Camomille's Bandcamp page has (as a netlabel with free releases) a limited number of free downloads per month. Right now they're out of the free ones, so they had to put a small price for the releases. Should you want to help them buy new free downloads, or get the FLAC version of Rinbo, go an buy/donate something there - for Rinbo or any other release. Otherwise, they are still free (as MP3) on Camomille's website.
BTW: When I came across the much hyped debut EP from Hanetration I thought that this is something that the Bento guys could very well enjoy, so here's a repost from the Bandcamp Goodies thread:
Hanetration - Tenth Oar EP
- "Treading the lines between abstract industrialism and textured noise, Hanetration offsets these four self-released audio paintings with field recordings, manipulated glitches and subterranean ambience. Pealing away at the edges, twenty-nine minutes briskly float away as distressed electronic crackles, horns, reversed loops, fractured vocal samples and tangled strands cascade in a surreal dreamscape filled with ambiguity. As Hanetration deconstructs these pixelated sonic textures, one can easily lose themselves among the myriad of blurred effects that are punctuated by rhythmic patterns throughout. Tenth Oar is a well-balanced array of turbulentand often subtleexperiments that unfold with repeated listens. Fans of Fennesz and Boards of Canadas compressed interludes will certainly appreciate Hanetrations trajectory on this free-of-charge extended player."
- Igloo Magazine.
- "An anonymous debut EP dropped into my inbox last month from London artist Hanetration asking for some feedback. Currently unsigned to any labels Hanetrations Tenth Oar EP has been released as a free download on Bandcamp where his anonymity remains intact with no additional info. on the artist. He describes his music as ambient soundscapes, woozy atmospherics and glitchy sound collages music for headphones and I would pretty much go along with that, but I would also add that the EP is compellingly different, sonically inventive throughout and one of the most promising debuts out there in the ambient/experimental field at the moment.
Opening track Rex immediately grabs your attention with its frenzied babbling vocal layered with fluttering flute tones and a quirky beat underlying a mumbling voice buried in hazy delirium. Piano notes meander above a low static layer here and there before the rhythm picks up again to fade out on that fevered vocal line a superb track! Alarm builds slowly with piano over dense layers of velvet drone into a mournful death march parade. Lifting the tone slightly, but still with a melancholic air, Rufus includes some wonderfully bowed psaltery-like sounds which stretch out over a steampunk mechanical rhythm full of hiss and steam. Final track Wreck has a delightfully twisted vocal like a lost soul wailing in a fog shrouded limbo with a slow pulse beneath supported by an insistent pickup glitch.
No hesitation here go and download this now! This is a very exciting debut from Hanetration full of unusual and well mixed sound combinations and very worthy of the 24 minutes of your time that it will take to listen to the full EP."

Whatever happens to me during weekdays, on Saturday and Sunday morning I can't help it: my inner self regresses to a 5 year old boy mental state. It's my defence mechanism that pulls me back through time without my consent. It's a shower of heartfelt nostalgia that makes me look foolish; it's the wild animal-child in me that grabs my ego and smashes it to pieces like a fist in a bowl of ripe strawberries, spilling sweet red syrup instead of bitter blood. A couple of hours I'm the chief of a train station in the cardboard mountains with green onion forests, peering solitarily through myopic eyes towards wooden trains filled with rushed plasticine passengers. The evening goes on with the Saturday bath, a festive occasion of simulating historical underwater battles with my hands morphed into submarines, facing the fast attack of a rubber duck convoy. Sunday ends with the adventures of a couple of sad porcelain cats escaped from home and lost in the immense field underneath my grandparents' table. Monday morning, the alarm clock brutally shatters the spell - but the clock wants all the best for you, he's your ally: he wants me to tell you, through sounds, all these stories that happened in the weekend.

Hmmm, will have to listen to them all again to answer that properly... I always enjoy the opening track of Swime - it sets the stage really well, tickles my interst and creates a very specific sound-world. But I enjoyed some of your early stuff too and it's very hard to compare across rather different genres...
@ Felix:
Thanks for posting the NAGZ remix album . . .
I'll quote myself from the listening thread:
A fantastic remix album. Not only is the track by the Bento boys brilliant, but also the track by "Bassrack wobama" (great name too).
- And the closing track by "Rngmnn" (how does one pronounce that ?) is awesome !
thanks Brighternow !:) i sent your bigups to Nagz, our hungarian friend. he is under Bassrack wobama moniker too
rngmnn came from rengmann, Ronny Engmann. he used to be a demoscener (under the nickname dalezy or the unconsciousness, he did mostly chiptunes).
