Music Will Heal Your Heart

The President of my country died in a terrible accident a week ago. I'm very sorry because of that. It seems people don't really know how to behave with dignity and balance at the same time. There is a lot of pathos.
.
Music is comforting always. It heals the soul, helps go through difficult situations and expresses our point of view, thoughts and feelings. There is an amazing energy in music. Personally I like music bands which are not very famous, which I have to dig into and find them like precious treasures. Here are some of my recent discoveries.
.
Henrik Jose
.
He comes from Sweden and makes healing, comforting, electronic chillout music. It is trully very beautiful. He has snow on his jacket and a lot of positive and at the same time melancholic attitude towards the world.

"Blunderbuss" is a video to one of his songs made by Matt Swoboda.

Candlestickmaker
.

.
A guy who makes candles;-). He is an electronic artist from Romania who makes amazing mixes of sacred, comforting, but at the same time very modern sounds. They begin usually very quiet and sophiticated, then they gradually turn into drum'n'base rythym. These are not just songs good for listening or dancing, but entire compositions with a lot of good taste. I only listened to his album "Seeds", which impressed me a lot. But there are more of his albums available for listening at Free Music Archive. One of my favourite songs is "Summer Break".

DAGADANA
.

.
The last but not the least is a band DAGADANA which comes from my coutry - Poland. However one of the girls has Ucrainian roots. They are recently making quite a career and are being promoted by the Polish Radio 3, which is an enormous prestige. They just released their album "Malenka" ("A Little Girl") with a mix of folk and electronic music. A lot of their inspiration is in East-European and Balkan root culture. They are very nice people with good attitude. My favourite of their songs so far is "Tango".

Sputnik Booster and Computer Truck
.
These are bands both inspired with electronic sounds from computer games from the 80s. There is fun, game and simple science-fiction atmosphere in their songs.
.
Sputnik Booster seems to be a guy from Bayern, Germany. He performs with his friends "The Future Posers". They get dressed up like childhood robots during theirs shows. They are a lot of fun. My favourite of Sputnik Booster's songs is "Type Your Text" with a bit of a Kraftwerk energy.

Computer Truck is a French musician. His songs are electronic, hard, but fun at the same time.
.

.
My favourite of his mixes is "Cracovian Scene" with a bit punk feeling. Here you can listen to it:
