If you’ll go here you’ll find a very nice drum ‘n bass album, filed under a Creative Commons License.

Your Choice (2009)

Genre:
Jungle, Atmospheric, Drum n’ Bass, Choppage

Info:
First jungle album. Got a lot of influences from artists like Paradox, Seba, J Majik, Photek / The Sentinel and Source Direct, among others. The result ended up as a mixture of both oldskool and nuskool elements.

Tracklist:

1. Voluntary Enslavement
2. Break the Comfortable
3. Smashing Pyramids
4. First Step
5. Cactus Harvest
6. Mindless Thoughts
7. Revelation of Self

There’s more music (ambient, psychedelic dub, etc) from this obviously talented dude, so be sure to check out the rest of his website. If you want to stream the tracks first, that is also possible.

I sit in my room …

“World world world
I sit in my room
Imagine the future
sunlight falls on Paris
I am alone there is no
one whose love is perfect
man has been mad man’s
love is not perfect I
have not wept enough
my breast will be heavy
till death of cities
are specters of cranks
of war the cities are
work & brick & iron &
smoke of the furnace of
selfhood makes tearless
eyes red in London but
no eye meets the sun”

~ Allen Ginsberg, from “Europe! Europe!”

Less government, more freedom

In the face of a growing number of deaths and cases of HIV linked to drug abuse, the Portuguese government in 2001 tried a new tack to get a handle on the problem—it decriminalized the use and possession of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, LSD and other illicit street drugs. The theory: focusing on treatment and prevention instead of jailing users would decrease the number of deaths and infections.
