B & W Society of Sound Music

I stumbled on this recently...

Basically, they produce very well recorded music across numerous genres recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios.  Anyone can get a free account good for 3 months to download a subset of each month's album (flac or alac).  You can also signup to get the full albums - 6 months @ $40, 1 year @ $60.  You get one album per month.  But right now, if you sign up, you can also download much of their back catalog.   Last night I signed up for 1 year of service and downloaded 8 or 9 albums, many of them made available in 24/48.  The catalog is not very deep (yet) but quite interesting.

Overall, the music seems quite good and not stuff you'll typically hear or be able to buy otherwise.  Definitely worth checking out.
