Harvest Number 81 for Fall 2009: While the 10th Anniversary Celebrations continue on CMP3-FM Synerdata.Net Radio, I have just completed Harvest Number 81, for Fall, 2009, and for this harvest I was given to go to harvest among the original mp3com community of artists who were transferred to GarageBand.com, where they are strategically buried, as in a great haystack...

In this harvest I have focused primarily upon Trip-Hop artists, while still arriving at a full cross-section of every other sub-genre of electronica in the course of harvesting, and once again, it was what I call a double-harvest, which is to say, around 300 new releases (150 is a single program), and so there is a lot of new music to listen to and fully appreciate.

In Program Number 81.0, I have started out as usual featuring some of the most outstanding new releases earlier in the program, and in this program, we start out listening to mostly the world's best and pioneering Trip-Hop artists, (not to be confused with hip-hop or rap), and for those who do not know, Trip-Hop is perhaps the most over-all beautiful genre, usually featuring dreamy female vocals set to smooth and trippy electronica, and the music is usually themed, or is about some kind of trip, or off-subject matter, and it often includes Dub and sampling as well. Trip-Hop is my personal favorite kind of electronica, and Synerdata Radio has been called the best Trip-Hop station on the planet, which it certainly does aspire to being. And so this program starts out with a full array of mind-bending new Trip-Hop releases by the best, and most well known independent artists, interspersed with occasional instrumental and melodic electronica breaks and sub-strands...

Later on in the program, after about 100 tracks of the smoothest and most beautiful Trip-Hop and other electronica, we proceed into the best louder Trip-Hop and other electronica, including some drum and bass, and a full array of new controversial transcorrelating electronica following along popularized station themes, and established shock-radio therapy, and conveying the best of the new kick-ass electronica in a couple of sets with rest breaks between them, and then as the program proceeds into the second 150 tracks, we get into all the other best electronica which has beeen released, the curiosities, and b-sides, and eclectic tracks, and audio artwork, and everything else which does not fit in at the start of the program.

All in all it's a spectacular new harvest, and the music is once again mind-boggling and phenomenally excellent, for our favorite artists just keep outdoing themselves, and one another, and continually raising the standard and defining the state of the art in new 21st century electronica.

I plan on adding the ArtistServer.com trip-Hop artists to this Harvest a little later on, if given to, as well, as I continue harvesting from the vibrant ArtistServer.com community on an ongoing basis as the site the station is based in up now. If you are releasing new electronica that you would like on the station, simply release it at ArtistServer.com, and I'll be catching up with your work over time.

Otherwise, I plan on continuing to search out all the former original mp3com artists from the vast and difficult to review GarageBand.com haystack, and get their new work on the air, and their URL's onto their tracks so that people can find them again, and so I would be reviewing more of the charts at GarageBand.com over time (the only way to view the artists there), and gathering the angels where we can hear and connect with them again.

Make a coffee, and settle in to listen to harvest Number 81 on Synerdata Radio, and be prepared for a phenomenal journey through the true sound of mankind up now. And be sure to take rest breaks at intervals, for it's a long program, and it's not healthy to listen for over 24 hours, without sleeping, just because the program is that long.

Synerdata Radio's Tenth Anniversary: Synerdata Radio (CMP3-FM) first started streaming the hottest new releases in electronica from the original mp3com in 1999. For the past decade, Synerdata Radio has been reviewing all the latest releases in independent electronica, and connecting you to all the best new artists, and presenting the widest scope possible of all hard working, actively releasing independent artists. One would think that after 10 years, we would have launched the station by now, but it's waiting for something...

