a few net releases

Esem - Scateren
http://www.kahvi.org/94.php
If you dig Bola's album "Soup" you'll dig this... It's melodic IDM, safe listening, but it's not bad. It's all in ogg vorbis, which turned out to be a minor headache, but it all worked out for the best.
ZIP file
Hal McGee - Live At Action Research 8
http://www.halmcgee.com/
This guy was a tape trading contact of mine back in the day. This recording is a live blast of thick, dense, everchanging, interesting noise made on analogue synths. It's only about 10 minutes long, and it's pretty cool. And pretty abrasive, in a good head-clearing way.
320 kbps mp3
Sega Death - 16 Bits From Hell
http://community.livejournal.com/experimentals/343332.html
These guys found a way to fuck up the sound on a Sega Genesis by removing the game cartridges at certain times and replacing them with other ones. Proto circuit-bending, but not. Read the description the guys wrote on that LJ post I linked to for more info... there's also a YouTube clip. I like this. Like the Hal McGee, this is also quite noisy and abstract, but also occasionally musical and also ambient. A quite complex and colorful thing, this.
