We were already happy not to have to wait too long, the successor of "Accelerate", I heard that REM were at work on the new album. But by now we fans of Michael Stipe and his companions will be even more delighted by the news that are coming in a very short digital EP and a full Live Album! The U.S. group announced on the official site that July 7 on iTunes and other major online shops will have a digital EP, entitled "Songs From The Reckoning Olympia" and contains 4 live tracks. E 'already on the same pages can pre-order it (at a cost of $ 4) and listen to one of the songs on "Harborcoat". Does not end here: the EP

is only the prelude to an entire Live Album to be released by Warner in October, will contain 30 tracks and more and will be titled "Live at The Olympia." Suggests that all the material was recorded in 5 evening in which Stipe & Co. have played in the prestigious facility in Dublin in 2007.
