Re: Drift Ep. 2...wishes and predictions
Listening to EP2 on the walk to work this morning and...
I dont think we're getting physical releases of this.
now familiar with rick's process of 31 alternate versions of any particular track combined with this being a "very public experiment" mirroring riverrun, i don't see how they would end up releasing these as an album without first messing around, perhaps drastically, with tracks that previously cohered in less than a day.
plus they've always thought about formats that were not only non-album, but non-physical. sometimes the finished work belongs best on a digital medium (a la autechre's elseq). the physical isn't necessarily canon.
these are meant to be enjoyed for what they are, these EPs aren't necessarily building towards something, they are the moment. Whether we get a statement via album from all of this seems like one possible idea instead of the goal.
Though I hope, considering the universally positive feedback, that they don't mess with them toooo much if we do see an album out of it
