Fading Ways Music - The Blog

The new Fading Ways Digital Download shop is now up and running with a few of our titles. This store is a result of the new partnership between Fading Ways Music and Cowbell Digital over in Australia; and it is hosted stateside by Missing Ink.

Cowbell will also be releasing select physical-product titles from the Fading Ways catalogue. Visit the digital download shop at https://missinginkshop.com/fadingwaysrecords/store.

By way of an invitation, here is a free mp3 off my “Betrayal of the Self” album, which is now available via the digital download store: Neil Leyton - Alone/Together.

From 2004 to 2006, the Fading Ways released a series of Creative Commons licensed EP’s that our street teams were encouraged to download, burn, copy and share. In this blog post we offer up a few of these back-catalogue tracks since the original Share site has now gone offline… along with a reminder of what Share Sampler Vol 1 looked like:

1. Neil Leyton: Melancholy, Understanding

2. The Sinisters: Rocket

3. Red Orkestra: Still Waters

4. Aceface: Knock Me Out

5. The Pariahs: Down Again

6. The Conscience Pilate: Money & Alcohol

All the Share Samplers where issued under the CC By-Nc-Sa license starting in early 2004… Fading Ways would eventually become the first record label to distribute internationally available physical CDs using CC licenses on our CDs… Red Orkestra’s debut “After the Wars” was the first…

Enjoy the blasts from the past!

Fading Ways Music welcomes bloggers from around the world!

We believe blogging to be the future of proper music journalism. Mainstream media, and most radio, can no longer be trusted to serve valid independent opinions. Bloggers rule - all the best new music is found in blogs. And, yes, we miss Lester Bangs! So we propose a trade: once a week, the hard-working typewriter monkeys here at Fading Ways HQ shall serve up a new Creative Commons-empowered (By-Nc-Sa licensed), freely downloadable and re-postable mp3 from our new upcoming releases (or back catalogue, for those who like that sort of not-so-new, best-kept-secret sorta thing!), and YOU write about it! In the spirit of old Lester. Plus, if you like what you hear and wanna know more, get in touch with us via fadingways@googlemail.com and we will provide additional and even exclusive contents for your particular blog. Talk to us!

FEATURED THIS WEEK:

FWM066: Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing… Mazgani

Mazgani is a Portuguese singer-songwriter who has released a debut album, Song of the new Heart, and an EP, Tell the People, in Portugal. Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Mazgani is, appropriately, his first international release and he presents us with all five tracks of the new Tell the People EP combined with 5 tracks from his debut album. Plus, an unforgetable and must-have gem of a bonus track, “Slaughterhouse of Love”, where, alone with an acoustic guitar and a hot mic, Mazgani delivers a passionate tale about right and wrong, and knowing who you are.

However, for now, here is the first track on the comp: Mazgani - Thirst

Mazgani will be at the Super Bock em Stock festival in Lisbon, Dec. 5th, followed by the Eurosonic/Noorderslag festival and showcase in Groningen, NL in January - part of a Netherlands mini tour. Please visit www.mazgani.com for more details - the site is in English and Portuguese, so you can practice your language skills as well.
