Ancient Astronauts - Into Bass And Time

Ancient Astros always coming thru correct...this should be another banger...check out the album snippet below and the free track for download

Combining members Kabanjak’s love of blues with Dogu’s passion for 90′s hip hop funk, ‘Into Bass and Time’ is a kaleidoscopic journey from old-school to modern. Enlisting the talents of a variety of heavy hitting MCs and vocalists, this new album demonstrates a quintessential progression from their debut.‘Into Bass and Time’ sees the Astronauts take their vintage-meets-future block party aesthetic and blast off to new frontiers. Already having remixed and collaborated with the likes of Fort Knox Five, Ladybug Mecca of Digable Planets, Zion I, Imani and Bootie Brown of The Pharcyde, and Tippa Irie to name a few, the Ancient Astronauts have linked up with a variety of new sonic collaborators for their eclectic sophomore album. Entropik adds lush strings while DJ Brace cuts it up with vinyl acrobatics. Akua Naru and Phat Old Mamas lend a haunting feminine vocal edge while MC’s Azeem, Raashan Ahmad, and Monsoon drop sonic bombs on the m-i-c. From hard driving hip-hop, to funky breakbeat, to righteous dancehall reggae, to late night smokers’ trip-hop, ‘Into Bass and Time’ is a sonic rocket ship ride not to be missed!

Gorillaz - The Fall (Free Album)

It's only a 18 second teaser, but hey at least they are giving away a free album...don't forget to download the new Gorillaz album--recorded on an iPAD--available on X-mas day.

The music was recorded during spare time while on the road. "I did it because there's a lot of time that you just spend staring at walls essentially. And it was a fantastic way of doing it" says Damon Albarn. "I found working in the day, whether it's in the hotel or in the venue, it was a brilliant way of keeping myself well." Adding that the collection is "..like a diary, I literally wrote everything on the day in each place and there's a strange sort of sound of America and its musical traditions that comes through. It feels like a journey through America."

The 15 track sonic journal, titled The Fall, produced by Gorillaz and Stephen Sedgwick, will be available to download for free by Sub Division fan club members on Christmas Day and will also be streamed on Gorillaz.com from Christmas Day.
