In, Why I created Magnatune Records, John Buckman explains a bit about why he put together a music label with the motto "We are not evil." This is a surprisingly well realized site with nice, open format downloads including MP3, CD-quality WAV, OGG, FLAC and MP3-VBR. The music is varied (not all electronica) for instance "Very Large Array," for melodic rock or Jay Kishor to get your raga on.
Magnatune was born out of some observations I'd gathered about the music industry, along with personal experiences from my wife releasing her CD on a British record label.Posted by bill at June 3, 2004 01:28 PM
