I also missed the stream event. It was on at 1pm my time, I had a meeting from 12-1pm that ran a few minutes late, and then some distractions from other colleagues. I was not going to start listening to this album anywhere but at the beginning. I'm also not going to bother with a stream recording, so I guess I'm waiting. Warp does tend to release digital files a bit ahead of the scheduled release, so really it could be any day. I doubt I'll have to wait till next Monday/Tuesday.

So, I broke down and got a digital copy of soulseek (320kbs) which isn't bad at all, and it sounds pretty great. But seriously, I'm really digging the new album, it feels a lot darker than previous endeavors, a lot punchier. It feels less organic, more in focus, less crackles, more attention to production. The songs are also a lot shorter, only one going a little over 6 minutes, which I don't particularly like. I like how expansive their longer tracks are, and it feels almost like someone pulling away a large slice of cake and leaving you with half with this release. I feel that the "cake" itself is a bit more rich and detailed than previous cakes, so it's more of a quality over quantity thing I guess. As for the songs themselves, I really like "Reach For The Dead", "Cold Earth", "Palace Posy" and "Semena Mertvykh".
Anyone else have the chance to give it a listen yet? |

I haven't listened to the new album yet. I'm waiting for my CD to arrive in the post but I'll probably give it a listen on Spotify before that.

Digital files are available on Bleep now. Just downloaded mine, but probably won't be able to listen till tomorrow.

So, I just listened to the whole album again on my turntable, full blast, headphones, no EQ meddling, and damn, "Semena Mertvykh" is making my head tingle and rattle. Has anyone got their vinyl copy yet besides me?

My CD arrived yesterday. The album sounded really good on first listen and sounds even better the more you listen to it. With all the endless hype and speculation over the past few years this album had a lot to live up to. It doesn't disappoint and was well worth the wait. Definitely an album for the headphones and one to turn up nice and LOUD.
