Can't decide between that or Cold Earth.

Dopest beat yet?

I swear, sometimes I question whether or not I'm hearing things correctly.

Subjective portion of the review which I placed little weight on... It does strike me, however, as a seriously funky chopped up hip hop beat.

Oh...yeah, I haven't read that. It would drive me insane.

It sounds like shit as far as I can tell.

I mean not just the sound quality, if there are redeeming factors to this track they are inaudible in this recording because the melody certainly isn't going anywhere and that likely means it's a track driven by intricate percussion/atmosphere details. It doesn't sound like BoC at all to me, it sounds generic.

But again, 90% of that I'm sure is simply because the recording is awful.
You can hardly make out any details at all...forming an opinion of the track based on this recording is probably a mistake.

Thanks for the heads-up on the quality - I'll avoid the poor recording and wait for something a bit better.

I know, that's why I said "as far as I can tell" and "90% of that I'm sure is simply because the recording is awful". I haven't formed an opinion the song yet, but I just don't get everyone creaming themselves over what it is we can hear in this recording.

Sounds good.

It's like the ATP recordings, happening, in real time for something that hasn't been released yet.

If anything happens tomorrow @ 5:00 PDT, then it's going to have to do with this track (if this is BoC and it sure sounds like it). Why play a new different track at a music festival and let it sit out there on the net in such poor sound quality?

Then again I'd wonder why they'd release two tracks so close together.. ugh. Speculation is driving me insane.

I don't even understand why they'd release two tracks early, possibly three if the teaser track is on the album. It's too much man, it just is going to make hearing the album for the first time less special. Like, I already know Reach For the Dead isn't going to be anywhere near as interesting on the album now.

I'm betting it'll be a listening party tomorrow.

It does lessen the whole album experience a bit, at least initially. After awhile though it should blend back to together I listened to Alpha and Omega and Oscar See Throug Red Eye ad nauseum before their respective albums were released in full. The fact that they were preview/singles/teasers had escaped my memory until it came up in context with Reach for the Dead.

I dunno what to make of that. It sounded like it had an eastern influence which sounds familiar from having read the track by track review. Definitely not worth listening to but also not much of a spoiler or anything either... Nothing is going to compare to getting a hold of that record and blaring it in your favorite setting anyway.

Gonna listen to it once, at really low volume... I'm such a glutton for punishment.

Made it 5 seconds, that's plenty.

i guess after the hiatus they've stored up a lot in their collective ball sacks

Nice to see that crowd there with the huge hexagons. Warp has gone all out on this one, and that's a good thing!
