The wind is coming, wait
Time moves slowly on the island

...and other non-sequiturs spoken by Karl over a slow-ish beat. I'm not sure there's much of a song in here, but I like the menacing bass hum and the treated guitar sound. I guess moody would be one way to describe it. But then I've only heard 90 seconds of it on the itunes Japan preview.
Based in the UK, I have switched my itunes country from GB to JP, but I'm not sure I can buy the album on Japanese itunes without a Japanese registed credit card. Am I wrong? Is there a trick to this?

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Yes. PM. Me.

btw - Japan iTunes d/l is ready now...

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

You can buy a voucher for iTunes Japan - loads of them on eBay

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

and now 23 blue instantly reminded me of the Orbital song on The Beach soundtrack.

(from the snippet i liked it tho.)

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

The 1:30 snippet of 23Blue from Itunes.jp sounds awesome, I can't wait to get my hands on the full track.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Oh my F-God!! 23 Blue is the best track on album! Definitely buy the japan CD.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Has the japan UW albums got the original english booklet with the original artwork, or japan UW CDs have japanese booklets, with different artworks?

Thanks!

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

if anyone is feeling friendly... :)

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Usually, the album artwork and packaging in Japan is pretty much the same as anywhere else, but they put all the Japanese-specific on an obi strip which wraps around the spine of the release. I don't know about this specific album, but it's probably like that.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Thanks!

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

i cant believe im considering paying another $25 for one song because im not finding 23b anywhere else. just when i thought i was above that.... :P

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

24 Bit Japanese Edition...

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

cant figure it out. just want the one track.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

ah, snagged it. its lovely.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Gah! How did you buy the one track? I keeps making me get the whole album. What's the trick?

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Check this link: https://www.wasabeat.com/tracks/1206...japan-original

Also 1.30 sample.. Indeed great stuff!

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Don't like that Japan only track. Sounds like a horrible early demo for Spoonman with Dark and Long chucked in.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Listening to the LP in 24-bit is a beautiful thing... :cool:

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

neither of those comparisons make any sense

it's like sola sistim but good.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Just found a Flac version of 23B. Really. For me is the best one. It seems that this one wasn't touched by High Contrast. And it's a good thing..

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

I know 23b will likely never get played live, but it would be wicked!

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

According to the back cover, Esme and Tyler provided additional vocals on If Rah, Motorhome, Ova Nova, and Nylon Strung.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

ok, 23B works REALLY well after Santiago. With this track added in, the album feels way more complete to me.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

must be started, the addition of this track has completely changed my listening of the album. I no longer skip Santiago as it perfectly flows into this gorgeous, raw, layered track. just blows my mind that it wasn't included in the album proper. It makes the album jump up an entire letter-grade for me.

(i still skip I Exhale 90% of the time.)

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

My favorite track on the LP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rviXy-7zMgQ

Ha! but seriously I keep playing 23B and this new Sasha track back to back... they work well together.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

What's the trick to buying this???

I was able to add the track to my cart, but as soon as I created an account, it will not let me buy it....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

A PM from anyone on how to purchase from one of these Japanese sites would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

My hunch is that it was "album only" from this site. I tried it

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Growing on me now.

I'm still missing the pad-synths and dark 4/4 beats of old but I'm enjoying it on the second and third listens.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Can play the bonus track here..Stream only..

Is this the sort of thing that calls for a Japan-based VPN?

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Lush. Bass. New. Happy. Right. Development. Exploring. Positive. Exciting. Uplifting.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

dunno. i gave up trying from them and found elsewhere.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

May I ask where?

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Has anybody saw the japan CD? I want to the see the booklet, the back cover.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

On the underworld live website, the special edition box now shows release date of next Friday, March 25th. Hope that's not delayed any longer.

Jason

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Special Edition is now Sold Out FYI

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)
 

Anyone have the japanese CD? It would be good to be know about the packiging, booklet...etc. Mine is still on the way.
