New CD ESP 4111 Various Artists - ESP New Artist Sampler 2008

ESP is proud to announce its first sampler of new artists in over thirty years. We've chosen the best tracks from artists who follow the ESP tradition with groundbreaking, mind-blowing music that continues to shock and excite.

Paul Bley fans will relate to the beautiful melodies laid down by Chris Speed, Chris Cheek & Stephane Leibovici on their album Jugendstil. If you liked the Rounders' folky roots filtered through pyschedelic manic, then listen to Yximalloo's Donovan cover inverted into an electronica-glitchy pop song.

The ESP New Artist Sampler 2008 features Lindha Kallerdahl, Yuganaut, Totem>, Yximalloo, Chris Speed/Chris Cheek/Stephane Furic Leibovici, and Barnacled. Their records were released to rave reviews and here they are in one compilation for you to enjoy!
