After the mighty Uncut sampler, this latest affair is pretty miniscule by comparasion, but contains a group of songs that have really grabbed my attention over the last couple of months.I was recently reading the latest Led Zep bio "When Giants Walked The Earth" by Mick Wall and as I read through, I listened to each of their albums untill I got to "In Through The Out Door", which I have had for years but never really listened to it, as it was considered to be their weakest album. During this listen I got to rediscover the total brilliance of "All My Love", A song I know well from plenty of radio plays over the years, but with witch I had never really connected with intimately untill now. Another Highlight among this diverse and very cool group of songs is the truely great "Bulgeria" by the excellent It's A beautiful Day, Not to be missed. Along with a bit of blues, a touch of Jazz, a smidgen of Prog and plenty of 60s pop, there is plenty here to massage the ears pleasently. Enjoy Roddus.

A RODDUS MUSIC SAMPLER - volume 13

Well, it's time again for another Roddus Music Sampler. Back in the late 90's when I bought my first computer, the MP3 music file format was pretty new to the world and I embraced it wholeheartedly because there were all these sites where I could get free music legally. Two sites I used regulary were MP3.com, before it was sold and all the music files deleted, and the other was Epitoinc.com. These sites had music posted by the bands themselves to get their music to people who would not normally find it. There are still sites around that do this and on the whole the music ain't that good. But over the years I managed to collect a small archive of offbeat and very cool tracks that I found on these sites. The following Sampler is all the best legal songs I got from these sites , the many hundreds of others I had weren't worth keeping. Some of the stand outs here are the rythmically bizzare "Reverie"(Vas Deferends Organisation), The Awesome "In Metal"(Low), the industrial ambiance of Lustmord and the truly Magnificant post Punk of "Static"(The Standard). Over the Years I have found albums by several of these artists, but the rarest of them all appears to be "Prismatism", an avant guarde Jazz piano group, whom I cannot find a scrap of evidence that they even existed at all, apart from this very cool track here. Enjoy.
