I always say that you find the neatest things on the internet by accident. Last week, for example, I stumbled upon Indiecater Records, a little record label releasing compilations and deleted indie albums on-line for insanely low prices (€3.50 for albums, €4.50 for compilations). Better still, you can have a listen to the albums in their entirety before you fork over anything, using a flash-based player on the site.
After checking out some tracks, I really took a shine to "Friday Night" by The Brilliant Trees and decided to grab it. The album came in a RAR file, which I thought was a bit unusual, at least for a legal download ;) . Inside you get the tracks as 256kbps DRM-free MP3s, plus JPEGs of the front, back and sleeve of the album. I'm not sure if the images are at a high enough resolution to print, but they're nice to have anyway. The album itself is great, sounding kind of like a cross between The Super Furry Animals and The Stone Roses. I especially like the opening track, "The Perfect Crime".
Overall, I'm really impressed by my first experience with the site and with such good value on offer, I'll definitely be back for more soon.

Awwhhh, reading stuff like you've written there makes it all worthwhile. Thanks.
Oh, we've just released a Christmas album, for the time of year that's in it!
Nice compilation! The Nina Hynes track is just amazing.
Hopefully it'll get me through the full horror of putting up the decorations this week. :D
