Playing With Nuns - Wave Equation
The Belgian Kopp netlabel specializes in dark ambient and underground electronica. They have quite a few albums available for free and legal downloads and this intriguingly dark and drone-based album by Playing With Nuns may be among the best. Wave Equation is a dark journey that is a bit uneasy on the brain but hypnotic nonetheless. The artists plays with your ears by mixing unusual sounds with the drones which always keep you guessing where the music is going. This is one of the better dark ambient albums you can get on the internet.

Michael S. Waller makes drone-filled ambient music under the name of Seconds Before Awakening. It also happens to be my favorite name for an ambient project. He releases his music under his own netlabel, Completely Gone Recordings. Unfortunately it appears that music project and netlabel are…completely gone. But as is the nature of the internet, Waller’s eight online ambient albums still hang out at The Internet Archive where listeners can bask in the drones. They are simply labeled Zero through Seven. This is very good ambient; simple but effective. At time the looped drones and motifs can become a bit repetitious but such is the nature of ambient. It makes for good relaxing and meditation material which is what it is intended for.

Lee Rosevere’s new album titled The Ambient Baby is a creative mixture of environmental sounds and rhythms designed to “capture the interest of the child, and then slowly soothe it to sleep”. The target age appears to be from infancy to two years of age. The artist stated that the music has been tested with both infant and adult and has shown to be effective to promoting sleep. I guess you can say the music has been “toddler tested”. It is quite pleasing. It does make for a different and useful addition to the Free Albums Galore family.

Luscious layers of extended tones is the hallmark of the ambient music from 
Wacky Southern Current isn’t wacky or southern, unless we talking about Southern Italy, perhaps. The musical project is the brainchild of Italian musician Marco Cervellin who uses acoustic instruments with a gentle electronic persuasion. The sound is down-tempo post-rock that is soothing to the point of dream inducing. I’ve featured the first album at

As far as dark ambient goes, 
Here’s something you don’t hear every day. A theremin album worth listening too. I don’t mean to be mean but the theremin is a rather neglected instrument partially due to its overuse in grade B horror films. But Istanbul-based musician Cihan Gülbudak, recording as Meczup on Hanging From The Purgatory’s Pendulum, shows that this instrument can be a thing of beauty. Vital to its success is the way Meczup plays and loops the instrument into gorgeous arrangements . You do not have to listen farther than the first track, “A Tale For Lancinant Screws” to realize what an exquisite recording this is. And it is amazingly free and legal from 
Alessandro Coronasaka aka Ballpen states that the goal of his album titled The Dreams Trilogy was to write songs as they are dreams. To a large extent he has succeeded for, like dreams, his compositions are loosely organized and meandering. I expect you will need to use Ballpen’s actual dreams as sort of a Rosetta Stone to decode most of this pretty album. Yet the idea works and our ears intuitively unravels the beauty of this album. On some tracks such as “The Sea Dreams” he uses vocals that are as ethereal as his instrumentation. Overall, it’s a oddly attractive minor masterpiece of bits and sounds that should keep your enthralled.
Romanian musicians Felix Petrescu (Waka X) and Valentin Toma (Qewza) founded the experimental electronica project Makunouchi Bento (also a form of Japanese box lunch) in 2001 and it is still going strong. Swime is their newest album and it is available as a free and legal download. Their music uses both electronic and acoustic instruments. The sound is rather free-floating, using various and sundry sound elements while still having an apparent structure. That’s not to say their music is predictable. There is a feeling of exploration that is transmitted to the listener. Overall it is excellent electronic music, if a bit on the avant-garde side.
Dave Murray-Rust aka 
Steve Setzepfandt and Josh Wittman are the masterminds behind the electronica project called Rho. They have two albums on the 
So it is not necessarily a Christmas album but snow is certainly considered seasonal and Motionfield’s new album The Sound of Snow is all about snow. Or at least they are attempting to capture a cold and wintry feel in this ambient drone-filled effort. It is quite hypnotic but also very listenable and…dare I say it?…Chillin’. Each of the ten tracks has its own personality but stays in the realm of an ambient dreamscape. Highly recommended for your meditative times.
