Free Music from Moby

Moby has released some of his music for free (as in free beer) on his website, or on a special site www. mobygratis.com.  Here's the man imself explaining it...

He actually first did this months ago (here he is promoting it in an older, slightly rougher, self made Youtube clip) but is still promoting it. The sign up is a little fiddly and he has a few stipulations (one one on "no violence" is a little weirds from the man who remixed the James Bond theme and gave music to Heat and the Bourne Trilogy) but I guess he means real acts of violence rather than fictional fight scenes.

No charge as long as the film is non-commercial/independent/not-for-profit, and you'll ave to buy the rights should your film ever actually make any money. These generally seem to be odd pieces of musical noodling (no he's not giving away "Natural Blues") and unfinished bits of tracks. I guess this s an atonement of sorts for letting the entire Play album be licensed to advertisers. But still, it's good of him and part of a growing trend for musicians to allow fans access to their music (see also Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails giving away re-mixable versions of their music).
