symbiosis sound environments vol 1

Net Labels are cool, but its still hard to beat a good old fashioned CD. One of my friends has recently put out a joint CD release with a couple of other musicians, so here's a plug for it:

Symbiosis Sound Environments Vol 1

Tracklisting:

01 - The New World - Dr Z
02 - Prosumer - Mulefa
03 - Zamami - Somacoma
04 - Entropy - A Million Little Lies
05 - Hug Your Joy - Somacoma (bonus track)

The Dr Z track is worth the price alone - its an impeccably-produced chilled out rhodes and flute workout over a backing of smooth bass and dreamy delay synths. The Mulefa and Somacoma tracks are old-school analog-based electronica, and the track by A Million Little Lies is a multi-layered downbeat affair with wailing guitars drifting past in the background.

You can hear samples over at the myspace page. There is a 12 inch available from ifmusic and the CD (with cool artwork on 100% recycled packaging) can be found in independent music stores in London and probably other places too. Also, MP3 downloads are available from TuneTribe.
