Greek artist Ihor is releasing his debut album on Candyflip records. His unique blend of chill out music is well produced and there are signs of a musical talent apart from the obvious sequencing skills.

The recipe of the album is a blend of atmospheric, modern and ethnic ambient compositions to relax you and take away the day's stress.

Some of this music could work in a forest but the blueprint is lounge with heavy instrumental elements. The only track that beats up the tempo is the rolling First Contact.

The Ibiza style Paradise On Earth and the blues fused My Life With You stand out in quality and inspiration.

More albums like this or should chill out remain more trance-like?
