Dark Was The Night will be released on February 17th, 2009. Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National produced the album, and John Carlin, the founder of the Red Hot Organization was the executive producer. A total of 32 exclusive tracks have been recorded for the compilation. It will be available as a double cd/triple vinyl/download and will benefit the Red Hot Organization - an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS. Red Hot was founded on the premise that even without a cure, AIDS remains a preventable disease – and music is a great vehicle to raise money and awareness for it.

i just came.

Arcade Fire I haven't heard yet!? Ben Gibbard and Feist!? Produced by members of The National!? Sufjan Stevens!? OMG...

I suppose they could've reunited the Stone Roses or something, but this looks absurdly promising. I'll probably buy it, considering both the tunes (or at least the artists making the tunes) and the good cause and all. Nothing like when great music and great causes get together.

This leaked, so if anyone wants a link, PM me. However, you should still buy it because it's for a good cause.

Yes please, PM me the link? I will buy it, but I want this now..

We are not hip enough to know such well guarded music.

For the record, I have never heard of any of them either, but I probably have lots of music none of you ever heard of, not that anyone cares.....

i've heard of The Decemberists and there pretty good.

I've heard of some of the bands... I wouldn't buy it under normal circumstances but if it helps people I'll prolly pick it up.

How old are you zodiac, like 15? How the hell do you have such a good taste in music at that age. I was listening to complete shit when I was that old.
