I read about this last week, nice move, not something I would listen to though. Hopefully other bands/artist will follow

**DesautocaD** · 10-10-2007, 09:32 PM

I liked The Bends, and some tracks off OK Computer (such as Paranoid Android). Everything else since has sounded like self-indulgent pap. Have they finally gotten real and started making listenable noises again?

Waiting for my confirmation code now. I was a sucker and paid 5 pounds...

A recording artist will make between 50p and £2 per CD on the sale of an album if it's released through a normal record deal, depending on how good a deal they've got. They've had to do their own marketing, but have no physical production costs, I reckon about £3 to 5 would be a 'fair' price.

Lots of people are paying like £10 for it, and they are selling the double CD + double LP boxed set for £40 so I reckon they'll be ok.

What is the difference between buying the CD and buying the songs as mp3s and burning them onto a CD?

You would end up with the same product, but wouldn't have to wait for the CD release.

Thanks MikeH. I don't download mp3s, so I hadn't realized there was a quality issue. The packaging and artwork hold little or no value for me.

My tastes will change over the next few listenings I'm sure... but at the moment I'm really digging "All I need".

I wish they'd included this version of "Down is the new up", though...

Is Radiohead any good?

**gydrorway** · 10-20-2007, 03:42 AM

I heard on the radio that they have made over 10 million dollars in only one week, this seems to be working fine

**carfAball** · 10-20-2007, 01:55 PM

Wow.. mightn't work for other bands though. I'm sure the windfall is also due to the fact that they were the first band (major band) to do something like this.

I'm really digging "Reckoner" right now.
