Fr ee music d fne by freethinkers.


Well, it was until this lot seem to have banned mp3s - also they've not only blocked them from you, they've blocked them from me. Cheers Fortunecity!  Now I must re-code all the wavs, 'cause I can't download either, and move the site - watch this space for redirections in a month or so. Nothing like running scared from lawsuits from the likes of blandness merchants like Metallica to crush genuine attempts to put something a bit more interesting on the www than  the mindless drivel that people try to pass off as web content.  You'll be able to get the .ra's for a time, but God knows for how long.  Sorry about that, not my fault but it smells of wee.   NB Aug 2001.



Hello people, , this is a site that is aLL about putting out original music, much like the AFD Records and Film Collective ,  tHIS SITE IS not commercial, and we have full permission of the artists involved to put these tracks on the web. Allyou need is an mp3 player to hear this wonderful music. You can get one from Winamp its easy and quick. MP3  gives struggling original artists with no money or commercial leanings a chance to get thier stuff heard.  It needs your support.  More pages full of band bios, photos, and recipies are coming soon. In the meantime you can check out   Desert Sands - Graphic novel/comic with a new angle on the nuclear arms race,     And if you fancy a bit of strange reading, by all means check out The Nestle Bus, a Brian Aldiss type trip through North Africa in search of toaster parts

On with the music - bear in mind that as of Summer 2001, they are trying to stop you from hearing most of these.  New site beckons!
 

Insect with Sinister Dental Work (mp3) Credits: Colin Robinson and Pete Scullion, email [email protected]. A rather fantastic track from Big Block 454. These are the lads playing the Termite Club Festival in Leeds with an improvised gig controlled by wires and gadgets. Thier official Non Ironic website has the details of what they're up to, plus an impressive history, it's at http://www.bigblock454.mcmail.com , and more mp3s of thier music can be had from thier slice of mp3.com


SneeringFace (mp3) Credits: Empty Vessels. Email [email protected]. A rather fantastic track that's got breakbeats, mad organ bits, catchy lyrics and sounds completly new. This is a rare live version kindly donated by the nice people from EmptyVessels Thier website has tons more good stuff to download, plus interesting info.
The Sky Begins at Your Feet (mp3) Credits: Discordia. A great laid back track that is the musial equivalent to bathing in an ice cold and clear mountain stream as the sun comes up. Watch out for some great oscillator action in this track, it's a Valve powered Solartron. Scotlands answer to Silver Apples! Email Malloch at [email protected].
To Be a Robot - remix by The Guy Who Invented Fire (mp3) A stunning remix of this track, originally by the 22 Metre Band. 22 Metre Band are also remixing The Guy Who Invented Fire. Thier webpage can be found at: http://listen.to/guyfire

Magnox   (mp3) New ambient track by 22 metre band, from the album Tracks and Channels, inspired by the nuclear reactor of the same name. The track is about being in the reactor hall of Sizewell 'A'.

 
  • Fly International   (mp3) Credits: Odea 6, (who are Mick Harrison, Donald Ross Skinner (both ex of Prolapse), Paul (Salad) Julie Sims (Tiger) ) A regular supergroup we have here, with a track that bounces along solidly with a bass line that'll blow your socks off, and lyrics that you'll be humming all day. 

    • Love somebody Yes I do   (RealAudio) Credits: The Fighting Cocks. I stuck the rm version on cause it sounds as good as mp3 in this case, a progression for the Fighting Cocks, taking thier hit of last year a bit further, more brilliant craziness from these blokes and lasses coming soon now that they're signed. Nice one.
  • Aftermath   (mp3) Credits: 22 Metre Band. Inspiring and catchy sparse drum and bass from the 22 Metre Band, a development track for the new album (that means that it was done just to try things out) 'collaborations' which will be finished in September. Inspired by the lot of the ordinary soldiers during World War Two, who were fighting for thier country and thier families, not for an ideology. 
  • Dog On The Horizon Cookery Club Returns! Credits (alphabetical) Brown/Crommentuijn-marsh A song for the 21st century about the culture of blame that surrounds the Millenium dome, and large dogs.     Email [email protected].
  • Tom Baker Came Into Town (Real Audio) Credits: The Durham Ox Singers. The true story of how Tom Baker almost went for a drink in Daves pub. The DO's were experimental with attitude - Acapella, formed in a pub, practicing in a pub, and never went to Performing Art School and proud of it. This is the real deal. Totally original new music. 
  • MJH18 Inspired by Leicesters own songwriting legend's love for free form ambient jazz, here is the latest from Lord God Jesus 
  • Mk Ultra Beautiful spoken (computer) word and synth strangeness which is highly informative, from sunny Frisco, which will teach you all about the bizarre experiments which were carried out during early LSD (and just about anything that was in the cupboard at the time) trials in the 60s. The lyrics these blokes have are terrific. Talent coming from the mighty Negativland. The band is Raymond Remains (Mike Anderson and Don Joyce) Writer: Mike Anderson Email: [email protected], and it looks like they want to put stuff out in Europe, which is good news indeed. We'll put a URL up when they have one. 
  • Small Town Pop Star Credits: Lord God Jesus. Dedicated to all those pop stars who got proper jobs because they didnt make it, inspired by the sad tossers who reckon they have. We love you! Sort of. If you disagree with the content, it must be about you. Piss off. 
  • Dynotron *new* 120mph Drum and Bass-Piano synth speedway from South Woodfords favourite sons of Moog, the 22 Metre band.  
  • Another Mans Laundry- the c/w milestone by MJ Hibbett , all words and music by him, look out for the new album, with the Validators, watch this space, we might have a sneak preview .
  • Frisco Disco On the Dancefloor, it doesnt matter if you're black or white, you can get down to the music of Voon, played on a Frisco Disco, a battery powered plastic record player that was made for kids in the 1980s that came with headphones, which is what DJs might use in San Francisco if they are too cool to have a Technics. Credits(alphabetical): Brown, Hibbett and Wilkinson 
  • Face in a Meat Slicer An epic 1.5 minute document predicting the downfall of archaic voting systems worldwide, in favour of the Single Transferrable vote, by the mighty Voon, Credits(alphabetical): Brown, Hibbett and Wilkinson
  • Love Somebody, Yes I Do a highly experimental track from Hungarys finest, The Fighting Cocks Credits: Matyi/Assassin/Pinky, Email: [email protected] . The last time this was a hit, Doris Day was singing it. But then she didn't do it in a ragga stylee. This song comes from The Fighting Cocks debut album, "Come And See- Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" out on AAS in August, AAS 021

    We bypass the MAN by putting new original and misunderstood bands on the web. Record companies are all about money. The little ones dont have any, the big ones wont give you any and the bands usually get a bum deal. We dont get involved with the evils of cash. Capitalism and art dont mix. We get the bands' permission first before we put stuff on. Obviously we have to drug them sometimes and do mind control experiments on them but nothing is done under duress, and our apparatus shows that thie r life signs are normal during thier stay at Soundcentraal towers, even when the brain electrodes are inserted . They seem to enjoy it. Though we had one case of brain death, it turned out to be a Craig David fan so no one noticed afterwards anyway.

    Cheers,
