Saltillo

Artist: Saltillo
Album: Ganglion
Year: 2006
Description: Another gem of contemporary music, by Menton J. Matthews III (a classical trained musician from Chicago). The albums starts with a sound that reminded me of "Requiem For A Dream" OST. A journey into the depth of your soul, a mix of electronic and lo-fi (cello, viola, violin, piano, guitar, bass), accompanied by hi-class vocals. Saltillo brings trip-hop to the highest level. Downtempo pieces like "Giving In" with Sarah Matthews (amazing vocalist by the way) along with more intense tunes like "Simple Test" and eastern dreamy kind of vocals in "Grafting" will leave you wanting more. Enjoy ;)
