Trifonic – Band with a good distribution model

I found myself rather liking the music on the Ant/Hexapod video. The video on Youtube lists the sound track as “Trifonic with Lies”.

A bit of Googling leads me to the Trifonic site, where they’re giving away their album as a DRM free 192k MP3. Or you can pay what you like and have a choice of different formats to download, including FLAC, OGG, 320k MP3, and a few others, all DRM free.

After listening to a few tracks (including the excellent free Gutter Box), I decided to buy the album. This is the first music I’ve bought in a year! There’s no way I would have bought it if they weren’t offering it up like this.

This band gets it. This is how music distribution is going to work in the future. We all get what we want. :)

Torque3D plugin with browser surfaces

Torque3D allows rendering of a browser onto a surface. Amazing graphics for a browser plugin. Better than Unity maybe?
