Wow, this is post number 400 all-time at Black Sweater, White Cat.
I found this track, 'Bass in the house,' from Antonio Sacco - Life - The Tribal Sin vol. 04, on jamendo (open your ears). Jamendo has an extraordinarily deep collection of releases and the only thing that keeps me from choosing one-a-day's from them on a regular basis is that they use bit torrent for downloads, so linking directly to the music is a challenge.
An amazingly beautiful piece for a beautiful late spring evening."'Escape from Lhasa' was plotted out very carefully in 80 segments of 48 seconds each with the parameters changed on the fly (which required 64 minutes of extreme alertness to execute!), and has five distinct levels in which the steps descend by powers of three, with each of the sixteen tracks changed separately within those levels in order to descend seamlessly from the mountain. It represents the sprituality of the mountaintop, a place beyond words, in which the earthiness of monastery life coexists with the experience of the Infinite... a place that is attacked and desecrated, and requires flight to a refuge through the harshness of the mountains to the safety of lower ground. There is terror, but there is also the great resolve with which the flight of the young Dalai Lama's entourage was carried out, and amid all of that, the sense of the Beyond and the joy which attended these monks even during the arduous trek to India and safety. The last section, after minute 64, represents a cooling-down period in which safety is reached and flight is over, and the adrenaline is allowed to settle, and, at the very end, there is a one-sound reminder that what follows the End is the Beginning again."
Lots of great stuff this morning, it was harder than usual to choose just a single track for your pleasure - but I did. Today's track is called "Minimal Techno Music." It is the last track of a very fulfilling release I found while sculling archive.org.
A quick post on a busy Sunday in the middle of Memorial Day weekend.Created in a completely Depeche Mode, more clanninsh than Clan Of Xymox, more joyful than Joy Division.
Ah, an excellent archive.org discovery. All day yesterday I was listening to this supremely satisfying audio. If I had to classify today's choice it would fall into the post-rock category with obvious influence from Pink Floyd. I love the way this track develops. It is a big download (13megs) but 100% worth it. Excellent guitar and keyboard - excellent ambient sounds.
Trying to stay cool is the theme of the day. Yeah, I know, we have been waiting all winter and spring for days like these, but truth to tell, I'm a cool weather guy.Dark Dancer is a work with a foot in the electro of Kraftwerk and another in the techno deeper of the old Detroit.
This one was irresistible for me.Mixing influences from jazz, techno, soul, funk, world music, noise and trance. It functions as a tribute to the ancient instument of the northern Australian Aborginal nations; the Yidaki. Known by many as the didgeridoo.Enjoy this taste, download the collection and anticipate Vol. 2.
Here is an evening post so it is perhaps fitting that it has a cocktail theme.Rub the rim of the glass with the lime slice to make the salt stick to it.
Shake the other ingredients with ice, then carefully pour into the glass (taking care not to dislodge any salt). Garnish and serve over ice.
The news on the street is that the playlist site, Webjay is going away. They have an announcement in their banner to this effect along with instructions on how to salvage playlists created on the site.
The latest compilation from BlocSonic is out. If you haven't clued in yet, you will want to collect
OMG - I posted the same tune from the same release that biotic posted on Saturday!!! This is not only synchronous, but terribly embarrassing. Kudos to Tunturia, I guess they made a huge impression on both biotic and I.
I'll see your post-rock choice and raise you a post rock compilation! ;) 
This tune comes from the wonderful John Peel tribute netlabel. I've written about this unique tribute to BBC great, John Peel in past posts.
If you are hankering for a post-rock hit, this post is for you.Like the desolate yet majestic plains of the arctic north, Tunturia’s sound is at times both harsh and beautiful combining elements of post-rock, ambient soundscapes and experimental noise.If you are in Burlington, Ontario tonight you can slip on down to the Red Rooster and hear them open for a band called City of a Hundred Spires.
Volume IV continues the tradition of showcasing new, innovative artists emerging onto the larger global scene. Many of these acts are supporting self-released CDs, and we strongly encourage listeners to delve deeper into those musicians that pique an interest. It is through your support that the community thrives.Give this one a try and continue to support netlabel, Creative Commons licensed music.
I was attracted to a lot of feed activity about this artist in the last couple days. Had to try it out and very glad I did.VLADISLAV BUBEN is a musician, promoter and creator of some radio and art projects from Belarus. Vladislav presents a TV show about alternative electronic music ”Are you called electronics?” on local MTV (Belarus) he has been doing this for 7 years. He also presents a radio show "The Lost World" (the oldest radio show in Belarus about extreme & alternative music.) on Radio "Mir" 107.1 FM. He is the main coordinator of.Lostworld webzine and label.
