“How can we make available—every hour of the day, and all over the globe—a big box marked FREE?” The Dance of Antoine was the first album ever to be released exclusively on the Internet. Ever. I always have a hard time phrasing that sentence. Especially now, because the idea is so commonplace. I mean now you can download any album ever. You can either pay for it or you can steal it. You can still buy CDs or vinyl nowadays, but you could never do that with Antoine. This was 1994. A few months before it was put out there on the interwebs, A Western Front’s Full Bown Davewas the first album ever to be released on the Internet. Ever. The distincion between the two is the word “exclusively”. Full Blown Dave was also available in stores, on CD. Bab was behind both firsts. Beyond being a brilliant songwriter, musician, and engineer, he was a true pioneer. Before iTunes, before Napster, before MP3s… there was Bab and his (and bif and mouse and stove and dale and dave’s) music… on the Internet…. It was also FREE—which is a good story. It was also totally amazing. This album stands on its own as one of the very best ever recorded, no matter how it was released, or who made it. It is stunning. For the first time, Quagmire offers a “Deluxe Edition” of The Dance of Antoine. This package features premium DRM free 320kbps MP3s, a special digital booklet with original liner notes, album cover, and an hour long interview with Bab about the making of Antoine recorded in 2007. All for FREE. Enjoy, and as always. Tell everyone you know!
