Fading Ways: Share Vol. 5

Fading Ways Music's fifth compilation album is available for free download under the creative commons license. The previous four samplers have been a great success for the label and are still available on the Finding Ways Music Store for a symbolic Ł1.00. This one is a nice, clean mixture of British rock, rock'n'roll and punk and has been judged to also be the heaviest thus far.

Tasmin Little: The Naked Violin

Tasmin Little - internationally recognized violinist - invites you to download and listen to works by J.S.Bach, Paul Patterson and Eugčne Ysa˙e. She even recorded voice introductions to all the pieces to help all of us classical music novices understand and enjoy the music.

Harvey Danger: Little by Little

A brief refresher: Harvey Danger formed in Seattle in 1994. Their first record, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?, released on Brooklyn’s tiny Arena Rock Recording Company, became a surprise smash when the song “Flagpole Sitta” became an inescapable summer staple on commercial radio and MTV in 1998.

GTA, GTA2 and Wild Metal

Rockstar Classics offers free downloads of its three timeless titles: Wild Metal, Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto II. All three have been optimized to run smoothly on more current PCs and are meant to give you a “nostalgic trip back in time to the early days of the Rockstar legacy.” Rockstar started collecting name, address and email information from all who want to download the games – just so you know. We think it’s still worth it!

Girl Talk: Feed the Animals

Girl Talk is the stage name of musician/mash-up DJ Gregg Gillis and 'Feed the Animals' is his fourth LP he released on Illegal Art. Gillis is very well known for his inspired mixing style - he uses dozens, if not hundreds of samples from different songs, often without the artists' permission, to create a new composition.

Kanchi: The Ducky Dog

It is a second album by this French DJ. It offers a nicely blended mixture of Breakbeat, Hip Hop & Electronica. Full of energy, with varied tempos and textures, it's perfect to listen to while you work or study. My favorite are 'Nasty boy' and 'Fanboyz' - Enjoy!
