Now this is the kind of free album that gets the jazz fan in me excited, a straight ahead hard bop session harking back to the golden days of Charlie Parker and Clifford Brown. Droopy Contini is an alto saxophonist who is well schooled in the bebop techniques of Parker and other great sax players such as Art Pepper. Surpriscording is a spontaneous no nonsense session of mainstream jazz improvisation. Droopy sails through two Parker standards, a tune by Clifford Brown, the more contemporary “The Beat Goes On”, and a original song titled “Captain Hugo”. All tracks are enjoyable except for “Beat” which goes on too long despite the musicians’ earnest efforts to revive a rock tune that was always rather boring. The three standards are immensely better and Droopy’s modal jazz track is the best of the lot showing a gifted composer as well as a exceptional improviser. He is aptly backed by Pov Weyer on piano, Ed Mars on drums and Slikk Tim on bass.

The album is available from Jamendo in VBR MP3.

Phantom Channel is a new net label specializing in non-commercial, uncompromising ambient music. Phantom Channel Presents: Part 1 is what appears to be the first of a series meant to spotlight their artists. The music is minimalist, meditative and, for the most part, on the slightly disquieting side. While the seven tracks feature different artists, each work segues into the next soundscape offering a continual listening experience and making it a good album for deep relaxation. This is a nice debut of a promising netlabel.

The Australian chamber group Topology plays post-modern music at crisp tempos and with a contemporary twist that should surprise those who think modern classical music is difficult and elitist. The five person ensemble displays impeccable musicianship in their mildly unusual array of strings, piano, and saxophone.The works on the excellent album, Perpetual Motion Machine are witty, fun and immensely listenable. The music is what is conventionally, if sometimes erroneously, called Minimalist and there is a good sampling of Australian, American and British composers. For me,the most delightful work is Michael Nyman’s four part “And Do They Do”, a lyrically soaring masterpiece that kept me enthralled throughout. Phillip Glass and John Adams are represented by two excerpts from their operas, Nixon in China and Einstein on The Beach respectively. The Adams aria is especially gorgeous. Saxophonist and Topology member John Babbage’s tangoish “Millennium Bug” is a gem. “McLibel 1″ and “McLibel 2″ by Australian composer Robert Davidson, who also is the bassist for Topology, is a rich socially conscious mixture of minimalist composition and spoken word. John Rodgers’ “Viv’s Bum Dance” and the most avant-garde sounding work on the album, “Variations in a Serious Black Dress” by Elena Kats-Chernin, rounds out this exceptional free and legal online album.

Perpetual Motion Machine is available from Jamendo in VBR MP3. If you enjoy the music, be sure to support the artists by buying their CDs and DVDs.

Trent Reznor never stops, does he? After releasing the four volume instrumental set Ghosts for free on the internet, he follows it with a another totally free Nine Inch Nails album, The Slip. This time it is typically awesome NIN complete with Reznor’s tight vocals and heavy industrial rock. And again it is free. You still have to give an e-mail address to download it but the creative common license clearly allows free distribution so you will probably start seeing it soon on fan sites, CC archives, and torrent sites.

I probably do not need to say too much about the music. Either you love NIN or you don’t. There’s little middle ground in their uncompromising music. “Discipline ” appears to be the ‘commercial’ cut. You can catch a very funny “official” video here. However other strong tracks include “Head Down”, “1,000,000″, and “Demon Seed”. There are also a couple instrumental tracks, “Corona Radiata” and “The Four of Us are Dying” that are more reminiscent of the ambient Ghosts. Overall it is an exceptional album, one of the best of 2008.

You can download The Slip from the official site in a variety of formats “including high-quality MP3, FLAC or M4A lossless at CD quality and even higher-than-CD quality 24/96 WAVE”. If you find any fan sites that have the album available without registration, you might want to mention it in the comments. And, of course, support the artists and buy their CDs.

Al Da Tosta aka That Crooner From Nowhere states that all sounds on This is Vocaltronics comes from his own voice. That may be only partially true as it is seems many of the odd and wonderful vocal sounds are electronically altered and looped. Yet it is still a fairly amazing album that would make even Bobby McFerrin do a double take.

