It is my humble opinion that all netlabel artists ought to have the same goal: namely to promote the stuff in the netlabel underground that they think is really great at the same time as they promote their own stuff.  That way ALL of us benefit, both listeners and producers.  Right?  Right.<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nWith this in mind, I am going to be focusing on each artist (hopefully-this will depend on if they want to participate or not) whom I reviewed in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vuzhmusic.com\/blog\/2010\/12\/19\/best-of-netlabel-releases-2010\/\">the best of 2010 post<\/a>, re-running the review I originally wrote, but I&#8217;m ALSO going to ask each of the artists reviewed to recommend a few completely FREE netlabel albums that THEY have enjoyed recently.<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nPreviously we&#8217;ve had recommendations from:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vuzhmusic.com\/blog\/2011\/01\/06\/best-of-2010-plus-mystified\/\">1.)

Here&#8217;s what I said about his 2010 release:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vuzhmusic.com\/img\/netlabel2010\/automatic.jpg\" width=\"150\"><br \/>\nMiquel Parera Jaques &#8211; nx004_Automatic<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/nx004_Automatic\">http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/nx004_Automatic<\/a><br \/>\nTinnitus drones moving along algorithmic flight paths.  Computer music for hypnotizing organic life forms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8211;<br \/>\nI asked him to provide some listening suggestions, he sent an entire podcast as a reply (download it here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/nx2010-00\">http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/nx2010-00<\/a>)<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><br \/>\nThis year was the first I&#8217;ve heard consistently only creative commons experimental music. As you know I&#8217;ve been doing a selection of the twelve tracks of each month that I really liked. I did the same with the whole year so I have left a selection of thirteen tracks (the extra part of jnn100). Do not add comments for each release because English is not my native language and because I prefer to speak only the sound.<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nPerhaps the small list will serve to your blog (plus):<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/download\/tn021\/cover_kofiq_thumb.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_01\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/tn021\">Scmute &#8211; [tn021] Kofiq<\/a> &#8211; Eora<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vuzhmusic.com\/misc\/blogthumbs\/coeval.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_02\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.con-v.org\/cnv58.html\">Coeval &#8211; [cnv58] Distante 3<\/a> &#8211; Epilogo<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ia700306.us.archive.org\/5\/items\/earman119\/00-thumbnail.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_03\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/earman119\">Jacob Newman &#8211; [earman119] Reflections and Diffusions<\/a> &#8211; Music for Clouds<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ia700303.us.archive.org\/24\/items\/bp056\/Lethal_Industry_-_Cover_A_thumb.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_04\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/bp056\">Fescal &#8211; [bp056] Lethal Industry<\/a> &#8211; Wayfaring Geography<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ia700100.us.archive.org\/16\/items\/nocti9\/liminal2_thumb.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_05\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/nocti9\">Nemeton &#8211; [nocti9] Liminal<\/a> &#8211; Hypnagogic Dream<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ia700101.us.archive.org\/20\/items\/earman132\/00-thumbnail.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_06\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthmantra.com\/release-detail.php?id=132\">Susperia-Electrica &#8211; [earman132] Turmoil<\/a> &#8211; Close Your Eyes See The Stars<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ia700105.us.archive.org\/22\/items\/Vol_49_amp066\/amp066.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_07\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/amp-recs.com\/amp\/amp066.html\">Cezary Gapik &#8211; [amp066] Vol.49<\/a> &#8211; #0455<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ia700105.us.archive.org\/0\/items\/earman143\/00-thumbnail.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_08-1\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthmantra.com\/release-detail.php?id=143\">Lucette Bourdin &#8211; [earman143] Horse Heaven<\/a> &#8211; Dweller in the Infinite<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ia700109.us.archive.org\/6\/items\/Jnn100No-r-malIi\/cd2-thumb.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_08-2\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/justnotnormal.wordpress.com\/2010\/08\/07\/jnn100-various-artists-no-r-mal-ii\/\">C.Reider &#8211; [jnn100] No-R-mal II<\/a> &#8211; Will fall<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vuzhmusic.com\/misc\/blogthumbs\/fabio.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_09\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petcord.com\/releases\/pc0910-02-fabio-keiner-without-words-without-silence\/\">Fabio Keiner &#8211; [pc09010-02] Without Words Without Silence<\/a> &#8211; Evening Evocations III<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vuzhmusic.com\/misc\/blogthumbs\/peregrino.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_10\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.restingbell.net\/releases\/rb089-el-azul-helado-del-alba\">Peregrino &#8211; [rb089] El azul helado del alba<\/a> &#8211; Cientos de luces extra\u00c3\u00b1as iluminan la noche<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ia700104.us.archive.org\/10\/items\/wh136\/folder.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_11\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/wh136\">Rakombinacje &#8211; [wh136] Izolacje Sensu<\/a> &#8211; (Shockley-Read-Hall)<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vuzhmusic.com\/misc\/blogthumbs\/angelfaraldo.jpg\" width=\"130\"><br \/>\nnx2010-00_12\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/modisti.com\/netlabel\/?p=520\">\u00c1ngel Faraldo &#8211; [modisti 18] Scelsi Remix<\/a>: 7 Mantras &#8211; Aum<br \/>\n&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8211;<br \/>\n<strong>Download the compilation<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/nx2010-00\">http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/nx2010-00<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nMore info: <a href=\"http:\/\/musicnumbers.wordpress.com\/\">http:\/\/musicnumbers.wordpress.com\/<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/i><br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nThanks Miquel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My post detailing my favorite netlabel releases of 2010 was quite popular, and led to a lot of people discovering some cool music, which is one of my main goals, aside from promoting my own music.
