mp3 Frenzy #2
Hurricane season down in New Orleans (and I’m not talking about the famous Hurricane drink!) What to do when tropical storm Arlene or Balkenende is tearing down the roof and flooding the area? Well, enjoy some music while you’re evacuating up North of course! Here are 5 new downloads for your playlist. This time you can download tracks by Soon, The Sedan Vault, Circle, Lamb and Mogwai.
These are all legal, downloadable mp3′s. Over time, the links can become unavailable.
Soon – Everything’s Ruined:
We still have to wait for quite a few months before this Flemish trio will release their second full-length album, but in a few months we will all say the album will hit the shelves – and our CD-players – soon enough. (website)
Label: Funtime Records
Album: A Million To One (Estimated release in Sep ’05)
The Sedan Vault – Age Of Aquarius:
Although the title of this song seems to prove differently, don’t expect some hippie song, but an emo-to-unclassifiable crossover styled track from another Flemish band. Think a melodic The Mars Volta. I can’t wait ’till they will finally release their debut album… one day. (website)
Label: Funtime Records
Album: upcoming album fall 2005
Circle – Con Art:
I don’t know what these guys are up to at this moment since Circle remains in radio silence since 2004. But it is never too late to load one of their tracks on your iPod, crank up the volume, raise your fists and stamp around — like you should be doing at least once a day to instantly release some stress. Don’t forget to wear your überpunky wristbands to make you look cool when you play along on your fictitious guitar. And do send in the pictures so we can laught at you.(website)
Label: Reflections
Album: Vaudeville
Lamb – Ha Ha Ha:
And now two brainwave soothing tracks after all the emo and punk violence! Starting with a rare track, especially posted for all the people who missed the tear jerking last gig by UK’s Lamb in Paradiso, Amsterdam. Just sit back, listen to Lou’s enchanting voice and Andy’s trippin’ beats, and relax. (Lamb | Gorecki)
Label: currently none
Album: Softly (single) before it was withdrawn from release
Mogwai – Sad DC:
This track from British musically enlightened philosophers has only been released in Nihon (日本) as the Japanese call their own country in contemporary speech. However, Mogwai is a Chinese word (魔怪) meaning something like “ghost”, “evil spirit”, or “demon”. I don’t know why I’m giving linguistics 101, but I do know that “ghostly” would be a nice way to describe Mogwai’s music. (website)
Label: Rockaction Records
Album: Happy Songs for Happy People (Japanese edition)
