Russian ambient artist Beautumn has a few live sets available for download, and since it's all made on a computer, it sounds as good as anything he's released.

(http://radio.crimusic.info/sleepy/live/)

Parent directory also contains material from his other project, Sleepy Town Manufacture, though I'm not really a fan of it.

From the hip-hop world: (http://74.124.198.47/illegal-art.net/__girl__talk___feed__the__anima.ls___/) "Feed the Animals" by Girl Talk. Although you are asked to specify how much you would like to pay, it is okay to enter 0.0 and download the album for free.

From rock/metal/punk: (http://www.machinaesupremacy.com/masusite/archive.html) Machinae Supremacy. The free stuff they offer is a number of different songs they have recently grouped into "albums", available under Webography, as well as the soundtrack they have made for the game "Jets'n'Guns".

Also, let us not forget about (http://ghosts.nin.com/main/home) "Ghosts I" by Nine Inch Nails - although the other three parts of "Ghosts" need to be paid for, this one is free. Once on the Web page, click Order and check the "FREE DOWNLOAD" option.

Ooooh! Girl Talk! :D I will be downloading this when I get home. Machinae Supremacy I would halfway file under "game soundtracks" and Beautman's isn't really a coherent album but I'll include them both anyway because I'm such a NICE GUY :mad:

I may have mentioned (http://noise.dillfrog.com/albums/1) "... Get A Stupid Answer" by The Cow Exchange in one of these threads before, but it remains one of my favorite free albums.

Also an old favorite is the self-titled (http://www.8bitpeoples.com/discography/8BP033) "i, cactus"

Dean Gray's (http://webfeedcentral.com/more/dean-gray/) "American Edit" is of dubious legality, since Warner never OK'd the use of the Green Day album for mashing up, but if Girl Talk is fine here, I'm guessing this is, too. Some of my favorite mashing up/remixing here.

Speaking of mashups, there's also the recently released (http://gangstagrass.com/) "Gangstagrass". Some misses, but when it's good, it's very good. "The Art of Flowin" is a highlight.

And of course there's the (http://www.munchhouse.com/conelrad/) excellent albums put together by our very own OnionBob.

(http://www.ambient-nights.org/) ... many, many hours of ambient music. I've been living off the stuff from this website for about two years now.

The EP was a free internet release and it consist of one, around 20 minutes long track. The download page is in french so I used a direct download link.

I'm suggesting this for fifth time maybe, but I just love this netlabel.
