Peter Gabriel Launches Online Music Club

An online music club which is being given recording support by Peter Gabriel has been launched. Music Club members will receive monthly albums from new acts such as Gwyneth Herbert and Little Axe.

Each album will be available for download for a month and all the tracks will be DRM-free, meaning they are not restricted to being played on a specific type of player. The albums will be recorded in Peter Gabriel's Real World studios in Bath.

The singer and WOMAD festival founder said he wanted to be involved in the Bowers and Wilkins service because so much online music is of poor quality.
