Here's number eleven: asynchronic from aboombong

http://aboombong.bandcamp.com/album/asynchronic

afro-ambient noise, meditative minimalism, out-drones

Selva de Mar's olas invisibles also become in one of my favorites releases of 2009.

Visit my blog in FMA for more good, legal and free releases.

Thanks for introductions to some I'd missed. Man, you have me rethinking my 2009 top 10. The FMA is simply too bountiful to choose just 10, isn't it? And aren't we all so fortunate for it?

Thank you to the artists, WFMU, the Free Music Archive, the curators, and the participating listening community. What a fantastic project!

Hey Katya, in the end, I've found it's impossible to choose just 10. I mean, you know the unending treasures of the Internet better than I do!

This is a great mix by the way! http://freemusicarchive.org/member/katya-oddio/katya-oddios_Mix_07092009
