This album reminds me of Nine Inch Nails, less Trent Reznor vocals and more punk/post punk elements.Camp Z fuses together punk, post punk and industrial like a well-made milkshake. With Mental Straitjacket, the band has achieved a conundrum of noise industrial rock that takes the listener into the depths of his mind and forces him to stare at it right into the face.
This is the band's latest album, counting back to their first release back in 2006. Camp Z is Manu Zorch, Dvrr, JP, and Mascozis creating music that conjures up visions of "a twisted oldfashioned echo."
Worriedaboutsatan is Gavin Miller and Tom Ragsdale. Their first EP is self-titled but popularly labeled asEP1by the group. It was initially released back in 2006 and is no longer in print. However, it is available for a free download under a Creative Commons license.
Describing themselves as playing "electronic music with heart and soul," the band certainly makes this apparent in their music. With various hints of electronic, indie and post rock integrated into their songs, it's not tough to love. Read More »
As you wait for your train on the platform, you look up and glance at the girl standing right across at the other side. She looks spaced, staring directly in your direction yet not seeing you. You stare a while longer and suddenly you're overcome with an urge to talk to her. Say hi. Maybe invite her for coffee or simply hold her hand. Instead of running to the stairs and race to the other side of the platform, you simply wait and look at her. The train comes, its doors open, it closes. She disappears with it.
Obviously, if this was your movie, you need a good soundtrack to go with that, Uniform Motion’s Picturescan help you out with that.

Licensed under a Creative Commons license, "KJC" is now available as a free download for everybody to be able to enjoy this great production and share with their friends and family. Read More »

This is the first of the records from Error!Lo-Fi Recording, a very interesting net-label I would like to recommend here.
Lagrima plays interesting and engaging instrumental lo-fi and although there is a certain that-composition-is-so-similar and I-have-heard-it-before syndromes, it's still a recommendable release.
One of the things I really love about Creative Commons music is the potential to connect directly with artists. It helps increase my enjoyment of the music, knowing a little about what these musicians are like and understanding their drive to create.
Often they contact me via last.fm after seeing their albums in my library, and the conversation develops from there. Sometimes, as in the case of Brazilian songwriter Jan Felipe, it can lead to some very interesting things. Read More »
