Run – Music for the Long Distance Jogger is a compilation of 12 tracks by 12 artists at a speed of 145 BPM. The thing I love about this comp is that each track blends and is mixed well into the next track – cheers to nonfinite for making this flow so well, for organising the comp and for hosting the comp for now. My track on here is ‘The Merchant’, but the mix is slightly different than the one found on my release ‘Error Repeat‘.

A great idea (I was thinking of a aerobics comp myself back in the netlabel days..), with tracks by little-scale, tristendo, ZZZV and more… good stuff!

zan-zan-zawa-veia mole soul ep

By Peter Swimm, on April 13th, 2009

Long awaited release from zan-zan-zawa-veia for fans of the uneasy listening progressive chip maximization. II writes:

This cream of nine month’s work is a set of curious songs sung by a neglected NES, buried alongside the sounds of dinosaurs – progressive rock, the earliest game soundtracks, cabaret and other such styles left to hibernate. All six pieces avoid the immediate and mechanical, instead delving naturally into exploration.

01 Silk Webs

02 Look Away

03 Clan Duat

04 Cats Play

05 Kheimoni

06 Snow Hare

Time to Get Obscure Comp

By Peter Swimm, on January 20th, 2009

I was planning a similar cover for my Lydian Mode Only comp.

Another “high concept” comp from the gents at 8BC, this time focusing on non4/4 time signatures. More info:

Download Here (34.7 MB)

Took 2 days and 1.5 hours longer than I wanted, but it’s here! A big thanks to everyone who participated!!

All of these tracks are either in time signatures that are not commonly used or use commonly used time signatures layered with others. An interesting thing to do when most trackers try to force you into straight 4/4. ^_^

Lots of cool artists on this, so worth a checkout.

Run!
