Notes
'Record label Ghostly International and modern cult classic programmers [adult swim] have paired up for a compilation of new music and art. A genre-busting 19-song collection, stretching the entire Ghostly International galaxy, Ghostly Swim explores the Avant-Pop style that the Ann Arbor/New York City label has been been championing for the past 9 years.'

I'm a fan of [adult swim]'s little interludes w/ music, and had been keeping an eye out for the music in case it got released in some obtainable form. Noticing this label (and it's easily accessible digital releases), I downloaded a bit, and was pleasantly surprised by this release. Not so much with the African and Def Swims, but that's for another review I suppose.
Some of this follows the instrumental hiphop standard (Dabrye, FLYamSAM), some of it's more drawn-out mellow downtempo (10:32, Milosh), some IDM (Cepia, Dark Party), chiptune? (Aeroc), and some of it's less-classifiable (Deastro, The Chap). All around good sampler for headphone oriented electronic music. Still not sure if it's the music they actually use on the TV channel, but it's close enough for the moment....
Recommended tracks: Blue Little, Light Powered, Traffickers.
