Last summer my friend told me about this band and because I was really into prefuse 73, flying lotus, j dilla it was just perfect. Unfortunely my iPod crashed so i had to retrieve all the music i had or remembered that i had and i totally forgot about this band. I just recently remembered about them and i found it today and it brought back great memories. Sound Tribe Sector 9 has played various festivals and musical events but stayed pretty independent while gaining fans through their live perfornamce. The album i own from the various one's they've released sounds very down-tempo-ish, more of a Zero 7 feel with folk & acoustic sounds soulful ballads and even just easy listening tracks. I've read up on them and came to find out that everyone in the band plays the Laptop haha. They all sequence and record different sounds together and sample it's pretty interesting a lot of computer work going on there. You can hear pianos, glitch, chimes, electronics, drums. phasing. The album reminds me of a slow tempo version of 'Rounds' album from Four Tet, with the loops and samplings. With 'Artifact' you can hear every style and experimentation it's very clever you can hear every little thing like congas on the track 'Tokyo' and you can also hear an electric guitar used with a slide. It's a bunch of collective sounds weaved cohesively it works well, I haven't had a chance to see these guys live but when i do get the chance I'd love to catch this live. Beautiful guitar solos with ambient type beats and glitch, you'll even hear like arabic music or something reminiscent of that. It took me forever to find this album so I'm making it available for free through MediaFire because it took me a long time to find a copy. I hope you guys enjoy this album STS9- Artifact it's very creative in my opinion. Noticeable genres Electronica, Jazz, Funk, Pop, Ambient, Psychedelic, Hip Hop, Techno, Soul, just a straight up jam band. *UPDATE* STS9 will be at the House of Blues Sunset Strip May 16 and 17 tickets are on sale now $17.50 for One night and $35.00 for a 2 day pass on sale at ticketmaster. here's the link
