Smart-Music.net

Some genuine electro goodness can be found at this amazing FREE MP3 site, smart-music.net. [Unfortunately, the link doesn’t take you right to the bands/MP3s. Just scroll down to find them — they’re both on the first page.]

SOLVENT >> “Wish“
MYSTERYMEN >> “Waiting“

These two tracks were mainstays on my iTunes playlist for months. Both bands managed to capture the essence of the 1980s for me, but in a completely ageless manner. These two fine cuts aren’t dated but are best swallowed with a dose of nostalgia. And possibly a Bartles & James wine cooler.

Lest I be accused of shameless stealing others “finds”, fellow free music site 3hive also just re-featured Solvent and got to it before me. (Adding insult to injury, Arjan also beat me to the punch by posting a link to Hard-Fi’s “Cash Machine”, a track which was featured on Fluxblog at the end of July and I’ve been enjoying ever since.) Boy, it just doesn’t pay to horde good material!

Reader Submission : ROBBERS ON HIGH STREET

MO’PGTMFM reader Aaron tipped me off to Robbers On High Street who have made 3 distinctly great MP3s available for FREE at their site. He’s right, “Spanish Teeth” has it in spades! This genre isn’t my forte (but I know what I like when I hear it) so I’m not sure what comparisons are appropriate but I’d go out on a limb and say that if you like Badly Drawn Boy, you’ll probably like ROHS. What would you say, Aaron? How would you classify them??

Freezepop

Gallons of free remixes and a rather extensive discography with some fantastic CD artwork is available at the home site of remixers freezepop under their Music section.

Poor old Molly hasn’t gotten a chance to listen to more than a few of them, what with the impending move and all, but I’ll be sure to spotlight my favorites real soon and add them to the music playlist!
