There is a free track of a "progressive rock" song entitled Animals. The album appears to be entitled Paper Motion. It is from the TRPTK label.
I know nothing about the group. I've listened to the song, and the song and performance is all right, nothing special IMHO.
The main reason that I'm posting it (besides the fact that it is free) is that the track comes from an album advertised as "the world's first Progressive Rock album, "direct to 352.kHz DXD [their emphasis, G]," and DSD64 and 128. I had never heard of DXD, to my knowledge. DXD appears to be ultra-high quality--above even DSD. The email that I got about the album and the free track stated, "Enjoy this new music in it's [sic] original master quality!!" I know one thing, the download for just the track is nearly 400 mb, and the song is not really all that long!
For some reason, I see no way to turn the email message into a webpage, as I normally can, so it looks like if you're not a subscriber, that you may be outta luck. Here's
a booklet that you can download to read about the album; it's also freely available on TRPTK's website at
this webpage, and I think elsewhere.
NativeDSD.com might have some more information, as might
the website for the TRPTK label.
BTW--the song is playable on your computer, with your basic media player--at least it is on mine.
Don't dilly-dally about downloading the track--the deal is to last 48 hours from about 7:30 a.m. ET USA today, May 3. I guess that that makes it about 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, but I'm almost afraid to say.
