Unfortunately our society has us thinking that things only have value if they have a price tag attached to them. I will admit that there was a time when I was leery of bands on Bandcamp who were either offering up their music for free or giving us the option to pay what we want. I have learned that I can no longer judge a band by how they choose to get their music out there. It's a very different musical landscape out there than it was a decade ago.Originally Posted by Steve F.

I appreciate that OSC makes a lot of their music available for free download. As I said, the MBTW album at first seemed quite similar to the free OSC music (and yes, given a choice between getting something for free or paying or it I'd usually go with free) but if you finish reading my brief post you see that after listening to the album I felt it was actually very well done and worthwhile.
Not sure why I had to explain that...
You didn't have to explain anything Jed. Your meaning was quite clear.

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
But my post had nothing to do with the value of music, it had to do with if I needed more of this type of music. And it turned out I did, because it's a very good album!
