He got what he asked for without paying commission to anyone. You got a beautiful addition to your CD collection at a bargain price. It's a win/win situation.

But there is more...
By going to and buying from the artist, you help liberate the artist from having to deal with signing long and complicated contracts with the music industry, you help give artists the freedom to do what they do best... music and more music for you to find next time you meet the artist.

CDs-FROM-THE-ARTIST dot com (CFTA) is that restaurant in Spain, village in Africa or anywhere in the world an independent artist with CDs to sell can be found. Unlike countless music web sites CFTA is not a record company or a CD store, is not representing the artist or selling the artist's CDs. Rather it tells you about those hard to find independent artists anywhere in the world with whom you can interact, discover the music and buy a CD just as you would if you saw the artist

perform. And with the advent of the Internet, you need not travel anywhere to meet the artist. You can do this right here right now from wherever you are. Welcome to CDs-FROM-THE-ARTIST dot com Below are CDs available from independent artists located all over the world, each with a Quick Listen option. If you find what you like or like what you find, you can go to where the artist sells the CD with one click from here.

Enjoy and help CFTA remain the best place for music lovers and indie artists by coming back following your purchase and listing your customer feedback for the artist you dealt with and telling about your satisfaction or how you feel the artist can improve the CD selling service. - For every three CDs, you can get one CD free - more...
