r.e.m.IX

Directly from my inbox:

r.e.m.IX is a gift to the fans... A surprisingly fresh interpretation of songs from Reveal remixed by the likes of Andy LeMaster, Knobody, Dahoud Darien, Jamie Candiloro, Chef, Matthew Herbert and Her Space Holiday (Marc Bianchi's project).All ten tracks, along with artwork, are available for download at http://remhq.com.

"I like the idea that music lovers who are not R.E.M. or pop music fans might hear these songs having never heard the album version and take it as the definitive mix. That's exciting! I wanted them to completely reinterpret and rethink something we had done." -- Michael Stipe
