I have friends who meddle in the world of podcasting, audio blogging and Internet radio. That at least gives me an inkling of what you're looking for here. A bunch of fluff that wastes your time isn't on that list. Moving on...
About IO Vapoura: All good robots go to heaven. They go to crystalline cities in the clouds in a land called Halcyon Electronica. The music of that land and of "IO Vapoura" blends the instruments of East and West with the downtempo genres of dreampop, chillout, ambient and dance. This LP, the Air element of the four "IO" LPs, marks the third full album from T.Rex artist San Jaya Prime. Bittersweet and haunting, "Vapoura" also brings hope to a future where humanity lives on only in memory.
"From the moment you start listening to this ear-gasmic experience, you can't resist repeatedly turning the volume up. Blending a combination of deep and beautiful emotions with a wide variety of sounds from around the world, IO Vapoura offers a deep look into the soul of San Jaya Prime. I just have to give one warning... if you listen to it once... you will immediately want to rinse and repeat. It is quite simply the best music to put on in a large variety of situations and at any time of day or night, as it consistently evokes your core human emotions in a way that makes your spirit dance in utter delight! To say I enjoy this album would be an understatement."

"Finally had a solid sit-down with this new San Jaya Prime release, Vapoura, and while it doesn't always hit its mark (probably in part due to the wide range of influences that informs his tastes) there's some real flashes of brilliance. Actually an abundance of them, starting for me with the driving, bubbling Shadows and its harpsichord(ish) keyboards, followed by Wonder which is kind of an Eastern banger, definitely a highlight. My favorite of the collection would have to be Summon the Sky, with its masterfully layered flute and bass and synths and the song just sticks in your head. You could strum this on an acoustic guitar and hum the melody and please a campfire audience. But in this case you must dance to it. May Angels Take You is worth mentioning as well as it's a slow burner that I'd love to hear on an outdoor sound system at about 5am... and then the final track Last Train To Sheol shifts down to the final blend of rain and thunder and... frogs? It's a nice serene and logical conclusion to the album. I look forward to seeing where Jaya goes from here."

About Jaya Prime: Seven sisters carried me in their womb. My father hatched me where the spine of the world breaks the ocean in the time when the world was yet warm. In my first breaths he named me "Little Tusk" in jest... despite no resemblance to his own elephant's head. I walk in dreams and dream waking. Who am I?
A name of many names for me is San Jaya Prime... and I'm a hitchhiker. What you have before you is my music.
