mt010 Musictrade audio mt netlabels Musictrade opens year 2007 with this ambient compilation featuring a full house of Musictrade artists. As one would expect from Musictrade, there is a strong edge of experimental in this compilation, with elements of classical drone ambient combining to innovative use of field recordings and found sound material. Electroteque's [Australia] Collective Consciousness is, as the title suggests, a musical insight into various voices and ideas present in today's collective consciousness, bound together in relaxed and stylish fashion charasteristic to this Sydney based artist. 'Birds' by Doc [Finland] and Frags [Sweden] is an ambient adventure into the strangely musical world of birds, based on Doc's countryside field recordings from summer 2006 and Frags's ambient groove. Frags also contributes another track 'Eleventh of Eleventh', a calm and soothing meditative piece to relax in. Softspace [England] takes us to his fantastic visual soundworlds with two tracks. Moon's Halo is reminiscent of floating ice crystals in the upper atmosphere while Hollow Lands brings to mind sci-fi like scenes of Earth in a distant future. KraftiM [Holland] also contributes two tracks: Awl I Can Say is an introspective dive into the depths of a single sung vocal, and Danik builds on KraftiM's daughter's humming combined to cool wave material provided by Electroteque. The album closes with cinematic and capturing 'Helsinki' by Unknown Forces [Scotland], based on his field recordings from a recent concert trip to Helsinki. <b><i>Note: 24bit/88.2kHz audiophile version of this album is available <a href="http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3593336">on BitTorrent</a>.</i></b> 2007-01-07 2007 ambient;musictrade;electronic;experimental electronic;field recordings;found sounds http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ 1 2007-01-07 20:38:46 2007-01-07 20:30:13 good.doc@gmail.com Musictrade Musictrade Musictrade Musictrade Musictrade 2007-01-07 20:43:00 2007-01-09 18:28:36 2007-01-09 21:39:49 2007-01-10 17:41:01 2007-01-14 03:23:45 2007-11-06 23:46:01 Musictrade
