3 Smargaid Maerd

I'm very happy to announce the Third of The Dream Diagrams series is now available to the world. Like previous albums in the series this body of work deals with the meeting place of organic melody and quirky electronica: thematically dealing the unknown realms of delicate emotion and lucid dreaming. There is a general progression from loose improvisations to structured dramas. Let's share some links shall we?

MGI unreleased tracks on Virb.com

For it`s more than 10 years long history Moscow Grooves Institute has released 5 albums; the compositions of the group are included into the compilations prepared by well known Western record companies (such as Pork recordings, George V, Les Maquis, Pschent, Petrol records etc.). And still some tracks by MGI have not been released.

Now all the fans of electronic music have an opportunity to get acquainted with these compositions. You can listen to MGI rare and unreleased tracks written in 1994-2005 here:

Both accounts will be updated regularly.

Shit, it's like a room full of silent people who occasionally shout "look at me!" and then vanish again. Is myspace this bad?

heh yeah it can be like this - I think many people join social networking sites expecting to receive attention without giving any! Myspace is a lot worse though :)
Obviously it's down to each individual to have something to say apart from "check out my tunes" - everyone here has joined up to a group about Minimal music, yet there isn't a single comment on this page about it!
So....
I am interested in lots of different music and have very open ears. A real blind spot for me is great minimal electronic stuff - I know nothing about it and know no names...can anyone recommend me something AMAZING? Preferably recommending someone apart from yourself, please...unless you are REALLY GOOD! :)

Do you want something techno-y or beatless or what? Anything at all?

Here's some free stuff I like, as a starter. I'm not sure if any of it's totally amazing, but I can maybe recommend things I do think are awesome (but not free) based on what you like of this (if anything!).

Antiguo Automata Mexicano - co.opt EP - Lovely stuff from Mexican producer Antiguo Automata Mexicano. If you like this his CD from last year, Kraut Slut, is even better.

Drumlake - Aqua Genic - No idea who Drumlake is/are, but the tracks are long, slowly evolving things that remind me of the best minimal stuff from the 70s as well as the more ambient end of techno.

Lufth - Tendenzen EP - 2003 may seem like a lifetime ago to a lot of electronica listeners, but I think this is one of the more interesting / less typical releases from the Thinner net label. Off-kilter loops of jazz piano and so on, with heaps of hiss and crackle. If you want to check out a LOT of minimal techno you can explore this label.

Lomov - Free Port - Lomov is a fairly prolific producer of free-to-download stuff. This is his first release and I find it really enjoyable late-night headphone listening. I think he runs the Stadtgruen net label too. Lots of good things to explore there, split into more ambient or more techno varieties.

Motion - Untitled - Completely different kettle of fish here, Term is the net label of the consistently great 12k records and this is a good EP from one of their roster, UK producer Motion. Beatless, quiet, shifting tones and scuffed background noise... love the weird chords of the last track.
