Recommendation for good music
Read here a list of music which I listen to and recommend (see the rating in the list). Unfortunately, the list is very outdated. Several bands and projects of the latest years are still missing, especially the many new discovered bands and projects found at myspace, last.fm and other portals.... maybe the list will be updated soon ... maybe.
By the way, you can download my own music for free at the tinopener's music. Of course, this music definitively is good :)
