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

Yeah have to agree about country specific bonus tracks , underworld have done this before .In this digital age of music why why why would you do this?

[crank]

uh, sounds like edge land. hate to be a debbie downer but not excited by these clips.

[stimpee]

Well Debbie, i'll hold my opinions till i hear more. I like at least 2 of the 3 tracks.

Not in favour of Japanese bonus tracks. I have ordered way too much UW stuff from Japan over the years to complete my collection. Hello CDJapan, looks like I'll be needing you again...

[ThingInABook]

what else i can say? I'M THRILLED.

also, i'm giggling like a schoolgirl because Santiago 4 is the name of a prison in Santiago, Chile (wonder if i'm confusing it with the Colina prison). yes, and according to an interview, Santiago was written in the city of Santiago during 2008. wonder if it's related to Trance's Santeago???

i haven't heard a thing yet. i was expecting a new track for today, not a full album release!!

also, dude, the boxset is almost a half of my monthly rent!! and since i don't have real disposable income atm, i settled for the CD+book...

[holden]

Great surprise! Was expecting announcement to be about a play score or Karl's book.

How many times in a row can I listen to the preview? Let's find out!

Seriously, this sounds good. Even the first bit is growing after the initial shock. Middle segment seems poised to really bang, and the final guitar figure is almost comfortably familiar.

I'm actually glad they seem to take another direction than Barking had them on, and if they are in the mood for experiments then it sounds like they are having fun!

With all the remasters and bonus materials they keep throwing at us, I can do with some new directions on the new material.

The drums sound horrible...

[jetpig]

First section reminds me most of Someday World in production quality; synthetic, almost "fake/plastic" synth sounds. It's growing on me, though, and the rest of it sounds amazing. Is 'The Rhythym' a fresh vocal, or a sample left over from various ALAF takes, I wonder? That final snippet is giving me goosebump feels already.

The shop isn't saying that anymore, so I guess that means the first 100 have all gone. My email receipt definitely says "Special Edition (Signed/Numbered)", so I think that means I was quick enough :-)

Guess we have to wait 10 years now, to hear some more tracks than are contained in the 45 minutes of the album
