Free Music Download : Consecration
Posted by xero | Filed under Music
Another free music download. This time from Serbian goth metal rockers Consecration. Sounding somewhat like Katatonia and Porcupine Tree this freebie is well worth a listen.
Free Music : Sourhaze
Posted by xero | Filed under Music
Elliot Jay Stocks, one of those terribly annoying multi-talented designer musician types has put some free sample tracks online. If you like dissonant NIN style ambient electro rock then this will be right up your street. Also featuring the sounds of an mbira.
There’s also a Myspace site but I’m not going to link that because I hate Myspace. have I mentioned that already!
SuperModel Twins

Now directly from the supporting-the-home-team category comes this nice little musical discovery.Hailing from Limerick, the Supermodel Twins sound like Weezer meets Snow Patrol in a….well somewhere such people could meet.
This homemade video is shot almost entirely in the dark but it sounds pretty good:
More tunes and info on the MySpace page
BTW: have I mentioned how much i hate Myspace. No, well I HATE Myspace. There you go.
Ghosts of the Record Industry!

Nine Inch Nails aka Trent Reznor has released a new collection (is the term album now redundant?) of music online for free. Like Radiohead’s recent experiment with free online releases this has created a big buzz in the music and tech press. Is this the future of music distribution or just another cash-in on the hatred of the RIAA among file sharers and music fans? Time will tell but already there are signs of success for NIN at least - the multi-format multi priced “Ghosts” is moving like hotcakes - the demand for free downloads have caused the NIN servers to crash and the super deluxe physical version has sold out. At $300 per copy times 2500 copies sold it should at least make other artists take notice if not the record companies. Yes that is $750,000 for those who can’t be bothered with working it out!
