''Divided by Night'' is electronic duo The Crystal Method's fourth studio album. The album was released on May 12, 2009. The first single, "Drown in the Now",〔 which features vocals by Matisyahu,〔 was released to the iTunes Store on April 14, 2009, and the second single, "Black Rainbows" was released to the Beatport store on April 28, 2009. On October 5, 2009, they released the third single, "Come Back Clean" also exclusively to Beatport.〔 The album was nominated at the 52nd Grammy Awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album. ==Background information== After their album ''Legion of Boom'' was released, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland decided to move into their new, state-of-the-art recording studio, called Crystalwerks. The time taken to prepare the new studio resulted in the loss of production time on the album, which is why it has taken so long to come out. They have also taken the time to bring in many guest artists to be featured on the album. In early August 2008, The Crystal Method revealed their plans for the album. Though the album was planned to release by the end of summer, the release date was pushed back to early 2009. They then released a free song on their website, which was a remix of their first single, "Now is the Time". The remix features samples of a Barack Obama speech, and is called "Now is the Time (Vote '08 Remix)". The Crystal Method was asked if "Now Is the Time (Vote '08 Remix)" would be on Divided by Night. They replied "maybe, just as a bonus track", though it has been confirmed that the song will not be on the new album according to the track listing, which was released in mid February 2009. In October 2008, they released a series of tour dates for a DJ set tour across North America, which went further into the year, finishing on New Year's Eve, 2008.〔 They would play some of the music off of their new album to support the tour. In December 2008, they set up a remix contest for the song "Double Down Under" on the new album, and released the name of the lead single, "Drown in the Now", which features vocals by Matisyahu. During an interview in early 2009, The Crystal Method were asked the release date of the album, and Ken Jordan simply stated: "Spring". The Crystal Method later stated that the album would be due in stores on May 12. In an interview with ''The Boston Herald'', Scott Kirkland said: A recent album preview by Mark Shemel of internedj.com indicated that the album was : In March, 2009, The Crystal Method released the cover of the album, tour dates, a new website, and a pre-order sale on their online store. On April 14, the single, "Drown in the Now" was released onto the iTunes store along with a pre-order for ''Divided by Night''. The pre-order on iTunes also comes with a bonus B-side, "Play for Real". This song is only available on the pre-order for iTunes, and (according to The Crystal Method's Myspace blog) will not be released anywhere else. In late April, 2009, The Crystal Method put one song from ''Divided by Night'' onto their Myspace page, "Sine language", which features the upcoming hip hop duo, LMFAO. On the very same day that "Sine Language" was put on their Myspace page, The Crystal Method released the second single from ''Divided by Night'', the song, "Black Rainbows" (exclusively to Beatport) which features vocals from Stefanie King Warfield, wife of Justin Warfield, who also contributes to ''Divided by Night'' himself on the track "Kling to the Wreckage". On May 5, 2009, while flying to their first show in Boston, Massachusetts via Virgin Airlines, The Crystal Method set up a one-hour online chat room that anyone could join for free. They answered various questions from fans and talked about ''Divided by Night''. The Crystal Method said that it is probable that they will do something like this again. On May 7, the entire album ''Divided by Night'' was put onto iLike for anyone to listen to. This includes the full versions of every song on ''Divided by Night'' (except for "Play for Real", released on iTunes only). ''Divided by Night'' was finally officially released on May 12. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Divided by Night」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
