This release features timeless, synthy IDM. It was released in 2010 by the Fwonk netlabel. Also checkout Fwonk’s anniversary compilation FWONK*50 (play on ojdb) for an overview of their extensive catalogue. But back to this review: 10 tracks with approximately 50 minutes length hover around a quite neutral mood, similar to Pluxus. Some tracks are slightly upbeat, but most titles won’t make you jump to your feet. Read on for a description of my two favourite tracks and the download link.
A new batch of five black 1080p high definition wallpapers, all made from photos recorded in or around Munich. The first image shows the entrance of the university sports facilities in the Olympic park. The lamp can be found in the ethnological museum and the last picture is recorded in the Pinakothek der Moderne.
So far, I mainly posted shiny and bright wallpapers. Time for something darker. Enjoy!
The UK based netlabel Fwonk finally got me with this clicky, dancy house release by the Bachelor Machines. To me they sound like a younger Justice or a more mature Stay Ali. Stompy beats, chiptune aesthetics and very memorable (not to say catchy) melody lines make me like their Fatal Error. 10 tracks with over 50 minutes duration await you below, together with my recommended track.
Only half a year after ojdb’s release, the amount of music has increased at unprecedented speed. The graph below shows the evolution of my free music collection over the last years. It took me over four years to collect my first 1000 tracks, while during the last year, I collected 3000 tracks—and the year is not over yet! In the graph (image) I added releases that have been important drivers for my collection activity. Play them all on ojdb or read on to find out why I consider these releases special.
50 minutes of pure harmonies. Walls of synthetic chords, structured by spares percussion. Knoxband on diym netlabel is a wonderful example that soundscapes don’t have to sound blurry. If I wanted to describe the album in three words, “musical space journey” would be my best bet. Find previews to my two favourite tracks below.
The Clinical Archives is one of the major netlabels out there. While most of their releases are too experimental for my taste, over 400 releases allowed me nevertheless to find some good ones. VII by Lunatic Scale is fresh, melodic alternative (or mainstream) Rock from Russia. Three sweet tracks, short and good.
The netlabel Lost Children specialises in Progressive Rock and related music genres. They offer a magnificent collection of free music compilations called The Silent Ballet. Here I present my favourite release of this series, being on the quiet and ambient side of the musical spectrum it offers. Volumes 1, 5 and 6 are my next recommendations, all with more vivid music. Like usually, you can find descriptions of my favourite songs below. Remarkable about this album is its polished production quality.
Hi, this blog is about great free music, self-made desktop wallpapers and some text in a while.
