But the destruction of the master tapes for the Foo Fighters album Wasting Light was on purpose. Frontman Dave Grohl, along with the rest of the band, intentionally cut the master tapes into hundreds of pieces.
It was all done in protest against the typical frenzy that surrounds the ownership of master recordings. The recordings were of course preserved digitally. But the original tapes will never be heard again.
Just ask Calvin Harris. He lost his laptop in Heathrow airport—the laptop that contained an entire new albums worth of material. And guess what?
But wait. Harris eventually admitted that he had fabricated the entire incident! His laptop was never stolen. He just wanted some extra time to work on his album before the release deadline. Pretty cheeky if you ask me. The only thing worse than losing all your masters is losing all your magic hats. Or at least it is for Lee Scratch Perry. Oddly enough, Perry also lost a studio in the 70s to a fire as well.
Although the first time around Perry allegedly burned the studio down on purpose in a fit of rage. Take Kanye West for example: The lyrics to his latest album The Life of Pablo were all written in his phone and definitely not backed up. He had to go back to bar one and re-write the whole thing. The moral of the story? Everything can go south real quick.
Think of it like this: If you have 3 copies of your music, you actually only have 2. If you have 2 copies, you actually only have 1. So print your tracks, master music smart, and back it up. Skip to primary navigation Skip to main content. All gone now. Also I had a new album that is now gone too. I spent a week pulling my hair out but now im just focusing on the future and re making my album. This is from his facebook page. Let me just preface this by saying most of this post is pure speculation.
Let me try to rationalize the situation. And yes he uses a mac. Alright here we go. Or make sure his shit gets backed up? I can really see how something like this would tear your soul apart. He was working on his very first full-length album, and his first release for a major label. Another thing are his presets and samples. Cole and Kendrick Lamar have been on a path towards a collab album fans have been waiting for for a very, very long time.
With hints from Kendrick Lamar in claiming he and Cole already had a good amount of music together, a suspected J. With no official studio release of the track made public, this is the only glimpse we have of the track, with many fans hoping to see the day where it gets a release in proper quality. A month after the listening session, Kendrick would tell XXL magazine:.
Cole got like 90 percent of the production so far. Hope for an official release date would become a bit gloomy once June hit in that year as Kendrick would reveal that the album would be on hold so that the rappers could focus on their solo careers respectively. Over the years since the leaks in , the two have worked together pretty frequently, with J. Cole producing numerous tracks for Lamar as well as Lamar hopping on as a feature on J.
Despite their friendship and recognition that the fans want them to drop this dream collaboration, the album still remains unreleased and dormant. Who knows. In early , French composer, producer and performer Jean-Michel Jarre had the task of creating background music for a supermarket-themed art exhibit, and in July of that year, Music for Supermarkets was born.
Only one, single copy of Music for Supermarkets was pressed and made for distribution with its master tapes wiped from existence shortly after the album's creation. The single copy was auctioned off for charity at a Paris hotel, with 11 photos on the inside showing the creation process of the album.
One of these photo slots were left empty so that the final owner of the album could add their own photo, hence truly showcasing the production timeline of this one-of-a-kind album. As of today, multiple bootlegs of the radio broadcast exist as well as a couple of tracks from Music for Supermarkets having been reworked into future Jarre releases. Prince is an artist who is known to have a whole bunch of unreleased music; an interesting example of this is his project with his band The Revolution and a piece that never saw the light of day: Dream Factory.
Along the way, the tracklist grew from an track project to as high as a track double LP by the June version.
