The One21 Essential 100 is a collection of albums that represent the best in creativity, innovation, and originality in music. This is not a “best of” list, nor is it influenced by album sales, or even popularity. Our attempt with this series is to highlight the gems, those rare albums that push boundaries and encourage new ways of thinking; both musical and philosophically. In our opinion, the music highlighted in this series is the “good stuff”.

Simply what this is going to be is a list of 100 albums from Christian music artists that we think you should own. Like our website, most genres will be represented, and some of the albums will be from… Continue reading

Below is the album artwork and track listing for Son Lux’s Febuary 16th, 2010 release, the Weapons EP.

“In the time since Mazes, Lott has stayed busy composing – among other things – hours of music for dance companies from New York to Paris. But for him, the chant-based concept of the Son Lux debut required further investigation. The Weapons EP is Lott’s self-issued challenge to do just that – to use Mazes standout “Weapons,” whose primary melody haunts various points of that record, as a launch pad for a complete EP of material derived from a single source.”

1.WEAPONS II
2.WEAPONS III (Polyphonic Remix)
3.WEAPONS IV (Nico Muhly Remix)
4.WEAPONS V
5.WEAPONS VI (Alias Remix)

I have really been trying to go for quality and not quantity nwith these free downloads lately. Last week I introduced you to Bosh (you are welcome), and this week a free download of Mr J. Medeiros‘ The Art of Broken Glass EP. I have to say that that the jazz infused, tounge-twisting style of hip-hop on full display in The Art of Broken Glass EP is defiantly my favorite kind of hip-hop. I always seem to fall all over this stuff. The music on this EP is just so SMOOTH, slightly a throw back to early 90s hip-hop, but with a lot of modern senseablities.

Mr J. Medeiros was one… Continue reading | 3 Comments
