Yesterday I received an email from Anton Kaldal. (he's one of the artists fatured on my iceland compilaion), pointing to some other interesting reources of icelandic music:

www.tonik.tk :: my site ... mp3s (take a look at 'Yogapopp' for example) and info about me, gigs and my homemade releases...

www.rokk.is :: the largest site containing unsigned icelandic music

www.jon.is :: another large site, (click on the mp3 menu button)

www.icelandairwaves.com :: list of the bands/artist who played at iceland airwaves 2003 (bios in english and often mp3s)

www.musik.is :: artists and bands, some links outdated.

www.mp3.is :: this is a new one, similar to rokk.is

www.tonlist.is , www.tonlist.com :: more commercial site.

Sounds from Iceland is my second compilation.

The compilation is entirely devoted to artits from iceland. You won't find the global players Björk and Sigur Ros on it, because I think everyone allready knows those artists. If not, use the search function of my weblog to find plenty mp3 files from both.

Most of those groups are entirely unknown. At least unknown to me but maybe well known in iceland.

The compilation contains a wide range ofl styles, from rock to pop and electronica. All tracks were found on the homepage of Bad Taste. At the time I was downloading all the mp3 files, the nice people of bad taste were offering more than 70 files (~230MB). Most of the artists are offering more than one track, but my plan was to have as many artists on the compilation as possible.

The cover is also availible as a Microsoft word file, so if you don't like my selection, you can easily change the cover.

Enjoy... and drop a line to let me know how you liked my selection.
