Yesterday (11.03) we here at Tellé got thrown in to the discussion about free downloading of music from the internet. It was a reporter from the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv (More like the Norwegian Financial Times) who asked us what we thought about the fact that last year the Norwegian people downloaded music for 7 billion Norwegian Kroner? And they were wondering how this affects us?
The Norwegian major labels don't like the fact that people get their music for free, it is the same with major labels all over the world, I guess. They think that they will make less money. I heard that the Norwegian CD sales were growing with more than 10 % last year. So if they loose money I guess it is the independent labels that are growing!
'Why?' I thought. Maybe it is the fact that we don't use most of our time and money to chase down these sites were you can download music, we focus more on the good music and less on the possible sale of the record. We are always in an attacking position. We constantly want new people to hear our music.
Anyway, we here at the Tellé office download a lot of music every day, we respect the artists that we download, and if the music is good, we probably buy the Vinyl (or maybe the cd) anyway.
We thought that we should show our gratitude to our downloading friends, to our music scene. So that is why we now publish 4 albums and 1 single release from Telle Records as free downloads, we even put out an easy-to-print artwork. It is now possible to download Bjorn Torske's album 'Trobbel', Kaptein Kaliber's 3 albums 'Pop Ultra 1', 'Pop Ultra 2' and 'Pop Ultra 2b' (previously unreleased!), as well as the 7" 'I will always remember you' by Fredrik Saroea (feat. Annie).
Kinda brings a tear to your eye

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, if you play it forwards it installs Windows.

Well, I downloaded 1 of the songs that they offered for as a free download and used Encspot to see what encoder they used.

Encoder : Lame 3.91

I don't know if all the other albums uses LAME, I only tested 1 song.

Kudos to these people for using LAME, although it's only 128kbps, which means it doesn't sound nearly as good as a -alt-preset standard encoded one, but still, these people are more aware of what the consumer wants compared to the "you know who in the music industry".
