Best finds of 2009
14 jan. 2010, 3h41m par Qyghl
This is not a list of things that came out last year.... more of what I've discovered for myself (with a little help from my friends, of course...). Band names followed by my favorite song song of each respectively. I started coming up with descriptions of each... but that shit was taking forever. Not happening.
So without further ado, in no particular order:
1 - Little People (Eitheror)
Downbeat instrumental hip-hop? (Going to reuse this a lot, get used to the term)
2 - Quantic (
Snakes in the Grass)
Downbeat instrumental hip-hop.
3 - Saltillo (
A Simple Test)
Mostly string-based IDM/Downbeat hybrid.
4 - Subheim (
Howl)
Dark ambient?
5 - Stendeck (
Like Falling Crystals)
Mostly IDM, a tad ambient at times.
6 - My Sleeping Karma (
Ahimsa)
Instrumental neo-psychadelia.
7 - Sleepy Sun (New Age)
Psychadelia with an indie flavor.
8 - Entrance (Valium Blues)
Indescribable. Psychadelic blues/folk hybrid?

Little People

Back when the internet was younger and broadband wasn't widely available (I'm talking 1999/2000), I was downloading music from the likes of Napster on my 56k modem - this was when Napster was good - I had all this music at my fingertips and it was completely free! Granted, it could have taken over half an hour to download one track, but this was still amazing, albeit illegal.
However, there were also legal places to download free music from. One of my favourites to visit was peoplesound.com which encouraged upcoming artists to upload their tracks and build a music profile of their own - kind of like MySpace or PureVolume - and this is where I found an artist called Little People.
I remember downloading the three or four 'instrumental hip-hop' tracks that were available and they resided on my hard drive until I re-discovered them about six years later. Similar artists include DJ Shadow, Blockhead, Koushik and RJD2. …
