I came across your blog after reading an article in The Guardian, Thursday September 25, 2003.

Whilst the music industry is sorting itself out, we decided to facilitate our service directly and simply, via our own blog-based website. We have been amazed by the interest this has generated, and as such, have seen the site visits increase dramatically over the last few months.

In the meantime, we are intending to further our exposure as an independent record label through Apple's Music Store, which have been extremely supportive.

Your comments, support and suggestions are all welcome.

Kind regards,

Jason Moore
Label Founder
Urbantorque Records (UK)

it looks interesting but free samples at 24 kbps? bad idea if i can speak frankly. it's just too low to hear anything special. i know offering higher kbps samples means less incentive to buy the higher rate but you gotta go higher than 24 kbps, i mean come on.

Thanks for your response.

If we offer high sample rates, we can only offer a short sample of each track (30 secs) as with Apple Music Store. At low quality, we can preview the entire track, so you can get a feel for it. There are pros and cons each way...

We will however be reviewing this, based on demand and comments from your good selves. Perhaps the subject of a new poll, methinks..!
