Indonesian guitarist Tohpati returns with his band, Ethnomission, after
six years with his new studio album titled "Mata Hati." After coming off
one their best critically acclaimed albums "Save The Planet," Tohpati
is prepared to continue with the diverse progressive rock feel of his
new release. The album begins with the Indian tones of "Janger," which
features the Czech Symphony Orchestra. Tohpati and his band lead the
listener on an epic journey, while the rhythms of "Pelog Rock" will
shake things up on this Eastern-influenced tune. Tohpati's guitar glides
along the jazz-infused "Mata Hati" as his band guides the way through
this six-and-a-half minute song. Tohpati delivers a bluesy solo within
"Berburu," before lifting the mood with the folk-rock experiment
"Rancak." The album finishes with the intense delivery of "Pangkur" and
the hard rock thunder of "Amaran." To find out more about Tohpati

Two of the leaders of cutting edge electronic guitar techniques (Mark
Wingfield & Markus Reuter) have teamed up with two outstanding,
experienced studio wizards (Yaron Stavi & Asaf Sirkis) to create a
new album titled "The Stone House." The band just joined together, in
the studio without one single note written down. All the music performed
on this new release is live, with no overdubs. The six songs featured
on "The Stone House" are journeys through sound as each one takes the
listener for a ride into the mind of these four musicians. Beginning
with "Rush," the song takes unknowing turns as this space rock gems
perfectly introduces how skilled the band members are with their
instruments. The
Pink Floydian sounding "Four Moons" and the hard rock, guitar driven
"Silver" are the two shortest songs on the album (5:13 and 8:33
respectively), but both deliver a complete idea from start to finish.
The ten-minute "Tarasque" is also a complete adventures experiment, as all
the different ingredients work together on the jazz-infused number. The
album finishes with the tempo-changing, progressive-rock feel of "Bona
Nit Senor Rovira." To find out more about Wingfield Reuter Stavi Sirkis
