Re: archive.org has resurrected the old IUMA recordings

Listening to "Animals Live and Grow" now. Very elegant music and nicely played. I gotta say Matt, you had a lot of feeling and restraint for a 23 year old.

Heh... those were the days. I still wax nostalgic about the online
community that was mp3.com. (Lots of people had stuff up, and the site
let you build "radio stations" by linking tracks from different
artists into a big m3u file. It was a great way to find out about
different indie artists. I'd like to see Bandcamp have some ideas like
that!

IUMA was kind of the "indie-er" mp3.com. Except their servers couldn't
handle the traffic they were getting. Most attempts to upload or
download any files resulted in timeouts. And they didn't have the same
community building aspects.

But my first ever CD-R release, "5 Spots" is up there - released in
1998 at the tender age of 23.... and recorded mostly on bass guitar.
