hi all,
two finnish-related and quite wonderful freely downloadable recommendations
for you guys:
firstly, the Assembly demo-party was held in Helsinki a coupla
days ago, and a number of really smart things were released.
[quick explanation - demos are multimedia things you watch on
your PC. they look cool. they don't do anything else. they're
just slabs of cool design+art+music.. used to make a lot more
sense when they were the best technical demo you could see on
your computer, but they still rule..]
i haven't had a chance to check out much else, but the infamous
demo-collective Orange made a comeback with their original classic
line-up (Hoplite/Der Piipo/Dune). Anyhow, their demo, "The Non-Stop
Ibiza Experience", is pretty much amazing - great style, effects,
and a great idm-ish soundtrack cutting up lots of hiphop in a
Funkstorung or Kid606-ish stylee. Soundtrack's by Dune, btw, Dune =
BrothomStates, who's been getting some good press round here and
has been on some compilations recently..
so, download at:
http://www.katastro.fi/~nemo/ibiza/ibiza_fixed.zip
..it's about 5meg, i think, and it's unaccelerated but you'll
need quite a fast pc (128meg of memory recommended, Pentium 3..)
this is cos all the effects are real-time, of course.. i note
the soundtrack is a Winamp-playable .XM, so you can grab it from
the archive anyhow..

secondly, the net.label Milk is one of my personal favorites of
anyone releasing music online right now. Check out all their music,
if you haven't, at:
http://milk.sgic.fi
..and more importantly, right now, they have a new release from
Fun Tourist which simply _kicks_ - massively echoing drill+bass
idm action which reminds me a bit of Animals On Wheels or our
friend Mr.Jenkinson, and I adore. According to Distance, Fun Tourist
played a really great live set at the Finnish festival Koneisto
which just happened, too..
anyhow, direct link:
http://milk.sgic.fi/musa/MILK0083.ZIP
It's 7 meg - check out the webpage too tho :)
ok, later,
h0l
