Various Artists - "The WIRED CD Rip. Sample. Mash. Share"

Very good compilation (8/10)

Editée par le magazine américan WIRED à plus de 750 000 exemplaires, cette compilation d'artistes reconnus, la première du genre, marque un tournant dans l'histoire de Creative Commons, et peut être même dans l'histoire de la musique.

Elle est le témoignage de l'adoption de Creative Commons par des groupes tels que les Beastie Boys, ou Gilberto Gil, le ministre de la culture Brésilien (et artiste avant tout !), et bien d'autres.

This is a very good compilation from the variety of artists, some of which are well-known, like Beastie Boys or David Byrne. The compilation is very diverse stylistically, ranging from hip-hop, r&b and latino through rock to electronica. Most of the tracks are really good - I didn't like only 4 tracks out of 13, so it's a quite nice ratio. Be sure to check it out!

The fact that some famous artists support the CC licensing mode deserves the highest praise on its own, of course, and makes it a very important work just because of that.

By the way, visit the official website for three more tracks not included on the Jamendo edition.
