EMI, Danger Mouse dispute continues

EMI has reportedly insisted that a trailer for the controversial Dark Night of the Soul project from Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse be removed from YouTube.

It had previously emerged that the 13-track album due to be packaged with a book of photographs from David Lynch had been withdrawn and replaced with a blank CD-R as a result of a dispute with EMI.

According to Pitchfork, the record label has now ordered YouTube to remove a 15-second trailer for the project, even though it did not contain any music.

A spokesperson for Danger Mouse said: "What EMI pulled from YouTube is a 15 second clip of David Lynch's photographic images from Dark Night Of The Soul.

"It's perplexing why they had it removed and questionable that they even had the right to censor it."

The Dark Night Of The Soul album is being streamed on the National Public Radio website and includes performances from The Flaming Lips, Iggy Pop, Frank Black and others.
