Now let’s get some shake in the step because it’s time for some jazz funk! From the album “Tetris Spirit“, here is a funky track from this quartet’s special performance with DJ Donvan Lagerfield. if you want to hear how the turntablist sounds with the jazz band, you should go grab their whole album!
Get your toes tappin’ with “Neutron Star” from Blue Canoe Records. This feels a lot like a track off of the Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack, if that is any indication of how much I like it.
It’s jazz week here on Sounds of the Commons! We’re gonna kick it off with this bar-lounge track by Dazie Mae! You can download the whole album, “Seasonal Affective Disorder” on Jamendo!
“Tyrannical”, the titular track from the EP of the same name, is the result of five years of solo work from its creator, Sonorant. I love the layering in this song. It’s such a good example of how complex heavy metal can get, without getting into the insane multi-guitar shred-fests of other sub-genres.
I can’t say much about this band other than that they, at one point, existed. I can’t find really any info about them other than they but out three albums in 2010 and this track is from their second album “Happy Everyone”, which you can download on Jamendo.
Ah, bossanova. You can just lose yourself to the rhythms and almost feel yourself in the tropical sands of… Sweden? Yeah, Sweden. This is one of the great things about Creative Commons. You can take vocals from one place, add in music from another, and end up with something completely new.
Released in 2007, this song is part of an album that was put together using samples from CCMixter’s Curve Music contest and original music.
This track is pretty heavily produced for an “acoustic version”, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less good. From Sean’s 2008 release of his album “Oh My”, Broken stereo is an easy listen. A good song for a highlights reel of a couple slowly building a relationship on a sunset lit Santa Monica Pier.
What? I got my degree in Cinema. This is, literally, how I think about most things.
Hot off the presses, this track was published just this past Monday and, I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what I think of it. I mean, I like it, but I don’t know why. It kinda reminds me of some of Yoko Kanno’s work on Ghost in the Shell, but I can’t quite place why. Sometimes the best gift you can give someone is a question, so I’ll leave this one to you folks.
Near as I can tell, this is the only track MrPontusBogren has ever uploaded to the CC sound space, but it’s a good one. Released nearly a year ago, “Sisters & Brothers” is a simple but good dance track. My recommended pairing: When driving at night on a freeway with lots of lit tunnels.
