Hey,
I've just been listening to (IMHO) some rather lovely tunes by Jakob
Svanholm from Stockholm, Sweden. He released a track called Counting Stars
under the name Radix on the excellent Monotonik label (www.mono211.com) last
year. I rather liked it so I was pleased to find he has been busy recording
under the name Sinespree and releasing more music on mp3.com .
I love these tunes! I always look out for music with lots of soul and
feeling (hence I was rather surprised to hear IDM described as emotionless
recently, but that's by-the-by). However, so much of the soulful side of IDM
tends towards the sad and melancholy. (Recent examples, Gimmik and Cottage
Industries) That's not a bad thing, IMO, but it's so nice to hear these
tracks from Sinespree which are really rather happy in a pleasingly
sentimental way. They put a smile on my face anyway!

I especially like I Realize, the first track. Heck, they're all good!
Here is Jakob's page on Trax in Space where he was Artist Of The Month in
July last year. There is an artist profile and some MP3s and MODS some of
which aren't on mp3.com and some of which are different versions of tracks
which are.

Especially if you need cheering up...
Ross :-)
