Apologies to StrangeZero and to early listeners of episode 37….I forgot to include “My Last Minute” as track 9 in this episode. I will be adding this track and reuploading it by 20 December. It’s a great track, and I hope those of you who listened to this episode already will download it again….
“We all make mistakes”….this was one that I want to fix.

Then we get into some serious trip-hop with Organic Despair, whom I found on Jamendo….and a nice, slightly mellower follow up from Suhov, with his track “Clear,” released on Budabeats Records.
Sebteix, another Jamendo artist, changes the mood with some bossa-infused guitar, and then we shift gears again for some hip-hop with an orchestral background, in Crookram’s “A Day in the Life.”
Shifting back again into the purely instrumental and with some very laid-back beats, we follow up with one of my favorite artists, Cardamar, and his track “Final Scenery.” Please check out his label’s website, which features his own music as well as some other great artists, like Xerxes, and some excellent mixes you can listen to, as well.
Then we have a lovely track called “Eros,” from Crackle Creations, followed bySweeping Logic—who I discovered through Last.fm, and finally, Spiral into the Storm, with the title track from his album on Decibel Palace Records, “A Futile Veneer.”
Here’s another track for you from Metricks & Gaiabeat:

aoR aGNi from France leads this episode, with a track you can find on Jamendo.com.
AAC version (iTunes, with photos and links) MP3 version (everyone else)
This episode starts out with an unusual ambient track from aoR aGNi in France. With an undercurrent of an ominous-sounding swarm, it emits upbeat electronic tones and beats while seeming somehow to convey imminent danger at the same time. The track, “Dream Machines II,” is from the EP “Dream Machines,” which you can download from Jamendo.
From there, we settle into a pleasantly dubby track from Germany’s Sunburn in Cyprus, with “Life,” from the album “Feng Shui Rescue,” which you can buy online from iTunes or Amazon.
Next comes a very non-violent sounding, chilled track from Bulgaria’s Violent Public Disorderaz, released on one of my favorite netlabels (Dusted Wax Kingdom). The track is called “Perfect Chill,” and it is…really.
Dipping into the modern classics…and thanks to Ioda Promonet….we’ve got a classic Vienna-styled downtempo track for you with Tosca’s “Busenfreund (dZihan and Kamien dub).” If you don’t know Tosca’s music yet, you should…go check out their releases on iTunes, Amazon, or the wonderful online music shop in Vienna, Soul Seduction…and if you do have their music already, I’m sure you’ll enjoy hearing it on this podcast.

Next, we have an unreleased track from one of my favorite artists, the talented Parov Stelar, who kindly gave me permission to share it with you here. The track is called “Joseph,” and if you enjoy Parov’s music, please get yourself to iTunes, Amazon, or Soul Seduction to buy some of his tracks and give him your support. In addition, check out his label page …Etage Noir Records.
Following that, we have another wonderful track from the mysterious Freifall–who appeared in episode 21–and who I am unable to track down, but who shared some of these tracks online via Starfrosch and other MP3 download sites. This track is called “I do (Ode to Vanessa Mae),” and if any of you know how to contact Freifall, please let me know.
Not to rush you, but you might be tired of reading: the next three tracks are all from artists whom you’ve heard before in these podcasts: Sabsidian (Germany), Sine (Germany), and DJayPee (Malaysia). All great stuff…many thanks to these artists.
And finally, we wrap up with a track from SaReGaMa …who graciously distributes his music online and lets us listen to it via Jamendo or his own blog. Relax and enjoy…
