since Willie's review gave enough praise I'll focus on the other spectrum alright so basically what I've come up with is that as far as overall sound the direction is totally fine, however the particular arrangements of most of the tracks are basically the same and it wouldn't hurt to think about writing a song without structure in mind because there's multiple places where I was thinking of different ways to transition, say, back to the beginning of a repeated section rather than playing it safe and sticking to the simplicity. Also there's a few areas sporadically throughout the record I thought could've had more layers to further define the tone, or consequently bring up new tones to blend with what's already there, but of course that aspect is just my opinion. If she was going for a more stark arrangement perhaps a different acoustic guitar could be used, different drum kit, etc. Either way I enjoyed it, but these are just ideas I had
It's not that I didn't focus on the "other spectrum" it's just that I didn't really think there was much to discuss. I try to avoid discussing what isn't on the album or my own personal ideas of what should have been added, because we can all do that on any album we listen to. I do see what you mean, though. I would love for her to experiment a bit more with her albums.

What's wrong with CDBaby? I know, I know - you have to register with them. What's the issue with that? I thought only old people were scared of buying shit off of the internet.

just out of interest, why don't you buy from the itunes store? is it because you don't have itunes or is there another reason?

Itunes is bullshit...I've gotten so many songs that skip from there. Never again will I buy from Itunes...now I just steal all my music ;)

Oh I see. I rarely buy online downloads, I prefer to have physical copies, but the few times I've used the itunes store I've not had any problems.

I've never had any issues with iTunes and I've been using it for years. If I were you I'd blame windows for corrupting your files, and being crap.

I could do that, but it's easier to place all the blame on itunes. Now if I buy a cd its from sunrise records or an hmv

Yeah, they do. It's really nice when listening to live albums or comedies.

Isn't LisbonGirls referring to skipping within the songs themselves? If I'm reading it right, gapless playback is just transitions between tracks. I don't see how the latter would be a dealbreaker.

Yes thats what I'm talking about, my comp works fine thank you very much. I don't know how why it happens but it has, so I'll never use itunes again.

May I recommend Winamp to you?
May I attempt to bring you back to the golden age of the nineties? I've got an awesome free AOL disc too, if you want it ;)

I finally got around to registering at CDBaby so I could get this. I'm liking it so far but I have two problems: Peter Murphy's voice is a bit bad and doesn't blend well with Fimm, and it's a bit long for my liking (just like Nexus). I have yet to encounter a song I don't like, but this could stand to be one or two songs shorter.



Also, this and White Birds are 4 seconds too long to fit on a single CD. : (
