Here's where you'll hear Home Office at our very best. Because of
server space limitations we're not going to put up massive numbers of
mp3's on this page: but we are going to give you a happy taste of each of
our artists. If you like what you hear, head on over to the main page for
that band for news, information, upcoming shows and direct links to more
mp3's off-site -- or you can click on the album covers below to head
directly to our pages on mp3.com. We hope you'll share our mp3's
with the Napster community and with the whole grand world -- and
please take a moment while the sounds are downloading to read a bit about
our happening and hardworking indie artists. The raging dinosaur at right
belongs, of course, to our newest release, Natural Selection by The Dan Emery Mystery Band.
Early responses to this brash and gleeful CD are coming in with thumbs up,
kind of like in Gladiator but with Dan instead of Russell Crowe ...

The Only One Who Loves You (Natural Mix) to roar along!

Read about The Cucumbers
The debut Pawnshop CD inspired Sound Views to jubilate.
"First things first," they said, "this is a great sounding record."
Check out our Pawnshop sounds in
RealAudio, with links to mp3's on other sites ... or snatch up this one,
Don't Dig, right here.
Pawnshop gets both harder and softer than this, so you're starting
in the middle. And The Cucumbers' new release has the Village
VOICE admiring their "fertile garden of smart psych-pop." Find out
why with Cucumbers audio links, or
carpe that diem with the bouncy and legal song Illegal.

Read about Burner
RAW Kinder has been silent for far too long, but their stark and
powerful debut CD had Sound Views praising their "roaming,
where-is-this-taking-us musical adventure." What's all the fuss about?
Find out for yourself with a small dreamy .wav snippet of Dreamin', or wade right in with a
full-length mp3 of the pensive and moody womansong Become. Our 1997
Burner compilation, featuring five East Village bands and artists
and a grand sweep of music from alternative to postmodern to jazz, is a
sprawling CD of many moods and forms. We have several sound clips from
this first outing by HO recording artists RAW Kinder and
Pawnshop, as well as guest artists and friends bluecowboys,
Rob Schwimmer and Mark Stewart, available for your curious
listening (in .wav format -- sounds better anyway. No mp3's from this
one).
And, of course, Restez Tuned for ever more samples from our artists and
HO friends. Mr. Cyrano's got this sound card thing pretty figured out.
Now which end of this cable does... * ZOT *

We mean it.
If an mp3 downloads on the Web, and there's no one there to hear it, does it
make a sound? And how many holes are there in Blackburn, Lancashire?
And ... what about Naomi?
