Günter Schlienz ~ Book of Dreams
Write down your dreams before they slip away. The advice is wise, for as soon as we awake, we begin to forget. By keeping a notepad next to his bed, Günter Schlienz was able to begin writing his Book of Dreams. The album

Visible Cloaks ~ Lex
The rainbow notes of Lex are as colourful as a bag of opened Skittles, spilling out vivid, strong-and-yet-gentle primary colours and inhabiting a sparklingly-clean, tidy space somewhere in the not-too-distant future. Somewhere around the year 2020, the music showers itself

Secret Pyramid ~ Two Shadows Collide
Secret Pyramid‘s music is ocean-deep, and just like the blue, underwater kingdom, it remains an elusive and mysterious world, teeming with colossal textures and the shipwrecked debris of an old collision, which only registers as a faint smudge on the
