| | Various Artists - Elefant Dosmiluno (Elefant) |
 | | If, while you are listening to the CD, you begin to feel overwhelmed by all the electronic stuff and rock, you can listen to a song like "Galaxia" by Ana D e Ibon Errazkin, which is a sad acoustic guitar accompanying a female vocalist with a haunting voice. | | | With bit of a bluesy sixties feel, this song is different from the other pop rock songs on the album. | | | If you don't like retro electronic stuff, pop, or lighthearted rock, you probably won't be fond of most of the album. |

| | 120-years-Introduction |
| | Helmholtz was concerned solely with the scientific analysis of sound and had no interest in direct musical applications, the theoretical musical ideas were provided by Ferruccio Busoni, the Italian composer and pianists who's influential essay "Sketch of a New Aesthetic of Music" was inspired by accounts of Thaddeus Cahill's 'Telharmonium'. | | | The origins of electronic music can be traced back to the audio analytical work of Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821-1894) the German physicist, mathematician and author of the seminal work "SENSATIONS OF TONE: Psychological Basis for Theory of Music" (c1860). | | | This site charts the development of electronic musical instruments from 1870 to 1990. |

| | Music from Drummis |
| | Drummis is an electronic and acoustic musician breaking into the field of electronic drumming. | | | I did most of the midi drum editing for this recording, sang some background vocals (Lorelei), and wrote the lyrics to "Going to Work," a song that didn't make the cut for our first disc, but was scheduled for the second disc that never occurred. | | | "My only production complaint is Kurt’s use of electronic drums, he’s a great drummer technically, but you just can’t replace the sound and feel you get from using acoustic drums and I think that this tames Riley’s sound too much especially when they play live shows but, also on their recording. |

| | From the unrelenting pow-wow drumming of Skan - The Sky with its rousing repetitive chanting and shakuhachi instrumentals, to the warm guitar strumming and gentle flute interjections of Ashes Cold and White and the unsettling hodge-podge of Siberian vocal performances on the epic Inyan - The Rock. | | | The instrumentation of the album is very well done, with some effected instruments (including cellos and violins) which all add to the otherworldly nature of the album. | | | The first track is probably the highpoint of the album, with a memorable flute melody, simple electronic bassline and staccato string ensemble supported by light drumming and ethnic rattles. |

| | The song to definitely listen to first is the title track Aral which has wonderful Deep Forest-style chirpy chants echoing atop a pulsing bassline and droning male choirs with accordion flourishes by guest Michel Sanchez, the violin alternating between plaintive cadences and heaven-reaching themes. | | | Although the on-site recordings take precedence throughout the 10 tracks, electronic synthesisers and steady drumloops are used to make the album cohesive -- because despite the fact that the chants and instruments originate from many varied locations, the album semlessly combines the cultures. | | | Although described as a 'new age' group, Phobos is not because of the groovy electronics and the heavy drum rhythms that permeate the entire album. |
