Triceracorn

So after my last post, I was browsing around looking for new music and I came across a new project by IG88 and Beige. As you may know, IG88 has contributed tracks to the IDMf compilation albums and has an album, Mutual Mastication, available for free download. 

I really don't know anything about Beige, except that from this record his flows are smooth, strong, and effective. I'm curious to see what else he's done. 

So give it a listen and see what you think.

Various Artists: Concord


Another great compilation by the idmf netlabel. This time the series takes an ambient approach, focusing on synth sounds and pads and downtempo beats. A good album to listen to when needing to relax or take a break. Or, some might see this as the perfect album to listen to while trying to knock things off their to-do lists.

Various Artists: Mind Tree


Another great compilation album from the idmf netlabel. This time, the songs are more IDM oriented but still cohesive and accessible. This album is intended to show off the artists who have contributed to the forums or have taken some part in it and serves as a reflection of these artists' skills as musicians. 


While some songs do contain a groove and melody, the emphasis is on emotion, and the compilation evicts a range from happiness to sadness and melancholy but all the while keeping the attention of the listener. 


Definitely worth a listen.
