(sorry for the late entry here. but the very day I was about to
suggest this, the site I wanted to recommend --
http://www.modsquare.com -- went down to move to a different server.
they're finally back up...)
Scott,
There are three sampler albums published by the Chicago-based
Modsquare netlabel: "Ctrl-F2", "Ctrl-Space", and "Ctrl-N". All three
predominantly feature music done on laptop (with the occasional
oddball cut -- like Bitshifter or Johnny Square, who both do music on
Gameboy's).
The best part is, they're all free (albeit it's a ~70 meg download
for each full album).
You can get them either via Modsquare's front page, or directly at:
http://www.modsquare.com/music.php
Relatedly, while you're there, you might want to surf around to the
audio and video sections for the Laptop Cage Matches. These were a
series of events here combining Laptronica with pro-wrestling-style
cage matches. Makes a nice change from most of the performance
criticisms levelled at "tablecore". ;)
