Hahah, Mike, you got spammed, huh? No disrespect, just had to chuckle at the labels sending replies to your original post as well as the "of course that was going to happen" realization that you posted. I might not have seen that coming immediately either, lol. In any case, hope this thread is still relevant. Lots of places to check for new music... MIT has a radio station, and in particular a program called darkbot radio. I haven't checked it out yet, but the playlist archive listed some nice selections and the dj is a robot. I think its possible to listen online. You might also check out micromusic.net if you like chiptunes. A few "NEW?" artists that I highly recommend and that might lead to discovering some others are: Squarepusher, Autechre (check out "Gantz Graf" vid on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atjByPSKTRA ) , Aphex Twin/AFX - I especially like the newish "Analord" stuff, which you can get some of in CD format in a comp. called "Chosen Lords" ( check out the "Monkey Drummer" vid. if you've not seen it! ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZGIrNf71Q ) ,Boards of Canada - (I think the newest is "Campfire Headphase"... they release on Warp nowadays, but there is stuff like "High Scores" which was released on Skam I think, and some stuff released on their own label, music70, back in the day), Ceephax - "Exidy Tours" is a great record (he has a nice free download of "prelude in 303 major" (which incidentally is not on Exidy Tours) among other tracks, on his site http://www.ceephax.co.uk/Music.htm ) , 8 bit Construction Set - "For Djs and Enthusiasts", which was a Guiness Book "First use of a vinyl record for software distribution" (check out the free mp3's for "dollars" and "saucemaster" on the Beige records website http://www.beigerecords.com/products/beg-004.html and note the excellent "record player tone arm over 5 1/4 inch floppy" cover design (also check out the you tube vid for "dollars" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi5LZIw_LQU and the main Beige page at http://www.beigerecords.com/ )), Venetian Snares - newest is "Pink and Green", Bibio -fi (recommended by BOC member), Casino VS. Japan - whole numbers play the basics, Mouse on Mars - "niun niggung" is still my fav., Microstoria, Luke Vibert - "Kerrier District 2" (The LP set he did as Amen Andrews is also excellent), Jack Dejohnette is still releasing new stuff, he was one of the drummers on Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" and has done a lot of other interesting records with various artists, Warp records did a concert with the London Sinfonietta which was recorded and has some Aphex prepared piano pieces. If you want to check out some highly proficient practitioners of poly-rhythmic "metal" (I guess you could say), then I highly recommend Meshuggah. Nice permutation. Its one of the only things I listen to that actually has a vocalist and words, though I wouldn't call it "singing". Once through the record is usually enough to last me for a minute, but every once in a while it definitely gets played... Super funky like James brown in my opinion. I think some of my friends frequent "Boomkat" and other distribution sites like "Forced Exposure" on the net to find new music. You might check the Warp records website as well. And of course Richard D. James' label Rephlex. I think he released an LP set of a program that the BBC did of Classical electronic music back in the day (which I unfortunately did not get), so that type of thing would be something to look out for, in addition to his own releases of course, which are unfailing. A lot of my favorite stuff is older. I'm always finding music that is new to me. Morton Subotnicks "Wild Bull" is fantastic - it could have been done yesterday, Frank Zappa "live in New York" (The Black Page!), John Cage - esp. his prepared piano music, anything performed by Glenn Gould (esp. bach), Old Herbie Hancock, BIll Evans, or Oscar Peterson (w/ Ed Thigpen and Ray Brown "we get requests" if you're only going to get one), as well as the trio music that Chick Corea did with Roy Haynes and Miroslav Vitous, esp. "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs". I also love ancient composers like Duke Ellington ("Masterpieces By Ellington" is my Favorite) Erik Satie (including his "furniture music") and Maurice Ravel. In general, when I find a record or artist I like, I check to see who was responsible for the music... everybody in the chain from artist to distribution... and then find out what other projects those people have worked on and check that out. I've bought some records by people I've never heard of just based on knowing that the person responsible for pressing the vinyl was good. University Sites like Stanford CCRMA and University of Washington DXARTS might also lead to some hits. OK, Hope you didn't already know at least some of that. I obviously think way too much about this stuff and prob. shouldn't have gone batshit crazy with it like I did, so sorry if the length or content annoys. It was refreshing for me to geek out on it for a minute actually, since my only contact for the last couple days has been with professional industrial control and data acquisition software engineers, which is great, but mostly not musically so. So... hope it mentioned some new names and provided some insight into how I find new music! Have to write other "for credit" reports now, and besides, I should probably be writing in Csound, so I gotta go. really. I have to go now. Get up Keith. Anyway, Best of luck in your search, and please post if you find anything interesting, or have some favorite old or new records you'd like to recommend. Sounds like you are in the NY area. Lots of my friends from a jazz program at the University of North Texas live there these days. I'd love to visit NY sometime. Lots of music.
