Selections From Amazon.com's Best of 1999 Editors' Poll Many of the artists currently available for your downloading pleasure have albums selected by Amazon.com's editorial staff as being one of this year's 100 best. They include:
Freakwater On "End Time," the core trio of Freakwater build on their string-band musical foundation by adding an assortment of electric instruments, drums, and at times a small string section. You can download "Good for Nothing" from the new record plus the unreleased cut "Hellbound," each in its entirety and exclusively at Amazon.com. Go to download
Moby Did you catch techno genius Moby's smoking performance of "Natural Blues" on the October 15 broadcast of "The Late Show with David Letterman"? Whether you did or not, Amazon.com has a free, high-quality, exclusive digital download of this breakthrough performance. In addition, you can also download "Flying Foxes," an outtake from Moby's latest CD, "Play." On "Play," the celebrated electronic musician grafts new beats onto old moans, sampling midcentury African American field recordings and early '80s hip-hop, then subtly adding layers of electronic sound and new, playful beats.

Radar Bros. The mesmerizing, low-energy songs of the Radar Bros. have a dreamy, drifting quality, but they refuse to merely float away, grounded as they are by ghostly, sublime melodies and meticulous attention to detail. You can sample their new record, "The Singing Hatchet," by downloading two cuts for free. Go to download
Tom Waits "Mule Variations" continues Tom Waits's string of recordings that are simultaneously avant-garde and arcane. It also marks the inscrutable songsmith's return to album-making after five years of soundtrack and stage work. You can download two Waits tracks from "Mule Variations," "Hold On" and the rare "Buzz Fledderjon." Go to download
Aluminum Group With a contemporary orchestral rock sound spiced with smoldering, smart, and darkly personal takes on romance, Chicago's Aluminum Group are masters of a lush, sophisticated pop sound. You can download the seductively upbeat "Impress Me" and the suave and swinging "Miss Tate" from their latest release, "Pedals." Go to download
Perla Batalla Exciting talent Perla Batalla's second album, "Mestiza," is a breathtaking and deeply soulful album steeped in the Latino folk-pop tradition of Los Angeles. You can download the songs "Morning Star" and "Camino a Santiago" to discover an emerging star that's sure to meet with widespread acclaim in the near future. Go to download
Steve Lacy Legend has it that Steve Lacy inspired John Coltrane to pick up the unwieldy soprano sax in the early '60s. Since then, Lacy has built a reputation as a horn thinker of the highest order. On "The Rent," Lacy brings his trio to Portland, Oregon, for a night of inspired blowing. You can get a taste by downloading the song, "Gospel." Go to download
Sorten Muld Denmark's Sorten Muld dress Nordic folk music with ribbons of frosty trip-hop and other understated electronica textures that complement the traditional folk elements rather than overwhelm them. Crystalline vocalist Ulla Bendixen sings stories of myth and mysticism in both English and Danish. You can download the songs "The Man and the Elf-Girl" and "2 Sisters" from their latest release, "Mark II." Go to download

And from our New Music Spotlight:
Nina Hynes Dubliner Nina Hynes develops an imaginary musical world out of stark Björk-like lyricism and a wash of eclectic, otherworldly instrumentation on her album "Creation." Like a vivid dream you're not sure was a nightmare or a lovely fantasy, it's an unshakable, beautiful release. Download the track "This Magic Stuff," an irresistible love song from her debut EP.
Nadine Fans of Neil Young, Gram Parsons, and Uncle Tupelo will find much to like on Nadine's "Downtown, Saturday," an emotionally mature and inquisitive record that's both haunting and soothing. The beautiful song "Closer" is available for you to sample right now at Amazon.com.
