Fortyone - They're On The Moon Right Now

The Creative Commons music scene moves on...I take a break and come back to find old plunderphonic favorites, Fortyone featured on a BlocSonic release. Very cool. The release has a lunar theme that works well with our recent eclipse.

Michael Gregoire has a great concept of CC compilations that he has worked for 12 volumes now. Great work and you can find gems on every one of them.

I first enjoyed Fortyone when they appeared on several Comfort Stand releases. If you are new to netlabels, then take the time to check out the 71 releases that appeared on the Comfort Stand netlabel. You should be pleased.

All for now. Out.

Kaer Trouz - Revenge (Mix Cuit A Four)

Yep, I'm here.

A new post. No fancy name or anything, but I'm moved to post this wonderfully ethereal mix by ccMixter Kaer Trouz.

At the ccMixter site (nice retooling, guys), Teru compares Kaer Trouz's vocal work to Chrissie Hynde. Very nice track. Glad to be back.

BSWC Once-in-a-While: Candy Chang - Bravo Futura

Bass attack! This is a release from June, 2005. I came across it while putting Saturday's show together. Thumping electro for your ears. I think it is going into the fourth set.

The release notes describe the sound as a "Fiercely polished electro with rocked-out soul". Oh, and that bass.

The release is called Typography/Gestalt [RAmp313].

Her approach to music is described in the release notes:
"Candy Chang is remarkably able to glance back at Prince and Cybotron, while keeping her designer's eye fixed on a new style and sound all her own. "
Enjoy and best wishes for a nice holiday to all.

BSWC Once-in-a-While: Metro Science - Paranoid

Elektronische Spurensuche [rest007] is the name of this fabulous little release on the netlabel, rest.

Metro Science is Thomas Probol and this release came out in October, 2004. This the only thing he has on archive.org and that kinda makes me sad.

When I find something I like as much as I like this release I want more, more, more.

BSWC Once-in-a-While: Sublinear - Our Weapons are Useless Against Them

This release is from a netlabel called This Plague of Dreaming. It was released in May. The release is called Pinned Beneath the Boiling Sky [plague009].

The liner notes point to Sublinear's soundtrack experience in describing the music in this release as "disquieting, cinematic trip-hop..."

One of the tunes on the release, "Fragility", appeared on the wonderful Halloween release, Calling all Fiends from our friends at Oddio Overplay.

BSWC Once-in-a-While: Al Da Tosta - Donamiao's funky Panda

This release from Al Da Tosta is amazing. The spinning, mesmerizing vocals on this track will lure you towards listening to the entire release or my name is not Biotic.

The release is called That Crooner from Nowhere - This is vocaltronica! [MTCAT020].

P.S. Loving the search term "vocaltronica".

Excellent piece of music recently posted at archive.org. It just enjoyed a spin on my hard drive. Highly recommended release called Bubble [knob008] from the netlabel, Knobs.
