Sleep City Crisis First Video! Malfunction Symphony Is on YOUTube!

After all this time of showing other artist's music video I have finally took time to make my very own. Well, actually, it's not completely my own. Yeah it represents the song but I only edited the video pretty much to have footage of other videos I got. It's thanks to the Creative Commons I was able to find videos to use without getting sued. You should learn about the organization. As long as you give the artists their credit you're good to go.

Anyways, enough of that, check out the video below! (See the ending for credits!)

Top 5 Downtempo Songs Of The Day

The same way I went to look for ambient tracks on YouTube, I also went and looked for some Downtempo songs. The next album by Sleep City Crisis will be featuring some downtempo stuff also, but with a big of a grittier edge. Kinda like what I did with the track Misery under my composer name/stage name. Here, however, I was looking for just really laid back chill downtempo stuff. So check it out below.

Zero 7 - Destiny



When it comes to downtempo, Zero 7 is one of the masters at it in my honest opinion. It's so soulful, beautiful, and pleasant to the ears. I wouldn't ever turn my ears to the easy listening genre because I guess to me this is as easy listening as it gets. This song Destiny is from their album, Simple Things

Air - All I Need



Air is one of the greatest pleasant songwriters in the face of the planet I can't till they release more stuff. This is one of my favorite songs from them. It's from the album, Moon Safari

Morcheeba - Undress Me Now



Morcheeba one of the best downtempo groups out there. Their sound just about says more than the actual lyrics a lot of times. This song for me has a great deal of wonderful memories. This is from their album, Charango, which is excellent by the way.

Esthero - Country Livin'



Esthero's first album is probably one of the best introductions to downtempo and trip-hop for me. I wasn't too crazy about their second album and I saw them live and they were great. I just think they went down a more live and minus electronics direction. I don't think it's not a bad thing at all, but my preference was their sound within their first album, Breath from Another

Hooverphonic - One

Just click on the site they didn't allow this video to be posted other than the link above. This is a great song just click it and pretty amazing video too.







Top 5 Ambient Tracks Of The Day

I was in the YouTubing Mood today so I was scouting around looking for some really cool ambient tracks to make my day at my soul crushing day job a lot better and I ran into some videos I had to share with you all. In fact, I would like to thank these artists for making this great music. The videos are pretty cool too, but I had to share the entire video with the music because it's something about instrumental  music with visuals that needs to connected to each other in one form of art itself. Sometimes, I think it's cool but sometimes when YouTube users get a song and make their own videos around it, I tend it really annoying. I'm sure some of you agree with that. 

The Top 5 Ambient Tracks Of The Day




Gas - Microscopic


Gas is an awesome ambient music project by Mat Jarvis. You can buy his album Gas 0095 right here.


Digital Dream Society - Plastic Box



Digital Dream Society is a mix of more than just ambient. They also have a downtempo Portishead kind of sound on some of their other tracks. Although, it's real unfair for me to go ahead and just label their music. Which is why I recommend you go to their site, http://www.digitaldreamsociety.com/ and find out for yourself.

Equinox - Colonies



I think these days there's more than one electronic music project called Equinox including Bill Leeb from Front Line Assembly's old side project. I liked the video and the track so I had to put this one in there.

Equinox - Space Music



Another one from Equinox. Pretty cool video, excellent track.

Gulan - Space Music



I don't even know if this is the real name of the track, but it's a damn great video and I just had to share this. In fact, a track like this would be great for sleep.

Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon



I love Brian Eno! I'm not sure if this is the official video to his track, but I was paying more attention to the track itself.