Harvest Number 80 is now ON-THE-AIR, and for this harvest, I was given to review all new releases in "Electronica" specifically, at ArtistServer.com, and I reviewed each of the new releases in Electronica from the present, back to 2001, when ArtistServer.com first opened (originally as ElectronicScene.com), and I was given to download all the best "Electronica" genre tracks from ArtistServer.com, and I have arrayed about 250 of these in the Program Number 80.0 playlist. Once again, I was harvesting with the intent of being most inclusive, hence the double-sized program for this harvest. I would like to stress that while these are all the best tracks released as "Electronica" genre tracks, there is far more electronic music at ArtistServer.com in other genres of electronic music, wherein Electronica is just a sub-genre. Because of the large amount of electronica, I would be fine-mixing it over time, as we become more familiar with everyone's work, and so early versions of Program Number 80.x may be a little eclectic farther into the program, as we work our way through it.

TEN ORBITS: It was back at the original pre-ipo mp3com that I was a part of that original vast global mp3com independent music production community, being the largest gathering of artists upon the earth, with more inherent political power than all the record cartels combined, (were it the competition allowed the community to persist, and remain socially interconnected), and I was releasing my own albums there on mp3com manufactured CD's, and taking part in the new music industry the oppositely functioning record cartels were attempting to compete with, but fairly could not. At that time, the average CD by an excellent artist was US$4.00, establishing a new standard which was quickly wiped out by the competition. The community was phenomenal, made up of tens of thousands of artists from all over the earth, for all were coming in hearing of the gathering of the angels, and each genre of music had a virtually bottomless chart, and listening to each chart as a playlist was an incredible global journey, opening one's eyes and ears to THE TRUE SOUND of mankind upon the brink of the 21st century.

Phenomenal things were happening, which had never happened before, and all the artists were interconnecting, and collaborating with like-talented artists, and the artists were lifting one another up, to raise the finest in the world, and the artists began producing naturally arising song strands, where two or more songs inspired by a first song, modularly blend together to form a new and greater multi-artist "song strand" across a broad array of popular subjects, and memes, and themes, and contemporary news and concerns. I was tracking and following all these phenomena, including the preservation of the amazing modular song strands the artists were openly and all inclusively producing.

It was amazing, but it was still mostly only the 100,000 or so artists who were variously witnessing all such things, and hearing all the most incredible music in the world by all the real stars love hath wrought, who, decades ago, would have been "the signed". Even in such a vast community, there was a great challenge of sorting, and a need for thoughtful mixing, and highlighting of artists, for there was more music than anyone could listen to, and so the artists, who knew all the music and other artists the best, were sorting, and interconnecting, and this is about when mp3com implemented "Stations" which were stream on demand playlists, and some were casual, while others were highly produced radio shows, with announcing, and special features, and music produced specifically for station promotions and/or themes, and Synerdata Radio was one of these, and was a pioneering station of fully produced and live hosted radio programs in where I was presenting and arraying and highlighting popularly arising artist subject strands in music, which any artists could freely join in an add to, and in my harvesting, I would gather the new correlations, and add them to their respective strands, in those locations that the artists make obvious.

Synerdata Radio continued as a popular stream on demand radio station at mp3com while I worked on building the live stream station here in Victoria through the turn of the millennium, and in February of 2002, Synerdata Radio went from being a produced stream on request radio program to being a live 24/7/365 radio stream, produced live, on the fly, and in those times, Synerdata Radio was at number one in electronica at shoutcast.com, and had a much larger donated server, and hundreds of artists were producing the music for feature on Synerdata Radio, which was connecting radio listeners to the artists, and thus lifting them up in the mp3com charts, and selling their CD's, and introducing the public to the best new artists of the 21st century. The goal on Synerdata Radio was to review -everybody- equally and fairly, and to present -as many- of the best new and up and coming artists as possible, rather than only a select few, and this was so that the public might see the wealth of music which is available, and so that mankind can hear the true cultural sound of mankind, in electronic music, up in these times, when the angels are restricted from being heard by the masses by the media cartels.

