Beats Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 http://www.nme.com/news/kaiser-chiefs/57057 Kaiser Chiefs have released their new album ?The Future Is Medieval? today (June 3) ? and have given fans the opportunity to build their own version of the LP by compiling the tracklisting on kaiserchiefs.com. By paying ?7.50 to download the record, listeners will be able to essentially create their own unique version of the album by choosing their favourite 10 tracks from the selection of 20 on offer, as well as being able to create their own artwork. They will also be able to share their version of the record with other people once it has been created, and earn ?1 each time it is purchased by someone else. Kaiser Chiefs drummer Rick Wilson said: "Is it the future of music? We can?t tell you that. If people want to compare it to Radiohead, that's their business. But we hope it might be a catalyst for other people to try similar things. Mix it up a bit." Drummer Nick Hodgson added: "As a band, in terms of the record we?d each choose to create, we probably have a crossover of about five. The same five would appear in everyone?s top five. Then the rest would be according to each member?s taste. "It was a great way of working, because you didn?t have to think about what you wanted to say so much. You could concentrate on making the song true to itself, rather than making it fit some bigger picture. You didn?t need to think where it would fit within a running order or a theme." Whether you like the band or not I think this is a cracking way to release a Record. I enjoyed there first 2 albums.The 3rd wasn't great but I'm hopeful the new one is going to be decent. New single is decent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX3yfldi7Zg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
