Appropriate label to release it

Excited to have The Normal back after all these years to release some silence. Can’t imagine how they’ll sound now!!!

Nonsense really isn’t it

This will no doubt get a lot of snarky comments from people on here but I think it’s a pretty cool idea – way better than the campaign to get 4’33” to number one a few years ago. Will genuinely be interested to hear/see what people do to interpret the piece, and the list of artists is impressive.

I have reasonably bad tinnitus and BTA do great stuff (as do Help Musicians) so slightly gimmicky ideas like this which raise money is good in my book.

Bit of a gimmick but the cause has a nice ring to it

My only concern is that a physical release would be a bit of a waste of resources m864

But I dunno if that’s even a thing

I read the headline as relating to Muse and was hopeful that at last they were about to release something I could listen to without active discomfort
