The title says it all. Downtempo ambient music, chilled out and in a word – perfect.

Sergei Rachmaninov – Etudes
Rachmaninov, the Russian composer, greatly influenced generations of composers. Here are fourteen of his Etudes-Tableaux.
Mizati – Conocer
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Here’s a release for you:
A dark sounding set of tracks, Mizati meanders in style but doesn’t displease in the slightest.
M e r r y C h r i s t m a s !
Xenoton – See Land
Electronica for the masses. A little dnb, a little glitch, a little idm. Nicely rendered minimal electronic compositions.
Oakhurst – Various Tracks (and some christmas cheer)
First this: Yay! O Holy Night, the William Hung version!
Next, check out this:
Go get some bluegrass for christmas! Not an actual web released cd, but there’s plenty of tracks in this bands archive section, so you can create your own compilation. Excellent polished bluegrass sound from these fellows.
Various Artists – The WIRED CD
A compilation of sixteen tracks from various well known semi-underground artists. Brought to you by the Creative Commons people. The cd varies in style, and features artists such as David Byrne (Talking Heads), Chuck D (Public Enemy), and the Beastie Boys. This is as close to mainstream pop music as you’ll ever find here on the orbit. 🙂 Enjoy!
Revolution Void – Increase The Dosage
Jamming breakbeats with jazzy instrumentation. Now this is the way jazz should be done! A modern mixture of old school jazz and new school electro.
The Bentones – Beer On The Tracks
The radio stream isn’t quite working as well as I want it to, so check back in a few days and I will have a working link. At the moment, it works sometimes but not others. In the meantime, there’s this:
The Bentones sound like exactly what they are – five guys sitting around in the yard playing their instruments. The ensemble consists of two guitars, two mandolins, and an upright bass. Picking an assortment of songs including covers of some well known tunes, the Bentones have the sound of a garage bluegrass band. Because, well, thats what they are. Check them out!
Woops! No updates for 11 days? What’s wrong with me… busy busy busy. So anyways, FL6 is out. There is much clangor over at the looptalk forum. It’s pretty slick, I must say, the new plugins are great. I had a problem with DirectWave, but that may be because the soundfont I tried to load was around 300 MB, heh heh.
And now for something completely different – baggy radio! A mix of everything from trance to rock to electro to reggae to experimental to classical… I think you get the picture. Listen today and let me know what you think.
