Weightlessness

Packaged in a slim, clear Maxi CD jewel case, with a J-card insert. Also released digitally in March 1996 exclusively on Cerberus Digital Jukebox, making it the first (?) release by an artist/record label solely via the internet; "In 1996 it took a dial-up and ages to download an audio track via the London based Cerberus Digital Jukebox. CDJ was run by pioneer Ricky Adar who was embracing the new mp3 technology but the big record companies feared this as a threat to CD sales and rejected licensing their artists, meaning CDJ was way ahead of its time. However it paved the way for the likes of Napster and iTunes and by the new century - the time the internet world had caught up with speed, graphics, audio and secure payment . However Aquamanda's Weightlessness was offered as one of the free trial downloads along with the software to encourage worldwide users, so it was one of the first songs to be "Weightless" (hence the deliberate method choice of release) floating round the ethers from 1996".
