6 track album

I enjoyed his Two False Idols release.

I tried to pre order 5.1 download on Bandcamp but the link would not take my order. Anyone else have that difficulty? Sad to see the hard copy is Australia only. Bummer

I found you can order the CD/DVD combo through The Bandwagon USA website. $16. With shipping, first class 21.90.

Ordered the CD/DVD from justforkicks which with P&P to the UK was just over £20, and also the 5.1 download via bandcamp with no issues.

 

[bayards]

Ordered via bandcamp - should get a link when ready in May as file too big to host on bandcamp

 

[peterzach]

Has anyone listened to this yet?
I think today is bandcamp friday.

 

[DuncanS]

Just downloaded the 5.1 bit late to listen to

 

[peterzach]

I just ordered it as well so just waiting for download link.

 

[bayards]

Downloaded but unable to extract files so far....corrupt says winrar. Have emailed with some naming suggestions for archive...seems to be naming convention.

I had the same problem yesterday but Ben emailed out some new links last night which worked OK for me. Just send him an email if you haven't received the details.

 

[bayards]

Cheers Matt. Yes Ben replied to my email. All sorted now.

Just got this one in; and after ripping the DVD, it's coming out as basically Quad with silent Center and LFE, is that what others are getting?

Music is nice and immersive!

 

[DuncanS]

I bought both the flacs & the DVD as my view was help the independent musician survive! I gave it a quick listen a few days back, a rather nice album!
So brought to you direct from the flacs! ...... I see the same as you

Yeah Dunc, but there is that little bit on song 1 d. (split out to: 04 Die Before You Wake d. Warming Glow) in the LFE? Odd

I don't have an LFE, just four floorshakers/window-rattlers & a centre, so I wouldn't have noticed!

 

[BenCraven]

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for discussing this!

The surround mix is essentially quadraphonic. I did experiment with the centre channel but didn't much care for the results in the context of the music.

The LFE channel only has the occasional special effect. A rumbling here and there, and perhaps I also directed the taurus pedal there.

There is a video where I try to explain my approach to this mix, if you're interested!
