Dark Night Of The Soul is an album by audio auteur Danger Mouse and the already much-missed Sparklehorse. The record sees the pair joined by the following remarkable roll call of guests: The Flaming Lips, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), Black Francis (The Pixies), Iggy Pop, David Lynch, James Mercer (The Shins/Broken Bells), Nina Persson (The Cardigans), Suzanne Vega and Vic Chesnutt. Rumors of this mysterious collaborative project began to circulate in early 2009 sparking widespread anticipation and excitement. Now, following months of talks, Danger Mouse and EMI are excited and proud to announce that Dark Night Of The Soul will be released worldwide in July. While this beautiful, haunting record being made widely and legitimately available is undoubtedly a cause for celebration, the news is shadowed by sadness following the recent passing of Mark Linkous, who released and performed under the Sparklehorse pseudonym. Dark Night Of The Soul will now stand as a de facto tribute to this well-loved, stunningly talented yet often-overlooked artist. In addition to featuring on two songs, celebrated fi lm director David Lynch has created a series of original photographs for Dark Night Of The Soul adding a spectacular visual dimension that will be incorporated in to the artwork for this already unparalleled project.
This is a great box set! Amazons description may confuse some people...you aren't getting 4 discs as it states at initial glance, but you will see in the detailed part of description contents that you are in fact getting 2 LP's and 2 CD's. Additionally you get a poster, some photo cards and a large booklet containing photos and some brief song lyric quotes. The 2 LP's have the same recorded songs that are featured on the original CD. The part that I enjoy is the other instrumental CD which leaves off the vocals so you can in fact sing to it and even make your own album by recording your voice onto the instrumentals using a music software off your home computer producing a mp3 file of your own. I've done this and had a lot of fun with the process, which makes this a worthwhile package if you can grab it at a reasonable price.
