Neat idea, excellent promo tool, but I can't help wondering why they don't just leave it to the Black Keys to sound like the Black Keys? posted by mhjb at 7:41 PM on July 23, 2011
This is something I wish more music had.
On a related note, I wish concert broadcasts let you choose which camera to watch from - I absolutely hate it when I'm trying to watch one performer and the camera keeps being taken away from them. posted by LSK at 10:59 PM on July 23, 2011
Neat. I keep waiting for the next generation of digital audio format to be this. Multi-track by default, metadata-enabled for timestamped lyrics/text, programmatically enabled for Javascript Audio API calls. The user would be able to easily time stretch, mix and match tracks from different songs, overdub and re-EQ. posted by jeffehobbs at 4:45 AM on July 24, 2011
I, too, wish more bands did this.
It's really fun to play around with, and it's a good promotional tool as well. posted by Fister Roboto at 11:26 AM on July 24, 2011
I saw MUTEMATH at the Virgin festival with Bjork a few years ago. They put on a ridiculously awesome show. The lead singer was crowd-diving from the top of his amp tower. Craziness.
I bought their album but found it over-produced and lifeless. I guess they were one of those bands that needs a crowd's energy (and great lighting effects). I'll see if this new album is any different. posted by Popular Ethics at 3:12 PM on July 24, 2011
Seriously..cool idea!
