Review
" A lush album of urban beats and downtempo moods. Sumptuous melody is a prominent feature of Welder's production." --Morpheus Music

Product Description
Welder - Vines & Stream Welder's debut downtempo album combines organic broken beats with urban and world flavors. Welder has been compared to the likes of Moby and The Orb and in our view brings whole new elements of flavor to the table. This is the kind of album that you'll grow to love the more you hear it. Download the high quality 192kbps version of the album here, pop it on your music player of choice, and enjoy the ride.

written on itunes..." I liked it on first listen and loved it by the time I had left it in my car CD player for a week. It really does grow on you. Lush and melodic and really happy music, thank you." -Anonymous- 5 stars

another written on itunes... "I am thrilled to have discovered Welder. So much so, I had to write the good folks at Pandora and the Music Genome Project to tell them about it. The music helps to set the eviroment i use to be creative. Can't wait to hear more." -Anonymous- 5 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars Headphone Commute Review, June 8, 2008

Brendan Angelides is the man behind his solo project under the name of Welder. With his debut on a San Francisco based collective, Cyberset, Angelides demonstrates that he's just as proficient at downtempo as he is at breaks under his other alias, Eskmo. Following this full length release, Welder got picked up by a West Coast downtempo label, Native State Records, for a digital only Bamboo Snow EP. The Purple and Orange track gets upgraded to another EP with additional remixes by Bluetech, Fanu, Dov, and Audiovoid. Ranging from world music to orchestral glitchy instrumentation, Vines And Stream is simply a fun album to listen to. From the very first track, you're enveloped in easy bopping beats, that take you on a ride in a country with the convertible top down and your spirits up. The production is tight, the percussion is crisp, and the broken melodic patterns get stuck in your memory. The uplifting and organic mood of this IDM-meets-trip-hop album, reminds you that mother nature doesn't have that something that we call "bad weather", and as it rains outside you'll feel delighted to embrace the falling drops. And you'll smile. I place Welder somewhere between Portishead, Tricky, Banco de Gaia and The Orb. Favorite track: Rain.
