This is a place for music maniacs who wants to discover new, highly original bands by listening to album samples in real audio format. There are plenty of bands around the world who understands the necessity of creating new styles of music, but due to some circonstances, they never end up in your ears. As a matter of facts, commercial radio and tv station turns their back to those kind of band, and prefer broadcasting old or sure-to-be-a-hit stuff. By doing so, they stop the evolution of music witch is supposed to be a source of constant renewal of styles and sounds. I've search the web to find places like this page, but my searchs were in vain, so I've decide to build one myself. This page is far from being complete and since I constantly discover new bands, I don't think it will be someday.

-------------------->STATEMENT<--------------------
The primary goal of this page is NOT to sell cds, but to let you have the chance to listen to many unpopular bands. But, I you do feel like buying those cds online, do it from my site if you want to help me. I get a small percentage from cdnow, so, every once in a while, I can buy another cd from them and put more samples on this site. I don't rely on my sale to buy new cds (I sell about 3 albums a years!). Also, please note that those samples are often huge (+10 min) so they need a long buffer time (up to 5 min) in order to play them. If it starts to buffer, wait a bit, do something else and the sample WILL be playing soon enough.

-------------------->IMPORTANT<--------------------
All audio files in this page are in real audio so, in order to lisent to those samples, you need to get Real Player from Real Network. You can get a copy of the latest version totaly free by clikcing here.
