The B&W 'club' especially looks interesting.

Well, after shuckin' and jivin' for nearly a month and then sampling the current EP (they have a trial with three EPs over three months - no CC requested), I signed up for the B&W annual membership (ALAC/FLAC) today. If anyone has any questions in the future feel free to ask. Hopefully be some good stuff. All recorded at Peter Gabriels studio. Current Bossa Nova disc by Julianna Raye sounds really nice. Still a few days to sample that EP if anyone wants.

From site:

* B&W commissions each artist with the creative guidance of our partners at Real World [studios].

* [b&W] then pay that artist an advance and finances the creation of the recording, and associated content, at Real World Studios.

* Each album [b&W] commissions is offered for one month as part of the B&W Music Club.

* Following an additional month, the rights to the album returns to the artist, who is then free to arrange a more traditional release deal with anyone they choose.
