One of the albums (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001RUMS4S?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=carsonballsal-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001RUMS4S\">Open Remix<\/a>) is a remix sampler, which, as its name implies, contains remixes.  Three of the albums are promotional samplers from lesser know labels: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B002D3KA9I?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=carsonballsal-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002D3KA9I\">Arts &amp; Crafts &#8211; 2009 Label Sampler<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0029E471S?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=carsonballsal-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0029E471S\">Ropeadope Label Sampler<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001W4N866?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=carsonballsal-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001W4N866\">Barsuk Records: 2009 Amazon Digital Sampler<\/a>.  Another of the offerings is called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00274DZMM?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=carsonballsal-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00274DZMM\">Be On The Lookout!<\/a> and, I assume &#8211; given the title &#8211; contains songs by new artists; I have not heard of any of the artists so, if nothing else, they are new to me.  As mentioned, the final album is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0029YBME8?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=carsonballsal-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0029YBME8\">Amazon Comedy Sampler [Explicit]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t had a chance to listen to most of these so far.  In fact, I am only about 3\/4 of the way through the &#8220;Arts &amp; Crafts 2009 Label Sampler&#8221; &#8211; which is the first one that I started listening to.  I am pretty impressed with this album so far though.  There have been a couple of tracks that just didn&#8217;t appeal to me, but, for the most part, it has been an enjoyable listen.<\/p>\n<p>I strongly recommend downloading these.  Who knows, you may discover your new favorite musician.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?x-id=97fb6c0c-9545-4788-9dac-a3064a548e47\" \/><span class=\"zem-script more-related pretty-attribution\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.zemanta.com\/readside\/loader.js\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon just released six new free sampler CD&#8217;s for download.
