Back when the internet was younger and broadband wasn't widely available (I'm talking 1999/2000), I was downloading music from the likes of Napster on my 56k modem - this was when Napster was good - I had all this music at my fingertips and it was completely free! Granted, it could have taken over half an hour to download one track, but this was still amazing, albeit illegal.
However, there were also legal places to download free music from. One of my favourites to visit was peoplesound.com which encouraged upcoming artists to upload their tracks and build a music profile of their own - kind of like MySpace or PureVolume - and this is where I found an artist called Little People.
I remember downloading the three or four 'instrumental hip-hop' tracks that were available and they resided on my hard drive until I re-discovered them about six years later. Similar artists include DJ Shadow, Blockhead, Koushik and RJD2. I did some research into the artist and it turns out they were Manchester-based and that they were soon due to release an album - 'Mickey Mouse Operation' - which I then bought from Piccadilly Records.
