I used to log on to Napster in school where I could listen to the entire cd, but couldn't copy anything.

A Spock's Beard fan website had all the tracks, but only 3/4's of each track, thus gave an idea of what the cd sounded like.
 
Are there any websites like this?
 
REASON: I bought King Crimson's Islands, Fates Warning's Disconnected, Spock's Beard's the Light, Rhapsody's Symphony of Enchanted Lands because of this.
 
On the other hand, I didn't purchase some other cds because while the video, or sample song on their website may have been good, the rest of the songs were not.

Hi guys,

I changed the layout of my page:

Looks much better now, and I added the submission form to the page. I'd be glad for any additions!

CREDO,
 
Credo offer 4 full tracks, because of memory restrictions the tracks are at 96kbps. The site is the official Credo My Space.
The page can be found at http://www.myspace.com/credogb 
 
If you haven't had the chance to listen to them this is a great introduction Clap
 
Prog On

Wow, you have quite a list there. Very useful, thanks very much!

The site of Narrow Pass offers two songs from the album A Room of Fairy Queen's.
http://www.narrowpass.net/album/album.html
The two songs are less than 128 kbps.

Go to the band's PA page and click the "official website" link, they'll be somewhere on there.

I've seen Mike's list and I must congratulate him on it, as I've discovered a few more bands to add to my wants list.  It's very extensive.

He obviously has put in a lot of work into this list too and still keeps adding too it.

Your's is a fine site Mike, by all means link to it in this thread.Wink

 



Somehow this doesn't sit right with me ... I suggested this over a year ago, then my website is offering this and ignored for the most part, and finally you're attempting to build such a list as a forum thread because M@x is too busy to implement it properly?

Well, maybe I should leave altogether. Is there a way to delete one's forum account? I found no such function in the settings dialogs ...


I kind of agree with Mike here. The list in his site has been there for some time now and alot of people didn't even looked at them. It's actually kind of sad putting alot of effort into something and people just passing it by like it never existed.

Fairly extensive free list, however, i wouldn't download any of that stuff mentioned.
 
Is it any surprise none of the big guns are in there?

Bigelf actually have two complete albums available for download, not just for one, plus some a few odd full length tracks from EPs.

If you visit Echolyn's website they offer at least one full song(mostly 2)for free download from each of their albums and various side project albums.

You can also download their live album Jersey Tomato for free,the whole album,which includes Mei performed in it's entirety.
