Latest Album "Mean Business" Released



Due to the overwhelming response to my last album, "Redemption," and equally overwhelming requests for another album, I have released my new album, "Mean Business." 
I have opted for Bandcamp for several reasons.


For the listener, they are able to listen to entire albums before opting to make a purchase. They also have the option of what sound file format they wish to download. Music downloads are a seamless affair and PayPal is one of the numerous payment options.


For the online musician, Bandcamp offers the most musical and artistic flexibility amidst an astonishing amount of online music sites. The musician can upload their sound files in mp3, aiff or WAV format. The time difference between uploading the sound file formats is minimal. Individual song file uploads can be done over whatever time-frame the musician decides and remain hidden until the day of release.


Song player widgets are available in four sizes with customizable colours. These song players fit pretty-well anywhere online. The song player at the end of this entry is my personal favourite.



To my mind, the biggest advantage with Bandcamp is the musician having the option to provide discount voucher codes for albums. During the checkout process, simply enter the provided 'codeword' to view exactly what discount applies. At this point you are under  no obligation to purchase. I've never been one to under-utilise bonuses for my fans so I do offer substantial discounts.


"Mean Business," my new album release, contains 12 tracks that I have selected based purely on stats over the last 3 years. I rarely listen to my music after I have released it. Having said this, I did listen to my new album in its entirety I was surprised at how fresh it sounds. I was also quite taken by the fact that the stats used to compile my new album release produced an album with definite 'edge' to it. 


I hope you feel the same. Feel free to check it out below. 


The discount codeword for "Mean Business" is: thistle
