Lamb of god release studio files for fans to re-mix

[Hope Leaves]

Just seen this on the Lamb of God website and thought it looked interesting so thought i'd post it here see what anyone else thinks:

U.S. Release date: 12/4/07

Industry pioneers LAMB OF GOD have crossed the line. Literally. Breaking down the smoke and mirrors and allowing fans and professionals alike the revolutionary opportunity to produce and/or remix the entire Sacrament audio CD. All of the studio audio tracks (guitar, vocals, drums & bass) from the entire Sacrament album have been isolated, separated and prepared for use in any Mac or PC multi-track recording program.

Remix the album any way you want to hear it. More bass? Your call. Less drums? Your call. Dub remix? Your call. New vocals? Good luck! Track and add your own effects, vocals, guitar, bass, drums and anything else you can imagine! Isolate tracks to help learn or to play/sing along. Create your own new unique songs or loops by cutting apart, rearranging or mixing up tracks or even entire songs. The possibilities are endless and the tools are now in your hands.

Let your inner-producer shine! We dare you! Share your LAMB OF GOD creations online and check out the creative adventures of other new producers. You are the beginning of a revolution in music as we know it.

Check http://www.Lamb-of-God.tv for updates, uploads and examples from the new release!

Looks pretty interesting, seems like this could be a new trend, a friend tells me Nine Inch Nails are doing a similar thing with a 'Deluxe' edition of their newest album. I guess it's all just a cynical marketing ploy and all, but it'd be cool for me to practice mixing with some tracks that I didn't already screw up on the way in, so I guess I'll check it out when it's released.

Nice. I've bookmarked it for sound reference for my own mixes.

The guitar tracks are really simply mixed on their own, but together and within the mix they rock bigtime. Gives me hope that I'm not too far away from getting a similar sound, perhaps, then I can stop doing acoustic songs and do what I really like to do; ROCK!

Thanks for the link, this is awesome.

AWESOME! I've always wanted to play around with big boy tracks like this. This should be a huge learning experience for everyone! I'm curious to see how well I can do.

.
I know that NIN had done this several years ago as well. I want to say they had some kind of contest.

I got the Year Zero remix album that has this data DVD with the singled tracks. It said it's set up for Ableton and Garageband so Ihaven;t even looked at it yet to see what I can do with cubase.
