DRIFT Series 1 - New album, Nov 1, 2019

[aphasein]

While we're all waiting until the new release date...

One thing I'm surprised I haven't seen much chatter on this thread about is how many new tracks we are getting with the box set.

I think those that have been following along and got/bought the EP's as they came out are probably used to them now and these new tracks will probably continue to feel like extras (though I hope they fit each disc theme and flow well together).

We're no longer getting the condensed "new album" version of Drift with the proposed reworkings turning into a sampler now, but with 11 unheard new tracks there's a good chance of a brand new album waiting in there.

I'm planning to make my own "Drift Songs" album out of these new tracks, even if a couple don't make it (like possibly the third Necks collaboration). Anyone else excited by this prospect of a whole new album worth of material hidden in the box set (especially with the hyped Two Arrows)?

Most of them I've only listened to once or twice, because I do almost all my listening in context of full physical releases. I was planning on burning my own CDr copies of the EPs but then the box was announced so I've basically been holding off until I get the whole thing and can enjoy it all together, now with bonus tracks.

Not surprised that the date's been pushed back, they only got the test books through last week. Much as I'm disappointed I won't be getting this lovely thing through sooner, it does give me opportunity to get the new Winged Victory for the Sullen album on the 1st now!

I’ve been assuming that the thread to make your own drift album isn't in full swing precisely because we don’t have an albums worth of songs to factor into it yet