The fourteen tracks on This is Vocaltronics makes almost an hour of listening time that moves from break beat to jazz/pop to even a near industrial send off. This is more varied than his impressive but brief first effort. I prefer the funky numbers like “Donamiao’s Fun” and “Fun Fat Fun”. “Oddio Overplay” is also a favorite track as well as being one of my favorite web sites. The tune would feel right at home in a Fellini film. “No Time To Die For” and “Distorted Wave” has that industrial bent. Other tracks appear to be an attempt to elicit an aural landscape (”Temple of Haunted Gods” or “Dubbio non Superato”). The bottom line may be that Da Tosta has so many ideas it is hard for him to stay grounded in one area. That is to our benefit as we enjoy this fascinating collection of vocal madness.

The music of JazzAm takes me back to the jazzy French soundtracks of Michel Legrand and the classy sound of jazz artists like Chick Corea and George Benson before they were seduced by fusion and crossover popularity respectively. This is the music of afternoon cafes, urban parks and Sunday romances. The uncredited musicians have a polished sound and all know how to swing. The opening “Les Pas Dans Les Nuages” is a breezy jazz waltz that is grounded by a dancing rhythm section and a gorgeous vocal. In fact, the female vocalist pretty much takes the spotlight on each of these tracks. There are lots of excellent keyboard and guitar solos on all four tracks but the straight ahead “Va, Vis, Deviens” is especially delightful. The funky “Je Brade Tout” and the laid back “Fee Des Bois” rounds out a grooving session. Although the EP is only 4 tracks and 23 minutes long, it is still one of the best jazz outings offered free and online.

The album is available in VBR MP3s.

The oddly titled 833-45 is a musical project from the prolific sound artist K.M. Krebs, whose works under his own name had previously been reviewed here. The music of 833-45 is a amalgamation of industrial drones, radio signals, and electronic noises that may perplex some but fascinate others. Tunguska is more of a post-modern industrial sound sculpture than a musical composition. The title is taken from the 1908 explosion in Russia, probably caused by a small comet or large meteor, and the recording has a similar post-apocalyptic desolation in its sound. I find it strangely calming. Whether you find it calming or disturbing, it is definitely worth a listen.

The album is available in 320kbps MP3 or FLAC format. If you enjoy the music, you can find out more about this project from Krebs’ 833-45 blog.

Downliners Sekt has resurfaced with their second full album, The Saltire Wave. Those who enjoyed the first album’s dark trip-hop may find the newer album substantially on the rougher side but will still find plenty of the complex instrumental interactions and nuances that makes Downliners Sekt so worth listening to. There’s more of a rock music vibe on some tracks, especially on “Point Omega”, “School Daze” and “Panic! Sonic Monk” but cuts such as “Kaidan” and “Blackstock News” reveal nice down-tempo interplay within the artists’ array of guitars and electronics. I especially like “Soltices” ending mixture of sci-fi electronics and fuzz tones that left me musically buzzed and waiting for more. While there is no one astounding track, like Statement of Purpose’s “Weather Underground”, the overall quality of Downliner Sekt’s new album remains high.

Violinist Lorenza Borrani and pianist Matteo Fossi play two great sonatas of the Romantic period. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata no.10 op.96 for violin and piano is a fairly gentle work for the often tumultuous composer although it is not totally without its deep and sorrowful moments. It is certainly full of melodic beauty and rich harmonies. Robert Schumann’s Sonata in D minor n. 2 op. 121 for violin and piano is a tour de force that revels in its minor key tension. Both works are exemplary examples of the violin and piano sonata and the two musicians give them a fine performance.

The two sonatas are available from Musikethos in 160kbps MP3.

Austrian musician Simon Usaty, AKA Protestant Work Ethic, may take some listeners a little while to get used to. His almost whispering vocals sometimes interferes with his intelligent lyrics. But those who admire similarly styled artists like Elliott Smith and Ron Sexsmith will feel right at home. Protestant Work Ethics is a one man band sporting sparse but sensitive instrumentation. Sounding like a cross between Alt.country and Emo, the rather introverted singing and musicianship elicits a calm if delicate environment. “Set Out to Take on” and “Clap Clean Hands” are my favorite songs while “Duba Ktana” and “As They Are Blown Here and There” are nice instrumentals hovering between primitve acoustic and new age. This is soothing music that bears attentive listening.

