There was this Russian website where you could download whole albums for like 50 cents. I absolutely loved it, because as well as current hits it also had the most obscure, crazy stuff, classical music, jazz, and world music. I think they're all in prison now, the guys who ran it.

There were a handful of them. Two I remember are allofmp3 and something like mp3eagle. One of those introduced me to Muse around the time Black holes and Revelations came out.

Allofmp3, that was it! I downloaded the Muse albums too. :-)

Memory unlocked.

I definitely know what you're talking about (dispite not remembering the name of it) but they had everything. And if they didn't, you could request it and they'd find it.

I miss that site now

Yes!

Holy cow haha. I "bought" so much music there. They got a ton of obscure gypsy brass band stuff for me when I asked too (Fanfare Ciocarlia)

Yeah that's the one. I got so much music from that site.
