| It seems like Trent is having a creative burst and is not inhibited by the record industry dictating what he can and can't release.
I think he was pissed off at the distributors here in Australia bumping up the price of his previous release (Year Zero) beyond the standard price of other new releases. He had no say and was dissatisfied that greedy distribution was sabotaging his efforts in touring and promoting the CD. Lets face it the business model has changed and this new model he has instigated here takes care of what people want. The distributors where just greedy saboteurs.
Now what is happening with releasing his output this time...Free tracks for people who want free stuff... more conventional in-demand tracks for the fans to buy at a great price (not greedy and affordable to people like me) and exclusive stuff for people who are passionate about his music and want something more. He is takeing care of his fan base and increasing it by these strategies. It rocks man.
Sui_City I think you are not gettin' it. Don't worry man he aint devaluing his music. He is just doing things his way. Trent is totally rockin out and he's got his ear to the underground and an insight into this music business far beyond our experiences with it.
Peace,