Triplexity is a virtual trio consisting of Nikila, SaReGaMa and Hamelin Bérengnier. This is a highly polished but refreshingly versatile ensemble that play a scintillating mixture of nu-jazz, new age music, and world fusion. The twelve tracks offer a variety of moods and sound. The opening “Between Light and Shadow” is smooth jazz with an exotic vocal by Moving Sands. “Three 4 Ten” excites the senses and the mind in 10/8 time and their cover of John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” is surprisingly danceable. Latin beat and funk are also in abundant on some tracks and treated with the same effortless virtuosity. The only time the album gives me pause is on a couple IDM/ambient tracks that breaks up the groove but even these are well performed. Over all, this is a good album of world beats and new age jazz grooves.

Mexican Electronic music artist Vate just keeps turning them out. Here are two more free internet releases, Volt and Porno Pixels, and they have the same high quality as his others. Volt, not to be confused with the earlier Volk, is a parade of high energy techno . Most of the album have a danceable don’t-stop-the-beat quality. I miss the more obvious Nortec influence of his earlier albums but the Techno music aficionados will still find a lot to like.

Porno Pixel has some of that Nortec sound plus a little R-rated extra. The title tune and its remixes are certainly a clever mixture of melody and vocal sounds. I especially like the Free Tour mix of “Porno Pixels and the rather funky “Idolos Pop”. It is another very listenable combination of IDM and breakbeats from this talented musician.

Volt and Porno Pixel are available in Flac, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3 formats from from the links below or you can download them, along with many other albums and individual tracks, from Vate’s web site.

You may think you do not know the Piano Concerto in A minor, Op.16 by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, but I am sure you do know it. From the first descending row of notes to the famous theme of the first movement you will exclaim, “Of Course!”. In fact, there may not be a more famous opening theme in classical music although some Beethoven fans, Tchaikovsky lovers, ands even a few Rachmaninoff zealots may disagree with me.

And this is actually a pretty good performance of the concerto. Pianist Neil O’Doan is more than adequate for the role of soloist and The University of Washington Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Peter Erost, is quite impressive. The famous first movement is here in its complete glory but the lesser known parts of this three movement concerto are equally magnificent. You need to hear this masterpiece at least once in its entirety.

The Belgian band Moving Sand has a fondness for down tempo angst. The band’s best asset in this musical emo-fest is a female vocalist that is able to channel the folkish sparseness of Cat Power with the existential despair of the more rock oriented P.J. Harvey. The slow and sensuous pace of the group, especially on Gray Cells, also reminds me of an European Existential version of Cowboy Junkies.

Gray Cell is a sublime but disquieting collection of tracks. The title tune is a haunting song that hovers between ballad and chant. “Don’t Forget Happy Hour” is a beautiful duet of voice and guitar while “Even If God Saves Me” has a jazzy beat accompanying its somewhat pessimistic message. My favorite track “Should I” is a bit atypical with its exhilarating electric guitar solo.

Secret Garden is a little more as ease, even jaunty in parts. On some tracks like “Don’t Break My Head” there is a stronger jazz influence and some tracks reveal a fondness for Latin beats. . The opening “Global Hard Girl” shows off the entire band well. Yet there is still enough angst to make the emotionally obsessive happy. Both albums give us a nice taste of this talented but introverted band.

If you are looking for peaceful music for relaxation and meditation, Worrg’s free online album Oone is definitely not the one you will want. The leader of Merde Sur La Mer keeps his unfortunately brief (15 minutes) solo effort on the abrasive and manic side. Bordering on the avant garde, it still manages to remain quite accessible with snappy melodies sidestepping the heavily percussive madness. Think of an industrial Zappa or John Zorn on a rock and roll kick. This is a frantic but immensely enjoyable bit of insanity.

Kansas City resident Erik Karlsson is a singer/songwriter whose music harks back to the golden era of 70s folk-rock. He is especially schooled in the storytelling tradition of modern balladeers such as Harry Chapin. Even with such a giant name looking over his shoulder, Karlsson still manages to place his individual mark of these well-crafted original songs. His album Forty-Something is freely available from his web site and is released on a creative commons license for all to enjoy.

