I have spent a lot of time on sorting my old music collection, trying to decide what to keep online and what to clean away. While the personal value is high for many of the older songs, the songs are honestly not very good. Outdated sound, bad technical quality and noisy samples can be heard in most old tracks, but there are still people out there who like to listen to them so I still want to do something good with them. However, it has been more than ten years since the oldest songs were made, and in some way I feel that I want to focus on the songs that means the most to me (and that sounds OK to others) while letting the less good songs get their final rest. I have done that by taking the songs down from this site and re-organizing them into a smaller collection, split into a set of MP3 albums.

The oldest album, "Dreams" by TSEC (1998, DayDream Records) is already available in MP3 format on this website. The Lagoona songs have been sorted into their former MP3.com albums: "Magic Melodies", "The journey" (both released in 2000) and "Generations" (2002) along with a new album called "MP3 singles" that contain the songs that were not released on any album. The new album will contain a couple of remixes and even a few Lagoona live tracks as an added bonus. And finally, my own songs have been sorted into two albums. The first has been named after my 2001 MP3.com album release, "eXtended Modules collection", and it contains 16 old songs that I made with the legendary music program FastTracker 2 between 1996 and 2003. The second album is simply called "Free music collection" and it contains 8 newer and technically better songs like "Riders, unite!" and "Andact".

Free to download - free to share!

My original plan was to release my own albums on iTunes, something I have got numerous requests for. But the music has always been free, and I won't complicate things by changing that. All the mentioned albums will be made available for free on my music pages once I get everything in order. It will probably be about 80 songs in total. Until then, you can download the TSEC album from this site - or you can head over to The Pirate Bay where my own two albums are already available. Download them if you want to, and feel free to share them with your friends. And please let me know if you find something that you enjoy!

You can also download or stream a few songs from PureVolume page if you are not familiar with TPB and torrent downloads. If you miss some specific song there, let me know and I'll upload it. And just to remind you: I have now teamed up with Joakim Persson and thereby turned the Leeloo Project into a new and fresh duo - and we will soon launch our band website where you will be able to download a free promo releases that will make my old songs sound completely silly. To be continued!
