Return to Mark/Space
This is where the music is. Meet the artists, visit the clubs, check the archives.
This is an eclectic site where anything goes (as long as it's good or interesting). Blues, jazz, psychedelic, hip-hop, reggae, dub, rap, industrial, indie, techno, jungle, trance, etc.In the future, we'll be featuring original sounds from various techno-underground artists, labels, and producers. Plus pygmy music from the Bayaka (recorded by Louis Sarno), cultural jazz fusion from Embryo (check the Roman Bunka entry), oral texts by Ira Cohen, a Lee Perry discography, and other interesting stuff.
At the moment, I'm too busy to keep this page updated frequently... but do check the archive section below for links to much much more. In the meantime, I'm searching for people who can keep track of the music scene... anyone care to help with links, reviews, etc.?
