Eyes and Ears – May Edition

After a few weeks of a rainy Spring season the sun seems to have arrived over Paris. At least for now. This means another installment of the Eyes and Ears series is due! Let’s start right away with our books section.

Today I’d like to tell you about a funny and very interesting book. It’s called Cockpit Confidential and it is pretty much a book on everything you’ve ever wondered about airliners and air travel. You can find it pretty much anywhere but, interestingly enough, its author maintains a blog that is apparently famous, “Ask the Pilot“.

Moving on to our mixes and music section this great summer house mix from Tania Moon in Madrid will set you right up for the season:

TANIA MOON – OPEN HOUSE MADRID – 11 MAYO 2014 by Ibiza Sonica on Mixcloud

Now, this mix from Café del Mar is a not a traditional one, as it is performed by Michael E. Love it or hate it, it has some great tracks on it yet you do feel the romantic and classical influence of this quite remarkable composer.

Namasté (3 November 2012) by Luc Forlorn on Mixcloud

Last but not least one small yet precious pearl from Italy that has gone largely unnoticed. It was released by the Falerna (aka Laverna) netlabel and the artists comes out as “Fedepiano”, delivering exquisite ambient and electronica tunes. It also proves once more that there is a great and somewhat unknown electronica scene in Italy.

Have a great week!
