Open Source music

Writing about web page http://www.theenemy.com/news.php?page=1&id=130

OK, perhaps I'm overstating this a little but Coventry band The Enemy have released their next single as 'source code', by which I mean all the component tracks are available individually for download.

It's presented in terms of a competition. Fans are encouraged to make their own remixes of the song and submit them back to the band. The band's favourite mix will appear on the b-side of the single.

I've done two, which have already gone off to the band and which I'll post here later. The licencing model is unclear ;-) but if I'm not selling them then I'm sure no one will mind. (Famous last words...)
