- Richard Thomas — 4 new (old) songs!
-
- Hi friends, I've recently added four new songs to my page, relatively old for me but new for this site: Two more or less spontaneous instrumental improvisations (category: humor) and two songs, 'Bushmensong' and 'Mystery to Me'. The latter being based on an improvisation of words, guitar and Groove Agent. The lyrics seemed meaningless at first but in retrospect they reveal some meaning, at least to me. Song art will follow… I hope you like them. read more...
- Mindmovie — New song added: Theme for An Imaginary Mindmovie
-
- This will be the opening title of my upcoming first solo album. If you find some time please take a listen and if you want to feel free to leave me a comment. Audio quality is below my normal standard as the song is 8 minutes long I had to go down with the bitrate to 160kb. Anyway I hope you may enjoy. read more...

- Mindmovie — New Song added - House Of Love
-

Although This side is now soooo painfully slow that it is no longer a real funny thing to upload something - here is a new song. Welcome to any visitor who wants to leave a comment about the music. This title features Sara England on vocals - she as well as myself have discovered what it means when you a re trying to build a "house of love" with the wrong person. That's what this song is about.

- synthetic1 — R.I.P.OUIM.net
-
- I was saddened yesterday to discover that a real nice net label that I have released 2 albums on seems to be calling it quits. The label is OUIM they were founded in Bulgaria in 2005 and have consistently offered some very fine electronica from all over the world. The quality is high on every release I have heard from composition to presentation of the final product, with very nice looking cover art and high bit-rate downloads. The label hasn't offered a new release since my early January offering called "Winter EP" and the site says we are closed, sorry. Fortunately all their fine music is still available there to download for free, and I strongly recommend the works highly. For killer modern hard stuff try Death On Glamours LP, and for the most atmospheric ambient check out any of Observation Point's releases. I can only hope, that continued support may bring this fine label back from closure. In the meantime, if someone can recommend a similar net label, I need a new home for my free albums. read more...

The Swiss label 20kbps rec. is celebrating the Holidays with approximately 20 new releases for your listening pleasure. I am pleased to announce that one of those albums is by me. Look for "Winter" by Synthetic if you'd like to hear some mind-numbingly chill Winter music. 2 Selections are Dance numbers while the other 2 are very ambient soundscapes. The bitrate is higher than I used to use, so definitely easier on the ears. A 256-320 kbps version will be available in a week or two at OUIM.net. In the meantime that hi bitrate version can be obtained at MegaUpload. At MegaUpload Just enter the 3 letter code then select download, wait 30 seconds and select free download.
Happy New Years!

- Gardeners — about a felicitous evening

Last saturday, after about one year we had our comeback on stage at the splendid awesome SUMMERBREAK OPEN-AIR at Rosstal. And it was HOT! (more or less (= )
All participants did a great job, most notably that it was exclusively organized by the youth of the "Roschtler Kulturzelt". Big plaudid therefor! Also all the other bands were great, but the visitors that borne at really icy temperatures (up to 1000 people !) eclipsed all! Very very big thanks to all of you cold-resistants!
Your higly glad gardeners!
PS: Also big thanks to all that voted yet for our songs! Very soon "Your Dream" will take part in the "RealWorld"-Competition, too, so have a look in a few weeks=)
PPS: You can now find us at myspace where you can hear some more of our songs. Our link is myspace.com/gardenersband.
Of course the site is not ready yet. Give us some time to finish it!

I mentioned the swiss label 20kbps rec. in my post regarding the Colorsmoke EP. Now I felt it was time to show some of my favorite tracks from that dynamic, underground label. I have made a mega mix consisting of some of my very favorite works that are available for free on this label. Some of the tracks here are at a lower bitrate than the original, so some songs will sound better downloaded directly from the label. There is just something very other worldly about these delicious lo-bit pieces. The label has a wide variety of artists from all over the world. It is the most independent and diverse label I have ever stumbled on to, and constantly surprises me. The music is available for free, and the label owner was ok with me posting this megamix.
The mix is one long track the individual song credits are:
01 - Olga & Fritz - Track 1 (Mio Star EP)
02 - Agent Orange - Micrology
03 - Copyright Killer - In Misery We End
04 - Deemage - Coriander
05 - Is....Dead - Chemical Scent Imprint
06 - Agent FF6600 - Heizung An
07 - Old Oldman - Noss
08 - Pimuri - Kitchenbeat
09 - JKP - Vivaldi's La Primavera Excerpt
10 - Vivcaro - Erna
11 - Maiden China - How To Be Reflected In A Puddle Full Of Dirt
12 - eVADE - Summer
13 - No Artist - I Retrieve Cereal From High Voltage Systems
14 - Idle Flight - Alaska Beckoned
15 - Death On Glamour - Refresh Yo Mind
16 - Deemage - It Will Never happen
17 - Agent FF6600 - Ninja
18 - Synthetic - Brown Smoke
19 - Mr Dee - Shot #10

21 - Vivcaro - Majong's Garden

After over a year of abstinence - we gathered ourselves and restructured after Alex's death - we will have our comeback on Sept. 15. 2007 at Summer-Break-Festival in Rosstal near Nuremberg.
But now some informations about what we've done the last year:
Sylvie was the past half year in Namibia, but we weren't inertial in this time. We gathered many good (and some less good) ideas and many songmaterial, which we are working out now. Some of them can be heard at Rosstal.
By the way, the recording of "Your Dream" is almost ready, only some Keyboards or another Guitar missing. Until it's ready, it's place will be engaged by the song "I don't care".
Hoping to see you

I just discovered a website, that is sort of a cross between MI7 and MySpace. It is trig.com and I hope you'll visit my page over there.
I still consider MI7 to be more of my home base, since it is almost all music types. But the 250 meg limit at Trig will make that my home away from home for sure. So stop by if you get a chance, or if you are desperately bored, thanks!
