Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

Seeing as how I’m ambivalent about soniamode and not a fan of Molehill, ATOM is a pretty subdued listen but I think it’s an overall success and I’m real excited for what’s next. Threat of Rain is just fantastic.

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

I enjoy a number of them but personally I'm not sure any of the Drift tracks rate next to stuff from the proper albums. They all seem like jams to me. But I think that's fine? The stated purpose of Drift seems to be about process more than results.

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

all this.

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

Not sure but would all of Drift 2 fit on to an 80 minute CDR? Thanks

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

No, it's about 86 minutes. Maybe you could trim off some of Appleshine Continuum.

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

They should release a double disc set with Ep 1 and Ep 2!

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

if you overburn it I think you could


otherwise you can just consider this a double LP.


personally, I think it's incredible. I liked Ep 1 a lot but this one's a lot meatier.

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

For what it's worth, Soniamode streaming on Napster is still an overloaded mess (yeah, who uses Napster anymore? Well, they bought and rebranded Rhapsody, of which I was a fan, good selection and always has new releases).

Listening through the EP, i keep catching little blips and elements I hadn't picked up on before. This one is really quite immersive, if that's the right word...just great headphone music!

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

Sounds like it's fixed on 7Digital (and Amazon and Spotify) now. Try downloading again?

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

Thanks! Will try redownloading

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

You could whack Appleshine Continuum on a second disc. Personally I find it too long, but I might consider making a 25 minute edit that I'd really enjoy and then burn that to disc.

I'll probably just wait until they conclude the series and see if they do put out a compilation of bits from the EPs like has been hinted.

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

i can't wait for the absolute mess of "albums" we're gonna try to assemble out of this

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

It's a fascinating time to be a music fan, as we're still in this very bizarre mid-ground between quick-turnaround digital-only releases and a lingering desire to release traditional albums, and different artists are experimenting with the form in different ways. I don't see myself abandoning the Album, but I love the fact that people are playing around with these things.

Re: Drift Episode 2 "ATOM"
 

Totally agree with you! It's a fine time to be a fan, gifted by new tunes and unreleased gems each week. Not since 2005-06 with The RiverRun and fresh live cuts have we heard so much new material. I really appreciate Rick and Karl's commitment to the process, especially after reading the Atom EP 2 liner notes. It's not easy to keep this pace, but I'm thrilled about everything they've shared.

I burned the Ep2 tracks to disc (ok, Appleshine Continuum is on a second CD) and am really enjoying the immersion. Do you think they have a theme in mind for each EP? Or do the tracks just FIT together? Contextualization from the listener? In any case, both Drift EPs have gone down cohesively for me.
