MP3 REVIEW: The Clam "Into The Echo"

The Clam "Into The Echo"
40 SEK to Download // Free to Stream

            The first time I opened this link, these eight songs were “40 SEK” to download.  Now, as I’m back here a few days later, they have gone down to “30 SEK” to download.  I’m not sure what the conversion is for U.S. Dollars, but I don’t really care.

            After doing a google search (I despise ignorance), I found out that 40 SEK is equal to roughly $6.12.  Lowering that down to 30 SEK makes it about $4.59.  

            This music isn’t bad, but it is ambient and self described as being experimental and low budget.  Typically, those releases come with a “pay what you want” attitude but not this one.

            No, this one makes you do a foreign exchange conversion so you can say that you won’t download this album for even four U.S. dollars when there are so many other equally as good (or better) pieces of music out there along these same lines.  Also, if this was available as a cassette or vinyl then we could talk monies, but as it stands right now as a download, well, I have to pay for a blank CD and case already, so this should be a free download (or name your price).
