Toronto’s Metric are releasing an entirely fan-remixed version of their 2009 album Fantasies for a new album to be released on October 11, 2001. The new album, titled Fantasies Flashback was crowdsourced via Indaba Music. All proceeds will go to the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). A complete listing of the album package’s contents are:
- 10 x 7″ vinyl singles, each containing an original song from Fantasies and the associated winning remix from the Indaba Music contest;
- A PlayButton digital music player pre-loaded with (the same) 10 winning remixes (one of the first new notable commercial releases available on PlayButton);
- A digital download code redeemable for all music from the 7″ singles (20 tracks including the original studio album version of Fantasies), plus an additional 11 of the band’s favorite remixes. In total this is 31 songs or over 80 minutes of music;
- Two 6″ x 6″, two-sided color inserts featuring fan-created artwork/imagery, track listing, credits and information about the genesis of the remix album and the charitable tie-in with CAMH;
- A limited edition 18″ x 24″ glossy METRIC poster
