If they continue the physical reissue boxsets, I hope they give Riverrun Series its due. I'd love to hear it remastered and expanded. Honestly, up until Drift Episode 1, Riverrun Series was my last favorite thing of theirs.

I view this Drift episodes as kind of continuation of the Riverrun series. Not exatly like that, but it reminds me of that somehow and I very welcome this new Drift approach for releasing music. Its great to be again connected like we were in the past, in the past decade. Appleshine is amazing piece of work, I can hear Ricks Yamaha DX7 there. Great atmosphere, like in old times. Hooray.

Re: Drift Ep. 2, Part 1 - Appleshine
Oh yeah, it's definitely like Riverrun, and I really appreciate that. Ultimately, I'll likely listen to the physical releases a lot more, purely out of habit and most of my listening coming from browsing my shelves. But the fact that they're releasing music in this way is enjoyable in itself: the feeling of connection, the excitement of a new track each week, the looser, more spontaneous approach to the music itself. There are still very few established artists really taking advantage of the freedom digital distribution provides, so I'm glad that some of my favourite artists are doing so (FSOL have been doing a 'calendar album' - one track a month over the course of a year - for three years now which feels very similar to this in some ways).

Re: Drift Ep. 2, Part 1 - Appleshine
there might be a physical release someday.

but in the past it was all on vinyl, which i love.

if it does come out on vinyl, i'm sure there will be complaints about that also.

i'm not saying cd's are dead. but the fact the vast majority of the recent underworld
singles are all digital is pretty much standard practice.

They might just top it and put it out on tape. I would not put it past anyone ��
Though, I would personally prefer a record. But then again, I’m old��

CD singles are pretty close to dead.

CDs still outsell vinyl, cassette and downloads in the UK. It's only streaming that beats them.

unless its a deluxe edition. i don't care about cd's.

nowadays, its this stupid digipack, or even worse,
a slipcase, and thats it.

it's not worth getting it for something i am going to rip,
and never look at again.

if you put out something deluxe, or 2cd, then MAYBE,
but other than that, vinyl and digital satisfy my needs.

for vinyl, i do play them, and rip them if there are exclusive tracks,
and sometimes they sound better than the official digital rips.

but mostly i like them for the artwork.

To each their own, my friend!

Frankly, a lot of my digital music gets tossed aside and forgotten. if i make the effort to buy a CD, that means (1) I like the artist more than casually, (2) i want to spend some focused time listening to them... digital is all-encompassing. I listen to streams and downloads on commutes and at work as background music.Bands and preferences come and go. It takes that little effort to load a CD and commit to the playtime. I have thousands of CDs, so the choice is not trivial. (3) Permanence, my man, permanence. So much digital info floats past us each day, we're all becoming attention-deficit. I like a reminder, a relic if you will, of what i was/am into, and the physical artwork (small as it is). It's an investment into the music of your life. Downloads are effortless and almost meaningless to me. By the way, i'm 39, have lived through vinyl, cassettes, CDs, digital files and streaming. I still prefer to collect my favorite bands on something tactile. I'll still burn mp3s/wavs/flacs to disc.

p.s. who cares about our musical consumption preferences? It''s so easy to jump media these days.
