Electronica - free, bonobo
Actually, there is nothing that sounds like house music on this compilation.
Having said that, there isn't much that sounds like classic Ninja Tune either.
But, hey, it's a free download, so I'm not complaining.
The three good tracks on here are :
Offshore - Round And Round
Amon Tobin - Shut Down
Antipop Consortium - Volcano (Four Tet Remix) Ninja Tune XX - Free Music Compilation [Amazon MP3 Exclusive]
I downloaded the tracks as they were offered as 'free sample' by Amazon and as they were recommended to me on the basis, I must presume, of my prior purchases: the latter was way off, as this kind of music I don't really dig much.
Too much on the 'house' side of things, with lots of repetitive beats and not much variety.
Not saying they are not good in their genre, perhaps they are, I just don't like them.
If you, like me, enjoy downtempo, electronic and ambient music, and get this track recommended by Amazon, I suggest you save your money/bandwidth.
I really can't believe that no one has peeped this stellar assembly of world artistes yet,say wha'? Like def jam/motown/zzt/sst/sub pop/laff records/etc.,etc.,etc.,the boutique label is a get,just like all of the other aforementioned monolithic imprints.
The only reason that I'm not getting it myself is because my ibook g4 is stewed to the gills,OK(but as soon as it's all in the clear,it's on,ya dig)?! - Free - Four Tet - Electronica - Bonobo'
