Visionaire is coming at you straight outta blogworld for its next release. Its 53rd issue, “Sound,” will be released this December and features contributions from, among others, David Byrne, the Knife, Animal Collective, Cat Power, Michael Stipe, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, Antony and the Johnsons, Andrew WK, Yoko Ono, Adrock, Danger Mouse, Malcolm McLaren, Sunn O))) and Gang Gang Dance. The contributions will amount to over 100 minutes worth of previously unreleased audio (don’t count on all of these to be “songs”). The images on the picture discs have been designed by noteworthy record sleeve designers, including
Peter Saville,
Raymond Pettibon and
Robert Longo.
And talk about packaging: Only 4,000 numbered copies of “Sound” will be released, and the full package includes the five records, an acrylic dome case, a booklet and two CDs backing all of the audio content. No record player? Don’t fret, the package also includes a battery-operated toy truck that drives along the records’ grooves and plays the albums. Woah sweet. Can I hook it up to my iPhone?
