Dark Night of the Soul

dark-night-soulAgain Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) has engaged in a project, called Dark Night of the Soul,  that has problems on the legal side of business. He joined Sparklehorse and lots of guest singers in this project next to film director David Lynch who made some awesome pics to it. All compiled in a beautiful book (sold out already) with a CD. However due to legal problems with EMI the CD is impossible to release. So he made a download of the recordings and has put a CDR in the book so you can download it to the CDR! Daring as always ;-)

Danger Mouse’s original post..

” Danger mouse’s new project Dark Night Of The Soul consists of an album length piece of music by Danger Mouse , Sparklehorse and a host of guests vocalists, along with a collection of original David Lynch photography inspired and based on the music..
The photographs which provide a visual narrative for the music are compiled in a limited edition, hand numbered 100+page book which will now come with a blank recordable cd-r. All copies will be clearly labeled: For legal reasons, enclosed cd-r contains no music. Use it as you will..
Due to an ongoing dispute with EMI, Danger Mouse is unable to release the recorded music for Dark Night Of The Soul without fear of being sued by EMI..
Danger Mouse remains hugely proud of Dark Night Of The Soul and hopes that people lucky enough to hear the music by whatever means are as excited by it as he is.. “

    Thanks for visiting our blog. The Jneiro Jarel tape was from the lex records twitter. The Dark night was a combination of sites and through a friend who knows I like Dangermouse and Lynch! I took the quote from you!
    So I my guess was that linking to you wasn’t really true to the rest of the sources ;-)
    But I think your site is really cool. I’ve put it in my must visit frequently list!
