Monday Long Song
While browsing the interweb one day in (cripes!) 2006, I tripped over 'Le Début', a digitally downloadable mini-LP from an outfit called The Banjo Consorsium. The French Canadian combo had an interesting approach of blending traditional instrumentation (occasionally including the titular banjo) with skittering electronics beeps, bleeps and rat-a-tat-tats, becoming a popular fixture in Swede Towers at the time. The following year, using elements of 'Le Début', the band issued a CD entitled 'A Turning One', after which they completely fell off my radar. A little light Googling, however, tells me that this music and more is now readily available via their Bandcamp page (here).

That wasn't what I expected Swede. Very good stuff indeed.
