taâlem's aim is quite simple : exploring the different sides of ambient music through 3"cd-r's (and more recently through FLAC files).
as we're tired of ultra-limited & ultra-expensive releases, taâlem discs are unlimited editions sold for a cheap price (5 euros + postage for the physical releases, 3.50 euros for the digital ones).
as long as the demand exists, each release is available.
packaging is simple: a full-coloured printed mini-disc in its lovely jewel slim-case with an informative sticker on the back. that's all: no cover, no poster, no tacky badge. digital files come with an artwork (.jpg) file and an info (.txt) file.
here's the complete list of the artists featured on taâlem:
