Some interesting music from "Ihor Synenko". The tracks start off very relaxed, almost classical sounding but then fat break beats kick in an change the atmosphere to something a little more palatable. Piano, guitar and synth are combined to create some smooth but still funky sounds.

The second track was a little slow to start off and doesn't really stand out too much but yet it has some really sweet moments in it. The arpeggios, acoustic guitar and some nice strings give the song a good feel.

Unfortunately the third track uses a rather ancient trumpet patch which really spoils the track completely for me. It's got some fantastically phat beats, a Jazz feel and really sounds excellent ... until the trumpet comes into play ... it just spoils it.

The music is overall well constructed but some of the instruments used sound aged and over sampled (ie: it sounds like fake instruments) The artist shows potential, but falls short on his production.

Give it a spin if you have some time to kill & bandwidth to spare ... the first two tracks might work for you.
