Patience is a virtue

...I'm sure you know how the saying ends?!

Well, fortunately for us, we exercised a little patience and sat waiting quietly while our listeners increased, the 'scrobbles' racked up, and eventually it all paid off!!

What are we talking about so excitedly? Last.fm of course!!



Morpheus Rising now have our own Last.fm radio station!!  That's right, you can now tune in to our very own station and listen to our material alongside those other artists which our listeners deem to be 'Similar Artists'... so far we're in pretty distinguished company: Iron Maiden, Metallica, Whitesnake and Alter Bridge to name a few!!

Why not pop along to Last.fm and listen to us online (if you have an iPhone there's a free app here).

If you're in the dark about what Last.fm actually is then here's what Wikipedia has to say about it:

"Last.fm is a UK-based Internet radio and music community website, founded in 2002. It claims over 21 million active users based in more than 200 countries. On 30 May 2007, CBS Interactive acquired Last.fm for £140m ($280m USD). 

Using a music recommendation system called "Audioscrobbler", Last.fm builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording details of all the songs the user listens to, either on the streamed radio stations, the user's computer or some portable music devices. This information is transferred to Last.fm's database ("scrobbled") via a plugin installed into the user's music player. The profile data is then displayed on the user's profile page. The site offers numerous social networking features and can recommend and play artists similar to the user's favourites.

Users can create custom radio stations and playlists from any of the audio tracks in Last.fm's music library, and are able to listen to some individual tracks on demand, or download tracks if the rights holder has previously authorised it. Registration, which is free, is required to acquire a profile but is not necessary to view any part of the site or to listen to radio stations"

Rise with us...

All the best,

Grae, Pete, Daymo, Andy and Gibbo

Morpheus Rising

...resurrecting British Heavy Metal!
