Free Music Archive Sampler CD vol2 (MP3s)

WFMU presents Selected Sounds from the Free Music Archive Vol. 2. Coated in a cool wintry blue, this second volume features an all-new set of sounds from Silver Jews, Vivian Girls, The Ex+Getatchew Mekuria, Old Time Relijun, Indian Jewelry and more.  The compilation includes tracks off some of our favorite commercial releases, as well as previously unreleased exclusives from the WFMU live room and Free Music Series.

These are just a few of the thousands of tracks that will be freely available under Creative Commons licenses when the fully interactive Free Music Archive website launches this December.  All tracks appear courtesy of artists and labels who have benefited from a progressive approach to distribution and intellectual property in the digital era, and we're designing the Free Music Archive to support this approach.

We'll be handing out free copies of the CD at tonight's Free Music Series concert feat. Wire & Times New Viking (it's sold out but we'll be broadcasting live from the Fillmore NYC). We'll also save some copies of the FMA Sampler CD for the WFMU Record Fair, which is just around the corner (Oct 24-26).  If you are unwilling or unable to procure a physical CD, you can download the compilation, along with accompanying artwork by Greg Harrison.
