Radiohead - In Rainbows - a Digital Release



Just got myself a copy of Radiohead's newest album. Despite the album being somewhat mediocre in comparison to previous albums "OK Computer" and "Amnesiac" , this album is revolutionary in a different way. The way it was released...

There are 2 versions of the album, one will be the box deluxe set that will be released in December for £40 (about $81). The other is a download version off their website that costs whatever, you want. This would be the first ever release of an anticipated album that completely skips any producing record companies, without a suggested sales price.

Intriguing how the times have changed with technology, artists now have a choice in releasing their music to the world directly, with payment options right up front. No more middlemen, which means, no more need for corporate big guns controlling the industry. Please support Radiohead by donating for downloading the album to their website www.inrainbows.com in support for their music and for that this method of music sales actually works!
