Peter Gabriel: shock the monkey again

http://slashdot.org/articles/06/10/19/0153200.shtml

he is actually encouraging people to not only download his music, but also adapt it into something more modern. In doing so, he actually posted a sample pack of Shock the Monkey consisting of vocals and other pieces of the original multitrack recording.

You can find the competition website itself at http://www.realworldremixed.com/competition.php . I look forward to checking some of these out. (The version involving a violin and music from "Carmen" is particularly intriguing: http://www.realworldremixed.com/remix.php?remix_id=ylLHEGG4nSER6DTD)

Releasing a track for remixing is not a new idea, but it's still kind of cool.
