Stabilizer
Stabilizer is a true child of the internet.
Brad Podray and Ian Siegert met as complete strangers on opposite sides of the United States, over the net, and in mid-2005 they began working on "A Project Called Red"; Stabilizer's first album.
Credit for the album also goes to guest musicians Dan Dolan (Blood&Batteries), John Ploskina of (Luminous Ether) and Morgan Long.
Stabilizer have a new upcoming album; "A Fuse Slowly Burning", for which Dan Dolan will be a full band member.
Their truly unique sound is a result not only of the diversity of talents involved, but the collision of electronica and rock. Imagine Coldplay meets Nirvana, with electronically altered sounds that could never be recreated with the original instruments alone. It's been done before, but Stabilizer still manages to keep their sound unique, and above all, they make it work.
Originally, A Project Called Red was given away freely, like Open Source software - over the internet. This seemed entirely fitting given the circumstances of its production. Listeners were encouraged to download it, copy it and distribute it in any way they could, in the hope that they could bypass the conventional ladder and reach fame through fan-based internet distribution. A link to the torrent I used follows, http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/audio/stabilizer. Whether this still applies is unclear - Stabilizer have CDs for sale, but it doesn't state anywhere that you can't still distribute the music yourself.
