Neil After Nine - Neil Young Week
Win Neil Young Archives Volume 1 1963-1972
Neil Young’s highly anticipated collection Archives Volume 1 1963-1972 has just been released. The box set is the most innovative compilation ever assembled, focusing on the life of one of the most original musical artists of the rock era. It features new technology to follow Young’s career, and will be available in three different formats: Blu-ray, DVD and CD.
The Blu-ray edition presents the new technology of an interactive platform with music, video and text, and allows for material to be added later via the internet. The Archives, like Neil Young himself, is breaking brand new ground for how music can be presented.
Neil Young’s Archives series is something music fans have been talking about for years. In many ways, the technology had to be invented before the release could happen. And now that it is ready for release, it is part of what the future of music will be. Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times recently heard and viewed the Archives in Austin at the South X Southwest conference and wrote: “Not only is it absolutely amazing, it quite possibly is a model for the only kind of recorded product that independent and chain stores alike will still be selling in the post-CD future.” Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune observed, “The Archives appears to be nothing less than revolutionary in how it will present an artist’s back catalogue.”
To mark the event I will be doing a week long Neil after nine special next week on the show. I will be dedicating the last hour of the show each night to the great man and giving you the chance to win some of his best back catalogue as well as the chance to win this amazing box set.
