Hut! Hut! Hut! Go team!

|

The last two posts from Take Your Medicine feature tunage from The Go! Team.

Today's post includes "The Power is On", a song that saw some heavy morning play for me a few weeks back, while Tuesday's post has the song "Bottle Rocket".

And, just thought I'd mention again that you can buy The Go! Team's album Thunder, Lightning, Strike in MP3 format from Bleep for $9.99 (US) -- a pretty good deal considering that we here in North America are stuck paying import prices if we want it on CD.

Bleep encodes their MP3s at an average bit rate of around 205kbps VBR, so the quality is better than what you'd typically find online. As well, there's no evil DRM, and you can play the tunes using any hardware or software that plays MP3s. And their catalogue includes a lot of artists and labels that you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Go check 'em out -- I like them a lot.

Addendum 29 July 2005: Billboard reports that The Go! Team has signed with Columbia Records, and that Thunder, Lightning, Strike will see release in the U.S. (and, presumably, Canada) in September. The disc will also feature "two additional songs and new vocal arrangements for 'Bottle Rocket'". (via Silence is a Rhythm Too)
