Ladies and Gentlemen we have the great honour and pleasure of announcing that our entire musical catalogue is now online for you to download for free!!

We hope you enjoy this adventure with us and help us to distribute our music throughout the world, we allow you to copy, share, upload, download and spread our music as far and wide as you possibly can.

As you may be aware this will provide us with no money for the 'sale' of our online music and so we have included a voluntary donation button on the site, so you can add your own value to it if you so wish!


Don't forget you can still buy our beautiful 12" Picture Disc 'Autumn Burrows' directly from us via http://say.bigcartel.com (http://say.bigcartel.com/) or from

Ocarina, 40 Albert Road, Colne, Lancashire, BB8 0AD.

There are a couple of bands stepping into this territory and we all appear to be doing it in sync which is quite magical...

...so here's to a new musical revolution and the beginning of the end for the traditional 'Music Industry'.

We love you!!!

Hi Mr. Moon,
I am a musician and songwriter and I have just completed recording an album which will be released in Feb.
Interesting concept and very brave of you guys to pioneer it!
Not sure if it could work for me and my band, we are in debt up to our eyeballs, its been an expensive venture!
Do you guys have good jobs? how do you pay for your studio? promotion? cd's/vinyl?

I only think it would work if every aspect of the process of recording, producing, promoting and living! were on the same tip, as in Free with donations if you value the work done!

Then we could all write, record, rehearse, tour,(thats work!) pay for and repair equipment and instruments, eat and have our own decent home to return to, to rest and enjoy life like everybody else, this is I believe is the best vision.
Sounds ideal to me but how would serious musicians pay for this, in this present reality?:confused:

Faith is one thing that individuals can have but to expect a whole entourage of musicians, technicians, producers, music shops, promoters and writers to see the light is a little tricky.

I have never wanted to work in the system, I always have aspired to work in music have mostly done this, as a result I have no assets and very few possessions and have had to rely on the good will of many to complete this project, and it has come into being eventually!
However I do believe that this issue of money will be around for a little while yet, but well done to you for getting the ball rolling I hope that your listeners donate generously, because you deserve it your songs are great!
keep us/me posted! You never know we might join you!!:eek:
thanks :)

ONE LOVE

Cheers man xxx

In answer to your question about jobs... hehe... none of us have em!! We haven't been getting paid for gigs, we do our own recording and try our best to release things ourselves. Promotion we do ourselves too. It's tough. Tiring but worth every breath xxx

You do it the way you feel you should be doing it and that's that really- if you feel you need the Industry to make money from what you're doing, then from my 10 years of experience, you'll be compromising every step of the way... unless of course you are prepared to make little money from an equally as determined small indie label. But then you're in the industry again!!

All i can say to you my friend is do what you feel is the best for you because if it makes you happy and joyful... then it's the right thing :):)

Lots of Love
