FAT PLANET : YEAR ONE
compiled 310804

to celebrate one year on air on fbi 94.5fm, i put together some of my favourite free downloads from the past 12 months. underneath the track listing, you'll also find some artwork to download too, so you can burn a little silver disc and file it under 'f' for fat.



1. NO NAME NO FAME buena vista fight club mp3 [CROATIA]
"some great downbeat latin breaks straight out of croatia ... no.1 for ten weeks in croatian radio 101's independent chart"

2. WAYNE & WAX a it dat (dj c it dat) mp3 [US: MASSACHUSETS]
"full of humour ... a smart north american take on the contemporary jamaican sound"

3. CUT COPY going nowhere zipped mp3 [AUSTRALIA]
"straight-up new wave, direct from the 80s, with a side-swerve to take in some daft punk funk"

4. THINK TWICE under the bombs mp3 [FRANCE]
"awesome semi-spoken word vs punk funk track"

5. NEUTRINO syupaman mp3 [JAPAN]
"great downtempo hip-hop ... released on mush - fast becoming the leader in such sounds"

6. THE ASTROGLIDES the man with the golden reverb mp3 [ISRAEL]
"damn fine surf tunes that hark back to a golden era"

7. MC VANEESINHA dance de peteca mp3 [BRAZIL]
"brazilian hip-hop ... sourced from independent sellers - it's music from garages, apparently"

8. 2/5 BZ bugün eve içine kus geldi zipped mp3 [TURKEY]
this replaces the previous 'b-bam' mp3 which is currently unavailable. the downloadable artwork has also been amended to reflect this change

9. LARS HORNTVETH tics mp3 [NORWAY]
"defies regular description, although if my life depended on it i'd go for someone between free jazz, downbeat breaks and electronica"

10. ERIK LEVANDER bermond (bauri remix) mp3 [SWEDEN]
"echoing acoustic loops and a hint of far-off vocals are underlaid with a soft, crunchy rhythm track that is barely there"

11. JUANA MOLINA quien? mp3 [ARGENTINA]
"a more balanced approach between vocal, acoustic guitar and electro atmospherics ... reconcile the music with the fact that juana is also a comedian with one of the most popular TV comedy's show in the spanish speaking world"

12. OUMOU SANGARE nebife mp3 [MALI]
"without doubt my favourite african artist, simply because you're unlikely to find a voice quite like this"

13. ROBERT LIPPOCK i can tell mp3 [GERMANY]
"always a freakin' relief to find something that stands heads and shoulders above everything else ... a stunning piece of folktronica"

14. COCOROSIE by your side mp3 [US: NEW YORK]
"traces of southern blues, jazz, downbeat hip-hop - and all the more remarkable considering this was recorded in paris"
link updated june 2005

15. JAB MICA OCH EL caca biohjelm mp3 [DENMARK]
"cut-up alt.folk string together with some distorted breaks - for lovers of four tet, look no further"

16. SIXTOO feat DAMO SUZUKI storm clouds & silver linings mp3 [CANADA]
"features damo suzuki on vocals, a founding member of krautrock legends, can ... could have easily been taken from an early can recording session"
