Tired of sifting through album after album of pop music to find something new and interesting?
Here's an instrumental album that might curl your toes.

You Buy From Me is the latest release from Lewis Melville, in cooperation with Lyn Vasey of Thailand, and Dave Clark (formerly of the Rheostatics) and the Woodchoppers Association. This album is one the first recorded releases that represents an increasingly popular movement in new music: Freestyle musical improvisation.

 Over thirty of Canada's best freestyle musicians, representing bands like Son, Guh, Needy Fingers, Dinner is Ruined, Toronto Tabla Ensemble, Flashlight, Klave y Kongo, Afons Fear Trio, Brodie West Group, Benji, Crowsfeet, and Possum  joined forces to create these 18 compositions.

The assembled orchestra includes a horn section, multiple drummers and percussion, and a wide assortment of conventional and exotic electric and acoustic instruments.

The music ranges from straight up jazz to acoustic country blues, to ear crunching rock-and-blues funk to spaced out psychedelic dreamscapes that include live sampling and dub poetry subtexture. You Buy From Me retains all  the energy,  spontaneity, and excitement of the dynamic live performances of the original recording session.

This album is a benefit album, and all the proceeds go towards relief in Cambodia through the Red Cross, and other relief organizations.
