Sun Ra Arkestra - London 2014 . BBC Session live at the Livingston Studios, London, UK; June 18, 2014. Broadcast June 30, 2014. Excellent radio broadcast.
Prestige Records is 65 this year. They are celebrating with a contest and a free compilation download from he archives. They are working with Down Beat Magazine. Worth checking out, even if you have most of the tunes.
Thanks Bremble. Looking at the files, I think I already have all but 2 or 3 of these! But I am glad to have any or all. As I recall, some Prestige/OJC titles were dropped during a distributor change (or something) a few years ago. Maybe some will be reissued around the anniversary....
I've always been curious but never gotten anything by him before; I started at the beginning with Salvador Kali. I remember some good reviews of Violently Bleeds too...
Just spotted that the free download from AVRO of a individual work from The Sunday Lunchtime Concert has restarted - current download is Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto.
There is also the podcast, from which the weekly downloads are taken, which has about 2 hours of music.
The latest and final curated Future Sequence compilation is out, Sequence 8.
Dag Rosenquist, Radere, Petrels, and a bunch of new names (one of them, Kevin Verwijmeren, had a track I liked quite a bit on Sequence 7). Free at Bandcamp.
This may have been mentioned before, but Noisetrade has a free EP from Punch Brother Chris Eldridge w/ jazz guitar phenom Julian Lage. I'm angling to see these guys open for Kenny Barron/Dave Holland in a few weeks.
Step 1. Please select part of this MP3 of J.S. Bachs Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, II. Andante: http://goo.gl/XqBvb
Step 2. Then transform that sample, through any methods you desire, into something that you feel meets the definition of abstract expressionism provided by the Clyfford Still Museum: marked by abstract forms, expressive brushwork, and monumental scale.
I was pleased to have identified Still's work before reading the description (though, admittedly, I mentally misspelled his name "Styll" for an unsurprising reason).

08 Trio - Live in Studio
Doesn't push any envelopes, but an enjoyable and well recorded (I think...I was listening to it on a plane) piano trio album for free at Jamendo.
Available as NYOP on Bandcamp

Don't think this has been mentioned elsewhere. An interesting and varied selection.
A dark and strangely doom like album by the two brothers in W
Various Artists: Disquiet Junto Project 0036: Still Life
Dream Twice - Collect Dew
Grainy short drone pieces, free download, EP-length. Some nice moments here, well textured.
- A punk band from Iceland with a 19 years old Björk Guðmundsdóttir in front.
- A really historical album from 1984, but I wonder if the uploader has got a permission from the One Little Indian label (Björk's label)
Monty Adkins - Residual Forms
Very nice drone/piano piece.
Boxed Vol. 2 - free compilation of "instrumental grime". Nice!
I haven't heard it, but it's apparently outlaw country that hipsters can like.

Here is a sampler from Mythical Records, free download, or you can stream it on BandCamp.
