mrogex Absolutely mesmerizing. So much diversity, I can't stop listening. Thank you so much for making my day better. Favorite track: Alicia Keys - Fallin' (The Human Experience cover, feat. Kalibri).

JennyDinva A journey from the beginning to the end, it could be said it's a journey of love or of life, but no matter, it's wonderful. I found with my eyes closed that I fly that journey, sometimes soaring and sometimes gliding but always with a weightless feeling of freedom. I really love this album and The Human Experience's work -- outstanding. Favorite track: Setting Myself Free (feat. Quixotic).

Elizabeth Rothwell This album is superb from beginning to end. It's very rare for me to like every track on an album, that could possibly be down to me, being a little, "picky", in my dotage and tinnitus has left me missing somethings. Favorite track: Setting Myself Free (feat. Quixotic).

"Broken Open"

artist: The Human Experience (David Block)
label: Slow Down
release: 02/14/2017

"This is an age old story, of a man once a boy..."

On February 14th, David Block aka The Human Experience opened his heart to the world as he released his 6th full length album (collaborations and EPs excluded). The album, titled "Broken Open," examines the depths of the most difficult of human emotions, the "age old story," love. "Broken Open," like love, is complex and wrought with all that comes with falling in love, being in love, letting go of love, and (most importantly) loving oneself. The 13-song album immerses the listener in sadness, joy, compassion, bliss, peace, and all of the other beautiful feelings that come with experiencing what it is to love and to be loved.

The title track, "Broken Open," showcases Block's talent for blending electronic compositions with organic sounds featuring heartbreaking vocals and a piano that makes you feel like you're in a smoky jazz club which transition nicely into the scat-like snaps in "Traveling Blues," and a trombone (played by Mal Webb) that makes you feel at turns excited and lonely.

When asked about the album, Block said, "The songs explore the full spectrum of love; Birthing from innocence to heartbreak to love in the other to breaking free to finding love in oneself" - from highs that make you feel as though you're "Walking on the Moon," to heart wrenching lows as love "Slips Away."

True to form, Block showcases his talents while embracing the strengths in others. The album has many incredible collaborations, with tracks featuring The Grouch, Quixotic, Leah Song (Rising Appalachia) and more.

Block has built a diverse fan base from countries around the world and played events ranging from Burning Man, Boom, Coachella, Electric Forest, Wakarusa, Lightning in a Bottle, Sonic Bloom, Symbiosis, and Envision to name a few. David has shared the stage with artists such as Thievery Corporation, Bonobo, Tipper, Emancipator, and many more.

While Block's sultry beats and cohesive sound have always been seductive, "Broken Open" brings a brazen vulnerability that comes with maturity. More than just sharing emotion with the listener, Block provides something more - something new. "Broken Open" goes out on a stylistic limb which is both innovative and refreshing.

"It is different, and I'm embracing that it's great to be different sometimes," says Block.

The album serves as the debut album for the "Slow Down" label.

Kalya sometimes struggles with his music, but this album was nicely balanced ... Listen to it frequently ... Ver La Luz, for the good vibes ... Light of the north for it's beautiful violin at it's end and Osiris for it's awesomeness (without the floaty intro lol) sahell

Pushing Through The Pavement
by The Polish Ambassador

I've never been a great fan of mixing hip hop music with electronic one till I've heard The Polish Ambassador. Wow !! This is amazing combination, so tasteful and pleasant to listen to. I went through few albums, but so far Pushing through The Pavement is my favorite. I would also add that pretty much every tune with vocal is awesome, mainly due to the fact that those tunes are beautiful and lyrics is very thoughtful. puszekk
