CDM’s resident expert in indie music Atariboy is back with still more selections from the world of indie music. Get those headphones ready. -PK

Here we are again. The third installment of dithered is the new black, albeit,
3 weeks late :P

I like albums. I like the end to end experience instead of just listening
to a bunch of single tracks. So if a blog came along offering a new free album
a day, I’d be all over it. Ooohh [a
link!] *Cris
jumps all over it*

Speaking of jumping, there is nothing like some disco to
get you up. So from
the above blog, I must point out Cuebism’s
Circle EP.
Discofunkcut-upalicious! (and so is the CD cover art)

We welcome back Cris atariboy Pearson, the Melbourne-based musician and plasq developer/artist, for another installment of Dithered is The New Black. He’ll be checking in weekly with great independent music, much of it free, for taking your playlists to new places:

Hey all. Welcome back to the second edition for this new column. Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming.

This first site is not direct suggestion, but a great way to discover lots of
music. It is a communal site that allows you to share and download
playlists
other people have put together. These playlists point to MP3s found for free
all over the Net: Webjay.com

A lot of you probably already know about magnatune.
There is a wealth of great music to be found there. Being addicted to the cello,
I must point you to Claire Fitch’s two albums on magnatune. Ambiencellist 1 & 2 - both great albums to bliss and chill out to. magnatune also offer compilation
albums of each ‘genre’ to give you a selection of their wares.

Now a suggested link I received after last weeks column. Sam at soplerfo.com has
a couple of really nice releases licensed under Creative Commons so check them
out. I know I’ll be listening to these some more. I also spied this link on
his news page to Gamelan
Angklung music. After the jump is 3 tracks by 3 winners of a 1989 contest
by Bali Records. Really great stuff and if you like that, scope out the rest
of that site, lots of great
stuff. Ed: Check out that whole site for all kinds of Asian classical music — the kind you find on cassettes from the region. Great stuff! -PK

Finally, if you want more net music food, check out Mark Teppo’s column, BITFLASHING over
at the ever great, igloomag.

Missed last week’s column? Check out DITNB part I!

G’day, pleased to meet you - This is the first installation of ‘dithered is the new black’, a weekly column about all the great music one can find online - usually for free. I’m atariboy. (Cris Pearson in ‘real life’) I make music (see atariboy.com) and design software
(see plasq.com).

Lets get to it . . . Starting with an all time fave of mine, I found this compilation a couple of years ago and has remained a consistent listener since. Mellow electronic with some
‘indie’ and
‘pop’
thrown in and lots of yummy melodies. Grab Electronikshire at
IUMA. You’ll find more info at the Electronikshire homepage, but the mp3 links are broken so use the IUMA link to download. (Read more)
