Alex - meet Liam
Alex went to the Prodigy gig in Oslo last night, and through a stroke of good fortune, got to go backstage and meet the gang and have a quick chat about music and the industry. Pic will follow. :)

Labels - get with the program. You are an outdated organization living on antiquated profits. Wake up or perish.

We just have to re-blog this post from BT - take a listen to this sonic genious!

::: Every Other Way :::
Well friends and loved ones, here is the moment you’ve been waiting for.
After 7,222 views in around 48 hours, you have earned about 3 min of music based on our Twitter contest rules (500 views=12 seconds).
I am in a generous mood, and well, since the chorus happens almost 5 minutes into the song, here is 6 minutes of Every Other Way.
I must say, there are some huge surprises in this track in the second half. You’ll just have to wait for the album to hear them. Thank you all for the kind words and tweets. What a fun 2 days.
Consider this Tumblr my official location for album countdown. More to come…soon. Lots more :)

Today I stole from a fellow musician
Today I spent almost two hours trying to find some way to purchase a song that was released ten years ago on a major label, on a single, on a remix album, on a separate second remix album and as a maxi-single. It was completely impossible.
I couldn’t find the song anywhere, and it totally blew my mind. Not Amazon MP3, not iTunes, not anywhere else. So then I went searching for the single. This I found two places, but both places only carried one track on the “CD” (the original single, and not the remix I was looking for), making it completely pointless.
I tried to find the complete remix CD, but even though it was listed on several stores, those stores only carried some of the tracks on that CD (and, of course, not the one I wanted).
So I tried to find somewhere that sold the physical CD, to order it the old fashioned way. Impossible, since the CD has been out of print for a decade. I tried to find the single, the remix album and the second remix album, but no luck there either — and I was willing to pay the extra bucks for the 9 songs I didn’t care about, just to get that one I really wanted to have.
I tried to search on eBay and I tried Amazon used CD sales, but no dice — the track (or any of the CDs) were nowhere to be found.
After having exhausted all legal options available to me, I tried a torrent-site. Found the track within seconds, and a minute later I was listening to it on my Mac.
Today I stole from a fellow musician, and I don’t feel bad about it.

Transistorbass-track in a new demo
Our friends in the excellent demo-group XPLSV made this really cool “Tron”-inspired invitation for the Blockparty demoscene event in Cleveland, Ohio this April. They wanted a track from Transistorbass to build upon, and therefore the tune “Zenith” was born. Most likely it will be available online in a short while, but we want to tweak the mix a bit first.
Check out the demo (and the track) below:

Transistorbass creates game trailer soundtrack
We were recently asked to make a track for a game teaser, which is now released - please check it out! The game is called Perpetuum, and it is a massive online multi-player game featuring robots, railguns, rockets and teleports - how cool is that?!
“Perpetuum is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It takes place on the distant planet of Nia, the discovery of which ignites a struggle for the acquirement and control of the undepletable energy resources found there.
Humans themselves are unable to reach the planet, but by infecting the local synthetic lifeforms with nanovirii, they take control over parts of the infrastructure.
The Agents of Perpetuum, selected and trained to this task, depart from their human form forever to conquer this new world. We’re taking off soon. Are you ready for the challenge?”
No news on the release date yet, but we have a feeling this will be a big hit in the MMORPG community. We’ll post the video here as well as soon as Vimeo is done encoding it.