As one of the artists, I had hoped to present more music of my own on the station, however, I have found that building and running the station has largely displaced my own music production, and I have not done as much, myself, as I had hoped, in the course of 80 harvests. I am an old FM Radio Producer, and I was in the process of developing a new FM radio station for Victoria and region, to play electronic music upon, but once the shoutcast streaming technology of the late 90's appeared, it was immediate and obvious that I must proceed directly to streaming globally in near CD-quality digital network stream narrowcast radio, wherein there were no CRTC broadcasting license to acquire, nor any delays to getting on the air as soon as possible, and so after commencing CMP3-FM Synerdata Radio at mp3com in 1999, I focused all my attention upon building the physical station, for which I gathered all new equipment and location to build the best professional global station on the internet, and I wrote all the original proprietary station software which produces it's trade-mark live real-time announcing in synthesis, along with my own live and synthesized announcing in conversive tandem.

The station was rocking in 2002, and was topping the charts, and could not expand it's capacity fast enough to keep up with demand, where it was standing room only, and line-up's to get in going down the virtual street, and around the proverbial corner. We were struck with a misfortune when our Venture Capital deal was scuttled by a breech of trust by a financial manager in early 2003, but at that time, a large server was donated, and so the station was able to continue and cruise at a large capacity for years to come, until that was lost as collateral damage in the war, and since 2006, the station has been basically limping along, repairing the damage of the unrelated war on our country, which I remain central to in my public service work for Ottawa, and we have been running on a listener donated server with a small capacity of 15 listeners, since then, contributed by Andy, in Atlanta, who has over the years remained Synerdata Radio's number one contributor through rain and sun alike.

Synerdata Radio -has not actually launched yet- and has merely been harvesting and producing the programs in preparation for launch, which has been delayed for 4 years now by the war, and it's direct covert assault to prevent the station's launch, and I have spent this past year testifying for parliament that the issue is to be resolved, and am in a holding pattern, presently, while due process unfolds, and now focusing upon the station's tenth anniversary.

Ten Years Later, Synerdata Radio is still on the air, and by now, has amassed over 20,000 of the 21st century's hottest new releases in independent music, for one of the largest hand-picked archives of free independent music on the planet, and being established as the #1 authority in electronic music in the 21st century, and connecting you -directly- to all the best artists of the 21st century. Throughout this tenth anniversary year, I am playing a cross section of previous programs and highlights from over the years, as we otherwise proceed to get to know all the best artists at ArtistServer.com, and other popular independent artist community release sites. In coming harvests, I expect to be given to continue harvesting from many other sites in addition to ArtistServer.com, where the station has relocated it's harvesting base in the wake of the shutting down of C|net's music.download.com site, where the station was based from 2004 through 2008, in the wake of the destruction of the former, original mp3com by the competition, in late 2003. Help support the global independent electronic music community, promote Synerdata.Net Radio on your sites, and help get the word out that this artist community station connects you directly to all the best new free promotional electronica on earth!

Harvest Number 79 - ON-THE-AIR: For this harvest, I reviewed a selection of genre charts in electronic music at ArtistServer.com, starting with the top Electronica tracks, and then proceeding to the top Trip-hop tracks, and then Tech-step, and then Goth, and so on, through several other genres featured in this harvest, and what I did was just select tracks directly from the top 30 of each of these genre charts at ArtistServer.com, initially gathering about 100 of the current top tracks from about 6 different genres of electronica, and then I have mixed these together. The result is an accurate reflection of the current state of the art in electronica music, as reflected in the vibrant ArtistServer.com international artist community. I would be adding additional tracks to this harvest in the coming weeks, to expand it. In the last harvest (78) I browsed the artist listings, and downloaded all new tracks from artists I am already familiar with at ArtistServer.com, or remember from back at the original (pre-IPO) mp3com, and so in this harvest, we are listening to the current top tracks in the charts at ArtistServer.com, and in coming harvests, I would be continuing to harvest all the latest releases as they come out, as well as harvesting by region, and other formats, so that as each harvest is completed, we receive an accurate and broad scope of all the incredible independent artists actively releasing new music at ArtistServer.com.

