I just discovered Lucky Cat. The melodies are simply beautiful. I will have to check out Digitalis next.

I love ISAN! Lucky Cat is great and the tune cathart is incredible with that bassline and a melody that sits somewhere between absurd and heartbreaking.

My other favourite tune by them is Gunnera off Meet Next Life. The rest of the album is pretty insignificant in comparison.
Check it out with this band approved fan vid;

Hmm, just basing on the looks, I'm going to grab the following three albums as well:
  1. Salamander:

  2. Digitalis:

  3. Salle D'Isan:

Can't be bad, especially because I really appreciate all their other output on my iPod! :)

Gee, Fredd, when'd you get Meet Next Life?

I still need to get Plans Drawn in Pencil though. I've fallen behind on my musics in a big way.

Anything you can get! Salamander and Digitalis I would recommend. Digitalis is their most beautiful and melancholic IMO.

Enjoy your journey. ISAN is amazing. They are for a reason on the front page of my musical last.fm library with a stunning 816 plays.

<3

My favourites by them, have a look at the top ones. You need to listen those asap; they are renditions from tracks by Erik Satie. Lovely!

i've recently bought 'plans drawn in pencil' and 'clockwork meringue' both beautiful pieces of work. i'm pretty sure i'll end up buying all their material - i haven't been this enthusiastic about an artist since, well BOC!

Wow! I discovered Isan briefly while browsing the music library they have at Barnes and Nobel back in like 2004, but I passed it up since it was more ethereal and subtle and I was looking for more straight up hip hop electronica. But I think now I'm in a better place to appreciate this stuff! I'll be checking them out per this thread's earlier suggestions.
