In 2006, the British Band Radiohead released their fifth album named "In Rainbows". This album is considered as a piece of art by the tablods and the listners, and so do I. "In Rainbows" is in advance on his time on multiple points. First of all, the way the band released their album is particularr for this time... The band sign at their debut with the record company EMI, which also produced Queen and other big names. But very fast, members of Radiohead dreams bigger and they have the desire to compose in the way they attended, without the pressure of EMI. With this desire, they quit the major and Alex Dupont, the singer and leader, had a clear idea in his mind : release their new project on Internet. It was the very fisrt time in the music history that a band drop their album on the net, and morover, the price is free ! You can pay what you want for listening the album, and there is non intermediary between you and the artist. For Radiohead, pleased by the brillant idea of Alex Dupont, "In Rainbows" has been there biggest success in term of sales and money. This need of liberty leads the group in an another dimension, and so does the music.
The music is not in rest. "In Rainbows" is a perfect mixt of electronic music, rock alternative and trans rythms (inspired from Africa) wich make the music special. All the tracks on this album are the results of long process of reshearch and recording. For all of this, "In rainbows" is propably one of the best album for me, sign of an artiscal emencipation of the music from capitalism.
