The third - and final - part of the Final Collection sees us delve farther back into the deepest depths of the early 90s. Before multimegabyte samplers and multitimbral monsters - when all that was to hand was an Amiga, a tape deck and a dodgy FM Synth. Much of this is darker and less conventional than you might expect, the bass is thicker and the vocal samples harder to make out, but rest assured, when the beat kicks in it kicks in hard. Ladies and Gentlemen : The Eight Bit Collection.

A new Release from Chupa Cabra House (www.chupacabrahouse.com), a Record Label/publisher dedicated to releasing all materials for free to the p2p community. Feel free to spread this release far and wide. This is Timm Tayshun's first solo album. Encoded @320 kb/s. Timm Tayshun plays hip hop. Not that kind of hip hop. The good kind. You haven't heard it yet but when you do you'll slap your forehead and say "Of Course! Of Course we needed a hip hop song about not wanting to wake up in the morning. And we always wanted to hear someone rap about the evils of consumerism gone bad. We needed a song about escaping from a prison planet run by giant bugs. Why hasn't anyone else written a short song about not wanting to help your friends move? Hell there's even one song about a Parade NOT happening on his new album! Of Course!" You'll say all of that and then you'll go tell all of your friends because this is one secret you won't want to keep to yourself. You'll feel guilty if you do. www.timmtayshun.com www.leftleglimpin.com www.myspace.com/timmtayshun

<p>Brought to you fresh from the mid-nineties via teleport this is a cleaned-up, digitally-remastered collection of Cycloid's distorted, beat-happy offerings. </p> <p>This is the second of three collections and hosts the darker breakbeat you'd expect from 3am in a smoked out room.</p>

Distorted Beats and Breaks freshly teleported from the mid-nineties to now, this is a cleaned-up, digitally-remastered set of Cycloid's distorted, beat-happy offerings. This is the first of three collections of official Cycloid remasters and concentrates on the more moody, cyclic end of the Cycloidal spectrum.

Electro-acoustic instrumental post-rock and noise music made with open source software and an aging four-track cassette recorder.

Thanks to the wonderful community of musicians, artists and song writers on ccMixter as well as the power of Creative Commons licenses, you can now skip getting a license to play their music in your establishment. This is because many musicians have released their work freely and will allow you to use it, even commercially, so long as you give them credit.

The Slip (also known as Halo 27) is the eighth major studio release by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails. The album was released on May 5, 2008 via digital download on the official Nine Inch Nails website. The album was made available without any prior notice or advertisement, and in a similar fashion as the band's previous release, Ghosts I?IV, released two months earlier. The album was produced by Trent Reznor alongside Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder.

For their fourth release, Hungry Lucy beautifully demonstrates their passion for the craft of songwriting. Rather than spend months in production, this time around the duo present ?Before We Stand ... We Crawl? as a collection of six raw, emotional songs. These basic arrangements use piano, acoustic guitar, strings, wind instruments and sparse drum parts to underpin Christa Belle?s heart-felt lyrics and highly emotive vocals. Taking the ?less is more? approach, the duo purposely left each song exposed with emotion at the surface, stripping away any pretense that may surround electronic music. <p>Tracks: <br > - A Girl Alone <br > - Harvest <br > - Losing Faith <br > - Storm (Carried Away) <br > - Alfred (Haunted) <br > - Fearful (live & unplugged) </p> <p>More at www.hungrylucy.com</p>

The EP was originally released in the Hippocamp.net netlabel in 2005. <br> Release notes : <br> "I decided for this EP to create 4 tracks in different styles, steadily progressing in tempo (from 10bpm to 170bpm). Each track was also a test-bed for new VST plugins I am developing. Many of the VSTs are in an early phase of development, and I incorporated the unintended sounds caused by bugs into some of the tracks. On Strange Communication Part 3, I experimented with building realistic sounding acoustic sequences using very primitive samples, for example the entire acoustic guitar part is built from 12 samples of plucked open guitar strings, and a few harmonic plucks (the entire end sequence is made from these harmonics). Strange Communication Part 2 also uses this idea - the faint choral pieces are built from over 50 very brief samples from about 8 choral pieces. These samples were then manipulated and sequenced together to create an entire new choral sequence. Strange Communication Part 4 is a previously untitled track (Untitled15), a demo version of which was played on BBC Radio 1 by Rob Da Bank."

