Re my post on ELP on 7 Sep 07, WE7 is the legal (UK based) site launched by Peter Gabriel earlier this year. Each song has an advert "grafted" onto the first 10 seconds (although as the site is currently in "Beta" mode, the advert is only a WE7 promo at this stage).

Presumably it's not free then?

It depends how you define "free" - it certainly costs nothing for the downloader to download, so long as you don't mind a 10 second advert/promo at the start of each track. Certainly this is an unusual concept, and it remains to be seen how successful it is and how long it lasts.

It still seems odd. Why would ELP allow a site to simply give away their music. Do you get the complete song? What format is the download, is it protected in any way? What's in it for ELP?

I completely agree as I was astounded when I saw everything available. Actually, I already own every ELP studio album on CD, so I just downloaded some live tracks from "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends" - yes, you get the entire track and the quality is good (192 kbps). There is no DRM attached to the files. (I entered an earlier post regarding other Prog albums on WE7 - the same applies). Perhaps someone from admin could lodge an enquiry with the WE7 administrators to how this came about (nothing is mentioned on the official ELP site, but I don't know how up to date this is).

Cheers Steve, many thanks for popping by to clear that up!

I'm on We7 and I see no ELP.

HI Guys

I have checked and it was right, we have rights for ELP in almost every region of the world except US (sorry hopefully soon) taht is why you cannot see them. What would you prefer seeing tracks that we have but have them greyed out and cannot download them in regions we do not have distribution rights or leave it as we have now which is only show you the tracks that we have rights for in your region?

We7 - Free, Safe and Legal Music

Anathema have an upcoming album, to be released later this year entitled Everything. 2 free mp3 downloads are available at their official site http://www.anathema.ws/ ,

One instantly obvious thing about their new music is a sharp lyrical turn from messages of desperation, depression and hopelesness to signals of hope and positivity. Though the music, based on the free mp3s, remain slow, dark and melodic. (think Judgement and Alternative 4)

A note from their site reads:

- change and growth on a personal level is a very healthy thing..

to move on from the past, to new broader horizons is a beautiful experience.. to find the power of forgiveness.. to open the gateway to love, as i call it.. to love and forgive yourself, and others, in your life and find it is a pathway to inner peace.. to see all of creation manifested in the song of a bird or the sound of the wind.. to recognise your own soul within yourself and see it reflected in all nature and all the people around you, is humbling and empowering in equal measure.. to recognise that you ARE life and that the energy that you came from is everywhere, in everything.. to be able to trust in the process in life and see your future filled with potential.. to give spare change to a man in the street after walking past him every day for 6 months.. or just even to reach out to others instead of judging them.. to recognise that other people are only doing the best with the knowledge and awareness they have.. to experience a change within and to recognise the spark of truth in you.. that you are capable of wonderful, amazing things, or even just beautiful, ordinary things... that is the paradigm shift.

I myself is excited for the release of the album. Everything is sooooooooooo lovely. Worth downloading.
