DRIFT Episode 5 "GAME"
Surrounded by stars, GAME is a road sign that points to the future.

We messed up. We’re late. Later than usual. And so… here is Episode 5 in its entirety as a free download, for you, available until it goes up on streaming services in the coming days… until then:

Re: DRIFT Episode 5 "GAME"
Are there any similarities and differences to the previously released singles? I’m on holiday right now without a PC so I’m unable to download the EP

Outside of 'Mile Bush Pride' now being cut in half the only difference I've noticed is slight mastering differences with the previous 'singles'. Most are slightly increased in volume, but I did notice that compared to the rest of Drift the volume was a bit quieter on the newer tracks as they came out each week, these now fit the series as a whole volume wise.

One more change I noticed is the end of Give Me the Room. There are some stereo differences, and it's deliberate because the stereo imaging is the same in the rest of the song.

In the film version, starting at about 6:30, the high bleeping line that comes in has a strong left channel presence through the end of the song. On the EP version, it's been centered much more. Also, Karl's looped vocal fragment that comes in at about 8:00 also has a strong left channel bias in the video version. In the EP that's been moved to a mild right channel bias.

Re: DRIFT Episode 5 "GAME"
I don’t know if anyone has pointed it out yet, but Tree and Two Chairs— they entirely removed the piano that runs through the whole track. I’m gutted. The interplay between the piano, minimal techno sounds and percussion put this track to a very high spot for me, personally being close to one of the best DRIFT tracks. Yet one of these integral layers have been removed. It hurts to know that the definitive version of this track has ended for the worse, in that it’s much more monotonous. I guess that’s the beauty of DRIFT— right?

Where is the piano? In which version? I can't hear it on the film version and on the EP version.

So, I A-B'd this track a little more carefully, and I noticed several additional subtle differences. The chirping noise that comes in at 0:50 has a different pattern throughout its appearances between the YouTube version and the EP/album version. It's really easy to miss, and I almost had to map out the pattern to realize it was different in a lot of places.

On the EP version, the kick drum takes a two measure break at 1:53, while the YouTube version powers through.

On the EP version, a chuffing sound begins gradually fading out at around 6:35. On the YouTube version, it continues full strength until the string comes in at 6:51.

On the EP version, the string sound at 6:51 fades out much sooner at about 7:02. On the YouTube version, it continues until about 7:45.

I think the YouTube version must be an earlier version with the EP being a later, more refined version.

Toluca Stars changed its ending a bit. After 7:15 the periodic low piano note is removed and the song lasts about 10 seconds longer before fading out.

Wow, nice catch on the piano chord. I probably wouldn't have noticed that.

As to the fade-out, the YouTube video fades out earlier, but the digital single that was released that week actually faded out later at 10:18, same as this EP version.

Re: DRIFT Episode 5 "GAME"
Mile Bush is 1:35 like the album version?? But why? The video version is nearly 3 mins. So the video version will be unreleased?
