So as I was browsing Music Industry articles, I came across one on billboard.biz which sparked my attention immensely. The title read UK Newspaper To Offer Free Sigor Ros CD. Apparently, the Icelandic band gave away a CD in the January 31st Issue of the newspaper the Independent. The CD does not contain any new music but has track's from Sigor Ros' previous three albums and it is titled, "We Pay Endlessly".
This seems to be becoming a patter with artists. Much like how Price gave away "Planet Earth" and Radiohead allowed fans to choose their price for "In Rainbows", Sigor Ros is now going with the free music trend. Hey, if it's going to be downloaded illegally anyway, why not give it away for free for promotion? Nothing is better to sell than something free.