Ghosts I-IV is the seventh major studio release by Nine Inch Nails and was released on March 2, 2008. The album contains 36 instrumental tracks and is the first album from Nine Inch Nails following its announcement that the band had severed its ties with Interscope Records and intended to release future material independently. Initially intended to be a five-track EP, the album is presented in the form of four nine-track instrumental EPs. The tracks do not have names, and are only identified by their track listing, position, and album art. The team behind the project featured Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Alan Moulder, with instrumental contributions from Alessandro Cortini, Adrian Belew, and Brian Viglione.

<b>Space Crackers</b> is Clawjob's debut album, a science fiction rock opera spanning 100 million years and over an hour of music. It covers a wide range of sonic territory, from the majestic pomp of "Welcome to Space School" to the bouncy Brit-pop hooks of "I Got My Space Pass" to the ferocious speed metal of "Dooks of Doom Part III." The album is topped off by the schizophrenic 20-minute long title track, a mini-opera in its own right.<P> <b>------------------------<br> CLAWJOB : SPACE CRACKERS<br> ------------------------</b><p> 1.

But when Julian breaks his toe before the thirty week-long mission starts, the only available replacement is Greg, a sub-par student whose infatuation with Madeleine is matched only by his ignorance of her romance with Julian. Greg is thrilled; Julian is not. Soon, however, Julianâ??s fear of being cuckolded is overshadowed by the fear of being VIOLENTLY DEVOURED, as his trusty Radartron detects an incoming spaceship full of voracious aliens. While Madeleine struggles to complete the mission, Greg pursues his elusive Madeleine, and Julian takes leadership of the Earth's defense squad. Things aren't looking too good for the human race!

So, we made it - '10 Years Of Monotonik - The Mix' is testament to that. It's hard to believe that it was in early 1996 that we first started up our net.label Mono - initially as a .MOD-only label, since this was before the days of MP3s (and, indeed, of very wide use of the Internet.) What a long way we've come since then. The first couple of years, for those who recall it, actually had individual Commodore Amiga-based BBSes distributing our material as 'official distros', before FTP sites such as Aminet kicked in and made spreading material much easier, then Scene.org started helping out and a switch to PCs and MP3s was made (in around 1999!) From then on out, there was a dalliance with sublabels, including the now defunct Mono211 and Monoraveik, before Monotonik was standardized on and we carried on publishing the best Creative Commons-licensed, freely distributable MP3s we could find right to where we are now, halfway through the '00s. So many people deserve thanks for helping us keep on keeping on - from Tommy (Support.nl admin) through stalwart Monotonik releasers such as Vim! and Lackluster, and more recent supporters like Ossi (Planet Boelex). I'd like to thank my family and my wife Holly for giving me the inspiration to continue Mono, but most of all, it's the Monotonik artists - you're the label, not me, and it would be nothing without you. It's hard to estimate exactly, but millions of music tracks from hundreds of Monotonik artists have been downloaded in the last ten years, and thus, we commissioned a special mix from Christopher 'Whalefish' Whaley to honor some of our favorite Mono artists and moments. Here's the full tracklisting (and there's some danger of a part 2 mix, since we had to leave so much good stuff out, btw): 1. bliss - life on the rooftop 2. secede - seafold 3. planet boelex - paprikas from deep 4. vim! - whirlwind snooker 5. braces tower - king of rock 6. ramone - back to the oldskool 7. super science - sometimes we're happy 8. whiskas - as in cockroach 9. dreamfish - twisted riddim 10. fun tourist - ddd 11. beak - amoral mayor earwig 12. twilight - crystal rain 13. distance/lackluster - starcell u.k. 14. aleksi virta - outer edge intro 15. thug - obatem by night 16. jiva - sous l'eau au pied 17. luminfire - bananadittydub 18. esem - thinmute 19. sense - icy l tap 20. sleepy town manufacture - lain say you care 21. grandma - strawberry rhubarb oppai 22. transient - trashybin 23. idmonster - the force may be with you Spread the mix, and we love you all. - Simon Carless, Monotonik - October 2006

