Nigel of Bermondsey - This Is How It Feels

Two curious tracks on a download-only single from this XFM Award-nominated artist. The A-side (virtually-speaking) is a cover of the Inspiral Carpets' This Is How It Feels and has been described as "lovely" by its writer, Clint Boon. And the B-side, Something's On Fire, is written in collaboration with Jim Irvine, from ethereal 80s brilliant minds, Furniture. Hear more at www.myspace.com/nigelofbermondsey.

Incubus - The Vault

As the band gear up to release their two-disc Best Of, Monuments and Melodies, they've also put together a massive download archive of pretty much everything they've ever recorded. According to Columbia Records, "No longer will any fan of the band have to search online for rare and unreleased content as it will all be conveniently available at enjoyincubus.com." They've assembled over 100 rare or unreleased MP3s, live tracks, previously unavailable studio tracks, more than over 100 rare and unreleased videos, and TV appearances. There's also the banned version of Wish You Were Here and a complete concert from the band's December 12, 1996 Whiskey performance in Los Angeles. This is one of those multiple download packages like No Doubt's that we covered a couple of issues ago that are almost impossible to review. Suffice to say that if singles like Black Heart Inertia were up your street, then The Vault will be your download of the year.

Graham Coxon – Sorrow's Army

A fantastic song and a fantastic idea from Graham Coxon, announced just before he rejoined his Blur band-mates. Coxon has been getting back to his art-school roots with a new website and revived interest in painting, as seen at www.grahamcoxonart.com. He's also put together a new limited edition art print - the only physical format of his new single Sorrow’s Army for Transgressive Records (www.transgressiverecords.co.uk). Buy one of these 1000 hand-numbered original prints (on Tintoretto Gesso paper, whatever that is, at 210mm x 210mm) and you'll get a unique code giving access to a download of the track.

AudioFuel – Rollercoaster

Quite a bizarre idea, this, but apparently it works. AudioFuel claims to be a new type of music specifically composed with a beat fast enough to match the pace of a runner - 190 beats per minute. Howie Saunders - last heard playing with big beat aficionados Lunatic Calm (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunatic_Calm) makes all the music for AudioFuel, and it's all mixed to this special running pace. Rollercoaster is by far the best so far, but there are various others to choose from and they've also told us that "we are talking to one or two well known bands about the idea of re-mixing their tracks to create new AudioFuel."

Shiny Toy Guns - Major Tom

A great 're-imagining' of Peter Shilling's 80s classic based on the adventures of Bowie's Ashes To Ashes character. This band have been making waves for the past couple of years so this is a great chance to check them out for nothing. Nothing beats the original, German-language Shilling version though! Get Major Tom from hipsteroverkill.com/Blogs/tabid/1936/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/496/DOWNLOAD-Shiny-Toy-Guns-new-80s-cover.aspx.

Heads We Dance - Work It Out (feat. Little Boots)

We're proud to proclaim “you read it here first” every time the much-hyped Little Boots gets a mention. She's now collaborated with electro-poppers Heads We Dance whose When The Sirens Sound is getting much-deserved breakthrough airplay on Radio 1. This is the B-side, which is available as an official, "totally guilt-free download" from the US Arjan Writes music blog at www.arjanwrites.com/arjanwrites/2009/04/exclusive-free-download-heads-we-dance-featuring-little-boots-work-it-out.html.

Wave Machines - Keep The Lights On

Disco, synths and dance influences seem to be flooding back into indie music this year - praise the lord - and a prime example is the new single from Wave Machines. one of the most hyped bands of the year so far, they've been described as "like Hot Chip dipped in Hot Chocolate" and, impossibly, "polished, accomplished, budget disco." Keep The Lights On is their third single and is available as a limited edition 7" vinyl (Rough Trade, £3.99) or as a completely free download from their website.

The Streets – Trust Me

Here's a reason to jump on board the Twitter bandwagon, if you're a Streets fan that is. Mike Skinner has been posting free MP3s – as well as lots of chat and random musings - from his studio via the new microblogging platform. First up was a track called I love My Phone which the Guardian Music Blog jumped on for its “chipmunk vocals, crashing snares and text message bleeps.” Then came Trust Me, which is an endearing knockabout fusion of Massive Attack and Karel Fialka. Like everything on Twitter it's gone in seconds, so download while you can.

Depeche Mode – Sounds of the Universe

Not so much a download, but well worth a mention: digital distributor We7 has struck a deal to stream the new Depeche Mode album in its entirety on NME.com. If you go to the URL above you can click through every track, like the stripped down industrial opener In Chains, and the buzzing, dirty Wrong. It's covered in adverts – both visual and audio – but worth a go.

No Doubt – Everything, basically!

If you ever wanted a sign as to just how much the recorded music industry is changing, try this. If you buy a “top tier” ticket to one of No Doubt's forthcoming live shows you can download their entire back catalogue! For free! That's seven albums, and one extra exclusive track – their first new recording in years - which is, quite bizarrely, a cover of Adam & The Ants' Stand & Deliver. Their tour kicks off on 02 May 2 in Atlantic City and those “top tier” tickets are actually quite reasonable. They start from $42.50, which is about thirty quid.

Lenka - Anything I'm Not (Acoustic)

Ex-Decoder Ring vocalist Lenka was recently named VH1's "You Oughta Know Artist" and chosen as iTunes Single Of The Week in the US, but possibly the best barometer of her impending popularity is the fact that one of her tracks, The Show, has had over six million plays on MySpace. You can download this track for free from Columbia Records, if you sign up to her mailing list to hear what all the fuss is about.

Peter Doherty - Grace/Wastelands

Doherty's delicate musical and medical rehabilitation continues with this new album of shrewd, languid guitar pop. Head to iTunes where you'll find an exclusive bonus track, an acoustic version of Lady Don't Fall Backwards. Handily, and unlike many other iTunes bonus tracks, you don't have to download the full album to get this, you can just buy it by itself if you want.

Tom Waits & Kronos Quartet - Way Down in the Hole

“Working with the Kronos Quartet was like firing a .38 Special with a clam shell holster: beauty meets brains," Tom Waits said of this collab, which had the Dalai Lama enthralled. And Spinner.com has a free MP3 so you can hear it for yourself at www.spinner.com/2007/07/02/exclusive-mp3-tom-waits-and-kronos-quartet-way-down-in-the-ho/.
