It seems to be the big hit in news on the internet at the moment with thousands and thousands of people downloading the track “Killing In The Name” by Rage Against The Machine and joining the Facebook group to try to stop the X Factor winner from having a number one this Christmas and it may just happen! But how about an alternative, how about an artist that you may all know and read their blog, me

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while now will also now that I have a music project Remergence, over on the Remergence blog I have posted about an offer of a free album download.

So I thought I would post a bit of blatant promo to let everyone know about the classic release for free, the album is called “Wide Open Space” and was release some years back, but it still sounds fresh today, the album consists of 11 tracks and 3 bonus tracks.

So if you would like a copy then stop by our Electronica Music blog and grab yourself a copy

Those of us that have upgraded to the latest incarnation of iTunes may of noticed that the option to upgrade previously purchased tracks to the iTunes Plus versions has disappeared from the iTunes music store page.

Some users do have the option in the iTunes store page at the top right of the screen under quick links and others don’t, some can even get the option back by signing out of their account and then signing back in again, but for the majority of iTunes users the link to the iTunes Plus Upgrade page has gone, never to return.

If you do want to find the page to upgrade your previously purchased iTunes store tracks then simply follow this link to the iTunes Plus Upgrade page and you can then be able to upgrade your tracks to that better quality.

Hope this helps

So you love music and you have a big collection of track on your iTunes or a mass of CDs in your collection, but what about some amazing mashups free!

This is probably a question that a lot of people are asking these days, what with the recession going on and lack of money in our pockets.

So how do you get your hands on music from the internet that is legal to download?

A great way to artist that you enjoy is to be a member of Last.FM, on the home page when you are logged in you’ll see down towards the bottom of the page a “Free Downloads” section, this will have a selection of free legal music downloads that your favourite artists have available for your to download, now I’m not saying you’ll get free tracks from top artists all the time, but you’ll certainly get a good collection of tracks to download….

Another fantastic place for free music, if your quick, is Amie Street, I personally use Amie Street a lot myself and you can get new releases from some of the top artists, but with the big names you have to be quick, as an example: I downloaded the new Crystal Method album Divided by Night for the crazy cost of around $2 yes that right, but within minutes the price had shot up.

But Amie Street is also great for discovering new artists and their releases are also free, the system works in a way that all releases are free until they get popular and then the price goes up gradually, so been first in is ideal, I would highly recommend Amie Street.

There are of course other sites out there that are similar, but these are the main two that I use to get my hands on some excellent music for free and for a fraction of the cost of other retailers.

I found this album by complete accident while surfing around Amie Street and it’s one of those albums that the more your listen the more you hear.

The Album is called Closing to the Horizon and is by The Nexion-Project, it’s in the electronica genre and believe me it’s an amazing album,  but don’t just take my word for it, check out some of the tracks below to hear for yourself, as I type this post the whole album is still FREE so if you like it get over to Amie Street and grab a copy as soon as you can

I found this track on Amie Street the other day and gave it a good recommendation, but I thought I’d share it with my readers, the track is called Delirio Coletivo (Supa Funky Mix) and is by Hard Mix!.

I’m not usually one for house music, but after hearing this track I just had to download it to listen on my iPod.

Anyway check it out below and if you like it download it
