Hi Mike,
How do you get to listen to so much? Do you use an online music service like eMusic, iTunes?
I got curious here about two of the albums you posted.
Controlled Bleeding – Inanation (I think I heard the name of this band before)
Rabotnik – Rabotnik (odd name pick for a Brazilian band, sounds intriguing).
I’ll check both out.
Thanks for the tips
Assaf,
I do use eMusic, which has a great selection at pretty reasonable prices. Also, there’s some pretty good stuff online that is free, such as on http://www.archive.org.
Controlled Bleeding is somewhere in the electroacoustic / dark ambient vein with some electronica mixed in. I don’t think they are the best example of any of the above but they have some pretty good material. Rabotnik is available for free download.
