Halo 26, Ghosts I-IV has just been announced at the nine inch nails website. It's a collection of 36 instrumental tracks created with no clear agenda, with the entire process being driven by impulse and improvisation.
Of it, Trent says:
We began improvising and let the music decide the direction. Eyes were closed, hands played instruments and it began. Within a matter of days it became clear ...

In my last post, I detailed the ten albums that earned the highest ratings from me during 2007. But while I did find them each to be fantastic recordings, ratings don't necessarily reflect popularity. That is to say that the most highly rated albums might not have been the most often played.
Indeed that's not the case. I took data from the past year and ran it through my Impact ...

No announcement on dead air space or inrainbows.com. And no rumblings on the net save for this report about one fan receiving it early. But today, Saturday Dec 1, is the last day for Radiohead to make good on its promise to ship the Diskbox version of In Rainbows "before 3rd December 2007."
So it begs the question: Are the packages in the mail? Will legions of fans worldwide receive ...

So Amazon recently threw its hat into the thunderdome of online digital music sales. The store's big brand name and huge retail operation instantly make it one of the top tier marts for digital music. As Amazon MP3 is seen primarily as a challenger to the iTunes Store's throne, I originally wanted to do a compare and contrast with that gorilla, but later thought that unfair to eMusic, who ...

Via this 9rules note:
HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE DOWNLOAD:
THE ALBUM WILL COME AS A 48.4MB ZIP FILE CONTAINING 10 X 160KBPS DRM FREE MP3s.
I haven't placed an order for In Rainbows yet because I was waiting to find out the quality and format of the digital files. With this news I'm a little disappointed. Sure, 160kbps is quite *acceptable* but I consider 192kbps to be my minimum bitrate ...

All the recent Radiohead hoopla reminded me about the band's other driving creative force: Johnny Greenwood. He's the lead guitarist and multi-instrumentalist responsible for a lot of those awesome riffs that Radiohead fans love oh-so-much (he tied with fellow band member Ed O'Brien as Rolling Stones' 59th and 60th greatest guitar players of all time). Besides his work in a rock band, Greenwood also composes music of a more ...

It's been nearly forty-eight hours have passed since Radiohead's surprise announcement set off an explosion of fandom around the web. Indeed, Blogpulse shows a more than 1300% increase in the number of posts mentioning the band from September 29 to October 1. Of course, a new Radiohead album is big news, especially after a four year wait, but the real source of conversation is the band's decision to allow ...

We've called it In Rainbows.
Love from us all.
