I am a debut artist who’s just recorded one of the most expensive debut albums in recent history.

Like the artists mentioned in this article, we have just released my debut album as a FREE HQ Mp3 download.

It was a tough decision for us to make because of the vast amounts spent on the album. We had two of the biggest record producers in the world work on it…. at Peter Gabriel’s Realworld studio and at Abbey Road studio in london.

Despite all that, we recognise the massive potential the internet and free albums in particular offers. We launched last friday and have already had 1000′s of DL’s all over the world.

We are hoping that people like the album enough to come to a show, which is where hopefully my bread and butter will come from.

Come over and download for free.. it takes 2 minutes to DL because we have a dedicated server.

Whew, tough crowd. I work for grooveshark, I’d like to correct a couple misconceptions in this article:

The 99 cent song price. Not true. We’ll eventually be implementing a sliding scale for song prices based on the song’s popularity.

The scope of music we’ll have. We’ll have whatever users bring to the service.

Peer Impact. They peddle DRM. damaged goods in my book..

i will never stop using free p2p, no matter what happens i wont pay 99c for a DRMed song. since i got into torrents a few years ago i havent puchased any software music or movies since. free stuff forever!! LMFAO @ grooveshark. im not alone in thinking like this.

@Matt : from what I can read that peerimpact is giving (also) drm’ed stuff. I won’t give away my bandwidth and still get the same crappy
“3 licenses that can be used on up to 3 computers.”

moreover is windows-only (and IE only!)

Grooveshark is not that inovative
and might have to talk with the Peer Impact people over thier patented pay p2p distribution model .

hey is it going to be some gay indie bands that noone but emo’s have heard of? Or is it going to be front running labels. I don’t think so, but i’m not sure.

I like the idea but I think they need to drop the price. I don’t think 99Â¢ for a single song is a “competitive” alternative.

Wow Grooveshark sure sounds great, Itunes are too damn greedy to ever go through with anything like this, Shame about SpiralFrog though, Sure got us all quite excited.
