B&W (the speaker company) has launched a 'music club' with Peter Gabriel. They record a different artist every month, in Mr. Gabriel's Real World studios, and you get to download the files for about $67 a year, or $47 a half year. The recordings are supposed to be high-qualilty (like the speakers, eh?), and the files are uncompressed and DRM-free. And they're only available through this service for a month, after which point the recordings go back in ownership to the artists (no big-time corporate label is B&W!).

The current album, by Little Axe, sounds like some decent blues with a bit of dubby production. The next album from Grindhouse (mondo cane) sounds like it might be interesting.
