  • Gp. thx for that Gruenrekorder link! I love Ernst Karel's Swiss Mountain Transport Systems on that label.

    You are welcome. I think it might actually have been you posting that Swiss album some time back that alerted me to the label, and I have enjoyed reading about and listening to Water Beetles of Pollardstown Fen. The sampler I found linked somewhere else.

  • Thanks, as I said " I've really really enjoyed everything I've heard so far" really. I guess that will be the third thing.
  • Not my cup of tea, but today Amazon is giving away 2 albums by Garth Brooks: The Chase and In Pieces. If you're interested, get it here.

    - More El-Dabh research:


    Track 3, "Wire Recorder Piece" is missing (available at Emusic).
    Track 10, "Leiyla Visitations One" unavailable for download (available at Ubuweb).

    Excellent stuff, BTW. . .

    Here's an amazing set of free downloads if you like contemporary music. 

    BIRP.FM stores a different playlist every month consisting of about 75-100 songs.  Get this though. It lets you download the most recent 6 months or so of playlists. 

    Important Note: It's not a direct download; you can either download it via bit torrent or using one of those free download services called  mega.nz. I've used mega.nz lots of times; it's quite easy. (To see these links, click on the month and then click one of the download boxes underneath the graphic). 

    From what I can tell, all these downloads are authorized samples of new groups. I'm just getting started listening to them. 

    Most of the recent months have torrent and zip download links. But when you go 6 months and back, they just have streaming links (including the free soundcloud). 




  • Don't know if anyone has posted these free downloads by Banabila already, but this is a pretty amazing cornucopia:

    My faves so far include Marilli Remixed; Streets, Dreams, and Memories; TENT; Tapu 25; Common Ground; Bouwwerk; Onze Jongens; and Songs from "Vuka Vuka."
  • Thanks @burntwoodfactors , not that I remember . . .

    - Pretty amazing.

  • Yes, @Brighternow, I forgot to mention that one, a great companion to the far-too-short Cloud Ensemble ep on emusic.

    My thanks too, I really have enjoyed everything I've heard so far and it looks like there's lots to go. Makes me glad that the Ms are on the way.

    From Ambient Blog (posted march 29. 2017):

    Banabila Exclusive: Dissolve (Free Download)

    Installation View

    Ambientblog is very proud to present this exclusive download from Michel Banabila: a 38 minute soundscape created for Gerco de Ruijter‘s installation called Dissolve

    Dissolve  is an installation by landscape photographer and filmmaker Gerco de Ruijtershowing landscape images filmed in the Alamosa Valley, Colorado, near the Great Sand Dunes. The shore of the mountain lake is shown in time-lapse images of one full day, from early morning darkness to nightfall, comprised into 4 minutes.
    Using animation technique, the reverse image is added, so the mirrored landscape changes position with the real at about three-quarters of the movie. From there, the next sequence starts in mirrored mode until it is swapped into its original mode. This way, the images are shown in endless succession.
    The landscape and its mirrored image are tilted 90 degrees, so ‘form and landscape are interwoven in a poetic, abstract experience‘.

    Dissolve was premiered on the Holland Animation Film Festival (HAFF) in March 2017, as part of the Expanding Animation exhibition, presenting installations that combine animation, film and fine arts.

    Am I correct in thinking that you can only d/l individual tracks here?

    Yes.
  • Yes, this is true (and a few are badly tagged), but I appreciate the link!
    There's a 2016 one also on the sidebar if you missed the one from last year.
  • Cheers, just thought that I might be missing something obvious.

    I see what you mean about the tagging. I don't normally worry too much but what a balls up. Funny that folk don't bother when it's supposed to be a high profile advert for the label!
  • I've been going crazy with Indonesian music of past and present.  I mentioned some of my bargain finds from emusic here

    One annotated list of best Indonesian music referred me to a website of Creative Commons albums from Indonesia, all of which are downloadable for free. 
  • Good to see your interest in Indonesian rock.
    Bad news today in the RIP section here.
  • edited January 2018
    Rostasi, Thanks for the info. This is a perfect day to catch up on Koes Plus....
  • I know some folk on here like The Necks - there's a free live set here.

    Five live sets by the Fred Hersch Trio have been posted as well.

  • Another nice ambient sampler:


    Rusted Tone

    This compilation supports the launch of Rusted Tone Recordings; an independent tape label specialising in ambient, drone, and experimental music, based in Farnham, Surrey. 'Sampler Vol. 1' includes musical contributions from a wide variety of artists scheduled for solo releases throughout 2018 and well into the following year.

    The label will be releasing the first full-length album, 'Glimmer' by Spheruleus, on cassette tape and digital download, available 19/02/2018.

    The sampler is free to download, however, any proceeds made will go towards supporting physical releases and sustaining Rusted Tone Recordings.

    Yet another nice sampler created to kickstart a label: this one's mostly ambient, a couple of tracks (8 & 12) are noisier:

    the opposite of aloof vol. 1

  • ACR has a second NYP sampler, haven't had a chance to listen yet, but worth a look:

    the opposite of aloof vol. 2
