I'm a sucker for stuff like this - dreampop with Rachel Goswell-like vocals. They're asking 2 quid for 2 tracks, but there's also a freebie by the same act, here. Pretty!

Norman Blake, Tut Taylor, Sam Bush, Vassar Clements, John Hartford, live in 1974. An audience recording which is not the best, but the quality of the music more than made up for it for me. Free at internet archive.
Then:
Makunouchi Bento - Balada unui creier mic - one of my favorite MakBen's so far - also free at internet archive.
Elephant Powered Omstrumentals by MC Yogi
Bollywood hip hop anyone? (Have to admit I sampled several very bad elephant-related songs before lingering here. Still I am thinking this is about as good a way as any of navigating bandcamp)
Description: Malcolm Goldstein, solo violin; Radu Malfatti, trombone; Philippe Micol, bass clarinet; Philippe Racine, flute; Beat Schneider, violoncello
As a composer/violinist/improviser Malcolm Goldstein (b. 1936) has been active in the presentation of new music and dance since the early 1960s in New York City as a co-founder with James Tenney and Philip Corner of the Tone Roads Ensemble and as a participant in the Judson Dance Theater, the New York Festival of the Avant-Garde, and the Experimental Intermedia Foundation. His "Soundings" improvisations have received international acclaim for having "reinvented violin playing," extending the range of tonal/sound-texture possibilities of the instrument and revealing new dimensions of expressivity. Since the mid-1960s he has integrated structured improvisation aspects into his compositions, exploring the rich sound-textures of new performance techniques within a variety of instrumental and vocal frameworks.
Goldstein has been labeled an "improviser" and a "composer-violinist" (or merely a violinist). What this CD once and for all shows is that he is indeed those things, but encompassing them all is the fact that, profoundly, he is a composer. As he points out, "At the core of Baroque music was the integration of composition and improvisation," and Goldstein brings the perspective and focus of a seasoned performer to this undertaking. In this way his music represents a further evolution of that compositional-improvisational dialogue begun in the early 1950s in the aleatoric, "chance" pieces of composers like John Cage, Earle Brown, Christian Wolff and Morton Feldman.

Thanks, Bad Thoughts. Must do this more often - browse by species (or I guess in this case subfamilia) rather than genre. Quite refreshing.
