I keep meaning to write up today\u2019s show notes but instead I\u2019ve got caught up in a discussion with friend of the show, _tlr_<\/a>, about the movie, John Carter<\/a><\/i>. Sorry, _tlr_, I have duties I must attend to!<\/p>\n

Last week I failed to mention how much I\u2019ve been blown away by Tympanik Audio<\/a>\u2018s recent releases from the likes of Access To Arasaka<\/a>, Known Rebel<\/a>, C.Db.Sn<\/a> and Tapage<\/a>. Tympanik Audio always releases great stuff but they\u2019ve really outdone themselves with this recent batch. Tapage in particular has shown a lot of growth and Overgrown<\/a><\/i> is his best album yet. He has some how managed the trick of simultaneously being more restrained in his music and<\/i> complex and<\/i> dramatic.<\/p>\n

Another label that\u2019s batting them out of the park is Record Label Records<\/a>. Record Label Records tends to release music that\u2019s a bit more expierimental and that always runs the risk of falling flat. Record Label Records has always managed to find the good stuff, though, and with the recent releases of their Drinking the Goat\u2019s Blood<\/a><\/i> and the Cremation of Care<\/a><\/i> compilation albums (and wAgAwAgA\u2019s midnight sampler<\/a><\/i> album, which I sadly was unable to play on today\u2019s show) they\u2019ve really brought their A game.<\/p>\n

The Centrifuge<\/a> has also been blowing up. Velapene Screen<\/a> returns from his live appearance on solipsistic NATION<\/b> with a track from his album, What If They Can\u2019t Trust You?<\/a><\/i> Lodsb<\/a> also returns with a fantastic track and Myoptik<\/a> makes his first appearance on the show.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are other labels featured on today\u2019s show but I wanted to focus on those three because each and every one of them has been releasing music so great that I have to pinch myself to convince myself that I\u2019m not hallucinating it. Can music really be this good?!<\/p>\n

A lot of the music heard on today\u2019s show can be downloaded absolutely for free by clicking the links below but why not show your support for the artists by purchasing one or two of their tracks. Maybe one of their albums if you really liked what you heard.<\/p>\n

If you want to support the show, that\u2019s free too. Just tell your friends about the show or give us a rating or review on iTunes<\/a> if you think solipsistic NATION<\/b> is with listening to.<\/p>\n

Let me sweeten the pot: join us again next week when the lads from Magicore<\/a> return with yet another<\/a> mind blowing mix of select tracks from their blog. That reminds me, I need to get back to my conversation with Magicore\u2019s _tlr_ about what a turkey John Carter<\/i> turned out to be.<\/p>\n
