Thanks!

(I have this thing about free music, so I listened, but didn't keep it. Thank you very much for going to the trouble!)

:) No trouble. And I understand. I actually pretty much do the same thing. I tend to provide a lot of tracks though (primarily tracks rather than albums) because I have a lot of stuff that a lot of people will never hear otherwise, and I've had lots of friends hear things from me and go out and buy the albums after, so it seems like a win-win thing.

The album, if you want to track it down, is called "Songs from the Cold Seas" or "Chansons des Mers Froides," by Hector Zazou. It actually has lots of wonderful stuff on it. The Lena Villemark song, the Varttina song and the Catherine-Anne McPhee song are all favourites of mine. In more well-known names, in addition to Suzanne Vega and John Cale, there's a Jane Siberry song, a Bjork song and a Siouxsie Sioux song.
