There it is!

Damn that's a long album.
vocals on "Kill for Love' have been...processed (don't know the technical term) versus the single version. I prefer it!

"Lady," holy crap. And yeah, how many of these count as "bonus tracks"? 93 mins is a bit much.

listening to it now. Up to track 10 and so far I'm iffy on the longer tracks but the shorter ones have been pretty bloody great. Don't know why they felt the need for the excessive double-album thing.

Yeah, Johnny Jewel has now released three and a half hours of music this year. An hour of which would be a shoe in for end of year lists.
I'm loving the new Chromatics but I hope the physical release is a little more judiciously edited and broadly appealing. They might get away with it though, as the first six tracks are all killer.

i love the tunes where it just fades off into oblivion (tick of the clock, broken mirrors, no escape)

I listened to this last night while I was going to sleep and thought it was really clumsily sequenced. Just now realized I had my Winamp on shuffle. Listening to it in the intended order now, it makes a lot more sense.

hmmm, $12 postpaid for the 16-track cd or nearly $17 for the 17 track itunes version.. probably neither for this sort of bullshit
― dieter bummer (electricsound), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 02:50 (twelve years ago) link
$12 pp is a pretty good deal for a cd, no?
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 02:51 (twelve years ago) link
it's not bad, but it seems like a stooge to be missing out on the bonus track, but a bigger stooge to pay $5 more for a download just to get it.
is it worthwhile getting the bonus track?
― dieter bummer (electricsound), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 02:56 (twelve years ago) link
i;m seeing $9.99 on itunes for the 17 track version..
― diamonddave85, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 03:10 (twelve years ago) link
Yah, I paid 9.99 last night.

I'm excited to hear this, will there be a vinyl release?
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 04:03 (twelve years ago) link
According to their fb-page, yes, there will be a vinyl release soon. Just hope shipping overseas won't be too much...
― willem, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 08:28 (twelve years ago) link

I know its lame but I really want some IDIB t-shirts
― dayo, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
i have two, so i am double lame

I'm kind of blown away by this... what are others' thoughts?

I think on first listen it was tough to get past how good the first 5/6 tracks are. I listened to it again all the way through, and while I still think it's long I'm loving it.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:05 (twelve years ago) link
so how do i get the double t-shirt

Full album stream fyi

This is great so far. Up to Candy, could be the best thing I've heard on IDIB besides After Dark.
― MikoMcha, Thursday, 29 March 2012 08:15 (twelve years ago) link
This record is my favorite thing right now.
― MikoMcha, Friday, 30 March 2012 08:12 (twelve years ago) link
this could blow up pretty big if everyone who swooned over that kavinksy track gets into it
― pagan diskow (Crackle Box), Friday, 30 March 2012 12:09 (twelve years ago) link
whole shebangs available to stream
― straightola, Friday, 30 March 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
just finished this, definitely too much to take in on one listen but its phenomenal. The last track is surprisingly like tim hecker/fennesz find of ambient thing
― straightola, Friday, 30 March 2012 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
really feelin this tbh fyi
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 1 April 2012 01:13 (twelve years ago) link
This is the best thing I've heard all year.

considering they loved the overblown, often tedious M83 double album, they're gonna hate this for being too long and unfocussed.

mad love for the autotuned trax on this one
― diamonddave85, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 00:37 (twelve years ago) link
title track on this is pretty awesome
not use how far into it I will get before I lose focus though

Really like "kill for love" although, somehow, I feel like it's not as good as I'd like it to be after the intro.I'm quite excited by this album, going to order it now !
― AlXTC from Paris, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 10:17 (twelve years ago) link
it's a really icy, arms-length sort of album. full of repetitive, spacey probable-creepers. good on first listen, but looking forward to relating to this more when i'm feeling, i dunno, a bit more patient and/or nostalgic.
― charlie h, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 11:19 (twelve years ago) link
just ordered it on their blog. it's pretty cheap !
