It's been 14 years since production duo Blank & Jones eschewed the dancefloor in favour of crafting sun-kissed Balearic mood pieces. In that time, they've released nine volumes in their Relax album series, each one packed with gentle downtempo workouts, lazy afternoon soundscapes and eyes-closed horizontal fare. This tenth edition is every bit as strong as its predecessors, with the German pair seemingly floating between seductive vocal numbers, flamenco guitar-laden ambient soundscapes, Zero 7 style sweetness and the kind of slowly unfurling, piano laden beauties that were once a cornerstone of the '90s chill out scene. None of it is particularly challenging, but that's entirely the point: this is music for unwinding to, not intellectualizing.

Blank & Jones не перестают удивлять своих поклонников не только электронной музыкой, но и красивым джазом. Потрясающий сольный фортепианный альбом Marcus Loeber. Эксперимент такого сотрудничества удался, альбом получился проникновенным, слегка интимным.

Совместная работа Blank & Jones с Julian и Roman Wasserfuhr - красивый джазовый альбом, который получил массу положительных отзывов в прессе и от поклонников. Это новая Relax концепция в джазовом стиле.

Пятый студийный альбом дуэта Blank & Jones был выпущен в 2003 году лимитированной серией. В 2007 году на лейбле Soundcolors было выпущено двухдисковое издание - Relax Edition One.

Katatonia and Opeth have historically been muttered in the same breath as fellow impresarios of fugue metal, even if the former hasn't been anything remotely close to metal in quite some time. Of course, the bands shared Mikael Åkerfeldt through the Nineties, so they were bound to share the spotlight as well. Over the years, however, the two bands have become divisible even while rolling as touring mates. Since "Discouraged Ones" and "Last Fair Deal Gone Down", Katatonia have taken ongoing steps away from a pure metal path. Opeth continues to embrace it while exploring new courses, as "Damnation" and most recently, "Heritage", have proven. In both cases, their progressive refinement is world-class.
