THE SOUL MINE

This is the place to find multimedia goodies, some of which you won't hear or see anyplace else. On a regular basis, we'll raid the collections of various band members, and friends of the band, to present all sorts of treasures: radio shows, "official bootlegs", and maybe even some works in progress, fresh from the recording studio.

The clips on this page will be updated frequently, so check back here often, or subscribe to the AWB Discussion Board mailing list, and you'll be notified whenever new stuff is added to the site.

If you're new to the world of online audio, then you'll want to keep reading. If you an old hand at all this, then you can scroll down to the good stuff.

The material below comes in two formats, both of which require your computer to have certain software installed:

RealAudioThis format allows you to listen to the selections in real time. The audio is not CD quality, but you don't have to wait for any files to download. The clips are presented in 28bps and 56bps modes, and the faster your connection is, the better the sound quality. You will need the RealAudio plug-in, which you can get for free here.

MP3 This format gives you CD quality audio (depending on the source, of course) . The files take some time to download, and you"ll need an MP3 player. Quicktime works well, and will also play the video clips we'll be including here. You can also check out some other MP3 players here.
