Compilation of the Year - Salade de Concombres Vol. 1

I've been having the discussion with a friend of mine whether or not a compilation album should count as a real album. I think it's a valid question. Most compilations out there are just rammed full of the latest hits from a bunch of artists and it's only goal is to cash in from people with no genuine interest in music. Luckily enough there is another approach to the concept of compilation. It's when you want to gather artists with a certain vision and outlook on the music industry and let them present their music to more people. Cooler than Cucumber Records from France have done just that. They got 34 of today's most interesting artists to present one exclusive track each. The artists span over large part of the world who all come together to give us an option to the mainstream music industry out there. 34 artists who are doing it for the love of music and the culture. I could easily mention a lot of the involved people here, but I think you should do like this instead. Go to Cooler than Cucumber Records Bandcamp page and download it for free. Yes, that's right. For absolutly nothing you get to enjoy some of the finest music out there. So don't miss this opportunity to not only get good songs for your speakers, but also to support the growing alternative music movement out there.
