Best of 2010

By Suman Sinha | Published: January 30, 2011

The year is over! For some of us, it just came and went – a member of a long list of other such candidates. For some of us it probably was an year of great import, a milestone in our lives in some way or the other. I am not one for grand new year celebrations, or even resolutions for that matter. But I did make one this year – to come up with a best of 2010 compilation for AI at least before the first month of the new year is over! And guess what! I have managed to keep it! In all probability, a first! But I did take my own sweet time, as always! I had to

Axial is a Brazilian band featuring, on voice and keyboard, Sandra Jimenez; on bass and computers, Julian Felipe; on saxophones and clarinet, Leonardo Muniz Correa; and on guitar Yvo Ursini. Their music is ethnic with a generous use of electronics, drawing inspiration from, as well as covering, traditional Brazilian, Haitian and African music. But do not judge them, favourably or otherwise, on that definition. Take time off from your hectic schedule and sit back on a couch with a glass of wine and then listen to Axial. I do not make any claims of ‘melting away all your stress’ but it should manage to get you relaxed! I recommend Papaloko (which is a traditional tune from Haiti), Papadambalah, Espaco Vazio

Amabilis Insania is Latin for Pleasing Madness – which is what Music stands for, and hence the title. This is where we share some of the wonderful Music that we know and some that we discover – some greater benefit from what is purely a private affair.

On Amabilis Insania, we try and cover upcoming artists/bands who give away at least some of their music for free, which helps us to listen and review and distribute their music. The other category you will find here is 'rarities' – music that was once commercially available but is not sold any more. Copyrighted music, if covered, is not available for download.

We don’t give away for free, music that was not intended to be given away for free. But if you do find some error of judgement on our part, please get in touch, if you are the copyright holder or a representative, and the material will be removed promptly.

(That is the short version - the long version is here!)

This is purely a non-commercial venture and we don’t intend to make any money out of it. But we do have to pay for the website hosting. Also we use the paid Amazon Web Services to host and distribute the mp3 files. This ensures good download speeds no matter where you are in the world.
