The bad news is he needs to optimize them for streaming before they can be added to the ETP site.

The good news is you can buy the album today at the link below (or just click the art).  The album is cheap, the music is awesome, go show him some love!

When launched the new site will have been completely rebuilt to make it faster loading, easier to browse and generally a better experience. It will bring the art to the forefront of the experience and be less restrictive of topics going forwards. The relaunch will also include a brand new piece, bringing our collection up to a round dozen works (with more to come).

Begun way back at the start of 2008, the ETP project has evolved continually. When it was launched almost ten months ago the site itself reflected bold aspirations to bring a constant stream of new work to visitors. Unfortunately when combining the intrusions of life with our research and critique-intensive approach to each piece, the span of time between each new piece is a lot longer than we'd planned for.

As such the ETP site is shifting to better fulfill its role of providing access to the growing collection the ETP artists have worked so hard on.

A message to all Rippers (you know who you are): You're pathetic little losers who aspire to be greater than you are but are too damn lazy to get there yourselves.  I pity you.

A message to all Artists (you know who you are): You're all amazing.  No matter what skill level you're at, the fact that you try, learn, improve, and create on your own boasts of your inherent potential.  Rock on.
