Mars Volta has joined the ranks of artists who’ve introduced music via USB Albums. Their latest album, The Bedlam in Goliath is was available on a 1GB drive but is now sold out due to popular demand. The drive included album artwork and music video Wax Simulacra and what’s interesting about this Mars Volta offering – after Feb 29th connecting the USB music album to your computer allows unique content download from the Mars Volta website. Including B-side material, webisodes and limited edition wallpaper.
I’ve mentioned before about the death of the CD because of the recent trend in USB music albums and with dropping flash memory prices I believe this music trend will continue and grow in strength, numbers and popularity.
Here is the Mars Volta web page and the dedicated order page (sold out now) for the USB music album ($29).
