Neil Young - every song - for free

http://neilyoungarchives.com

Neil recently shared a message on Facebook, “December 1st will be a big day for me. The Visitor will be coming to your town. I will be going to my town. You will be able to hear me and see me. My archive will open on that same day, a place you can visit and experience every song I have ever released in the highest quality your machine will allow. It’s the way it’s supposed to be. In the beginning, everything is free.”

There’s a note on the NeilYoungArchives.com from Young detailing what is available. Neil has finally settled on a format in which he feels comfortable. Xstream Music high resolution streaming by OraStream is said to “allow the listener to hear all of the music available at his or her current listening location” regardless of available bandwidth. “Xstream Music master recordings are always pure uncompressed masters. They are not part of a format that compromises the quality. All compression formats compromise quality,” wrote Neil.

He admits he created the site “for myself as much as for everyone else. I am very interested in collecting and organization, as well as mechanical things and old school record keeping. What we have built here at NYA (Neil Young Archives) is a result of a great effort by many people over a long period of time. A timeline is now live in which fans can explore Young’s vast catalog. The archives span 1963 through “today’s date.”

I just came to post this.

Bump just in case any other swilster, who was never into his music, but would like to join the thread anyway.

The free run ends June 30 2018

Love his music and I already own 70% of his catalog ok cd or vinyl. Glad he’s fighting to increase the sound quality of digital music.

Uh oh ghost welcome to the club. When he pulls out his collection of gifs that means you are on his list.

Got his recent release ‘Hitchhiker’. It’s all demos but it’s really good. It’s just him stoned and playing acoustic. Originally from the 70s.

He is a socialist that puts his money where his mouth is. Can't really bash him for that. Other than the being a socialist part.
