Music Recommendation: Waldeck
One of the beautiful things about the Yahoo Music Engine is that it creates radio stations based on your tastes. In addition, you can also stream radio stations which play music that is similar to a particular artist you like. While streaming the Morcheeba fan station a couple of days back, I came across Waldeck. According to the Yahoo bio, Klaus Waldeck is an Austrian producer who works for Vienna's Spray Records, which has been home to the likes of Kruder & Dorfmeister from time to time. Waldeck has the same downtempo sensibilities of K&D, but with a dash of Zero7-ish vocal tracks thrown in. If you're looking for music to just relax to, it doesn't get much better than Waldeck. Alternatively, if you own a bar/lounge, this is the sort of music you should be playing in there. Perfect to tap your feet to, yet nothing in the music that will disable conversation.
The album I listened to is The Night Garden and I'd highly, highly recommend it. If you're a fan of Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, K&D, Zero 7 etc, I think you will love Night Garden. The most intruguing track on the album is Waldeck's cover of King Crimson's "I Talk to the Wind," which you can stream of Waldeck's website. And if you aren't a fan of the above mentioned artists, you need to do something about it. Pronto! :)
