Idea

[undarrenworld]

Just thinking if some band ever did this thing with digital release, only digital release. I mean well known band like Underworld...



It will be nice to know who came with this idea first, if it was really Uw.
And if yes was it Rick, Karl or Pricey

well... the "idea" is probably from steve jobs

lots of singles are digital release only these days.

A number of bands/musicians have done this or something similar. The first, and probably most notable was Public Enemy, who released an album online during the whole Napster/Metallica debacle. Junkie XL I believe is another artist who has been doing web-based releases of music that might otherwise go unreleased.

Correct, JXL did online release simultanious with his last album release in 2003 (i think) (it's awesome too!)
