By now, you know all about Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead selling their latest albums at various prices, depending on the format. London-based indie electronica label Highpoint Lowlife is experimenting with a similar model for its new quadruple EP compilation, Magnetism, That Electricity, which includes new songs from four of the top bands on the label.

Pricing options range from zero to $22, depend on what you want (prices converted from British pounds).

Thorsten Sideb0ard explained via email that the idea of including a few new songs from multiple artists was inspired by the live music format in which one band follows the next:

Whole idea was based on a label showcase we did in January of this year at the Luminaire, which is one of London's top venues. Totally packed out night, and really good performances from everyone. I asked 'em all for some fresh music for this album, and it's come out amazingly well.

Tracks range from stormy electronica to bent hip-hop.
