Did you feel the earth move?
I think the heavens opened up and a loud voice said, a new album from Radiohead is available 10/10/2007 (via download) choirs singing. It’s available in two formats – discbox and digital download. The discbox is set to be released December 3, 2007.
And best of all for the digital download – you name the price. really.
I love the fact that they’re real artists who set the game. Recently they pulled out of iTunes because they didn’t want their songs being sold separately but as complete albums. I respect that. I love the lost art of the album. The concept of the album has lost it’s meaning for today’s hitmakers. Call me old school. That’s just the way it is.
ooh, i want to check out this record.
LT — Wow! “In Rainbows” is fantastic. I decided to test their “you name the price” policy and I did indeed download the album for free. But I’m no pirate! I want to support amazing music like this, and I will be paying something soon… really 🙂
I second your support of the lost art of the album. Hot singles and smash hits are great and all, but it’s sad when that becomes the ultimate model for the music industry. Of course, it is an industry and it’s about making money, but part of me wants to believe that there is still art in all this commerce — and listening to “In Rainbows” restores some of that hope!
