A Free n5MD Sampler

Following a link given by Headphone Commute*, I downloaded a free n5MD Label Sampler titled MMX: 10 tracks from their artists' 2010 releases. I was impressed by variety and the quality. There is electronica, IDM, "NPR approved" shoegaze, ambient and psychill for your listening pleasure. Get it at
http://n5md.bandcamp.com/album/mmx

* I warmly recommend Headphone Commute who describes the website as " a few candid words on electronica, glitch, idm, drum'n'bass, breakcore, dubstep, trip-hop, modern classical, post-rock, shoegaze, ambient, downtempo, experimental, abstract, minimal, and everything in between."
She (I think it's a she) has a very interesting writing style and an excellent knowledge of her field. Headphone Commute also proposes some of the best downloadable mixes in the genres mentioned.
