Oh, nevermind. Must've just gone up.
Strange pricing, given they'd done previous full albums at that price (or even "name your own price' I think for some).
― Soundslike, Monday, 10 October 2022 16:15 (one year ago) link
I'm sure "Angel" is the entirety of 'X' too.
Even more on itunes etc.
― stirmonster, Monday, 10 October 2022 16:22 (one year ago) link
£7 for a 10 minute 'album' though.
― stirmonster, Monday, October 10, 2022 11:58 AM (one hour ago)
yeah seriously. I wish they'd at least included the earlier Inflo-produced Chronixx track(+dub) too, esp annoying since his at-one-point forthcoming album seems to have been scrapped
― rob, Monday, 10 October 2022 17:05 (one year ago) link
I will never buy this, that's a ridiculous price
― sleeve, Monday, 10 October 2022 17:14 (one year ago) link
Yeah I’d bet on this being the full release.
Hope this isn’t the m.o. for future releases. If they want to release a bunch of ep’s in this format and a compilation it’d be ideal, the un-spliced tracks drive me crazy on streaming though. Makes these tracks very much useless for playlists. It doesn’t seem they mind too much for streaming either way seeing how they removed 9 apparently permanently.

on bandcamp it's listed as 10 so that's it i guess
some sort of weird issue with the other platforms not letting a release that's a single track be named something else?

Not feeling 'Angel' but only just catching up with 'Air' now hoo boy...wish I'd spoilered myself more on it so I could prepare for 'Solar' better.

Any other Sault fans like the newish Sudan Archives album Natural Brown Prom Queen? The opener, especially, gives me Sault vibes:

My god, this is real. 5 albums, all distinct. 56 tracks, almost four hours...
A praise-themed gospel-inflected album, a Zamrock-inspired album, a sequel orchestral album to 'Air,' and a couple that seem to be "traditional" eclectic Sault records--I've only just played the first few seconds of every track...
I am in awe. Literally something that would only happen in a weird dream, where your favorite band gives you a bunch of unreleased albums...

Listened to Today & Tomorrow (the Zamrock-ish album) first. It's good; somewhere between Afro-psych and the Jazz Is Dead series run by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.

I started working on a Sault tribute mix in 2021, and had 14 hours of tracks as a first pass after having culled through about half of my albums... realized it's basically impossible because they distill so many traditions.
And that was before they revealed the further facets of 'Nine' 'Ten' and especially 'Air'. And now all these!

getting very strong madonna vibes from whoever that is on "god in disguise" and "life we rent but love is rent free" which are both amazing.

just came here to ask that! She's kinda jarring with that theatrical vibrato, but it adds to the Minneapolis shoulderpads feel of the track.

So far I've listened to Today & Tomorrow, Earth and Aiir. Aiir is more of his orchestral work, which is nice enough but I feel like he should be doing movie soundtracks or something. But the other two are great! Love the rock/punk vibe on T&T, and Earth has the kind of range that the 2020 albums did. "Valley of the Ocean" is my top pick so far, but I've liked a bunch of the songs.
