Iconic producer BRIAN ENO is bidding to revolutionise the music industry by recording and releasing music all in the same day.
The Brit, who has worked with David Bowie and Coldplay in the past, is experimenting with tracks he has recorded with former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne - and he wants to start a trend.
Eno says, "When I finish something I want it out that day. Pop music is like the daily paper. It’s got to be there then, not six months later. So (David and I) decided to release on our websites first, then put it on the commercial websites, then as a CD, then with different packaging. It’s just trying to see what works. The business is an exciting mess at the moment."

ALYSSA MILANO has urged TV executives to focus more shows on women - insisting female-driven programmes enjoy longer success on the small screen.
Milano starred in supernatural drama Charmed, about three sisters with magical powers, for eight years after landing the role in 1998.
And the beauty is convinced that actresses in leading roles are the key to longterm success for TV projects - because female fans are the most loyal viewers.
She says, "I think people connected to the sister relationships and women fans are the most loyal in the business. It’s absolutely true and it’s why most of the female-driven shows do well and last longer." And there are business benefits too - she adds: "The women buy the most stuff so the networks can charge more for advertising."