Forty-Something has a light melodic sense throughout. Good lyrics and a joyous mid tempo beat dominate most of his songs. The title song is a nice sample of musical storytelling. The opening track “Angel” is a very likable indie rock song that sounds a little like a upbeat Counting Crows. I also like the wistful and folkish “Long Ways From Home” and a country road song titled “Reno”.

The album is available in 128kbps MP3. If you like the music, support the artist and buy the CD with better sound quality. Erik is donating all proceeds from album sales and tips to The Harvester’s Community Food Network.

The upright acoustic bass is the most steadfast of instruments, It has a consistent sound while it is plucked away in a jazz combo or bowed reverently in an orchestra. If the electric bass is a rowdy teenager the upright would be good old wise and reliable Grandpa.

But there is always a black sheep in the family and this one comes from the strange electronically altered contrabass of Vincent Guerin. The album Free Juke Box by Guerin’s project Schizoid Bass is full of bizarre and unclassifiable sounds coming from this Frankenstein monster of an instrument. Ranging from dark ambient to funky industrial and between, it never alienates the listeners but lulls them into these bizarre soundscapes. I’m never sure how much of these sounds are from the bass only and what is electronically added but that is part of the pleasure. To know where sound comes from is boring. To hear these combination of sounds and wonder where and how they originated is both the mystery and the joy.

Jaimina Johnston’s two albums on Jamendo, which I previously reviewed here, are the first two parts of a trilogy The third album of the trilogy has finally been released. Test of Time is just as much a wonder as So Many Songs and So Little Time. In fact, it is a more tightly arranged and intricate presentation. This is evident from the first track, “Viva Italia” which is a five minutes showpiece of her talents in acappello singing and choral arrangements. The second track, “Ni Una Solo Palabra” is also a delight. Her 90 years plus voice sounds stronger on this album but still manages to present an air youth and innocent. I am tempted to say ‘delicate as a flower’ which may sound trite but oh so accurate. Spanning classical music, folk, and popular, this album is a treat. I especially like her take on “The Way To San Jose” which comes along two songs after she deftly tackles ” Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder” from J. S. Bach’s Matthew’s Passion and before she goes funky on Jamiroquai’s “Feels Just Like it Should”. Just try to find any other vocalist that will take on those three songs in their lifetime, let alone on a single album!

The Brandenburg Concertos are probably the most successful unsuccessful attempt at composing “on spec” of all time. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote these concertos in 1721 and sent them to Christian Ludwig, the Margrave of Brandenburg, in an attempt to secure a position as musician to the royal court. He was not hired and Ludwig’s response to the composition is unknown. Nonetheless The Brandenburg Concertos are one of the cornerstones of Baroque music and about the only reason we even remember the name of Christian Ludwig.

Czech Radio presents a performance of all six concertos. The ensemble is Musica Florea, directed by Marek Stryncl and was recorded in June of 2006. The work is played on original instruments of the Baroque era and is based on the original score. Here we have a recording close to what Bach envisioned and is just as good as any modern orchestral recording that I have heard. The first movement of the second concerto has always been a favorite of mine and the theme of the first movement of the third concerto will be familiar to any one who had watched a lot of BBC costume dramas. These are essential works for lovers of Classical music and an exceptional performance.

The concertos are available in formats of 192kbps MP3 or FLAC.

Argentinan percussionist Agustín Strizzi is at the helm of this exceptional jazz trio called Gepel. The trio plays a style of music based on both Latin American and North American jazz. Their Dharmasound release is titled Moducué. Fast but light piano solos dance around a dead-on rhythm of bass and drum. “Uno Flor un beso ub Problema” is a standout. ” Astart” is a showcase for Strizzi’s percussion talent but the pianist and bassist remain amazing throughout the session. (Why, oh why, do these net labels not credit all of the group members?). There is not a weak track on this album which appeared to be mainly original compositions. Recommended to all jazz fans, latin music fans and…everybody!