In my opinion, ArtistServer.com is the closest thing there is to a replacement for the original mp3com, only better, for it was designed to be altruistic from the start, and to improve upon the original mp3com altruism, and array of promotional tools for the independent music industry, and there you can find an entire cross section of the original famous mp3com artist community.

Music.Download.com No Longer Exists

RIP - Music.Download.com: Well, we saw it coming, when C|Net was sold to CBS Media and Music.Download.com disappeared from the Download.com menu, and now it has happened, and Music.Download.com has been shut down completely, and is now forwarding all Music.Download.com Artist QuickURL's to Last.FM (???) And so it's gone, being the latest in an ongoing string of serial Anti-Competitive Independent Artist OMD Sites which the Record Cartels have been wiping out, and this is on the heals of having bought Artistlaunch.com, and then shutting it down. This all started when Bronfman (then at Universal/Vivendi) declared war on Independent Artists (at mp3com) in San Diego in December of 1999, and determined to destroy the new and fair competition mp3com was presenting. And so another element in the Independent Music Industry infrastructure has been wiped out by the competition, and the links to the artist download.com pages have been broken, once again, and no attempt has been made to even inform the artists. SHAME ON CBS MEDIA!!!

However, it is all for the best, as Music.Download.com was a "Media Partner Relationship Agreement" site, fornicating with the RIAA Media Cartel, which re-engineered the site from being an Independent Artist Community Site into an Independent Competition Graveyard, where the artists were strategically buried, and the ability to communicate between artists there was shut down, and so CBS Media actually did everyone a favor there by just getting rid of the site, lest more Independent Artists were harmed and deceived.

Well, we are getting a little tired of the game of musical site destruction, and so the new criteria is that we would not be harvesting in the future from those sites which are MPRA/IPRA contaminated sites, and the station has newly touched down at ArtistServer.com, which is an altruistic Independent Artist owned and operated artist community site, with a solid reputation for fairly serving in the open independent industry infrastructure, and is host to many of the original mp3com community artists who migrated there when Bronfman destroyed mp3com in his anti-competitive corporate crime spree. We Most Highly Recommend that all independent artists who were formerly at Music.Download.com join us in migrating to ArtistServer.com, where you will find a very large and vibrant and highly active community of the finest artists in the biz, as well as wholly altruistic Independent Artist Infrastructure and promotional features and artist community interaction and collaboration.

Harvest Number 78 - ON-THE-AIR: For this harvest we have returned to one of the original famous independent music sites, which used to be called ElectronicScene.com, but which has since expanded to serve all artists of all types and genres at ArtistServer.com, and what I specifically did in this harvest is browse ALL the artists in the vibrant ArtistServer community of independent artists, and where I recognized any artist, I downloaded all their new work, and so this has resulted in a phenomenal new harvest of back to back hit tracks by the finest electronic music artists of the early 21st century.

Because I have been given to do this additional harvest for winter 2009, I have been raising up tracks from harvest number 77 into the present program. I expect to be doing much more harvesting from ElectronicScene.com in the future, and I Most Highly Recommend ArtistServer.com to all independent artists seeking a classic altruistic artist community promotional site with artist collaboration and promotional forums. ArtistServer.com is one of the original artist community sites which began around the same time as the original mp3com, and is the OMD site of choice for a broad array of the finest electronic music artists on this planet. Check it out!

Harvest Number 77 - Winter 2009

Harvest Number 77 - ON-THE-AIR: The Hottest New Releases, for Winter, 2009, are now on the air, bringing you the sound of 2009. I have once again reviewed all releases by all artists who have released a new electronica track at Music.Download.com, harvesting everything which deserves to be heard, and we have a phenomenal new harvest on the air, and many more brand new artists sharing their finest work with us, to appreciate.

