Named after a word in one of Nick Chaplin's dreams -- not from a Siouxsie and the Banshees single -- Slowdive formed in Reading, England, in late 1989. The group orginally consisted of Neil Halstead (guitar/vocals), Rachel Goswell (guitar/vocals), Christian Savill (guitar), Adrian Sell (drums), and Chaplin (bass). Formed when they were mostly in their teens, Slowdive was initially lumped in with the remainder of the early-'90s British shoegaze scene; Slowdive's later releases extended upon the likes of the Cocteau Twins and the more atmospheric sides of post-punk, and they closed out their career with an excellent and misunderstood ambient LP.

The band TV on the Radio creates eclectic music -- a proper reflection of a group with diverse backgrounds and interests. While their sound ranges from doo-wop to distortion, TV on the Radio is increasingly mentioned as an art rock group with wide appeal, following the trail blazed by the Talking Heads.
Two visual artists are at the helm of TV on the Radio, which is based in art-friendly Brooklyn, New York. Tunde Adebimpe, the group's lead vocalist, is also a multimedia artist who specializes in stop-motion animation.
David Andrew Sitek, who mans a variety of equipment and instruments as needed, is a visual artist and music producer for other New York-area groups who have made it big in the past couple of years. Stolen from npr.org
A longtime pillar in the Chicago underground community and architect of the post-rock sound, Sam Prekop first gained notoriety at the helm of Shrimp Boat before becoming the leader of the Sea and Cake, whose fusion of styles both in and out of rock was both creative and experimental while remaining highly listenable. Prekop holds considerable stature in the Chicago scene, so it isn't surprising that when he released his self-titled debut solo LP in 1999 (on Thrill Jockey Records, themselves cornerstones in Chicago's music).

Tortoise revolutionized American indie rock in the mid-'90s by playing down tried-and-true punk and rock & roll influences, emphasizing instead the incorporation of a variety of left-field music genres from the past 20 years, including Krautrock, dub, avant-garde jazz, classical minimalism, ambient and space music, film music, and British electronica.

OOIOO features Yoshimi, one of the most interesting avant-rock artists making music today. Thrust into the spotlight in 2002 when she was made the "theme" of the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, she has responded with her most diverse and interesting work to date with Kila Kila Kila.
Yoshimi began her music career in 1986 playing drums in the band UFO or Die, which also features Eye of the Boredoms. That same year she joined revolutionary noisepop experimentalists Boredoms, in which she still plays drums, trumpet, keyboard and sings. In the early nineties she became the drummer in Kim Gordon's Free Kitten, and released three Yoshimi solo 7" singles on Ecstatic Peace. More info + download ooioo - eine soda
Despite a history spanning well over a decade, Ninja have never released a greatest hits style compilation…until now. Because this month Ninja Tune have released Zen - A Ninja Tune Retrospective. This is certainly a chance to remember some of those lost classics like DJ Food's 'Dark Lady' and the Cornelius Mix of Coldcut's 'Atomic Moog'.
Blockhead 'Carnivores Unite'
Taken from Blockhead's debut album 'Music By Cavelight'. Aesop Rock's former producer stuns us with his beautiful instrumental hip hop. Real Media I Windows Media I Free MP3 I Artwork
cLOUDDEAD 'The Velvet Ant'
Big Dada gives us an exclusive from cLOUDDEAD's second album 'Ten'. Expect razor-sharp vocal interplay, quirky found sound samples, and a fair share of nosdam's growl-slow drums!

DJ Food 'Dark Lady'
Bassline appropriated by Bomb The Bass for their Bug Powder Dust track - check the sleeve credits for a DJ Food thanks. A track that will forever now be associated with smashing the back board of the basket in NBA Street. Ironically not a good Basketball player to be found in the Ninja camp.

DJ Danger Mouse's recent Grey Album, which remixes
Jay-Z's The Black Album and the Beatles White Album, has been hailed as a innovative hip-hop triumph. Despite that and the fact that only 3,000
copies of the album are in circulation, EMI sent cease and desist letters yesterday to Danger Mouse and the handful of stores that were selling the album, demanding that the album be destroyed.
"EMI isn't looking for compensation, they're trying to ban a work of art," said Downhill Battle's Rebecca Laurie.
"Special interests, including the major labels, have turned copyright law into a weapon," said Downhill Battle co-founder Holmes Wilson. "If Danger Mouse had requested permission and offered to pay royalties, EMI still would have said no and the public would never have been able to enjoy this critically acclaimed work. Artists are being forced to break the law to innovate."
The Grey Album has been widely shared on file sharing networks such as Kazaa and Soulseek, and has garnered critical acclaim in Rolling Stone (which called it "the ultimate remix record" and "an ingenious hip-hop record that sounds oddly ahead of its time"), the Boston Globe (which called it the "most creatively captivating" album of the year), and other major news outlets.

Another product of Richard "Aphex Twin" James' Rephlex stable, Chris Jeffs' releases as Cylob and Kinesthesia have numbered among the Cornwall-based imprint's most celebrated recent releases. Not nearly as prolific as his friends and sometime-labelmates James and Mike Paradinas (µ-Ziq), Jeffs has nonetheless amassed an impressive catalog of releases in a relatively short period of time.

I never liked Nirvana, although I was wearing plaid shirts the whole week and looked like the biggest grunge fan when Nirvana were still around.
This is a rare recording of the first ever live show that Nirvana played. It features Aaron Burckhard on drums and offers an interesting setlist. More info and download
One of the biggest downloads ever ! If you're going to download all those sets, you will need ~1,5GB of harddiscspace. Those live sets are most of the performances on Ultrahang Fest.
