A Ray Array Side A by Lucky Dragons

Half of a curious soundtrack, Side A of A Ray Array flows evenly from the sound of a flute looping over itself through noises of cellular interference with your stereo, to quiet moments and loud synthesized swells.

Free Range by The Engines

Free Range is over fifteen minutes of sometimes cacophonous, sometimes quiet music that circles satisfyingly around a recurring theme.

Kick Start by Worldly Self Assurance

Kick Start was a modest start for the eventual 2008 Nur Ein winners.

Softcore by Daniel Bautista

Like so much of Bautista's work, Softcore is instrumental rock with a flair for the epic.

Kinda Like A Big Deal by Clipse featuring Kanye West

I find the sentiment a bit distasteful, but Kinda Like A Big Deal has such a hot beat and such tight rapping that it's probably right.

Dusk And Dawn by Uncle Owen Aunt Beru

If you don't appreciate a lo-fidelity cacophony, I suggest looking elsewhere today. Dusk and Dawn is a curious mess of found sound, poorly recorded instruments, and echoing singing.

I like my noise in vorbis

19 by Lights At Sea

19 starts slow and quiet and builds up to a roar.

The Run Suite, Houston by The 3.5.7 Ensemble

The Run Suite, Houston is a playful stretch of jazz, with bursts of cacophony, runs of tight melody, sudden stops, and short outbursts.

Reunion by The John Benjamin Band

The string swell near the end of Reunion makes the song extra lovely.

Sooner Or Later by Geert Veneklaas

There seems to be no end of excellent takes on Trifonic's Sooner or Later. Geert Veneklaas's is soft, slow, muted.

Marshmellow Yellow by Peaking Lights, remixed by Main Attractionz

Main Attrakionz mashes up Amazing and Wonderful with Marshmellow Yellow deftly into an impressive piece of electro hip hop.

Perpetual Motion pushes electronic raps at an unrelenting fast pace.

Capital Greed by Nine Inch Nails, remixed by Halo 33

Halo 33 takes one of the poppiest tracks on Year Zero and emphasizes its creepier side with Capital Greed.

Model Home (Feel The Good Life remix) by Brad Sucks, remixed by Dotjot

Dotjot's Model Home has a pounding beat to help you feel the good life.

Reggae Magic by Grant Phabao and Diesler

Grant Phabao adds a bit of Reggae Magic to Diesler's warm rhythms for a head nodding good tune.

Ready For The World by How To Dress Well, remixed by Twin Sister

Twin Sister provides a quiet ambient take on Ready for the World.

Yolo by Podington Bear

Yolo, appropriately enough, carries on in an interesting manner and then abruptly stops.

My Only Offer by Mates Of State

My Only Offer today is this sweet little pop song.

Get Out Get Out Get Out by Jason Molina

A soft stomp for a beat, a few spare guitar strums, and a voice calling into an empty hall. Get Out Get Out Get Out is minimalist perfection.

Beat Me Up by Nobody, Et Al

Nobody, et al's shot at the Beat Me Up Song Fight ends with the fading thought, "When the darkness comes the shame might just roll away."

Polybreak by FUR

Gorilla vs. Bear calls Polybreak a "warped, skittering, retro-futuristic funk jam".

Fractured Skies by Parts And Labor

The rapid drums immediately draws me in to Fractured Skies. Fortunately the rest of the scattered noises keep the energy going.

Far Nearer by Jamie XX

Here's Aurgasm's full description of Far Nearer:

An idiophone is any musical instrument which creates sound primarily by way of the instrument’s vibrating, without the use of strings or membranes. Steel drums, or more appropriately known as steel pans, are mallet-struck toned ideophones and seemingly fit extremely well in the post-dubstep world of “future garage”, “wonky” or essentially 2011′s evolution of 2-step. Balanced very well against the gravity percussion, unintelligible vocals and a sweet and salacious bassline provide a warm bed. My recommendation: listen but turn it up and drop in at 3:45. Sublime.

Ottoman by State Shirt

The dynamic rock and blistering ending of Ottoman makes for the sort of song you don't kick your feet up and relax to.

La Luna by Atlas Sound

Chopped and faded vocals and intriguing instrumentation make La Luna a sweet dreamy piece.

Fragments Of The Future by Grimes

This subtle, echoing dark ambient track leads off a mix tape by the same name: Fragments of the Future.

I Am A Frequency by Havergal

I am a Frequency is a ponderous, surreal tune.

GastricJuiceandFalafel by That Crooner From Nowhere

GastricJuiceandFalafel starts off with quick finger snaps and beat boxing and slows as That Crooner's vocals take new, stranger shapes.

As usual, I recommend vorbis. https://archive.org/download/jamendo-031825/12.mp3
