Right-click and go to "save link as" or "save target as" and tell it where to put the file.

Downloading now... I hope its worth it.
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Length doesn´t say anything about quality, does it?

So, it´s just music! And it´s free for you to hear. And if you like Pink Floyd or some others as said above, you can listen to it.
And if you don´t like it, send to someone you hate.
Merry Christmas from Germany!

^ ok, I know.

The longest I can think of right now is Echolyn's Mei - about 40 minutes. But I don't see why there shouldn't be longer pieces - 74 minutes is the typical length of an extended CD, nothing stops bands from creating mixes that are longer than that artificial limit ...

The worlds longest free piece of music in the internet

 

The longest free piece of music in the internet comes from the german rockband CALM WIZARDRY.

POEMS FROM THE PAST -written, composed and produced by Marco Göllner- is 74.41 minutes long and now ready for download on www.calmworld.de.

With this offert the band will probably get an entry into the Guinnessbook of records.

The quintett releases with POEMS FROM THE PAST a conceptalbum in the style of Pink Floyd (The Wall), the early Genesis (Lamb lies down on broadway) or the early Marillion.

It tells the story about a man left by a woman. His pain, his fears, his thoughts and his way through the dullness back to life.

 

CALM WIZARDRY founded in 1989 still released some other albums, just this year the rock-pop-album PULL.

For the band the change from the 3 minutes popsong to the epic musictheatre, conceptalbum, radio-music-play, rockopera – whatever you call it- is a change back to their early progressive roots.

CALM WIZARDRY already played an early version of POEMS in 1992.

A demo followed. Then in 1998 they turned to the complex recordings of POEMS in the Jam-Factory-Studios in Bielefeld, NRW, Germany.

Since then the band worked on it again and again through the years – because everyone got a job and they only do their music in sparetime for hobby – so that now in 2006 their masterpiece is ready for release.

 

Producer Marco Göllner – even member of the band – works beside music as an actor, author and producer in radioplays. This year he was honoured with the german radioplay-award for “best single radioplay” for his production “Öffne die Tür/Open the Door”.

 

Following the future the band decided: when noone is willing to pay for music anymore, the music will be given away – for free – as a download (128 kBit/s) in the internet.

Shure you can also get it on a CD in 44.1 kHz quality. But then it costs money.

 

For more information about the band or the conceptalbum join them on www.calmworld.de or write them at [email protected].
