With the ever-evolving audioscape in the Philippine music scene, Bratpack brings to you “Freeplay,” CD featuring today's breed of independent Filipino musicians.

For every single-receipt purchase of P2500, one could get a free CD.

The compilation of nine electronic indie pop tracks also feature artists with considerable mainstream experience such as Diego Mapa (of Pedicab fame) and Zach Lucero (drummer for pop-rock band Imago and ex-jock for rock station NU107)

Audiophiles will thoroughly enjoy this eclectic compilation – like, for instance, the duo of My Parasol in their hushed, subdued tones open the album with “Spacetalk,” a dream pop track with its trademark meek, melodious singing and passive beats with electronic slashes; while Couchlab's “I'm Just So Happy” sounds like a Korean video game background music at first – but the imposing bass and sustained treble sequence turns it into an electronic mosaic – like a bohemian rhapsody of sorts.

Then there's also ex-punk drummer Spazzkid and the velvety sound of Techy Romantics in a track called “Nightout” -- rough, callous orchestra hits with dreamy chimes and a quirky declaration of love muffled by synths. Spazzkid eventually pines over a lost love with a rushed, almost asthmatic, staccato of beats and subtly steely vocals in “I Left My Heart.” The Techy Romantics get on the floor and dazzle with their club-like brand of electronica and a foxy, subdued female voice with “Photos Fade.”

The compilation manifests its contrasts through Techisoba's “The Unstoppable,” an aggressive instrumental with searing synthesizers, and Arigato Hato's “Mmm” which, on the other hand, drizzles with cool, clammy celesta notes and a hoarse female singing leading to a persistent bass and the unceasing plucking of the guitar – breathy and breathless all at the same time.

Eggboy's “Sana,” while maintaining that indie vibe, sounds more like a down tempo track from a 90s Pinoy rock band. After all, Eggboy is none other than Diego Mapa himself. He also remixed Zach Lucero's single “Matina Town Square” featuring Sarah Marco on vocals, giving the syrupy original a harder, grittier edge.
