As a solo artist, and now the creative force behind Frank Black and The
Catholics, Frank Black extends and expands on his already formidable
reputation by producing albums that at once re-define “alternative”
while confounding critics’ expectations. From his first solo pop tour
de force, the eponymous Frank Black, to the latest torrent of songs
contained on the simultaneously released Black Letter Days and Devil’s
Workshop, Frank Black continues to defy conventional wisdom. With the
Catholics, he has embarked on a series of recordings which might best be
described as the road to retro; albums recorded live, albums recorded
sans overdubs, sans mixing and editing; in other words, forsaking the
advantage of technical studio manipulation for the true sound of a band
-- a live band. As it was in the studio is as it is on your stereo --
or personal computer.

Hi, I'm not a writer but I am a new EMusic member so thanks for mentioning this news. I'm very new to independent music but I'm fed up waiting for the RIAA to offer an EMusic-like service for the more popular stuff -- I like portability, unlimited downloads, my picks saved on a server, etc.
I just downloaded these two albums (90 MB) in about five minutes, thanks again.

Just to note I took out the free trial membership and cancelled before the end of the trial but my credit card was still debited. I understand others have suffered the same fate.

To echo the comment above, they have poor customer service. Once they have your credit card number, hope nothing goes wrong with your account because you will get ripped off like I did.
