20/05/18 - Library Music on wider digital distribution

In an unusual move - and one we seemingly missed for some time - it seems two of the band's library music collections can now be easily purchased by general listeners. Some tension exists in the fanbase at the existence of a huge bulk of Dougans / Cobain tracks that are unable for fans to purchase, existing only in library music collections available to industry professionals licensing them for use in TV, film, radio etc. However, two recent collections - The Research Remixed and Jazzstep are on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon and, undoubtedly, all the other major digital distributors. The former is listed under the name Tripletone (the alias of Cranium Pie's Robin Appleton, whose tracks were remixed by Brian, Gaz and Will White under the name Bugbeats for this release), and the latter is simply listed as Brian Dougans, Garry Cobain, Will White. The two sets are around half an hour each and quite enjoyable, particularly The Research Remixed, which was the first Dougans / Cobain / Appleton / White project, a lineup that has since gone on to record last year's Paradigmension album under the name Ai.
