"Peter Gabriel founded free music service, We7 has signed a deal with Europe's largest independent music label group, Beggars Group."

From The Economist on Peter Gabriel's free music site:

"Business
Spotify v illegal downloads

Free but legal
Jul 30th 2009
From The Economist print edition

Advertising-supported music will not save a troubled industry. But it helps


CAN legal free music compete with the illegal stuff? It seems so. Firms such as Spotify, founded by Swedish programmers, and we7, based in Britain, stream music on demand to European computers in return for nothing more burdensome than the odd advertisement. Together they have quickly amassed 8m users. On March 24th Spotify asked Apple to authorise an application for the iPhone that would take music-streaming mobile."


"How it works:
This is all made possible by we7's unique and significant "MediaGraft" technology that allows us to dynamically attach adverts to the beginning of each song you stream or download. The "MediaGraft" technology also creates new, targeted, advertising inventory which links the emotional power of music, creative short audio adverts and digital display ads (such as MPUs) together in such a way that digital effectiveness measurements increase significantly. These adverts are targeted at you, the user; the revenue generated from these adverts goes to artists, labels and other rights owners. You get music for free and the artist gets paid fairly - everybody wins."

The Chi of Love CD with Audio Sample

http://www.thechioflovecd.com/index.htm

This is a nice meditation (a free sample about half way down the page - it can be replayed, since it only lasts about 8 minutes), but pricey at 20 dollars to purchase the audio file and 30 dollars for the cd; I emailed the creator and he says that the audio file and CD last about 45 minutes.



"I created this CD because I was looking for a way to improve my ability to meditate, while focusing on gratitude and love. I've learned from the experts about Unconditional Love and the Power of Gratitude. They are both keys to creating the life I truly desire and to tapping in to The Law of Attraction.

After doing more research I found a way to add an element of sound called 'Binaural Beats' that would greatly enhance my ability to change my vibration. Upon further study, I discovered the exact frequency of Love! With great excitement, I put together this CD containing all the components necessary to completely change my life."

Internet Archive - Three Meditation Tracks

http://www.archive.org/details/mt018

These 3 tracks are very nice and soothing. Internet archive is an amazing resource with a massive "open source" collection; over 6,000 Grateful Dead shows as well ;o)

Check out this page for a nice list of links to Internet libraries and free speech sites: http://www.archive.org/about/about.php

"The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library, with the purpose of offering permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format. Founded in 1996 and located in the Presidio of San Francisco, the Archive has been receiving data donations from Alexa Internet and others. In late 1999, the organization started to grow to include more well-rounded collections. Now the Internet Archive includes texts, audio, moving images, and software as well as archived web pages in our collections."



"Cosmic Lullabies is the sixth album from the Finnish ambient producer Doc and the Russian pianist Lena Selyanina, cosmic and meditative in its style and spirit.

The opening track Bell Meditation is a pure meditation song based on huge bell sounds that resonate and vibrate for extended periods of time. Gradually rising ethereal echoes from sacred eastern choral tradition mix with the bells to form a calm and majestic cosmic setting, perfect for deep relaxation and meditation.

The starting point for Neptune was Lena's beautiful impressionistic piano improvisation moving in G# Minor, "the bluest of musical modes", as Lena puts it. The piano then gets surrounded by a mysterious and meditative ambient soundworld. The entire 17 minute song can be interpreted as a long, symbolic probe-like dive through the blue, dreamlike gas layers of Neptune to ever deeper and darker realms, all the way down to the solid rock and metal core of the planet, and from there back to the starlight.

The final track Andromeda is an ambient voyage into the majestic sphere of our neighbour galaxy."
