I think we may have a winner on the established band front. One of the main criticisms I've seen of this method is that it isn't feasible for smaller bands (arguably evidenced by the Saul Williams release. depends on you ask, I guess).<br> I found an interesting article about a band (The Red Paintings) who are facing this issue while recording their debut album. Their completely different approach to label-free funding may be paving the road for lesser-known acts to pull this off in their own way. Basically, a fan donation funded album.

This is looking to be a very well orchestrated release, outside of the underestimated response to the NIN web servers. Not only is array of media options impressive, Trent personally distributed torrents and the entire release is under a Creative Commons license. To top it off, the free PDF ZIP package includes 40 pages of photography accompanied credits and 33 unique JPGs, many of which show up as individual track cover art in iTunes. Damn!</p> Damn!

I wish more bands would do this sort of thing.</p> personally, as an amateur DJ and remixer I think the best thing about Trent’s recent online efforts is the inclusion of multi track loops and vocals.

The site is running quickly -- I stuck with the $10 2xCD version, which is an excellent deal. I can't remember the last time I paid just $10 for 36 tracks on 2 discs.
