i was looking on jon hopkins web site (perhaps my favourite artist of the moment) and followed a link to sound asleep records who look like a label worth keeping an eye on if you like your music ambient or electronic – i guess a little in the vein of kranky records for those of you who have discovered the delight of the incredible dead texan album.
anyway it turns out they have a free 8 tracks of their artists doing christmas songs. i am not sure how long this offer is up now christmas is over. you can link to it from their front page or this is currently the direct link. there are a couple of tunes here that are gems including an amazing 11 minute ambient silent night and they will no doubt be providing a soundscape to some alt worship in ealing next advent…
this is worship trick 53, series 3

thanks for the tip off Jonny – Happy New Year! (like the new layout BTW)
