It?s heading to complete its third year already, so if this is the first time you hear about the Drone Download Project, you?ve already missed quite a few free ambient-drone download opportunities. You missed 80 tracks of the first two years, to be precise. But don’t worry: the third year (including a Year 2 Megamix) can still be downloaded.
As you?d probably expected by now, all material is of the minimalist drone kind, some even quite extreme.
New tracks are available online for a limited time only, so you have to keep an eye on the site, but Stephen sends out notifications to you if you want.
If you?re into this kind of music (and can spend some money on it), I can heartily advise ordering the first two years on convenient MP3 CD format. Listening to all tracks until now takes op 21+ full hours…
The DDP – as it is sometimes referred to – was started by Stephen Philips, and boasts some famous names. And some more less famous names too. There?s a lot of material by Stephen Philips himself, some other names you may already have heard before are Sundummy, Brannan Lane, Esa Ruoho, Austere, Igneous Flame, Jeff Greinke. To name just a few.
All material is created for this occasion especially, and most of it is not available in any other format.
Support Strongly Recommended!
Check it out, fresh from the presses!! Finally after making his debut on the DDP from Stephen Philips with several great tracks as Barren Wasteland, Dreams Of The abbys and Wandering in Forgotten Rain, Perimeter now releases his first full album called Beyond The Perimeter. And man, does he go beyond his own boundries! He manages to make you wanna listen to it again and again. He’s got a fan in me. So check out the samples and if it does to you what it does to me I’m sure you’ll go and get it and listen to it for many many years. This is probably going to be one of the best releases of 2009 in this scene. Check it out and enjoy!!
