Morpheus Music is a free website – we review music and plug new releases without charge when we can.

Were it possible, we’d do everything for free, the site is not run as a money-making venture.
However, writing reviews takes many hours and we simply can’t afford the time to do everything for nothing - so we offer a number of additional arrangements at various costs.

We have no expectations that artists or labels use these paid services, we are perfectly happy to do just the free stuff if that suits.

 

Is it worth promoting my music via Morpheus Music?

Many labels and artists come back to us time and again since advertising with Morpheus is relatively low cost and reaches a huge, strongly targeted audience.

You can view some of our 2010/2011 visitor stats here: STATS

Bear in mind these show only the Morpheus main website - many offers below use the whole Morpheus family of sites including Myspace, Tribes, Twitter and Blogger.

Not only that we post your reviews on multiple commercial and fan websites including Amazon, iTunes, Discogs, Isratrance, Psynews, CD Baby, etc.

WHERE ARE THE PAGES YOU TALK ABOUT?

Our genre pages are the 5 pages linked from here.

They are specifically: AMBIENT - CHILL - ELECTRONIC - ENIGMATIC - VOCAL

The audio visual rooms are linked via the speakers on these rooms.

Our Myspace page is here.

Our Tribes page is here.

Our blog is here.

 

 

*CYCLES
A number of our pages have cycles of banners or posts.
These are rows of a limited number of banners/posts that are kept current and are easily seen.
A banner or post starts in top place and remains there until a new post arrives; the previous one then drops down a spot on the cycle.
Eventually banners or posts drop off the bottom and are removed.
We try to maintain enough items in each cycle so that items do not disappear too quickly.
For example the CD reviews shown on our Home page and main Menu page drop in cycles, descending the list until they drop off the bottom.
The large banners on our main Menu page also drop in cycles making them temporary.
Where options have the wording 'at least 6 months' or 'at least 1 year' etc. - the idea is that items will remain in place for longer than that time unless either the page becomes too cluttered or Morpheus goes off-line.

 

 

**VIDEOS

Video plugs - you record yourself talking up your new release and send us the footage - we post at Youtube and Morpheus (see here for more info).

Bear in mind that Youtube only accepts videos of 10 minutes or less.
If you want to submit more than 10 minutes content you will need to break material into sections each less than ten minutes.

Video interviews will be conducted by us emailing you a list of questions - you will need to record your interview by camera or mobile phone.

You email us back your interview video and we will intercut the questions.

We will post the interview on our Menu page, Myspace page, Youtube channel and genre listening room for maximum exposure - you may post your video anywhere else you wish.

Please note that we will not post any videos of a sexual nature or that contain offensive images or language.
