Recent purchases, downloads, etc.

[Leon]

Thought I'd ressurect this thread as I have made some interesting purchases lately.

As I'm pretty much into IDM-ish music lately, here's what I got:

Secret Frequency Crew - Forest Of The Echo Downs (discogs link)

Some nice beats going on, clean production and enough interesting melodies and soundscapes to make this above average.

Sensiva - Giosun (discogs link)

I'd say this is quite Boards Of Canada inspired, but it's really interesting. I have yet to figure out the melodies, as it's quite abstract and there's more of an overall "vibe" or "feel" to it. Good for background.

Datassette - Datassette (discogs link)

I haven't found information on this release anywhere, other than that you can buy it from Beatport.com. I got to know about Datassette via Dirtyradio, who played the beautiful "Elephant" from the sampler CD "Quality Electronic Music" by Ai Records. Then I found some mp3's available for free, which you can download here and here. Especially "Computers" is a fun track. Datassette's style is between electro and IDM, don't know how else I would describe it.

Anyway, that's about it.
