2. T.B.C., or Tony Brown to those in the electronic music industry, was the first and only artist that had exclusively signed a deal with Rocky Jones from DJ International Records. Specifically, Tony Brown signed a three-year deal, which insisted on three releases per year and a thousand dollars per track, which was quite a decent amount of money for house music in the early nineties. T.B.C. elucidated his enthusiasm for working with some of the best producers in the industry, namely Rocky Jones, Joe Smooth, Craig Loftis, Jessica Tuttle, Tyree Cooper and many more.
After one of the most successful releases, “The Way You Move,” from DJ International Records, which featured Jessica Tuttle and MC D, Brown joined up with his brother, Unsel Brown, at which point, the Brown Brothers were formed; a record was released under Many Mokiers between 1993-1996. The X-Files of Techno was slated for worldwide distribution shortly thereafter, and the label happened to be the very first internet record label, while being a part of a multi-media entity known as www.dancedance.com. 3000 vinyl copies were shipped out, which was an impressive feat for the group. Impressively, Ben Sims remixed one track for Music Man, while a few of the tracks were published for CD release.
The entire experience has been a great ride for all parties involved, and luckily there did not to be an expensive video in order to create success and sell records. In fact, simply utilizing Amazon, Youtube, CD Baby, and itunes has allowed for the proper promotion, according to Unsel Brown. Tony Brown has also worked with the late great Ron Murphy, who belonged to NSC Records & National Sounds for close to five years. In addition, the record company has had over twenty years of television and radio experience.
T.B.C. has taken part of recording some very original techno piano sounds in unison amid a rich texture of bass; he utilizes an impressive array of dance beats, buzzers, and synth sounds, which places itself safely in the genre of techno and house music.

T.B.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The voice that brought you here
'Cause the curtain call tends to reveal
Much more than it conceals
Sometimes it ain't the expectations that cripple you
Sometimes it's the lack thereof
Maybe your time machine landed with no coverage
Burned up, and left you to crash upon the bridge
And I've found another message
Written in the stars tonight
I hope I ain't wrong this time
'Cause the one thing I've learned from you is the one thing that you've never known
Sometimes a part-time thrill is a full-time home
What happens to a love deferred
I think we all know
How do you keep your cool in the end
Oh tell me straight, was I just another optimist with a strange knack for waiting for the worst
You can only make somebody happy if they really want you to
I just don't think you've got the nerve
What's more comfortable
Living off the rails, or giving everything just to cling onto the curve
And I've found another message
Written in the stars tonight
I hope I ain't wrong this time
'Cause the one thing I've learned from you is the one thing that you've never known
Sometimes a part-time thrill is a full-time home
And I've found another message
Written in the stars tonight
I hope I ain't wrong this time
If I don't play this card right, you might prefer to live all alone
But sometimes a part-time thrill is a full-time home
The lyrics of T.B.C.'s song "Constellation" capture the feelings of longing and loss that come with moving to a new place and leaving behind familiar people and surroundings. The first verse describes the singer laying their head on a railroad track and gazing up at the painted sky, a symbol of the vastness and beauty of the universe. However, the singer's train is gone and won't be returning, representing the sense of loss and absence they feel.
The chorus brings in the image of a constellation riding across the sky, a man made of dots and lines with no cigar or lady on his arm. This speaks to the notion that we make connections and see patterns in the world around us, even in things as seemingly random as the stars in the sky. The repetition of the line "just a guy made of dots and lines" emphasizes the idea that our perceptions of the world are subjective and constructed from our own experiences and interpretations.
The second verse further explores the singer's feelings of displacement and disconnection from their new environment. They had hoped to escape the city lights and find something deeper, but instead feel weighed down and obstructed by them. The final lines of the song ask if the listener can hear what the singer sees in the sky, suggesting a desire for connection and communication.
Overall, "Constellation" is a poignant meditation on the universal human experience of longing and searching for meaning, even in the face of loss and loneliness.
Line by Line Meaning
I lay my head on the railroad track
I am in a vulnerable and dangerous position. I am detached from the hustle and bustle of life with my head on the track wherein trains are passing by.
Stare at the sky all painted up
I look up at the beautiful night sky, so exquisitely displayed with twinkling stars and planets.
Your train is gone, won't be coming back
I have missed the opportunity to catch the train or opportunity to be with someone or achieve something significant.
See the constellation ride across the sky
I view the beautiful, celestial formations in the sky above me.
No cigar, no lady on his arm
The constellation is beautiful as it is, needing no embellishments or added adornments like a cigar or a lady accompanying it.
Just a guy made of dots and lines
The constellation is simply a collection of stars and lines, without any greater purpose or meaning.
Two years ago moved from my town
I left my hometown two years ago.
I was looking up past the city lights
I was trying to look past the artificiality of the city lights to observe the stars in the sky.
But the city lights got in my way
The overwhelming light pollution in the city made it difficult for me to enjoy the beauty of the stars and constellations in the sky.
I found my mind on the ground below
I became distracted by the trivialities of life and lost sight of the beauty above me.
I was looking down, it was looking back
The world below me began to take on a new significance and meaning as I began to truly observe it.
I was in the sky all dressed in black
Now I feel like I'm a part of the beautiful night sky, just like the constellations.
Can you hear what I see in the sky?
I am experiencing something beautiful and transcendent. I wonder if others can perceive and appreciate it as I do.

Not sure if the product is weak or the demonstration. Didn’t get anything useful from it😢
@Steve_Just_Steve
Thats great, you know what would be better? A layer manager that functions faster than molasses and not needing to pay a third party a subscription fee for basic core features...
@jesuswong5119
Wow you are crazy right.
@langweilig951
Do more videos with explanations of specific workflows. For example: Show us how to get a volume out of a stock pile. What is the benefit of the pointcloud classification? How can I generate lists of numbers of trees, sights, …
Trimble should present more example of use cases. Me as a user is not clear what benefits I’m getting from using TBC except of a good looking classified pointcloud.
@TrimbleBusinessCenter
More videos will be uploaded that focuses on the workflows in more detail.

I feel like Trimble has gone and completely ignored the basics like drafting and notes integration. More options of labelling angles, fixing their broken draw order. Not sure who asked for all those new features.
