You don't need to be Tech savvy.
​
You only need to know that when your purchase a Digital Album,
you will now be able to download all individual tracks (to enable shuffle playing)
instead of just one file. AND you will have the choice of MP3s and M4As.

MP3s - great for Desktop, and Android players.
M4As are the standard iPod, iPad and iPhone playable files.

And because you can have unlimited downloads with your purchase, without expiry..you can even download tracks, at any time. in any format, just in case you change from Android to Apple or Vice Versa.

NOTE:
We will also be uploading FLAC files at a later date for a CD quality sound.
But, unless you are listening to great speakers (not through a mobile device with headphones)
you won't notice the difference. Most people don't want these larger files, but we will introduce them later,
for those that prefer to download them onto their Desktop PCs to listen at home.

​We've made these changes thanks to your feedback.
And your feedback is welcome at any time. 

​Thanks! LT and BM

All comers will be met with a video of an old sea dog... I ask Rachael not to video me.. but she persists...and we discuss the benefits of boat life... how the stress melts away, the creative mind comes alive, the dappled sun brings a dreamy state upon us all. It's the "before" video. And I invite you all to come on board...and help me complete this real-time, real life documentary - about creating music, prose, poetry and film at sea. 

As of today, the 8 Original Solo albums and the Retrospective are available for sale for $8 AUD. Also great news is that not only is the website proving to be mobile friendly, but all payment options are now available...Apple Pay, Google/Android Pay, Paypal and Stripe. All covered. All secure.

And there is a simple checkout system if you want to buy more than 1 album at a time. Until such time as another platform partner is involved, I have kept the price very reasonable...as it probably works out to be only a few Euro or about $5 USD.
​
Anyway..the BEST news for me is I have finally reached the goal of having everything available for SALE under one roof. No more finding out that people can't find the music, even with New Releases. It's all here. And it's available NOW! 

After being on a very steep learning curve, and being ably assisted by so many of you...with support of crowdfunding, advice, feedback, and even technical support... one of my Ultimate Goals for decades now is about to come home to roost. I have regained my ownership over www.louistillett.com. And I have worked out the bugs, in the process of setting up this shared resource with you. So, very soon, I will have a very special website to share...which should also herald some other new directions in my Musical and Creative life. I believe there is still a place for this "Grass Roots" site...for Fans, and Newbies...as a living archive..in line with the Mission and the shared values of the National Film and Sound Archives. But the coming website will probably be somewhat more sophisticated, and innovative. Stay tuned friends. And thanks for staying on the ride with me. Louis

When I was touring a lot in Europe, Normal Records asked for a distinctly different type of album from me. It was to represent the live and acoustic sound of my concerts in Germany, Greece and other parts of Europe. At times, it was in solo form, or with Charlie Owen and other collaborations. There was also one tour with The Aspersion Caste in the early days. So we started with "The Ugly Truth". Following it's success, we moved onto "Midnight Rain", and completed the set with "Life@The Basement" aka "Live @ The Basement".

They were fairly low budget recordings, which was fine, since we were trying to capture a live feel. The final album was entirely Live...at The Basement, of course...and was also filmed as part of the documentary "A Night At Sea" for Round The Outside Productions. It was first screened on ABC TV in 2000 in Australia. Please enjoy these albums, which were once Mail Order only - limited to 2000 copies, through Normal Records, Return To Sender, and Glitterhouse Mail Order. Feel free to leave your comments below, or email me at louistillettmusic@gmail.com. I am also on Facebook and Twitter @LouisTheTillett. LT 

It is because of these altruistic people, that I can allow EVERYONE to listen to and download my entire musical catalogue, so I can get on with new projects. And in reality, anything over and above the maintenance costs of the site, go directly towards those new projects...whether that be collaborations, studio time, keeping the Van on the road, and touring and accommodation costs. It is an expensive past-time - making music. So "From Me To You" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And for those who cannot afford to donate...please SHARE the website link...and the music...and feel free to leave a comment or contact me anytime.

With the launch of a new album and the unusual format of allowing all music to be downloaded freely, I have found great support, with an average of 1000 unique visitors per week. This is based purely on Word of Mouth with referrals mostly from Facebook. So that's a good sign to me, that the site was something you were all interested in seeking out.

I am glad that I persisted in this mission to bring you my entire body of work...and trust your good intentions. Please continue to enjoy the music, the pictures, and stories while it is still free. And I will continue to upload more content, in between musical projects and live concert commitments.

Warmest regards. Louis Tillett
