Taika-Kim Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 This has circulated here before probably, but anyway: A big part of the Flying Rhino back catalogue is available for free at their website. Ni,cce Quote
andonis Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Yes, but it is in 128kbps which is a shame. Quote
piginspace Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 plus there seems to be some problems with hackers who put malware on that site - which is also a shame. Quote

Basilisk Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 What a missed opportunity. I've tried to approach them numerous times to do it right but the level of interest over there seems to be pretty low. Quote
psytones Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 As someone who was late about knowing about Flying Rhinos music, I'm just very happy to have the honer of DL their music for free at all, 128 or Wav, for me personally it wasn't that important. Quote
iTranscendence Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 If they are already giving it away for free... Considering the sheer dedication the entire Psy community has to music preservation. I'm betting there are higher quality rips out there if you look for them. JS http://www.discogs.com/label/Flying+Rhino+Records Quote
psytones Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 .. music preservation. important important Quote
Taika-Kim Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Yes but I don't have an internet connection anymore so I don't have time to hang around in p2p networks Works for me Quote
piginspace Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Malware? How do you know? 2 times I entered the site, I got an alarm from my antivirus/spybot and one time the whole page was actually replaced by a guy from turkey. I do not get any warnings at the moment, so I guess it is clean. Quote
iTranscendence Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Yes but I don't have an internet connection anymore so I don't have time to hang around in p2p networks Works for me Just find a wifi hotspot and let loose. Quote
deepXcode Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Yes, there were several topics here about this subject. The most infromative one is this - is flying rhino records coming back? (I created the link right to the official message left by the FR guys, quoted from Isratrance itself). I was very curious about this myself and discovered about it simply by looking on FR profile at Discogs, where its been said that the former label is giving away most of its back catalogue for free. The most valuable for me were Darshan's and Blue Planet Corporation releases. When I went to "CD Albums back catalogue" page, I discovered that MOST of the songs are NOT downloadable! Hovewer, they all been actually uploaded as you can see for example at this link http://flyingrhino.co.uk/mp3/ (there are also many happy posts over net from people who have discovered this link). Hovewer, the homepage of the website was "defaced" by a turkish hacker as it been saying. Which all was making the overall feeling about this been not very legal. I then downloaded the BPC album in its Vynil version. As the CD one was unavailable for download from the front end. Just few days ago I contacted BPC over myspace. And Gabriel (the band member) told me that he gave absolutely no permission to FR to distribute his records for free! And that after the label gets shut down, all the rights to the records come back to the author. Also, at that time (few days ago) the homepage was still defaced. I also tried to contact FR with absolutely no response. I also wanted to continue the discussion here.. but then, finally, decided to forget about it. But now, since the homepage is restored, it means there is a movement. So lets wait and see. Quote
qa2pir Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Anyone got any suggestions except for the obvious artist albums (BPC, GNOTR, Darshan etc)? Quote
phyre Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Most of these albums are available to download either .zip or .rar at http://rabidhummingbird.blogspot.com/search/label/Flying%20Rhino%20Records. Albums range from 128-320 kbps Quote
Taika-Kim Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Just find a wifi hotspot and let loose. Hmm, with what? My brains?? Quote
AlieNed Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 What a missed opportunity. I've tried to approach them numerous times to do it right but the level of interest over there seems to be pretty low. who exactly regrets to communicate ? james monro ? Quote
