GET THIS!
Sadly this release won't be getting an official release, so torrenting is the option for most ... record companies are holding back the release.

Legal dispute with EMI
Due to a dispute with the record label EMI, the album may never be released,[1] however the book is available for sale on the official website for Dark Night of the Soul along with a blank recordable CD-R and all copies will be clearly labeled:
"For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will."[5]
Without going into detail EMI has acknowledged the legal dispute and has released the following statement:
"Danger Mouse is a brilliant, talented artist for whom we have enormous respect. We continue to make every effort to resolve this situation and we are talking to Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) directly. Meanwhile, we need to reserve our rights."[6]
