Nobodys_Fault Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 http://www.avclub.com/article/wu-tang-clan-releasing-single-copy-album-you-can-o-202691 The sole copy of Once Upon A Time In Shaolin will be encased inside an engraved silver-and-nickel box designed by British-Moroccan artist Yahya, then taken on a tour through museums, art galleries, and festivals. There—and only there—visitors will be able to listen to all 128 minutes of its 31 songs on headphones, and only after enduring a rigorous security check to eliminate the risk of any recording devices. Once the album has completed that tour, it will then be sold to a single buyer for a price estimated to be “in the millions.”This is ridiculous even by Wu standards.

GivenToFly Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Is this like that South Park episode when Cartman bough a theme park and kept it closed off and everybody wanted in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 And of course that album is going to leak.Wonder what they'll think of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Wow. So they hype this shit up for years and then don't even let anyone listen to it unless they happen to live in one of the cities that the "exhibit" comes through. How much will it cost to listen to it? How will they handle the queues when each person spends over an hour listening to the album? No one's going to hear the fucking thing. And of course that album is going to leak. Wonder what they'll think of that? Honestly, they're treating this thing like JD Salinger's Ocean Full of Bowling Balls. I doubt it ever leaks unless a second copy somehow finds its way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) End of the day it's The Clan so fuck everybody. All i can do is stand up and applaud, fuck it, I guess i'm looking to go to a museum. Wu Tang Forever Although yes, it appears The Clan done lost they GOD-damn mind Edited March 27, 2014 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I believe my Wu cred is well established, so the context is understood when I say fuck you, Wu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Whys everyone so annoyed here? The music there, it's being put out there, in a unique and imaginative way. You ask where are the greats of our times, where are the stunts, where are the people looking for new and interesting way to do shit and where are the people with unwaivering commitment to their craft...I give you the Wu Tang Clan. I think it's the best idea i heard in years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Wu should be about getting their music out to as many people as possible, and especially to the people who don't go to or don't have access to museums. This is pretentious shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Oh come on Mags, like no ones ever gonna hear it or something, it'll get out there, it's just a stunt man, i think its cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 If it still gets out there in a timely fashion, then fine. I won't think anything of the museum thing, but I won't hate it if it doesn't prevent the people from hearing the music. If they're for real with all this security shit and the album doesn't get out there, fuck them. That's not the Wu I love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Why? Find the release idea kinda pompous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Why? Find the release idea kinda pompous?Pretty much. The only thing like this that I've heard of is a JD Salinger manuscript at a library in the States somewhere. You have to do all these rigorous security checks and stuff just to get in and read it.Wu are not Salinger, they can't get away with this shit.

Guest NGOG Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Shitty for their following, but when you think about it, it's the most innovative anti-piracy concept yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Some company will buy it and release it or make some creative promotion. If they sell the one record as far as they are concerned that's it. Pretty genius if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
