New album out right now on the site. I haven't listened to it yet, but there's a free download of the first 9 tracks, a $5 download of all 36 tracks, and a few other options. It says on the site it's all instrumental too! Hopefully back to The Fragile Era or something new that's not government oriented

Coincidentally, Happy Cycling by Boards Of Canada is in the new Meathead Perspective flash cartoon.

Torrented it.

I have mixed feelings. I'm not impressed with it, per se, but i am heartened in at least as much as it's not Year Zero again. I dunno. Hm.

Never liked NiN's music, probably never will.

For me personally this new album sounds pretty bleak compared to luminaries in the instrumental and electronica genres. The guitar parts are ok-ish. I guess I'm just not that much into him.

I like what Radiohead and Trent are doing, adapting to the internet age and believing that true fans will buy their works anyway. I can't deny I suspect there's a somewhat sneaky business plan behind that strategy, making the consumer believe that they are the saviours of the music industry which effectively will boost the sales anyway. Just like Google's do-no-harm policy. It isn't necessarily a bad thing. In the end I endorse making music free of cost legally with the option to buy a physical medium.

I am still undecided on the release itself. It seems like he should have just chosen 15 of the best songs and elaborated on them. But on the plus side the wallpapers that come with the release are gorgeous.

Bump. Anymore opinions? I'm still undecided, it's great in flashes but there's not enough going on in a lot of these tracks to really justify their release IMO. Maybe it needs a bit more time..

For those of you who are interested:

I've been wanting to try out this kind of thing for a while so might see what I come up with.

just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for music similar to this..

not necessarily the heavy stuff, but lately i've been in love with the slow mellow daydreamy acoustic stuff, slow pianos, ambient pieces, fun xylophones, etc.

anyone know of anything i should check out?

yeah i have before. not really what i'm looking for considering most of it are old songs redone acoustically. though it's still a nice album, especially the new piano tracks

Yeah, other than that, I'd say dig through Ghosts and The Fragile.
