The grey album book6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() It is an important and compelling case study about the status of the album as a cultural form in an era when the album appears to be losing its coherence and power. The Grey Album matters because it is more than just a clever, if legally ambiguous, amalgam. The Grey Album highlighted, by its very form, the profound changes wrought by the new technology and represented the struggle over the tectonic shifts in the production, distribution and consumption of music. The album's suppression inspired widespread digital civil disobedience and brought a series of contests and conflicts over creative autonomy in the online world to mainstream awareness. The online release and circulation of what Danger Mouse called his 'art project' was an unexpected watershed in the turn-of-the-century brawls over digital creative practice. This book marks the tenth anniversary of The Grey Album. ![]() Print Danger Mouse's The Grey Album 33 1/3 ![]()
