Here we go, major artists will start employing indie tactics to get their music out. As predicted in my previous article well-known artists will begin to release their releases using similar business models as RadioHead’s recent “pay-what-you-want” offering. In this case fans can purchase or download for free the Reznor and Williams collaboration entitled “Niggy Tardust.”
On the site, Williams states, “We need no priests to talk to God. No phone to call her. And when you click the link below, i think it fair that you should know that your purchase will make middlemen much poorer…” I can’t think of an artist who is as eloquent as Saul Williams. This should be an amazing display of non-genre specific music. I’m hoping for some hard-hitting soundscapes manuvered by Saul’s stylistic prose. Let the games commence.
