But they released Trans Canada Highway after that..

Left Side Drive is fucking brilliant. You know that fugue-like part around 4 minutes in? It's in the same (rainbow) vein as the ending of the Last Walk Around Mirror Lake remix. I love that stuff.

Skyliner does rock.
Re: Left Side Drive - Wait, can someone explain to a dude with virtually no classical musical education what makes the part at 4min fuguey? i would've described it as "those squishy synths that shuffle their feet".

Agreed, Trans Canada Highway is filled with Kickassery. Under the Coke sign is one of my favorite short pieces.

I only just realised that the names of The Campfire Headphase and Trans Canada Highway both have the acronym TCH... perhaps the beginning of a series?

I hadn't realized that either... wonder what the significance is.

On the other hand, I completely agree with this.
The ones on Trans Canada Highway have a completely different feel to me, with the longer ones more percussion based and the short ones very minimalist. It's much colder than Campfire Headphase (which is apt in several ways).

I personally like to think that Trans Canada Highway is some shit they did after the fact while releasing Headphase, 'cause they were still all inspired by the path they had taken musically, and then they went "Oh shit, that would have been so killer, too bad we already released Headphase." So they just put out the rest as another record.
Yeah?

I think its tracks that didn't fit The Campfire Headphase, by no means leftovers as they are as good as music can be!

Wonder how the new records will sound and when it will be released...maybe a december release date and they will announce it next week! :O how about that?
