Listen up electronica music fans. If you haven’t heard of Lunar, you’re missing out. Lunar is actually the name that music composer Matt McKegg goes by. The musician from New Zealand has released a couple of fantastic albums that really have a unique way of standing out. His music is best described as a smooth blend of orchestration mixed with both classic and modern sounds. Elements of dance, ambient, and drum n bass are present throughout Lunar’s music.

LunarLunar’s first album Hybrid Awaken was released in 2006, and his second release Wall of Sound came in December of 2007. The music of both albums are powerful, meaningful, and full of emotion. I’ve listened to both albums quite a few times, and I am always able to pick up something new and original each time. For me, highlights of the album Wall of Sound are songs “Chaos Light” and “Stepping Stones”. Although Lunar’s Wall of Sound is available to purchase at Amazon, you can preview and download the album for free (for a limited time), which I think is amazing. If you like what you hear, you can even download the first album Hybrid Awaken for free as well. It’s awesome there are some fine electronica albums like this available for free.
