Pitchfork

So how do you make Pitchfork's number one album of 2006 even better? Start by not messing with it at all, then tack on two more discs packed to the brim with bonus multimedia content.

As previously reported, Mute will unleash a deluxe edition of the Knife's Silent Shout, featuring a live disc and a DVD in addition to the original synth-rattled masterpiece. The whole kit and caboodle lands in record stores at last May 8.

Since the Knife are meant to be seen as much as heard, the DVD includes the Silent Shout: An Audiovisual Experience goodies released last fall overseas, including footage of the Andreas Nilsson-designed live show shot in Gothenburg, Sweden on April 12, 2006, all the Knife music videos to date, and the short film When I Found the Knife.

The cold, sleek triptych is rounded out by a live CD featuring audio versions of the Gothenburg gig set.

Olof and Karin, meanwhile, have kept suspiciously quiet in 2007, which can only mean they're getting primed to take us on another nightmarish escapade into the chilling oblivion of our subconscious!! Or maybe they're playing pinochle and crocheting.
