Taking Marketing Cues from Alphex Twin Richard James AKA Alphex Twin is a british electronic musician described by the guardian newspaper as "the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music. Known for his outlandish marketing efforts it appears that Alphex Twin is at it again. His latest release goes the length of embedding his "demonic" face directly into the audio of track #2 (often referred to as "Equation"). It works by analyzing the audio with a spectrograph (note to self: keep a spectrograph conveniently stacked by my CD collection) which then decodes the audi and plots it in a frequency/time format. Pretty cool. If your looking to do any wacky marketing for your next release then you just might have stumbled across the holy grail.

The Nydailynews says that radio is not supposed to be here right now. First, the TV was supposed to kill the radio by changing it from an audio to a visual medium, that didn't work so much. Then MTV was supposed to be the radio killer back promoting a product that sucked the magic out of songs by pre-empting the listener's imagination - again the radio withstood the test of time. To be fair MTVs claim was that television and radio could work together, promoting and enhancing the other and thats exactly what happened. iPods, and social media are the disruptive technologies now but something tells me many other mediums will kick the bucket before our good ol friend the radio lays its head to rest.
