jealous

did Elvis make it?

Yes I did!

Do you feel like One Of Those Idiots Who Fall for this sort of marketing or was it worth it?

To some degree, but it's not like I had anything else going on today... In total there were just under 100 people there. The new album was played (great dramatic weather and wind for it), people listened and then left.

New album sounds good. Heavy. There's never a point where it *doesn't* sound like them, but the comparisons to Alan Howarth's soundtrack work is OTM. It's long, occasionally meandering in the middle, but the slow burn droning at the end is tremendous. At one point I thought to myself, "this sounds like Bruford drumming along to Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to THIEF"

bruford from when

Speaking of cool roygbiv covers:

So this actually happened?

Warp guy, "I just got a text from the band and they wanted me to tell you guys that they love you."

yeah, that was the last message read out before everyone went home.

Awesome that you made it Chris!

Wouldn't it have been great if the speakers had looked like:

New Wave Prog Bruford from the first U.K. album.

I wish I paid more attention to the song breaks (I was just letting it, and the desert all just wash all over me), but about 45 min in there's a fantastic bit with sounds like an idling helicopter and drones of urban dread. I kept thinking about it would be the perfect soundtrack for a Michael Mann movie.

It's so incredibly cool that ILX was there! Thank you, Mr. Telecom!

gemini sounds amazing

*preorders album*

seriously, count me in

sure it's a stunt but, you know, wow

mind you, the samples i heard of their last album left me cold and i never bothered to fuck with it

I love The Campfire Headphase a lot but it's also the first of any of their albums I heard.

Youtube user mmancha has uploaded the first 50 minutes of the album, recorded at that listening party, despite the request only to share the first three tracks. :-/

... not ... listening ... but ... it ... hurts ... the ... pain ...

:-)

It was taken down on copyright grounds, btw.

not listening - anyway shitty youtube clip is not how I wanna engage with these guys.
So this thing is gonna pretty dark and heavy, huh? not sure where I'll find time for it during the summer but if the weather stays like this who knows

don't understand people who let the rotation of the earth dictate what music they can listen to

some people let all powerful gods in the sky dictate what kinds of foods they eat on certain days, so makes sense to me!

All we need is a global nuclear disaster and then it'll be the perfect soundtrack for a Summer dusk listening session.

fuck them

for the dishonesty & for thinking an iphone recording in open air is worth listening to

Apparently the album cover font is Quicksans Accurate Fill - http://www.fonts.com/font/image-club/quicksans/accurate-fill

Enjoying - no, that's not the right word - Reach for the Dead. Has grown on me.

Meanwhile, I'm still pretty impressed with the video for Reach for the Dead too - the cloudy second part and the not-very-hexagonal three Suns at the end. Are they suddenly changing their symbolism?

All I can think of (maybe because I'm a Coil fan too) is that it may be a reference to this:

Haha, on that fonts.com site: "find your type"

I've just been given a stream of the album and I would have loved the chance to experience it as Elvis did... seems almost like the ideal way to hear it. (Maybe with some giant sonic iron pyrites cubes glinting in the sunlight as well.)

This is streaming on the official website today at 10.00pm CET.

whoops sorry, this was already mentioned upthread

Had one listen to this...made zero impression

they really freaked themselves out with geogaddi didn't they? not a single sampled or backmasked vocal since, i don't think :(

2 hours to go to the stream unless they've cancelled it since they made zero impression on Mr. Yorke

What do you mean about Thom Yorke?

No, Dwight, two posts up from mine :-)
