Today, now that I've left behind the English exam for which I sat last Friday, I found myself with enough time to try downloading and installing Soul Seek. And did it really well. I have already downloaded a song, the 12 inch version of I Could Be Happy by Altered Images (which I had been looking for for ages). I've already heard it on my stereo and it sounds great. I hope to discover a lot of "new" bands trough this site. So, I've got to thank Pellerman for recommending me that site. I owe you big time.

It'a all about sharing Silvina. I have been introduced to a lot of great bands via this board I was all but unfamilar with in the 80s, like Dramarama. If you don't mind some power pop. I would reccomend them.

You're quite welcome. Soulseek is a must have for anyone collecting the less well known bands.

Here's another place to check out. This site lists the top 100 year end countdowns for stations like KROQ, WLIR, etc that specialized in playing New Wave / Alternative.

This are my first downloads from soulssek
Songs:
Altered Images- I Could Be Happy (extended mix)
Altered Images- Pinky Blue (extended mix)-I already knew this versions since I heard them on Youtube sometime ago and I really wanted to have them.
Altered Images- Bring Me Closer (extended mix)-I had never heard it before and I quite like it.
Altered Images- Pinky Blue (Peel Session)-I never heard this one either but I downloaded it as I wanted to konw how AI were live
Madness- Our House (live, Mad Not Mad Tour)-It's my favourite Madness song and I wanted to have a live version of it.
U2- Pride (live)
U2- The Unforgettable Fire (live)- this two are my favourite singles by U2 and I wanted to know how they sounded live.
U2- Love Comes Tumbling
U2- Everlasting Love
U2- Spanish Eyes- I hadn't heard this 3 songs in ages and I had forgotten how good they were until I saw them in a list of U2 songs today.

Videos:
Altered Images- Don't Talk To Me About Love- My favourite AI single. I dowloaded it yesterday just to see how the site works.
U2- The Unforgettable Fire- Just because it isn't on Youtube.

Now I have something to do: start searching for the stuff I don't know on Youtube and then download it.

I've just dowloaded 2 albums: Pinky Blue by Altered Images and Rhythm Breaks The Ice by Bette Bright And The Illuminations.
It's been 2 years since I discovered Altered Images and I could never download any of their albums until now. I listened it on my ipod while I went for a walk and I quite enjoyed it. My favourite songs so far are Forgotten, Think That It Might and Jump Jump (maybe it's because they all sound very similar to Pinky Blue, which I love.
As far as the Bette Bright album goes, I heard the songs years ago on Youtube but could never download the album either. (I discovered her as I'm a big Madness fan and as some of you might know she's married to Suggs). I havn't listened to the album yet (I'm a bit more excited about the Pinky Blue album), I might do it tonight.
