the tango corner

My favorite from the tango corner is still the Gotan Project. If anyone out there find something similar, love to hear some NEW sound. None offensive ambiance, and not boring.


(The Gotan Project: their picture reminds of the time warped moment in the Bauhaus.)

Here are my favs from them:

Lhasa de Sela

Today, I stumped on this artist while I was seeking for NeoTango music. One of her songs from her album: La Llorona,De Cara de la Pared is very good options for NeoTango dancing. Smooth, soft beats. Her new album, Rising, has a different twist and still with her great voices.
Her voice reminds me of Feist, who is from Canada.

I am a non professional music listener who like good voice and sound.

winamp: my old school player

winamp is my favorite music player after all these years. I started using winamp since I got my first computer in 1999. The compact and slim interface design is the most attracted feature that draws my long-time commitment. Yes, I have tried out other main-stream softwares every now and then and this is still my preferred player.

Always love the slim display above my screen. <3

All their tracks are amazing. I have been working with their music in my ears for a few days. It energized with positive vibe, sometime a little spike of rock and ultimately, good sound!!! The creativity of their music videos... waaaaaaa! I still dont have favs among the favs. http://vimeo.com/3975173

itunes alternative

one of the long time alternative that i have been seeking for is another software that enable me to download podcast, browse through channels and other related stuffs that i usually gathers from the itunes.

Meanwhiles, it comes a whole new media channel for me. I learn about TEDtalks, Nature and cartoons from the 30's. The software designed in a way that only store in your hard drive for an assigned period of time before deletion. GREAT! save time and space for hard drive management. It is also great for viewing offline.

It does anything except sync withing the iPOD device. Can't wait until the next version for sync.

SoundCLOUD :the new internet sound

(soundclouds): my recent favorite new internet sound. It contained many experimental, techno and original recordings, ranging from minimal techno to classical beats. No radio's top 50's hits here. Great alternative to radio!

Also, the music plays continuous without clicking between songs. The continuous play has the same genre of music. More fun things are the feature to add comment at the right moment. Some tracks are downloadable.

(Picture: That's what I feel like with soundcloud. Tons of tracks coming from all creative directions, much more so than the airport traffic.)
