Yeah, I feel yah on that one..
An obscure, autumny nature cover would be more in place I guess.
I can't wait for my CD to arrive.

I think it's one of the better album covers and fits the music perfectly.

I can't wait for my CD to arrive, either. Loved the samples.

The cover... I don't like it. Like someone said before, the 70s/80s stylings on the MySpace are more fitting.

I am eating this album RIGHT NOW.

OM NOM NOM

Oh I also reviewed it on Amazon.

Does anyone know where I can download the mp3 album with the option of paying by PayPal? Tried Amazon and Boomkat but they only accept card.

Try CD Universe, it's where I ordered the physical cd from, I'm not sure if they have just downloads though.

Just downloaded from Amazon, digging it. The artwork fits perfectly in my opinion.

I still want to know what happened to the 14th song though, it was my favorite sample of the bunch.

I'm excited about this.. Been waiting a hot minute.. Now that i have it though, i'm going to wait for the perfect time to throw it on. Gotta be buzzed on something, or at least high on life (feeling really good).

My mood definitely affects how music sounds to me.

Same with me, I waited until I started crossbuzzing to listen to it, this album is sick.

well i just scooped this up a couple of hours ago. aside from all the tracks i'm familiar with there's some amazing new ones as well.

part of me really wishes this came out a month ago so it got the full summery effect, but i think it will marinate nicely into the fall. i find keaver has a little bit more contemplative melancholy about his sound, which has definitely seeped into this release and will go nice with the indian summer.

I got this in the mail today, and I've been listening to it all day
Amazing release once again by Lone and Keaver and Brause!
Great time for the release too, sort of that post-summer haze mixed with a bit of Autumn.
Only complaint is the length, only a bit over half an hour
But it's a damn good half an hour!

Just got this and listened to it. Great stuff. This is one talented producer! Better than Lemurian in my opinion. Favourites include Airlock, Shine A Light and the last minute of Fresh Flowers Ahead. Highly recommended and I will surely promote this to my friends.

I'm ignorant, can anyone tell me whether Lone, Kona Triangle and the rest of the bunch invented this genre or that it is a direct descendant of modern hiphop?

This is AMAZING. It's so very amazing.

Toybox (Kona Remix) sounds like a level from Donkey Kong Country with a fat beat and amazing percussion.

Oh yeah: Air Lock! God. It sounds like an airlock. I fucking love the synths. The pads all sound so powerful.

Brilliant album, great collab guys!

This album is good from start to finish , not a skip-moment anywhere.
My favorite so far would be 'Shine Alight' , when that warbly synth with the ascending melody kicks in is so blissfully good. This is also really great stoner music.

My only complaint would be that it took too long to get released and that it's length is too short. It's only half an hour long. It should have been twice as long.

And the remix is from a Loaf&Merge song ? But not by Bibio ? I thought it was from a track they made together.

I made a mix CD, and supplemented with Lone tracks to crank up the length.

finally got around to ordering the LP from cd universe. it was on backorder though, which scares me. was this a limited pressing?

All true!
Splendid from start to finish! One of the best albums of this year in my book!
My favorites are Long Mountain, fresh flowers ahead (last minute in particular), and Sings and Wonders!

Indeed a shame the album is only half an our. I'm missing Kona 14 (from their space). I love that sample!

This will be played a bunch the next months / years to come!!
