Moon-Rays for your midwinter creep

Couple creepy tracks from the moon-rays! Also, some stuff from Quartetto Cetra One of the nice things about music in foreign languages is that you don't need to know what the song is about in order to enjoy it and at least for me, that's what Quartetto Cetra provides

New Tracks

  • The Moon Rays - The Grim Creeper
  • The Moon Rays - The Ghouls Go West
  • Quartetto Cetra - Un Bacio a Mezzanotte

    Going Commercial Free! (if we can..)

    You may have noticed a few little glitches lately, this is because we're switching to relay mode and doing a lot of technical stuff. (should be ready soon though!)

    Advantages

    • Commercial Free!
    • More Music
    • More flexibility!
    Of course, there are a few disadvantages too. Technical issues - we're doing a lot of the same stuff live365 would have done, but we're working on it!

    Low Bandwidth or Better Sound?

    Quick question, do you prefer lower bandwidth or higher quality sound? We're hoping to make more music available (commercial free even!) if it pans out, there's a choice between "cd quality" but 128k or the current lower bandwidth 56k. Personally, I kind of like the 56k sound and can't tell much difference. Now is your chance to speak up! less filling or crisp(er) sound?
