More of my weekly music picks. They are free of charge, as long as you’re in the right place to get them. This week’s favourites: The Six Degrees Sampler and the great Loscil ambient track.
Loc | Title | Artist | Comments |
USA | Coupled Key | Cydelix | Acoustic Spanish guitar lead, dreamy electronica backing, earnest piano melody growing to sustained sound-wall with psychotic fiddler – yes, people, we have a decent instrumental chill-out track on our hands. |
USA | The Best Treasure Stays Buried | Zoey Van Goey | Sounding for all the world like a junior Suzanne Vega |
USA | Dub for Cascadia | Loscil | Great ambient track that could have escaped from the Myst soundtrack. |
USA | Album: Global Grooves Sampler | Six Degrees Records | Another great sampler album from Six Degrees, with eleven quality tracks of world music. |
UK | One Time | Justin Bieber | A taster for the latest teen heartthrob. Disco heaven but I’ll be waiting until his voice breaks before I listen again. |
If you don’t already have it, bookmark Mercedes-Benz Mixtape. Every eight weeks the M-B marketing folks post a new mix of new artists on this page, complete with a zip-file of the MP3s for easy download from anywhere (mouse over the player and click “MP3 Downloads”).
