Read about this earlier today:

This compilation was compiled by the Lost Children net label and The Silent Ballet, a webzine that has been in the works for quite some time. The Silent Ballet is a webzine that will focus upon instrumental and postrock artists, as well the artists that catch our attention from other genres. Its main goal is to create a stronger instrumental community across the world and to function as a portal that actively brings musicians and listeners into an open discussion. This compilation is a means to formally announce to the world the conception of The Silent Ballet. Expect it to open its doors in full functionality in Fall of 2006, if not sooner, and look to the webpage for more information as the date approaches.
The Lost Children net label seeks to distribute music created by artists with humble budgets to all corners of the globe. The cost to the audience is, of course, nothing. Lost Children does not believe that in today's technological world an artist should be unable to deliver his music to a willing listener just because he does not have suffcient label representation. Music is a joy in all of our lives and no one should be deprived of it.
The meeting of these two forces resulted in a compilation of artists pushing the instrumental and independent scenes in new and creative ways. A big thanks goes out to all the bands and labels involved in this compilations; everyone's effort is greatly appreciated.

Don't think it breaches any copyright stuff because it looks like the bands have said yes to being included on the CD. It's got some Samuel Jackson Five, Caspian, Yndi Halda and UpC DownC (all top quality bands, check out the Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood album if you want excellent instrumental music). The only shame is that the Yndi Halda song which is actually a remix that James from the band did comes in at 3:30 which is far too short in my opinion.

For any fans of post-rock it's definitely worth checking out, and includes a few lesser bands in it too so you might discover a new band that you love :p

Enjoy!
