clipped from: www.guardian.co.uk No one these days seems keen to pay for music on the internet. But what if someone offered you 10 remarkable songs, 10 songs vouched to be once, twice, three times terrific – and by artists you had never heard of. Better still, what if the whole collection cost just £1 – less than the bus fare into town to buy a new CD.
Well, that's the concept behind Ten Tracks, a website launched this month by music lovers, DJs and journalists in Scotland. For just £1 per month – or £10 per year – visitors can download a "bundle" of 10 great songs. The artists are drawn from undiscovered, emerging and established talent, particularly in Scotland, with no fewer than three post-Beta Band projects (The Aliens, Black Affair and King Biscuit Time) contributing to the inaugural month.
