Brand New Entertainment (BNE) in Israel is out with the third chapter in the Life Is compilation series, full of chilled tracks for your home listening. It is compiled by Avi Yossef. First out is a track by Cosma who tragically died last winter in a motorcycle accident in Goa, India. His second album Nonstop was just finished right before it happened, and was released on HOMmega Productions a few months later. Here we get a taste of the album. A nice, smooth track, with relaxing floating sounds, a beautiful voice and some piano. Nice start on this compilation. Track 2 is by Bwicked (Bertin Katz) who has released a couple of tracks on Iboga records in Denmark and Spirit Zone Records in Germany. This track sounds a bit more sad and melancholic. Track 3 is a new track by Infected Mushroom who released their fourth album (Converting Vegetarians) this year. The track we get here is not on the album. It follows the experimental part of their last album (CD2). Classical elements and guitars mixed with electronic beats, sounds and melodies. Track 4 is an interesting project by Idan Reichel, who mixes tribal drums and influences from Ethiopia, with some beautiful vocals and electronic chill out. Nice one. Track 5 is by J. Viewz, which is a side project by Jonathan Dagan, most known as Violet Vision. Here we get some chilled easy listening lounge chill. Track 6 is by a more well known project called Angel Tears, which is Seb Taylor (aka Shakta, Kaya Project, Digitalis etc) together with Momi Ochion. They have released three albums together on Master Productions. Here they give us a really beautiful organic track as usual, full of nice female vocals and floating melodies. Good one. Track 7 is surprisingly a chilled track by Oforia (Ofer Dikovsky), who is most known for his banging trance. He gives us a happy, chilled track, perfect for the beach or in a relaxing café. We get some guitar, and relaxing beats. Track 8 is also by a known name in the trance scene. This is Future Prophecy, who gives us a taste of their forthcoming album Concept Of Love. They give us some funky guitars, mixed with relaxed beats. Echotek (Micha Yossef) is known for some strong releases on several trance labels. Here he give us a beautiful, deep, groovy down tempo track, with and atmospheric sound picture. Track 10 is by two guys I haven't heard about before, called Zino & Tommy from Ibiza, who releases music on a label called Electric Chair Records. This track goes in a dubby style. Totally relaxing, almost sexy music. Track 11 is by the other half of Violet Vision (Shay Raviv), with a side project called Gray Matter. This track sounds pretty dramatic, and we get vocals by Michelle Adamson who sings in several tracks by Shpongle, Violet Vision and Infected Mushroom too. Track 12 is by a new group called Feedel (Nadav Katz and Barak Rozen). They do it a bit more jazzy, with nice acoustic guitars mixed with electronic floating sounds. Very chilling, again in a sort of café style. Track 13 is a taste of the latest album by Violet Vision (Unfold). This track was also released on a CD single. Here we get a new remix of the track. Very experimental, with a lot of female vocals. The last track on this compilation is by Mo Shic (Moshic Shlomy) who is some kind of star in Israel these days. This track reminds me a bit of the kind of music Moby has released the last couple of years. Chilled music, with some vocals. A slow, relaxing finish on this compilation. Brand New Entertainment delivers another good quality chill out compilation with this third chapter of Life Is... This is pure Israeli music all the way through, where some of the biggest stars in the psychedelic trance scene has gone freestyle and show us their way of making relaxed music for home listening.
