From the myspace:
"Originally broadcast December 2007 and titled A Soundworld of Rain this features Adam with pedal steel maestro and sometime Bolt of Melody Gerald Menke, playing measured and reverb-drenched versions of Bolts of Melody songs with a couple of Swervedriver nuggets in there also."

Hi. I'm pretty sure you can't without converting the file. The download comes as a .m4a file which is apple's AAC format and probably has some kind of drm enabled. Don't lose hope though because there are plenty of free ways on google to "convert itunes m4a to mp3".

My gut thinks this is likely the only place. Somebody you know has bound to have itunes. get them to buy it and burn a cd for you.

Hi guys,

newbie here and former lurker.
I have streamed the original broadcast and download it as mp3 files (160 kbps CBR). I have it as separate songs + the interviews. So if you want it...
...PM me
I would rather buy some physical product (CD-R or CD in digipack) directly from Adam, than support I-Tunes (lame file format, subpar quality of files...)

I think buying from iTunes is directly supporting the artist.

Yes there is a fee taken off but there always is a fee whether it is the touring cost or the production cost or the record label. Roger Mcguinn said he made more money from little old mp3.com then he ever made from a record label.

Buy this download with good conscience.

Folks, Itunes is DRM FREE... The m4a's are 256kbps and can be transcoded to other formats...

I think the point here is that anyone who wishes to continue hearing Adam or Swervedriver recordings really ought to support the cause and continue to buy the things.. Otherwise who knows if eventually, those guys won't be able to afford to continue doing it?

3 major issues
1) .m4a is shity codec
2) transcoding it to another code is lossy compression
3) we don't have Itunes in my country

Jeez...what's the problem. Adam could burn those files on CD/r, include some simple (one page artwork) and distribute it through his myspace page or 2ndmotionrecords.

Honestly, I've pirated those files, don't wanna pay for lossy files.
Who can blame me? I own Spent Bullets vinyl, signed CD, Bolts Of Melody CD, 3 reissues (Raise, Mezcal, ESR) and Jugegrnaut Rides CD.
I am planning to buy reiusses on vinyl (yes, awesome news, they are being planned).
Am I small fan?? Hell no. But don't wanna support this crap.
Gimme physical product (even with subpar quality - CD-R) with some artwork. I want WAVs and I want to have the cd in my collection. I want to order the product, to pay money directly to Adam.
Not dlling lame files into my computer.

My two cents.

Oh puhlease. Some things you just can't get in your favorite format and you are going to have to learn to deal with it.

I'm rarely a brute on the keys but for my 1000'th post I decided to open the vent a bit. I still respect your taste in music shallowdaydream.