<p>A political and subversive post-industrial rock album with an interesting mix of classical instruments, guitars, electronic beats, and a small dash of aussie hip-hop.</p> <p>The main lyrical themes on this album are standing up for minorities, questioning authorities and exploring liberal Christian theology. Realised eschatology (the theology and our song of the same name) states that all biblical talk of end times relates to the present, not the future. Therefore the apocalypse represents metaphorically the things that are wrong with our world including corruptions in leadership, unfair division of power through hierarchical systems, rights traded for the illusion of security, the oppression of minorities etc. In general this is the theme of the first half of the album. The next half deals with the flip side. The Kingdom of God is a metaphor for Love in action, making a difference and reforming this world. Most of the songs are not religious in content, these themes are merely used to frame the political insights explored.</p> <p>These are high quality mp3s 192kbps with embeded images which display when played on a compatible player.</p> <p>The album is released under a creative commons licence, which means that you are encouraged to use and share the songs with very few limitations. www.politicsapocalypse.com</p> <p>One click above delivers the whole album.

[ELECTRONIC, JAZZ, ALBUM] The latest electronic-jazz Revolution Void album from the talented Jonah Dempcy is called called 'Thread Soul'. It's a full-length release featuring collaborations with Lucas Pickford (bassist for Brian Blade) and Cochemea Gastelum (sax player for Fred Wesley, Robert Walter's 20th Congress), and jams things up in a deliciously good way - best of all, it's Creative Commons licensed, and freely distributable, so share on!

[REMIX, SAMPLES, FLAC] David Byrne and Brian Eno's landmark sampling album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was recently remastered and reissued, and to celebrate the release, Byrne and Eno launched bush-of-ghosts.com, with audio source files from two of the classic tracks - "A Secret Life" and "Help Me Somebody" - offered under the Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike 2.5 license, so you can (subject to the download terms of use) use them to make remixes for the site. These source files were originally made available in .WAV format, but Tycho Martin Clendenny has re-encoded them in lossless .FLAC format to save around 400mb in space, and made these versions available to LegalTorrents.

[TRIPHOP, VOCAL, COLLABORATION] Tryad consists of five members - vavrek and arna in Seattle, John Holowach in Ohio, rjmarshall in Japan, and new member ema - it creates impressive-sounding vocal triphop featuring both male and female vocals. 'Public Domain' is the collective's first full album, and is available both for CC-licensed download and for purchase on real-life and virtual music services worldwide. Even Creative Commons svengali Lawrence Lessig has been heard to exclaim of Tryad: "I am a big fan... Brilliant." It's something a little different, and therefore well worth seeking out.

[SINEWAVE, EPIC, ALBUM] 'Collages Rhythmos' is the work of Dimitris Diavatis, born in Thessaloniki, Greece, and now resident in Zagreb, Croatia after a stint in Germany. He describes his own work as: 'Electronic super-programmed beats, with lush atmospheres, sometimes classical elements, some piano playing, ethnic beats coming mostly from India, always searching...', and this supremely eclectic 13 track, 71 minute album lives up to those concepts, breezing through a multitude of styles and rhythms - recommended.

[JAZZ, LIVE, ELECTRONIC] Revolution Void is the music project of 21-year-old Jonah Dempcy, a producer, DJ and jazz pianist who creates a distinct blend of jazz and electronic music, and this 11-track Creative Commons-licensed album features live saxophone, guitar, and vocals cut up with funky electronic touches. "A great disc, and one that listeners should definitely look into. 4/5 stars." -Matt Borghi, AllMusic.com.

[INDIE, ALT.ROCK, ACOUSTIC] The first National Solo Album Month (NaSoAlMo) was held in November 2004 - this is 7 indie/alt/acoustic CC-licensed albums featuring guitars, vocals, and a decidedly non-electronic feel, yay, from Walkathon, Cash Nexus, Lauren Kristen Mullen, Ryan Walsh, Miguelito Contraband, Bryce Durbin, Lord Eric Haugen.

[ECLECTIC] A 320kbps MP3 version of November 2004's freely distributable Wired Magazine cover CD - includes the Beastie Boys, David Byrne, Dan The Automator, Gilberto Gil, Cornelius, and many more Creative Commons-licensed tracks, all licensed for remixing and spreading - unmissable.
