Listening to unheard Wu-Tang Clan

Inside a delicately hand-carved silver box on display in an Australian museum lies the most exclusive, most valuable, and perhaps most infamous album in the world.

And this weekend, I became one of the lucky few on the planet to have heard it.

Recorded in secret over six years by trailblazing hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin was designed to be a piece of fine art.

Only a single CD copy exists – and with it comes a legal stipulation that the owner cannot publicly release the 31 tracks until 2103.

The record, which features the nine surviving members of the group, is currently on loan to Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) – a gallery so well known for its headline-catching art some dub it Australia’s “Temple of Weird”.

First conceived during the pandemic, the museum’s new Namedropping exhibition explores why humans chase things that signal status and notoriety.......

Wasn’t it just RZA that wanted to do this?

RZA and Cilvaringz apparently. The 88-year commercial ban might've been just RZA, though.

Did they factor into their genius plan that CDs are now almost obsolete and digital media is picking up so some poor bastard tech will have to rework this when the date reaches? Such a weird thing to want to do with your music. Who knows what tech will come in that era too so they may have to recolor the music to get the best out of it then.
