From Trayd - Public Domain album description on Jamendo:

“During 2005, for over nine months they collaborated, all without having ever spoken to each other (only e-mailed), and produced a strikingly original work. Combining elements of trip-hop, alt. rock, classical instrumentation, and electronica, Public Domain breaks the mold of what you’d expect.*

The music is very good, enjoyable and well produced. It is available for download and released under the creative commons license allowing it to be freely shared, copied, and remixed. Be sure to check out their other collabrative works including the newly released album ‘Listen’ on Jamendo.
