Comment:

This is a nice, lovely, mix of slow and mournful tunes. They all move me into these states of calm and contemplation. All of these are from mp3's that I've found online or on my beloved music blog or band sites. I don't use file sharing systems so I'm amazed that I still find full length tracks online for free not on them. Label sites are good about giving you a sample from their albums and the more generous ones like Vice or SpinArt records even have full album streams! There is much free music to be found online and often it's the only way to find rare, live, or out of print tracks. Like these Slowdive ones. Someone has made them available. I never that I'd be able to have a copy of both Avalyns for myself but now I can. The Ulrich Schnauss track is awesome! That was found on the music blog: http://www.3hive.com
Lesson: With the time and effort made online, the entire world of music is open to you. Dig in!
