laager Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 There was a post in the 'Right This Minute' thread with a link to an album which is totally free to download, released by the artist into the wild; and free of copy restrictions: Check this out then : Peter Chilvers - Free. It really is free from http://www.peterchilvers.com/index.php I (and probably others) would be interested in links to any other albums freely available for download; any other artist, any other style. It's a convenient method to try before buying. Sometimes it's the only way to hear the album as thanks to the 'net some albums never get distributed through a label.

philipbarrett Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Glad you liked it. Nine Inch Nails have awesome product for free (http://nin.com) Firstly their latest album"The Slip" - Plus volume 1 of their 4 volume set "Ghosts" is free too. And the whole set is only $5 for 2 hours of music - If you join their remix forum (free) you can get to download stem mixes from their material & make your own remixes, lotsa fun for Mac GarageBand users.

philipbarrett Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 If you're into electronic dance music Beatport (http://www.beatport.com) has a 10 song sampler free for every new sign up, they often have other promos too. No purchase needed plus they're a great Spam-Free download site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipbarrett Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Now if you're even slightly computer savvy you can always "try before you buy" using bitTorrent software.

laager Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Now if you're even slightly computer savvy you can always "try before you buy" using bitTorrent software. Find a good introduction here - http://www.what-is-torrent.com/ I only mean freely downloadable and redistributable official releases whether using http, ftp or bitTorrent; and preferably without any signup, joining or login requirements.

skonopa Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Crawdawn - Earth, Wind, and Whatever. You can download it here. Click on the "releases" section. This is actually pretty darn good - pretty much some straight-up power metal. Stormental - Stormental: You can download it from this page. There full EP (Unleashing the Madness) is also available for download from that page as well. This is some pretty good, solid prog metal. I know there are others out there, but darn if I can remember where. I've had seen other bands offer albums for downloads, such as Crescent Shield's Last of my Kind, but only to find out they put in a voice over on top of the actual track, i.e., "this is the second track off of Crescent Shield's new album", essentially wrecking the music. Ended up getting the album off of eMusic anyway, as I did like the music. Also there was a rumor, but I have no way of confirm this, that the band Gates of Winter put an "official" leak of thier album Lux Aeterna out on torrent. Again, I have no way of proving this is indeed true, so I am not going to suggest people go out and download it willy-nilly (and if they do and like the album, at least buy the darn thing). BTW, that album does kick some serious *** though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
