The Prodigy are to release the track 'Memphis Bells' as a digital download available in a strictly limited edition of 5,000. Each of the 5,000 downloads will be a unique variation of the track, accompanied with a unique variation of the artwork. It will be available on June 28th at 18.00hrs GMT from www.alwaysoutnumbered.com.
Through the interface which will include a printable sleeve, unique to the mix, fans will be able to choose from various bell melodys, drum options and guitar options, then have the choice of type of mix - an original mix, a headphone mix for your iPod, a bass heavy mix for DJ's and a 5.1 surround sound mix. Each downloaded track and piece of artwork will be individually numbered to create a genuinely personal limited edition. Cost per download is £2.

I strongly support this idea. The price seems fair, as Mr. Howlett seems to be putting a lot of effort on this (as far as I've understood) and he once mentioned about this goal of "changing the tune every now and then" (I guess he was talking to someone from Underworld, as they're know for changing their tunes when playing live).
If they allow bank debit from my bank (which I don't think it's likely to happen, unfortunately), I will sure try to buy my copy. |

I like the sound of this. It is certainly a novel idea not unlike Prince's recent CD giveaways at concerts to count for sales in an oblique way, but I do wonder:
Are each of the 5,000 downloads individually "hand-crafted" by Liam himself or is this in fact the work of a computer program, which customizes the raw audio data by slicing and dicing 8-bar sections and crossfading and whatnot as necessary . . . and then encodes the music into a conveniently downloadable format (like MP3) for your final enjoyment?
Likewise, it sounds to me like the different mixes for different playback media may be variations on a theme, processed by a selection of EQ settings. 5.1 surround sound can be downmixed to stereo, and as for the DJ mix, "pump up the bass", as is commonly said.
I am interested nonetheless. :) |

| I'd be interested to find out exactly how 'unique' each one of these tracks is (i think however it will perhaps only be slight diferences in structure of track, eq settings ect.) - we will see, I hope I'm plesantly suprised :crazy: |
