Over the weekend, I'll be blogging (or not blogging) from Austin, TX!

So, in case that's actually not blogging, here's the first ever Astral Headspace compilation download: Astralnauts Are Go!! 15 tracks, two hours, covering this stuff I've been squawkin' about - plus more - from the best freely available music out there.

After uploading the compilation, I thought of using my mad MS Paint skills to make some cover art. So, neither of the "covers" in this post are on the download. Feel free to copy them over if you put images with your audio files.

Also, sorry about the random bitrates and volume levels. I figured it's best to use the original free promotional downloads, and they vary. Enjoy!!
