For those of you who do not (yet) know the material, it is a total departure from "the norm".

There are no recognizable instruments, no rhythms, no vocals, no harmony and no melodies. It's pure dark & creepy sounding, meant for total late night immersion

Could be really interesting.

Almost a perfect description of the Top 10 at any given moment!

Wow, in 5.1. Immersion is the right word; I have the first Bass Communion from several years ago. While it is certainly a departure from songcraft, it still has a momentum and achieves some stunning peaks.

I don't know where SW finds the time to do all these things but glad he does. Being a 5.1 champion is awesome too. :

Ill be in for one of those just in time for my 40th birthday

Be warned it is VERY dark.......

You will love this then.

Release date is announced (see thread in other part)
It's 13th November 2006. Soleilmoon takes pre-orders now, but you might wait for Headphone Dust which will take pre-orders later.

$16.99+$4US to Canada is a damn good price! Thanks for the info!

Neil, could you put a bug in someone's ear about putting Blackfield on 5.1 DVD-A? I'd say it'd be a must buy.

Is there just rampant, tortured screaming...? Is this David Lynch, moody-dark, or something else?

I'd expect no screaming whatsoever based on Bass Communion 2 that I already have. Kind of like a gothic soundtrack, Fripp & Eno territory perhaps, only more modern in textures...