British composer and improviser Martin Archer presents an 80 minute performance from Krakow courtesy of the AudioTong net label. Armed with electronics, a barrage of sound loops and a sopranino saxophone, he explores every aspect of the avant-garde with ease and imagination. While utilizing drones, samples, and the usual array of tricks, this is no minimalist chill-out. Archer challenges the listener but is able to keep us interested through his wit, creativity and complexity. He starts with a looped statement, “All wars are lost” that seems to be not so much a political statement as a personal one. By the time he is finished, he has transversed industrial sounds, avant garde jazz, Celtic music, and much more. I especially enjoy his ability on the sopranino sax which makes me wonder if he have been influenced at all by the late great British saxophonist Elton Dean. This is an album that is best listened to in its entirely but if you want a track that brings the artist’s talents together, try “CC Loop”. This is a performance that never sits still and will endlessly fascinate.

Singer/songwriter Chris Bartlett recently released his debut self-titled album on the Explo-Sound label and has placed it on the internet as a free download.

I find this a fascinating debut. Basically, there are two Chris Bartletts. The first one is evident from the first few tracks of the album. “Crazy about You” , my favorite cut, has a soulful coffee house funk feel to it. The vocal styling reminds me very much of Gil Scott-Heron. “Stood Up” and Burden” and “The Counter” also have this soul/jazz slant. But later in the album the atmosphere leans to indie folk rock. I prefer the soulful Bartlett. However both styles share strong lyrics and passionate singing that puts this above the typical singer/songwriter debut. Of the other tracks, I especially like “Undeserved Curse” and “Take You Home”. Good songwriting, well crafted arrangements and a vibrant vocal style. What else can you ask for?

Kosta Vomvolos is a Greek composer of primarily theater music. From his discography on his web site plus the free albums he has on Jamendo, it appears that he is quite prolific. His influences are ancient and traditional Greek music, classical, jazz and electronic. The nine albums I’ve chosen give a good retrospective of this eclectic composer.

Doxombus may be a good place to start. Written as a soundtrack for the film of the same name directed by Fotos Lambrinos, it relies heavily on Greek folk music and traditional instruments, yet strings play important roles in such tracks as “The Lake” and “Tension”. A four note descending phrase acts as the theme uniting these pieces. This is an interesting example of atmospheric movie music.

A number of his albums are written to accompany ancient Greek drama. Not surprisingly, ancient Greek music is a major influence in these works. Hecuba: Music for Euripides’ Tragedy features a chorus of 16 actresses accompanied by lute, double-bass and drums. The lack of the visual and a translation hinders a full understanding of the work but the interplay between the instruments and monotonic chanting is still quite interesting. Sophocles’ Tragedy: Women From Trachis is much better. Vocalist Elsa Mouratidou and 20 actresses are accompanied by cello, violin, electric guitar and drums in a beautiful theater piece. It is a nice blend of ancient, folk and modern. Euripides ION Actors Touring Company-London is the last of the three works written for ancient Greek drama and it’s my favorite. It is an exotic instrumental piece that works well on its own. Vomvolos has a knack for blending the traditional with the experimental.

Two albums represent music written to accompany later dramas. The Deer’s Curse is a Kurdish tale presented with 30 actors who sing, chant, whisper the traditional story. Again, it is interesting but probably harmed by the fact we get only the aural experience. Kandalis’ Wife fares much better. This is an instrumental work with strong traditional influences. Alternately meditative and percussive, it hold up the best of the previously mentioned albums as a separate composition.

Fake Nightmare is a total different kind of theater music. Written for the National Theater of Northern Greece, this is very modern using elements of jazz, rock, electronic music, European cabaret and, of course, Greek folk music to make a dense and complex musical tapestry. Like the other theater works it still has a mostly dark mood. This is a piece that holds well on its own with “Saturday” and “Funky Finally” being especially compelling.

On My Birthday I Caught a Train to Thessaloniki is a dance piece. It starts out on accordion like a minimalist Reich composition but then moves into rock, jazz and at times an industrial sound. I can’t quite see this as a dance piece but it certainly kept me interested.

Finally, Vomvolos presents a short string quartet of 15 minutes duration titled …And Juliet. As Vomvolos’ other albums tend to be sonorous and dramatic, …And Juliet is light and breezy. The six piece suite is quite classical in feeling but it makes use of a tango in the second track while “Right Walk” has a jazz melody over a striding bass line. This may be the most pleasing and accessible of the albums but all nine will give you a different and worthwhile musical experience.

All nine albums are available in VBR MP3 with an average bitrate of 192kbps MP3. If you enjoy the music, support the artist by buying his CDs.
