yeah, i think about that every time i grimace at the production on this. i think kaoru needs to reflect on what calc said lol



production on this was so pernicious to songs that weren't that strong to begin with

Yeah, Kaoru laughed. I don't wanna dive too much into it but he looked happy about the question. Tue (the previous producer) done a little bit of work with the band since Arche as a mixing engineer (may have been on the covers on the limited edition of TIW I think), but I think he isn't going to be with the band again as the main staff on production anymore. Going off Oboro, the sound will be similar to this but not nearly as muddy or abrasive, so some improvement.

which speaking of, i forget which one it was but one of their recent live shows was amazing. It was a no audience show at this small venue but the setlist and performances were great, they even played dead tree which is always a treat

Song lengths have leaked, we getting a 10 minute opener and a 9 minute closer. Very good.

Interesting, but I hope they will justify their length.

that sounds promising.



hopefully we're getting a much more intricate tracklisting this time -- maybe more proggy again.

Looks like Dum Spiro Spero and Uroboros are streaming again, at least on Tidal. Except Uroboros is listed as a live album for some reason lol

For whatever odd reason Dum Spiro Spero still isn't available in my region on either Tidal or Spotify, but stuff like Kai or the I'll single is, lol.
