It gives us this whole new world of musical opportunities that we’re just starting to scratch the surface of.”



In a prolific 3 years since Beats Antique emerged, the group has released 2 albums and a pair of EPs, with a third album, Blind Threshold, on the way. Notable features of the new release include
vaporous violins and Danny Elfman-esque dementia; glitchy, laser-guided harmonica provided by Blues Traveler frontman John Popper; and 2 very different vocal tracks that range between restless
pop hooks and vibrant Eastern European dance loops. All wrapped into an intricate collection of heavy beats and sub bass.



Beats Antique is best imagined as an innovative creature built from the cumulative heritage of the world’s music chasing its tail. However vivid that image, when a marching band groove crashes
into bluesy folk chords only to be accompanied by electronic beats and Middle Eastern melodies, you’ll still be surprised.

The Good and Evil Sessions are the first in Thirsty Ear's Blue Series Continuum, which emphasizes diverse styles of music with a rotating, leaderless cast of musicians. This one melds Danny Blume
and Chris Kelly of Good and Evil fame with turntable maven Miso and some of the heavy-hitters from the avant-garde jazz world, including bassist William Parker, pianist Matthew Shipp, and
trumpeter Roy Campbell. The results are unpredictable and deliciously sassy, with groove-based throbs, jazz beats, and turntable scratches setting the stage for down-in-the-bucket solos that purr
with joyous abandon. Free improv meets punk and dance rhythms laced with foot-tapping, body-swaying pulses. While the pop inflections are certain to spark a debate within the tiny but intense and
vocal free jazz community over the commercialization of art, the generally uncompromising improvisations of the Shipp/Parker contingent stand up reasonably well even if somewhat less-intense and
complex than usual. This sort of crossover fusion could widen the appeal of these otherwise relatively obscure though extremely talented performers. Shipp is in superb form, spinning webs of
simple (though never simplistic) phrases, veiled by supple nuance. Miso's scratches are a constant, subversive presence, while the Blume-Kelly guitar duo keeps the hips shaking and the trombone
twosome of Alex Lodico and Josh Roseman adds a raunchy bottom. Roy Campbell's fading repetitions on "On the Run" are lovingly distorted through the filter of the Good and Evil lens.

Rodrigo Leão is a Portuguese musician and composer. He was born in Lisbon in 1964. He became known for his musical compositions and participation in Portuguese bands such as Madredeus and Sétima Legião. He co-founded the band Sétima Legião in 1982 and Madredeus in 1985. As his solo career began to take shape, he chose to suspend his participation with the respective bands in 1993 and 1994. His solo work explores a combination of modern-classic compositions with more traditional song format and instrumentation. Several artists have participated in both his records and tours, such as Lula Pena or Adriana Calcanhotto in Alma Mater and Beth Gibbons and Ryuichi Sakamoto in Cinema. His album, Cinema, was very successful in the Portuguese market, reaching #1 in sales and its promotion concerts in Portugal and Spain were frequently sold-out. In this album, the eclectic roots of his music and the influence of cinema can be appreciated. Ana Vieira is the new member of the group providing the vocals.Neil Hannon participated in the album A Mãe of Rodrigo Leão and Cinema Ensemble..

Faisant suite à "Wyred Folk" ; premier EP sorti en 2005 puis au récent "One By One EP, le premier album de 2econd Class Citizen sort enfin, l’occasion de vérifier si les espoirs entrevus dans les deux précédents essais se confirment sur ce long format intitulé "A World Without".
Dans un style downtempo/hip hop légèrement psychédélique, assez bien fichu, avec notamment un flow très agréable (featurings de Ceschi, James PHoney, Reindeer) et une instrumentation foisonnante, "A World Without" rappelle par certains aspects, les productions abstract de la fin des années 90 de DJ Shadow, UNKLE ou Dan the Automator...
Sans être forcément génial ni pour autant anecdotique, "A World Without" devrait combler les amateurs de hip hop mélodieux. et en guise de mise en bouche, un megamix de 10 minutes réalisé par Phonatic est disponible sur le site du label Equinox Records ou écoutable directement ici.
