about

The Dance of Antoine was the first album ever to be exclusively released online. It was originally part of the Internet Art Museum's digital art project. IAMfree was an online art museum created in 1994 by ARTnet in Silicon Valley, CA. Its mission was to develop and distribute original art that was meant to be reproduced and give it away for free. IAMfree teamed up with IUMA, The Internet Underground Music Archive, to compress and distribute the music and produce live streaming concerts from multiple locations utilizing ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode).

The album was The Slowest Train in the World's tenth (or so) and was inspired by the French film, The Hairdresser's Husband. The music and the soundtrack of the film integrated middle eastern themes and discordant strings to create an exotic concoction that resonated with the band. Antoine is the main character of the film and in it, he loved to dance and prance around to impress his lover. This enamored the band to the film.

The Slowest Train in the World was an experimental group featuring a variety of members and styles, but the core group of Tim Alexander, Kevin McCaughey, Mark Stover, and James Callahan persisted throughout their tenure.
