i'd say part 1 is weaker since the really cool part of the song is only like 3 out of the 5 minutes

LOL yeah, the only iffy part of the album is that section

so you're sorta put on hold for a total of five minutes of an entire sixty minute album

I worded that poorly lol. Leaving Your Body Map is maudlin's last work.

Part the Second is a release of songs they did earlier on, none of it is more current than anything on LYBM.

Citation needed dude. Fans DID donate to get that album made though

Lol, alright. The dude was starting the music from Part the Second at the age of nineteen. Beyond

talented.

Conor: In terms of ‘Part The Second’, maudlin of the Well has been dead for quite a few years, and

now that you’re working with Kayo Dot, why did you choose to have a maudlin of the Well album all of

a sudden ?



Toby: Well, those songs were all written back during the Maudlin period, as far back as ‘97. They’re

fairly old; between 97′ and ‘99. On the free download site of the album actually, you can see when

the songs were written. Some of them are like; ‘1997 to 2005′, and that’s simply the time between

the song being a simple idea and becoming a finished work. I messed with the songs for a little

while. The only reason, really, why we did another maudlin of the Well was because the fans wanted

it, and they funded it.



Conor: I guess finance is a big issue with this sort of music. I mean, you’re certainly not dining

with the Kardashians and I haven’t seen any Kayo Dot McDonalds toys so far, so there definitely must

be some strain in terms of making ends meet financially and getting these albums out.



Toby: I don’t know if you read about ‘Gamma Knife’, but we didn’t have any funding for that one, we

had to do it all ourselves!



Conor: Yeah, mixing the album in your bedroom!



Toby: I would do more stuff, if there was just a ‘way’ to do it. But, yeah, there’s not really a way

to do it.

Part the Second is their final release, some of the songs were written before and some were written after this but that doesn't really matter because they weren't actually recorded until 2009.

Interlude 4 is my favorite interlude. I think Gleam In Ranks or Bizarre Flower tie for my favorite song on the album. I love how the album ends with the dreamy guitar at the end of Monstrously Low Tide.

Weird, I seem to be the only one who's favorites are Interlude 3, The Curve to an Angle'd Turn, and

Sleep Is A Curse. Pretty much the center of the album.



Yeah, the end of Monstrously Low Tide is the perfect way to finish this thing off.



I'm pretty sure most of you have checked out the Secret Song (my favorite maudlin release along

with Blight Of River Systems and Interlude 3), but has anyone heard the bonus track The Painting of

Mu's Principle? Really strong song, love it.

Where did this song come from? Why isn't it on the vinyl release? I've never heard of it until now.
