Hi thanks again for your message
We have for some time been looking at ways to make all of our music available free but we do need to make money to eat, sleep, and be happy.TuneSquare is a new ad-supported music download service that lives somewhere in between the world of illegal P2P sites and paid services like iTunes and Rhapsody.We have made all of the tracks from our debut CD Sonic Spells available as free downloads from TuneSquare. When you download our music we are paid a small fee but it is all based on the amount of downloads an Artist generates so the more people that visit our profile at TuneSquare and download our tracks the more money we get paid and you get our debut CD Sonic Spells FREE!There is no registration and no other catches we get a small fee each time one of our songs is downloaded, so if this works it will enable us to allow free downloads of all of our music past and future, and we will still make some money, but we do need to get a lot of downloads to make it work so please help us by downloading our music and also help us to spread the word and tell all of your friends.To download tracks click on this link http://clingmusic.co.uk/html/free_music.html and follow the instructions.By downloading our music FREE from TuneSquare you are supporting us, every little helps and will enable us to make our future releases available free.
