Dark Was The Night is a compilation released on February 17th, 2009. Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National produced the album, and John Carlin, the founder of the Red Hot Organization was the executive producer. A total of 31 exclusive tracks have been recorded for the compilation. It will be available as a double cd/triple vinyl/download and will benefit the Red Hot Organization - an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS. Red Hot was founded on the premise that even without a cure, AIDS remains a preventable disease – and music is a great vehicle to raise money and awareness for it. This is the 20th year of Red Hot, and this is the 20th release!

    Hmmm, this is an album, not an artist.... sigh, so much for trying to match my id3 tags to Last.FM! (fantastic ALBUM, however....!)

    at first I didn`t like it but after giving some time to this album I found it brilliant and now I think it`s one of my favourites.

    This compilation feels a bit watered down to me (so many great artists who could have done better if they had just put a little more effort) but still has enough worthwhile songs. As its own name suggest, it's perfect to listen to in the solitude of a dark night. Plus, it's for a good cause. So use a condom, don't follow a self-destructive lifestyle, be understanding with people around you and have common sense.
