Got my download in one whole zip file. Despite buying the CD&DVD Deluxe pack, the download is only the basic 9 track album. Looks like I'll have to wait for the postman to hear the bonus tracks.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

I got the same thing - just the 9 tracks in the download. My CD and vinyl arrived this morning though so I'm not too put out.

I ended up with print #47 with the CD/DVD:

And vinyl album art #15.

My 'live receipt' continues to just have a link to download a single mp3, Edgeland, and nothing else.. but they keep on sending me 'order updated' emails regardless. I haven't been bothered to contact their support yet.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Well so far so good. Really like it. Am on my fourth listen and think it's top.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

same thing for me. one mp3 is available to download called "edgeland"

I opened a ticket. let the games begin.

seems like whatever i order thru here takes a lot of effort.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

opened a ticket and got a response back almost immediately with a link to download the album. top shelf customer support.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Totally agree.. They just sorted it out for me in the space of around 30 mins. Good stuff.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Maybe a silly question but how did you get the Japanese bonus tracks?

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

So i'm confused. I ordered the deluxe version of the record and my download only came with 9 tracks. Is this wrong? Should i have had twelve like on itunes?

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

You can buy them individually on Japan's itunes store. The catch is, that means setting up a Japan itunes store account, and if your credit card was not issued in Japan you may have problems actually purchasing anything. There's workarounds for this though, you can buy gift cards from places like JBox to add store credit to your account, which will then let you buy music without needing a credit card to be registered.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Apparently, the preorder download bonus is just the standard edition. You'll just have to wait for your physical product for the deluxe content.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

This works. I've done it before w/the UW material from the RiverRun period that was only available on the iTunes Japan store at the time. :D

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Hurray, got my disc and # 039 print.
Very happy.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

ah ok. so thats how peeps are hearing.

that jbox stuff sucks. I did that and paid an arm-and-a-leg for the riverrun stuff. and now my iTunes won't let me play those songs.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

PB - Check your PM... you should be able to play these tracks as long as you have the iTunes account active (just an e-mail and username). I do know that the era was one of DRM on iTunes purchases before which required a log-in w/the correct iTunes account to play certain tracks... but entering your Japan account info should correct that.

Does anyone know if the Japan store has gone iTunes Plus yet? I refuse to buy 128kbps audio files! :mad:

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

well shit. i didnt get a photo. :(
ordered the minute they went up too.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Yes, iTunes is "Plus" worldwide. There was a period where you could upgrade your DRM tracks to Plus for 30% of the original cost, but that program is now over. You'd have to rebuy it if you wanted the DRM-free 256 Kbps files.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Weren't the first 200 LPs supposed to include something? I can't imagine I didn't get in in the first 200. Can people who did receive the extra with the vinyl post what time their order receipt has listed? I'd love to collect time ordered vs. print received.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

The first 200 vinyls ordered from Universal Records here:

http://store.universal-music.co.uk/r...0602537298327/

contained signed lithos. I believe the lithos shipped separately from the vinyl. If you ordered the vinyl anywhere else, it did not include this limited edition litho.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Didn't get a print- Love the extra track: Final Ray of the Sun- seriously great.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Didn't realize the litho shipped separately. Got my print today as well as the Cd/DVD. Print number 13/200.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Didn't get a photo (just a promo postcard) and I have no way of getting the Jap bonus tracks (which is just total SHIT anyway that a "Deluxe" edition isn't totally comprehensive). I'm never ordering anything from UW store just for an exclusive bonus that for months we all didn't know if we were "in" or missed the boat. Would've cancelled in a heartbeat had I known all of the above. :mad:

The album has its moments but overall it is a mess.

VERY pissed and disappointed about the exclusive stuff that I was left out on. Could use a PM of the Jap tracks if they are worth a listen.... :( :(

:(

Do you like it better?

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

now thats its been a few days and half-a-dozen full listens, i can say with confidence that this is a wonderful album. I have the deluxe and i tracked down the japanese extras. Its a shame that these 4 songs won't be heard by all because they are just fantastic.

This album fills the perfect hole in my listening archive. They all have that 8-ball feel - the mellow yet poppy(?) sound.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

not that i've recieved my order yet, even if i ordered the 24th of january, my hopes of getting a photo are gone... but what the hell, i'm a good loser, specially after listening many times to such a pretty album like edgeland. the first time i enjoyed the first tracks but somewhat hated the last three, i found them to be a little over the top and somewhat cheesy. but they made a lot of sense after some listens. now i like them a lot.

even i found the best position to listen the whole thing - bored at work, waiting for the project to arrive, staring at the window, looking the people/vehicles pass by. delicious album is delicious.

i want my record to arrive. seriously. i want my neighbors to hear what i'm blasting.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Now that I've had a chance to settle down from all of the fucking over I received.... it is a good album and is growing on me, especially with the two added Jap tracks. ;)

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Finally received yesterday (wasn't shipped to my house). No litho in either of the two copies ordered, bummer but such is life.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

wasn't aware of any litho's... but I only ordered the CD. I kind of wish I would have ordered the vinyl now... but no complaints. only received a slightly bended post card... I think i'll send it to Karl.. :D

love the LP. haven't had a chance to watch the video though... LOVE the Japanese only tracks.. especially Cascading Light. TG for the Internet!!! :cool:

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Japan Deluxe > Deluxe

Bonus Tracks, Stickers, Flyers, Obi Strip, Special.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Listening to Shadow Boy right now... this track is just ridiculously brilliant!
The piano note at the end of the track just tops it off!!

Bravo Mr. Hyde. Job well done on a fantastic solo release. Hoping you'll make your way out here to the West Coast of the US. Would love to hear these tracks live.

Time to scour YouTube again to satisfy my cravings... :cool:

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

This cut is amazing. I like it so much better than "Jigsaw Puzzle."

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

I think I actually prefer the score for The Outer Edges to the songs on Edgeland. I suppose the score is more Underworldy. I find myself not listening to any of the Edgeland tracks on their own, but I'll put on the record when I want a consistent tone to accompany what I'm doing or thinking. In that way it's a real proper album; Karl identified a sound and built a collection around it. But I wish I could listen to the isolated film score too.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

I haven't looked at the movie yet. What is the score like? Is it basically an instrumental Edgeland?

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

finally my record arrived yesterday. and it had a pic. which was no. 1

*dies*

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

*jaw drops* That's fantastic!

I'm saving my first listen for when I actually have time to focus on the album. Going on a family road trip soon and hope to give it a proper airing then...it's been a while since I've had a car and I miss highway listening! (Yes, I once received a speeding ticket for going over 100 mph to "Pearl's Girl.")

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

here are some pics of numero uno:

http://and-i-will-kiss.tumblr.com/#52100230706

compared to the journey pic in the site, mine is significantly darker.

Re: Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013
 

Yeah, with some of the percussive flourishes stripped out, making it sound more like some of the soft Underworld jams they'd sprinkle throughout the radio broadcasts.
