Nuevo disco solista de nuestro querido y poco prolifico hombrecillo de mirada asimétrica. Esta vez distribuido via Bittorrent :
"As an experiment we are using a new version of BitTorrent to distribute a new Thom Yorke record.
The new Torrent files have a pay gate to access a bundle of files..
The files can be anything, but in this case is an 'album'.
It’s an experiment to see if the mechanics of the system are something that the general public can get its head around ...
If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work.
Enabling those people who make either music, video or any other kind of digital content to sell it themselves.
Bypassing the self elected gate-keepers.
If it works anyone can do this exactly as we have done.
The torrent mechanism does not require any server uploading or hosting costs or ‘cloud’ malarkey.
It's a self-contained embeddable shop front...
The network not only carries the traffic, it also hosts the file. The file is in the network.
Oh yes and it's called
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes. "

¿Qué os ha parecido? Solo le he pegado un par de escuchas pero me ha sorprendido gratamente, es un disco bastante intimista y minimalista y con grán enfasis en las texturas y el sonido, por momentos me ha recordado al The Noise Made By People de Broadcast. Por lo pronto me parece un disco bastante notable y muchisimo mas cohesivo y con mas personalidad que Amok.
Así lo pongo como noticia y queda presioso.
