Well another week, another amazingly large number of downloads. Over the weekend, we hit a few bandwidth issues, which I think is awesome and a true sign of success as well as a testament to the number of SEGA fans out there. So awesome! I've also had to move the download file around a bit. Currently the album has been uploaded to Megaupload (sorry for any banners/delayed downloads or codes you have to deal with). Hopefully. I'll post more mirrored versions of the album soon.

 

Here it is: THE DREAMCAST EP
(DOWNLOAD) - Megaupload link - sorry about the delayed download

The file is a zip. All 8 tracks in mp3 format.
(Hopefully we'll mirror it other places later this week)

Album Breakdown
1. The Pianosaurus – Green Hill Drone
2. Bicycles & Gravel – A Song for the Dreamcast
3. Gemini Cricket – Dreamcast Visions
4. Grey Milk – Venice is Dying
5. Bicycles & Gravel – Curious Console
6. The South Will Rave Again – I Fell in Love Playing Marvel vs. Capcom
7. I Have Read Other Books Besides The Catcher in the Rye – To Beat, From Gum
8. Captain #1 – Bring Sega Back

Included in the download is a new digital album covered designed by Barry at The Nomad Junkyard (very awesome). Also, tomorrow we will post (the much delayed) ordering info and images of the physical CD. Another local band has been recording a special bonus track that will only be available on the CD, it's all about Shinobi and the all consuming powers of revenge. It is a very awesome track! We finished recording it last night. A preview of the song's epic outro: "And the stars are in your hands / Will you use them up on me? / Do they follow your demands? / Or are they your slavery?"

OH and if the website is ever down check back and within a day it should be back or point people to this link (it is always live: http://apps.ihaveadreamcast.com/Blog/)

 

 

Enjoy!!

Our domain.. www.ihaveadreamcast.com is down for the weekend due to bandwidth issues but it'll be back sometime Monday. Despite the domain block the blog is still up and running you just have to use an RSS feed or send people this link: http://apps.ihaveadreamcast.com/blog/ . The album is still downloadable too.. so click on the entire below. On Monday, we'll post some of the fan art and ordering info for the physical copy of the CD (we'll include images of the packaging). Keep downloading!

As of midnight (April 7 – EST) I have posted a remastered version of the album. Most of the tracks remain untouched, but I fixed Grey Milk’s track “Venice is Dying” and Catcher’s track “To Gum, From Beat.” The bass and the volume were too overdriven in the original post. So I fix them. I’d suggest a re- download if you like those tunes (it truly is worth the extra few minutes).

All songs were written by the bands out of their love for Sega! Feel free to share these songs with whoever you think will enjoy them. Also, feel free to use the songs however you want. All the bands ask is to give them the song writing credit (and send us a link – cause we’d love to see/hear what you do with them).

Thanks again for everyone that tuned in on Sunday night. It seemed Justin.tv was having a number of problems but we prevailed. Interestingly, the website took a pretty hard hit Sunday night and the traffic continues to grow. In a little over 24 hours we have already exceeded our allotted bandwidth for the month! However, the website remains!! (I have moved the file to be hosted at a different location and will probably add a rapid share link later today).

I have more thoughts and comments about the album but I’ll save them for next week (I’ll let the download frenzy continue for the time being).

Spread the word!!

 

The download will be available SOON... after Bicycles & Gravel performs.. (around 8:30) Watch live video from I have a dreamcast on Justin.tv
