Danger Mouse to release blank CD
Danger Mouse is to release a blank CD, after record label EMI reportedly cancelled his new album. Dark Night Of The Soul, a collaboration with rock group Sparklehorse, also features Iggy Pop and The Flaming Lips, along with artwork by David Lynch. It has already been streamed online , but Billboard magazine said a “legal dispute” with EMI derailed the project. A spokesperson for the producer said: “Danger Mouse remains hugely proud of Dark Night of the Soul and hopes that people lucky enough to hear the music, by whatever means, are as excited by it as he is.” He added that the album, which comes with a limited edition, “100+ page book” of David Lynch photographs inspired by the music “will now come with a blank, recordable CD-R “. “All copies will be clearly labelled: ‘For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.‘ ” Fans can just download the music off a P2P site and burn it to the CD-R. [via BBC NEWS]