My hunger for Creative Commons exotica can never be quelled. Yesterday, May 15 2007, WM Recordings released a various artists release called Mystic Moods [WM063]. Featuring some of my all time favorites like Jan Turkenburg, Lee Rosevere, and Happy Elf and also featuring a number of artists that I have never heard before. The notes summarize what this release delivers with "it's music for your undisputed pleasure...!" - I can't dispute that!!
The Italian netlabel, Muertepop released this collection yesterday. The artist is All About Max.Like eating a cake: the delicacy of Postal Service, Sufjan Stevens, The Album leaf and Death Cab For Cutie have inspired and sometimes influenced autobiographic facts told by Max.
Oh yes, this is a fab track. Nothing like getting my nintendo fix early on a Monday morning. Kastrull was just released on archive.org SB11-Stay_Ali. Nice, fast paced, bouncy, bitsy, everything's going to be all right, when you collect enough apple's to get to the next level sound.
I've been following an interesting forum thread at archive.org about women and netlabel music. Sminky came up in the thread, although WM Recordings isn't sure of the artist's gender.Sminky lives in the legendary land of Siberia next to a huge pine forest. In his/her childhood she (he?) sang in a local church-choir and theatre and played violin. Later he (she?) tried to sing in different Siberian rock-groups. And now, for about two years she (he?) has just been sitting at home and doing music with his/her PC.Lovely Tune. Hope you enjoy it.
It has been surprisingly warm in Berkshire County the past couple of days and this morning we were greeted by heavy rains which cooled the earth and calmed the approach of summer. The sun is just starting to come through the clouds as I post...
With the photos coming out of Mother Russia these last few days of the celebrations of the sack of Berlin during the Great Patriotic War, it seemed only appropriate to go with this tune from Brainsaw.
I was dipping into a Monotonik release by Sin Q, Passage [mtk164] and detected the touch of a Lisa Debenedictis sample and I was hooked.SinQ's blend of triphop, electronics, and ambient is evocative and beautiful, with first track 'Who's Afraid Of Noises?' using haunting female vocals, samples from noted Dutch jazz pianist Jeroen van Vliet, and a loping Bristolian sound to air things out in a rather wonderful way.I should point out that this is the second reference to the Bristol sound on this blog in a week. How cool is that?
The natives are restless: I'm referring to Jon Dean and Samuel Glaser from Clearwater, Florida. Their self titled release on you are not stealing records, Zoogoo, brings a fresh experimental attitude to today's one-a-day. Crazy, the first track, is one rapid theme after another, not stopping to give you a breath. 
Hello.
Here is one I posted over at cc365, but the link doesn't appear to be working so I thought I would migrate it over to the One-a-Day project.Quallofill is a duo from Rotterdam that have been recording together since 2003. In 2005, they performed in the finale of the Grote Prijs van Zuid-Holland and won third place in the competition. Keep an eye out for them.
This tune is from a release called The Man Who Likes Trouble on Poptronique.
You can be their friend at MySpace.
Just released (April 28th, 2007) on the German Netlabel Music Artistry, K. Fog's The K-Series is music to my ears, and will be to your ears also.
After five appearances on BSWC-The Show playlists, it is time for an Aphilas One-a-Day post.my notes tell me here we are presented with 'two finnish producers armed with second-hand vinyl and outdated software', need i say more? here we have the perfect accompaniment to those late night smoking sessions, hit repeat and toke on, this is the bristol sound too long forgotten.
Grab this shizznit now!. Share it with your friends. This is music made by people who make music because they LOVE to make music. It's REAL music. Music with meaning.
This electronic piece builds very nicely, adding layers, tones, and excitement. Just as you fall easily into its trance you'll be pulled out with a feeling that the song has changed. Some recognizable themes to delight you. Great music to work by. "Hop Sounds is a panoply of sounds which one likes here… One likes, one does not like… But, when one likes, it is TRUE happiness!!! "
I remember when Hidden Fortress posted this tune on ccMixter almost a year ago. It came back to mind via a Starfrosch post about a newish website that seems to be repackaging ccMixter material using CC licensing. The site is called Funky Remixes.The name was chosen from Akira Kurosawa’s film of the same name, and because of the intended and continued secrecy of who they really are, wanting to be judged on what they do, not what they were. After an initial request from a student of Matthew’s “Wind Chill Factor” to be remixed their appetite grew, now Hidden Fortress re-mixes are spreading like a wild fire.They haven't contributed at ccMixter since July, 2006.
