R.A.R.H. from Windcheater offers a few different slices of house. There's deep, there's piano, there's some down tempo and some rave. Always a bit of rave. Since the last album to appear here on Magnatune, the direction taken has been a little more electronica, ever so slightly more leftfield. But always with the rave. Never forget the rave.
Bigger tunes on the album include Not Tonight and All Alone. For more leftfield and electronic vibes, check Running Away and Overtime. Dance, and chill
The Biopocalypse would never have happened if Dirk Matter hadn't blasted his way into the wrong laboratory on a world so very far from ours.
The Jellyfish hive mind would never have existed but for the resulting explosion that made the Universe blink.
The tiniest perturbation leading to the most massive of consequence as in the beautiful metaphor of Edward Lorenz.
Except, instead of a butterfly wing, it was one particle in one cell in one petri dish in one research facility.
And, instead of a tempest, it was the end of life as we know it.

Description:
Lush, deeply moving, cinematic soundscapes and soaring musical themes for your daily eargasm
Vol.1 of Themes for Imagination features lush soundscapes and soaring musical themes. Blending various genres of music with orchestral instruments to produce a purely unique, yet contemporary sound and emotion. Your imagination is the only limit!
Blank River is the third instrumental solo album from Daniel Knowler (The Infinite Three, Leisure Hive, Slunq).
Blank River ranges from cinematic textures and post-rock crescendos to plaintive acoustic finger picking. Taking cues from folk, blues, pop and film soundtracks, this music takes a more melodic turn than most of Daniel's previous work.
Hidden within the organic orchestration, however, are ciphers more in keeping with Daniel's background in experimental music: field recordings, subtle electronic drones and electronic treatments follow the melodies around like grey shadows.
