And this Century Media Presents: From the Vault Sampler is also available for free from Amazon (in the US). I know that at least some of the bands on this release are represented here on PA.

That's getting annoying now.

Oh, sorry, I'll keep my mouth shut then

All my currently-available albums are available for free download as zip files.

Of the ones that would be of interest to Prog Archive folks, the Quiet Earth Orchestra self-titled album (reviewed on here) would be one I'd recommend. The other one (World Without Words) is more of a kind of borderline lo-fi worldbeat sort of thing, but has it's moments.

Of the remaining 5 albums, there are elements of prog mixed in with a lot of other influences...if you have a broad range of musical tastes you may enjoy them, but the only one that would appeal to most purists would be the aforementioned Quiet Earth Orchestra (self-titled) album.

Enjoy!

They're here:

http://www.ratingfreak.com/home/music/websites.xhtml

129 links, and more than 700 complete songs. I think that more than 50% of them can be downloaded, some are streaming only. But I'd rather have 128kbps streaming than a lo-fi download.

The site of Narrow Pass offers two songs from the album A Room of Fairy Queen's.
http://www.narrowpass.net/album/album.html
The two songs are less than 128 kbps.

Steve Hackett's website (www.stevehackett.com) has a big list of MP3 downloads - click on "MP3 Jukebox".

Harrison's download (only 1, I'm afraid) is a rare track from the Futile promo disc, Orchadia, which is worth the listen. Bruford has 4, being a more established drummer, including Roundabout and Beelzebub. While you're there, take a look around, it's a really well constructed site.
