Magnatune: a new biz model

Sorry for the long pause in this batch of releases! Let me explain.

Magnatune has once again changed business models. Back when we launched in 2003, we sold albums. Slowly, that business model "went away" as Amazon and iTunes took that over, and then we switched to a monthly membership system. Spotify and Apple Music have largely taken that over now too. So now, Magnatune is selling itself as a huge music library, which you buy one time for $299, and then you have lifetime, unlimited access to it, including all new album releases.

If you have an existing membership, we'll continue to honor it, don't worry!

Our 6 new albums:

  • Aryeh Frankfurter: In Their Footsteps - World
    Timeless and enchanting folk music for the soul

  • Daniel Estrem: Handel on Guitar Volume 2 - Classical
    colorful classical guitar

  • Lisa Lynne: Lisa Lynne and the Elfin Love Tribe, Instrumental Songs of Good Cheer - New Age
    Inspirational, uplifting, gentle, and soothing Celtic harp, World flutes, guitar and more.

  • Michael Travisano: White Whale - New Age
    Modern alternative piano to feel in your gut

  • Paolo Pavan: The Swing of Things - Jazz
    Urban funky jazz piano, in a sober and straightforward style

  • Skitzo: Dementia Praecox - Hard Rock
    hard, wild, thrashing, punk-edged heavy metal

For just $15/month you can become a Magnatune member and can download any of our 20,000 songs at no cost.

Description:hard, wild, thrashing, punk-edged heavy metal
Genre:Hard Rock
Artist:Skitzo
Album:Dementia Praecox

Dementia Praecox is a step in the time machine back to the mid 1980s. It's a chunk of pure unfiltered metal. Metal you never get to hear these days. True 80's style with cross-over aggression. it's not the most talked about release in the media. Proudly we hailed to create a slab of metal that has meaning to us. This is for you deep underground maniacs and this style has been ingrained in your brain lifelong with us. On with the listen.... This is SKITZO's 19th release. Release date was Easter Sunday 2015 it was created Halloween 2009. Produced by Kurt Houser (who passed away during the making), this album pays homage to him, his life works and family.
