I'm leaving for Vermont, for at least a week. I am packing as I type, (12/18/08). So, it might be awhile before I can return any favors of support; but I will do my best upon my return, and who knows, it's possible my sister has finally gotten high speed internet.

"May your Festivus be grievance free!"

Please consider actually purchasing a copy of my debut album: Strange Attractors, volume one. Simply click any of the following links, or the banner above, and you'll be able to get a copy for next to nothing, in my opinion. But then I've always thought that truly independent music like this should cost at least double what label produced music costs.

The album is currently available for sale through a number of online stores, and/or membership programs such as Napster, Emusic, and Rhapsody, (coming soon).

Lala, being only $7.49 for the entire album, or 79¢ per track, with full length listens for free, check it out by clicking: http://www.lala.com/#album/2306124484406485096/

Amazon.com, is a good second, the album is available for only $8.99, and you can redeem Pepsi points, (wacky I know), and pay nothing, assuming you really like Pepsi products. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AUPIOW/

I've recently heard that it would be added to amazon.co.uk aswell.

Amie Street, my tracks are also available but for only $2.55 for the album, or just 15¢ per track, making it the least expensive at this time. Get it while it lasts at this price, (the price goes up based on demand). FYI, I have no idea how they classified it as "Dance/New Age", but it is amusing nonetheless. http://www.amiestreet.com/music/obi-das/

If you're new to Amie Street, and would like to sign-up for their $5 of free music program, click here: http://amiestreet.com/_l/tunecore and get the LP at no cost to you, while available for under $5.00, (which it still is).

Shockhound, most recently the LP just came online in Shockhound digital store. With a price equal to that in the iTunes music store, $9.99 for the full disc, or 99¢ per track. Here's a link: http://www.shockhound.com/albums/164690 and somehow my album was categorized as Jazz, which is cool, but is unusual to say the least.

iTunes, last but not least, and where my "Available NOW!!!" banner'll take you; the album is available internationally via iTunes Australia/New Zealand, iTunes Canada, iTunes UK/European Union, iTunes Japan, as well as here at home in the US iTunes store, for $9.99, being sold as an "iTunes Plus" item. Here's the link: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=281275138

If you happen to be a label on this site, you can win the daily $10 iTunes Gift Card in the POINT STORE, and pay nothing, while getting the highest quality available. Yahoo for being a label.

GroupieTunes, for custom made ring-tones for your phone, (they've got an awesome way of creating custom ring-tones from audio tracks). Here's the link: http://www.groupietunes.com/artists/ObiDas

Some of my friends can be found and heard by clicking below. Since I am still on the front browse page, I figured I should try and redistribute some of my space for their benefit.

If you're interested in a banner swop, I am still offering them to my Artist friends; just drop me a message, so I know what you're looking for, and I'll try to accommodate you.

If you're looking to get one made for yourself, and don't know where to turn, both myself, and Western Ferris, of No Fallback Plan can help; just let us know what you're looking for, and what you've got as far as images. It all starts when you send me, or him, a message. FYI, my rates are a good bit higher, being about $30 to $50 without animation, (still cheap), for a large banner creation, hosting, and the ease of copy/paste code.

A NOTE TO LABELS: If you decide to sign me, I'll reply with a link which will give you access to a special URL, which will give you the ability to download my entire LP, as a single .zip file, which contains: 17 individual .mp3 files, at 192kps/44.1khz, (a tiny bit lower in quality than is available for sale above), all fully tagged, and completely DRM free, with high resolution art. Not to mention I am a very good regular point producer. It seems as though the site has now made holding a top position almost meaningless, for which I personally thank them. I've been as high as #2, and as far back as #24, and have reached the conclusion that it is of almost no real importance, after a certain point. But now that the top 6 Artists can't get the free homepage link, there's no reason for us to go crazy(er), trying to top each other. I'm a lover, not a fighter, anyway. Hehe. ;-) Well it appears that "Winter Geese" made it into the top 10, for the "Like Dandelion Dust" soundtrack contest followed hotly by the remainder of my tracks. So THANK YOU all, so much; its like Christmas on July first. Lets keep our collective fingers crossed. ;-) Thanks again. It'd appear as though quite a few of my early tracks are being used by film makers as "temp" score pieces in various projects, so yeah!!! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that my music is being used, right beside Peter Gabriel's soundtrack LP: Passion; even if I'm not getting paid for it. Please Digg this page, or drop a tag on this page for del.icio.us, or Stumble!, so we can really make this the epicenter of online/streaming music. I'm not sure if anyone'll get any credit for new listeners, I'm just pretty sure we'll all win big if we can get more ears on our collective music. If anyone, either Artist or Label, wants any help getting going with this site. Just drop me a message, and I'll hit you back with some advice. Some of the workings of the site, and how to maximize point scores, can be somewhat tricky to understand, so I figured I'd offer to help out the many fresh faces on here. And no, I don't get paid for it, or maybe I should say "WILL WORK FOR DOWNLOADS.". I just sleep very little, and am generally on this site every 6-8 hours or so. Just pretty please, at least use correct American English grammar, and spelling. While I can speak 5-6 languages, I can only read the one. The name Obi Das came to me in a dream. The person I met in that dream told me that I could use the name, but only for things that I did really well. In any case, and as odd as it might sound I think I've made a great album, and so felt it an appropriate name for my sonic self. The "Strange Attractors" part came from my interest in subatomic particles. In fact my nickname in highschool was "Quarky", because in 11th grade I knew the 6 species of quarks by heart; but back to the meaning of the title... When 2, or more "strange quarks" are in proximity they produce a "strange attraction". Which simply means that their reactions are erratic and unpredictable, (unless/until they find other particles at CERN). The third part, "volume one", is due to my love of making music of this sort. I thought it'd be needed in order to tell LP(s) apart, since there are many more to follow. As this is my first foray into music, it became "volume one". Put it all together, and you get: Obi Das: Strange Attractors, volume one. I'm currently hard at work on volume two, of the Strange Attractors set, which is currently slated for a hopeful, (no guarantees), May 2009 release; just in time for my 35th birthday.
