Bungalow with Stairs album

[whatmakesustick]

My number was also blank - thinking about writing '1' in there and selling it on eBay for £1,000,000 ;-)

Wonder if the blank number implies overstock of some kind or test prints or more likely, just a mistake.

Love the album and the artwork. At first I thought it was just good background / chill music, but having listened to it a few time there are plenty of recognisable moments that make me think of this as more of an 'album'....

I got # 378. It's a nice book. I thought it would be thicker for some reason, though. And I like the cd. The dialogue near the beginning on the last track is kind of funny.

One word:

"....YEAH....!!!!"

in the end, they really can't win..

1) release something online only -> people complain that there isn't a physical release
(see riverrun series, alll the latest singles from 'barking')

2) release something physical only -> people complain that it isn't available digitally
(see the BWS album+book, tokyo 3xcd, underworld video compilations)

3) release something in vinyl only -> people complain that it isn't digital format
(some of the riverun singles, although most have been converted over now)

4) release something limited -> people complain about the price, and how hard it
is to get it, and in what formats etc... (the barking limited editions w/extra cd)

so looking at all the different combinations of how they could release something,
to make people 'happy'..

it boils down to releasing everything digitally, on vinyl, cd, and at a cheap cost..
which i just don't see happening anytime..

by the way, i'm not sure what arrangements bjork/depeche mode/pet shop boys
have... but they have been putting out a ton of singles, box sets, and all kinds of
other fancy formats of all the above for the last couple of albums... i'm sure they
have a larger audience, so that's something to take into account too..and also, their
limited editions are not 'cheap' either...

I had some money in my paypal account and added more funds and ordered the CD tonight.

So lots of people think the album is good? I sure hope (and expect) it is good.


Edit: Adding in this...I was hesitating on buying this, but went and bought it last night. I went a checked the shop a day later, about 24 hours later, and it is SOLD OUT. Holy shit, I lucked out.

For anyone who didn't get their hands on it yet, fear not.

I was worried that my copy would be returned to sender while I'm out of town, so I emailed them, and was told not to worry -- especially since they're ordering more CDs / Catalogs.

Now I play the waiting game... again.

[dubman]

had a listen to this, finally.

at first i found it to be a little exhausting but got on the bus with it and now i'm in love. it's amazing, disturbing, angular, and vivid. almost want to drop the $60 on it.. almost.. might yet.. augh man.

[Sappys Curry]

I just got it today. Listened to it once. I need more listens to give it a better opinion. I like tracks 6, 8, and 9 the best (so far; I need more listens).

HA......nice summary....

For me, I just want to be able to get myself a copy of some music to enjoy without having to jump through hoops for it. I'm almost 40, my job takes up a lot of my time, and I like to spend the rest of it with my wife, family and friends, not doing ridiculous online scavenger hunts just to hear a bit of music. And honestly, that's what Underworld seems to have been doing more of the past few years. Japan only releases where I'd have to set up a ghost address in Japan to qualify for a Japanese itunes purchase, or limited releases that require constant random checks of the website in hopes of catching it the moment 10 more become available. It's a little unnecessary in a time when digital files can be so easily made available to all. I don't think that's too much to ask. But whatever. I'm at the point where I've just stopped trying. Too bad for Underworld, because I have money to spend on them if only they would let me....
