We should stick this post somewhere. I'm all in on this.2020k wrote:In regards to the flexidisc bonus track, so this is logged in a place where most people tend to go:
The "To your brother" loop, from a nostalgic McDonalds training video in conjunction with this being a Music70 release only kind of leads me to believe a couple of things:
1. The notion that they were under a 5 LP contract from Warp and that they fulfilled it for this one is true.
2. It is possible too that they were waiting to do the BOCSet until they got out of their contract. If the flexidisc confirms they've been released, they KNOW the BOCset will make them bank, so they'll do it now under Music70 and will barely have to do a thing to promote it. Money for them, their kids are nearing college age so money for them too. Win, win, win, sorry Warp, go do your weird marketing things with somebody else.
3. They hate each other. It just sounds spiteful to me. Okay, okay, I'm being glib here but all of this and no interviews? Something IS NOT RIGHT between them rn for Godtheultimateresonance knows why.
Obviously it would affect the music if there was something going on but it's beyond anything we could do about so I agree. People are way too obsessed with this band and I'm sure it makes them uncomfortable. They'd prefer if we just looked at the music whenever it dropped and left it at thatTaoTapeTao wrote:I'm not sure why we're postulating on the brothers' relationships, I saw this in another recent post from another poster in the Inferno thread too, specifically disputing the implications of the writing credits. Why do we care or have to assume something is going on? It's very uninteresting, and has nothing to do with the music, which is the point of all of it imo.
A musical act we have to be a duo for their whole careers (well other than one or two songs with Christ. IIRC), likely being not much of a duo for this album is just interesting to me, sorry! for what it might mean for any possible future releases, and the recording process for this one. Doesn't mean I want there to be any lurid/outlandish speculation as to the reasons why, or obviously any intrusion in their private lives.TaoTapeTao wrote:I'm not sure why we're postulating on the brothers' relationships, I saw this in another recent post from another poster in the Inferno thread too, specifically disputing the implications of the writing credits.

Kindly agree with all this: not our business, and I think folks are getting a bit carried away with interpreting what the credits would/could/should meanTaoTapeTao wrote:Amen.Altruizine wrote:Obviously it would affect the music if there was something going on but it's beyond anything we could do about so I agree.

Also to shinealight - Nothing about the credits seems to suggest or confirm it wasn't a work between the duo. IIRC they have mentioned that they delegate mixing and writing between each other often. I guess this is a speculation thread tho

They do have one more album left on their contract with Warp though, something to consider.Wildfire wrote:I really don't want it to be, but I just can't help feel that the ending of Inferno is an end credits goodbye, topped off with a heartbeat stopping at the last moment.

I thought the contract was for 5 LPs. Is it 6?Gazebo4 wrote:They do have one more album left on their contract with Warp though, something to consider.Wildfire wrote:I really don't want it to be, but I just can't help feel that the ending of Inferno is an end credits goodbye, topped off with a heartbeat stopping at the last moment.

All I've seen around is that they have fullfilled their contractual obligations to Warp now.ryetronics wrote:I thought the contract was for 5 LPs.
