ESP is proud to announce its first sampler of new artists in over thirty years.   We've chosen the best tracks from artists who follow the ESP tradition with groundbreaking,  mind-blowing music that continues to shock and excite.

Paul Bley fans will relate to the beautiful melodies laid down by Chris Speed, Chris Cheek & Stephane Leibovici on their album Jugendstil. If you liked the Rounders' folky roots filtered through pyschedelic manic, then listen to Yximalloo's Donovan cover inverted into an electronica-glitchy pop song.

The ESP New Artist Sampler 2008 features Lindha Kallerdahl, Yuganaut, Totem>, Yximalloo, Chris Speed/Chris Cheek/Stephane Furic Leibovici, and Barnacled. Their records were released to rave reviews and here they are in one compilation for you to enjoy!
