Neil Young Says See Ya To The CD
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008
All throughout 2007 it seemed like we were that much closer to the release of Neil Young’s multi-disc “Archives” set. But with delay after delay after delay it looked as though the collection would never see the light of day.
Or will it?
According to an interview with Billboard, Neil Young says “Archives” will “no doubt” be out this year. But get this - the set won’t be available on cd! Instead, Neil will release it solely on DVD and Blue-Ray. “Archives” will feature remastered music, interactive content and timelines to give a totally immersive Neil experience.
I’ve got mixed emotions about the whole notion. I still listen to cds in the car or at home. This new format means I won’t be able to take all this Neil music with me, or even put it onto my ipod. That being said, maybe this set is supposed to be more than just the music. It’s a historical document for the die-hards who love Neil Young and want to have a real experience with his music.
What are your thoughts on this potentially new Neil collection? Let me know.
Here’s your bonus word, good until midnight Tuesday: ARCHIVES
