Underworld 1992 - 2002

I'll have to admit I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to electronic music however Underworld is a band that I like very much and highly recommend. My favorite song by them "Rez" always makes me picture myself being in a train speeding through the night to some unknown location. The album I am making available for download is the special edition "Underworld 1992 - 2002". As I said before I highly recommend giving these guys a listen whether you are a fan of electronic music or like me not that knowledgeable in this music genre.

Joe Strummer's London Calling BBC Radio Shows

From 1999 to 2002 Joe Strummer the frontman of The Clash hosted a radio show for the BBC World Service. The show followed a very simple format with Joe spinning the records he had gathered from being a teenager living in Africa and Latin America to the reggae and rock records that would later become a tremendous influence in the music of The Clash. London Calling really did have a bit of music to suit any persons taste. Personally this is where I first heard much of the music that I now regularly listen to including artists like Big Youth, Francoise Hardy, Sonny Okosun, R. Dean Taylor, and music styles like Congolese rumba. I've heard that all the shows that Joe did are available for download on iTunes however the download that I am making available here has four shows which were re-aired by the BBC in 2007 in honor of Joe Strummer's death. I really recommend this one to anyone out there as you can really discover some great music on these shows.

Daniel Alvarez - On The Path To Awakening

Daniel is a great guitarist (he taught the author of this blog how to play guitar) and this is his first CD. His music could be considered sort of a cross between rock and jazz and I can say that his music would be enjoyed by anyone who likes either of these two genres. Daniel is a great guy and an even better musician so I really highly recommend anyone to check out his music. And if you enjoy his music that I am posting here support him and buy his CD at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/danielalvarez

The Jam - Live at Rockplast 1980

The Jam is one of the most famous bands in Britain to come out of the 1970's-80's punk and new wave era. While The Jam were tremendously popular in Britain they had very limited success in other places such as the United States. This being a real shame since The Jam composed some great tracks combining the sounds from 60's bands like The Beatles and The Who with the newer punk and new wave style. The album that I am uploading is a live album and features some of the best tracks done by The Jam.
Really recommend you check this out if you like any of the punk or new wave music of the 70's-80's or also any of the British rock from the 1960's.

Jackie Mittoo - Last Train to Skaville

Jackie Mittoo one of the most influential and one of the greatest musician to come out of the Jamaican music scene of the 1960's. His instrumental songs would lay the foundation for much of the work that later artists would produce. This album Last Train To Skaville has some great tunes including a Jamaican take on the James Bond theme song and the epic Ska-Culation. If you like reggae, ska, jazz, or just plain good music than this is definitely an album you want to check out.

The Clash - Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg (2 CD)

Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg is one of the most famous of Clash bootlegs. It is made up of the original recordings by Mick Jones of what would become the Combat Rock album. A lot of these songs never saw the light of day and the original mixes were never used either due to the struggles and fighting that the band was starting to experience at this point in time. While Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg is a relatively easy bootleg ro find for download online most versions available are only made up of 1 CD and are missing some great tracks. The version I am giving you here includes some extremely rare tracks including two songs featuring Ranking Roger from The Beat on vocals. This material truly is a must have for any Clash fan.
