Yeah, I'm enjoying these. I'm excited. I played Heartland to death.

'on a path' also very very good but...my word

I actually like "On a Path" a little more so far.

continually topping himself, tbh. didn't think i could be hit in the feelings more than I was by Heartland and...well, yeah.

^^this. I still play Heartland regularly, cannot wait to play In Conflict to death over the next decade or so.

I gave these links a listen on my phone this morning which was a terrible injustice. Just now I've played both on cans without the clips and yes, this is brilliant. I fear YT is squashing the sonic quality, but yeah I love both of these and I love the clips too.

It's very nice of Owen to release this just before my birthday when I have the week off to decorate and bike ride.

thanks for the new display name, Alex!

Holy shit @ "The Riverbed!"

I think the thing I love most about all your work Owen is how *immediate* the beautiful melodic lines are, they stick in my head right away and stay there happily. It is making me more enthusiastic than ever to keep firing up my own kboards/gear and keep writing music.

This album is sounding so good. Looks like it might have been pushed back to May 26th now.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 15:44 (twelve years ago)
Def my favourite of the new songs.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 18:14 (twelve years ago)
Yeah I love this one.
― the Bronski Review (Trayce), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:23 (twelve years ago)
This just came up on Facebook.
The album release date for "In Conflict" has been pushed back to May 27th. This is due to a backup at the pressing plant; Record Store Day was a tall order this year. We will be selling CD and vinyl copies of the album at all May tour dates, prior to the "street date".
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:32 (twelve years ago)
Agree that this is the best song of the three. Just another month to go.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:33 (twelve years ago)
all of these songs are great. i think the riverbed is my favorite although i am still a bit irritated that we never learn what happens between uncle jim and the young toughs
― très hip (Treeship), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 04:23 (twelve years ago)
I am just kind of in awe of the arpeggios. It's that kind of True Faith era New Order trick, of having this gorgeous, bubbling arpeggio, but then at the top of the filter sweep, it bursts into this flourish of violins. It's like the aural equivalent of a fountain. Very lovely, I fall for it every time.
― Branwell Bell, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 08:16 (twelve years ago)
whole album is good btw lads
― online hardman, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 08:23 (twelve years ago)

Just looking into pre-ordering this. Apparently there will be a double vinyl version with three extra songs that don't appear on the regular vinyl or the CD. Think I'm going to have to go with that.

it only includes 1 more song than the CD

I want to listen to this SOOOO BAD but my internet is so not going to handle streaming at the moment. :(
― Branwell with an N, Monday, 19 May 2014 13:40 (twelve years ago)
i've had this on promo for a couple of weeks and i reckon it's going to take several more weeks at least to fully figure out. it's a great listen though!

such amazing arrangements, what a pretty album
― dollar rave club (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 19 May 2014 15:04 (twelve years ago)
I'm holding off on listening to this until I can run a CD through big speakers. But so tempted.
― i reject your shiny expensive consumerist stereo system (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 19 May 2014 15:48 (twelve years ago)
yeah this was superb, would probably put it on a par with Heartland but this one was subtler, may transpire to be even more rewarding
― verhzleyavbtreleambreb (imago), Monday, 19 May 2014 15:50 (twelve years ago)
I've been absolutely stanning the emerging Westerman this year, so how come this lovely bastard of an album slipped through my net four and a half years ago!?
On A Path, oh my days, oh my days. <3

I've just been listening to this again this morning for the first time in ages and it's hit me like a ton of bricks. My god, The Riverbed :(((((
Also everything i've heard of Westerman so far I've loved, especially Confirmation.

like it's not square enough to get there but it should totally be one of those records that audiophiles use to test systems
When I taught recording and engineering, I used "The Riverbed" for frequency-recognition ear training practice and tests.