I have some interesting news related to music.download.com, as it enters it's 6th year, in the wake of Universal/Vivendi's anti-competitive destruction of the original mp3com in 2003. C|net are those whom Universal/Vivendi sold the domain name mp3com to, imposing anti-competitive Industry Partner Relationship Agreement (IPRA) limitations upon the domain name, in 2003. At the time, C|net appealed to the vast original competing mp3com Independent Music Industry Artists, in the wake of mp3com's destruction, that they come and sign into a new music site which C|net was proceeding to create, which forwarded the altruistic and competitive values of mp3com with the muscle of C|net's famous and trusted "download.com" and it's traffic, which new site was called music.download.com, or "MDL", for short...

At that devastating juncture in the true history of the decentralized, open Independent Recording Industry, I was given to review the remaining well known OMD sites (as an electronica artist myself), to find a new base community site for the station to reliably harvest from, and in building their new music site, C|net expressed intent to respect the open independent industry's altruistic values, as established at the original mp3com, to fairly serve those artists who fairly compete with the other music industry which works opposite to the Independent Industry fair marketing systems. I selected C|net because they had the corporate muscle to build and run a good site which had the potential to be the standard setter, and biggest legal music site on earth, as well as their express offer of C|net's -high traffic- levels, which were on par with the original mp3com, and there was also the opportunity to take part in consulting to ensure the site was the finest on the earth for Independent artists, and altruistic non-independent artists.

It came to pass that many of the original mp3com artists came to join music.download.com, though so many were lost, and the excellent staff at C|net worked together with the outspoken contributing artists such that the finest site was built, and for the first couple of years, it remained as such, and community was supported by having forums to promote and for artists to arrange to work together, and so on.

In time, however, the excellent site was replaced with an engineered IPRA site, which is to say, the altruistic elements were removed, as well as the high traffic the artist were receiving, and it was redesigned to function as a haystack, or in other words, an Independent Artist Graveyard, where the competition hides Independent artists from the masses, and places their own artists on the front pages, and the other well documented anti-competitive practices of the RIAA as imposed upon all IPRA sites which they fornicated and made anti-competitive, including the closing of forums, to prevent community interaction between those they compete with, and so the site was strategically crippled by the competition in their war on Independent Artist Competition.

The site has continued to operate in that format for a few years now, but it was still visible to the public, and was still a very good system, and was still attended to by the finest independent artists, and while there was no more community interaction permitted there, I continued to harvest from there, for it is widely known that I do, and so I was bound to continue harvesting there to ensure I got all tracks written by contributing artists for this show, though I opened up to harvesting from other crippled IPRA sites, like Garageband.com, and some which are still unfornicated by the RIAA's war on all independent competition, like Soundclick.com, and the recently targeted and destroyed Artistlaunch.com, which was fast becoming the new "main" Independent Artist Industry site.

But there is something happening now, where C|net is now owned by CBS media, and since being acquired, access to music.download.com by the public, from "download.com", has been removed from the main C|net site's pages, and so music.download.com has now been hidden from the public, at C|net; and while the site is still operational, there is something going on, and it may be that the RIAA is now in the process of destroying music.download.com, which is my speculation, based upon my years of observing the war on Independent artists, and the way the RIAA destroys all fair competition, it appears as though music.download.com may be next in the long line of competing music industry sites which the RIAA has destroyed, and/or is in the process of destroying, prior to it's own destruction, even as written.

Artistlaunch.com is the latest Independent industry site to be destroyed, and it was sold by it's creator with the expectation that the site would continue, but those who purchased it simply destroyed it, to assault all the artists yet again, and so the site's creator is saddened, for he was tricked. The war on the vast, and and much larger Independent Artist Industry, by the small American record cartel, the RIAA, continues, and in the past year has reached a new verve and offensiveness, and relentlessly continues towards the RIAA's ultimate destruction by America's now IMMINENT justice. I would keep you informed as America's global covert wars continue.
