Personally speaking I'm gonna wait till it pops through my letterbox too.

I have a shitload of work on at uni till the 1st of June when I break up. I need something to look forward to in the meantime. If I hear it now it'll spoil everything. I can't wait to savour opening the package, smelling the contents, gently handling and examining the CD and free DVD and then cranking it nice and loud.

It had better be good!

(By the way, in case I change my mind :D , where did you guys download your copy? Can't see anything on Soulseek).

Bye, kozmikoid. :lol:

Thanks prizmodo,

I've tried seaching for 'Trans Canada Highway' and still get nothing at the moment. Tried 'Left Side Drive' and see nothing either. The search is working for other BOC stuff.

I'll keep trying. :lol:

Mmmmm,

Just tried searching for 'Trans Canada Highway' on eMule. Managed to find a track by that name courtesy of one Mr Gene Pitney (God bless his soul). Do you think that will keep me going in the meantime?

I've noticed that in fact Skyliner and Dayvan Cowboy come up too but I have those already.

Pitney it is then. :lol: Now let's kick some ASS!

The musicians here can correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Underneath the Coke Sign" a shorter, slower melodic reprise of Skyliner?

now that I've listened 4 or 5 times, I'm starting to skip both Dayvan and its remix. I've heard Dayvan 100 times already, and at the moment to my brain it feels out of place not following Peacock Tail.

the remix, well it could have used 4-5 minutes cut out from it. its almost too ambient for its own good.

but the new Boards material is excellent!

I totally agree, I've been listening to the 4 new tracks more or less all day now.

Edit: I tried to copy my itunes but it looks like crap, so here's the number of plays I've given this. (just today)

Dayvan- 1
Left Side Drive- 19
Heard From The Telegraph Lines- 18
Skyliner- 13
Under The Coke Sign- 17
Dayvan Remix- 3

For those of you who haven't heard it yet, this should give some indication how good it is.

Mee too. With vinyl and CD both on the way, I still prefer to wait. Its one of the few things I can look forward to with the excited anticipation I once had when I was a child... hate to spoil that.

During a weak moment, I caved and downloaded Campfire before it was released, but never gave it a listen... same with the new PJ album... (golly, I'm like, soo rightous...). After reading this thread, tho, I am still rather up for the release!

No! No! La la la la la la!

I too am going to wait, not to be snob, but because at this point in my life, I need things to look forward to. :(

ive got mine on pre-order (obviously) but couldnt stop myself from downloading the new tunes.. i was a bit worried having read a few twoism-ers views on the new tracks that it was going to be a let down but, 'left side drive' is fucking AMAZING! almost had me in tears... beautiful, beautiful stuff.

What's this 8 minute version of 'Heard from the telegraph lines'? It sounds like a Christ track, but it also could be BoC...or a decent fake perhaps. Cool track either way...
