Listening to The Lost Patrol, a MySpace friend of Music2Work2, you hear traces of country/western, electronica, pop, and many other genres. It would be difficult for me to put the music of this group in a specific category. They are classified as Surf/Shoegaze/Lounge on their MySpace page.
Regardless of how you classify their music, there is no question that it is good. The vocals are sung in a clear, pretty, female voice. The music is melodic - often with an ethereal, haunting sound. The melodies have a beat that makes it hard to not tap a foot or move to the music.
There are six sample songs on The Lost Patrol's MySpace page. All but one of them, "Deep Stage," are vocals. Of the six, "Run Wild" and "Velveteen" are my favorites.
This quartet, from Piermont, NY, already has quite a few CDs to its credit and plans to release a new one in the fall of 2008. I recommend checking them out - - their music is unusual, quite enjoyable and fun.
Music2Work2's MySpace friend, The Deep C, is apparently a band of one member, Michael Dees, although it sounds like an orchestra of many. The music of The Deep C is classified as Classical/Ambient/Other. Unfortunately, there is no other information available about this artist other than that he is from Germany.
There are six sample songs available to hear on The Deep C's MySpace page. They are all beautiful instrumental music. Most of the songs sound to me like they could be musical scores from movies. They have the drama and intenseness that come to mind when thinking about the music from movies.
My favorite of the six songs are "Blue Tunes" and "Abigail's Letter."
I would like to know more about the artist and how he produces his music. The variety of instruments that seem to be involved in the music definitely do not sound like the work of only one person. But, it is lovely music and very well done.
