Nah, I'm not signing out. Just sort of ...voicing myself, I guess? Venting? I dunno.

Ah good. Would be a shame if you left. I think your presence has been missed around here lately.

Anyway, I think it's easy to take the themes of this album a little too much at face value really. It's bleak but ...

Are you checking under the Music tab of the dashboard? On the main bit it only showed mp3s for me but under music it gives mp3, WAV and FLAC options.

Eh. Yeah. Not to derail the thread; obviously this thread got started based on some correlations that do exist between the whole idea of the Dark Mountain thingy and BoC's apparent future outlook.

I guess I just wanted to voice that a number of slow changes in the outlook of the average outspoken ...

Rife with mistakes, as is becoming the norm for Guardian's mediocre journalism as of late...

It's "Tomorrow's Harvest", not "Tomorrow's World" for chrissakes, how could you miss that one? And the guy in Telepath is ...

I'm listening to New Seeds now and I think you should ply it on repeat while you assemble your furniture. I swear you'll get it done twice as fast!

Hey Saturday Sun for me. I have no idea why but the chord progression seems so lazy and predictable to my ears. I've never gotten on with Zoetrope either really which is a shame as the rest of that EP is breathtaking.

Yeah, can't complain, "New Seeds" is a great choice anyway. In fact I don't think there could have been a disappointing choice.

I wonder if the choice has something to do with the cosecha transmisiones intro at the end of the track? Goes back to the start of the whole album promotion, might ring ...

This is probably my favourite of the beatless/ambient tracks on the album. That synth makes me melt. Its got that untouchable quality to it, so unmistakably BOC. It's just one of those tracks that I think nobody else could get close to sounding like.

If you skip back to before the first track starts you can hide a track there but I'm pretty sure a few people have checked this already.

Nothing in Belgium either. Heh.
Update: I just visited an indie store here in my neighbourhoud and they are already selling the CD and vinyl.

And if I compare what I've paid Bleep to what I would pay in this shop:

bleep: 18,99 + 9,99 + 6,95 postage = EUR 35,93
the indie store: 21,00 + 15,50 ...

I can hear it in the chord progression. Not completely obvious but I understand where they're coming from.
