Dammit...still no vinyl outside of NIN.com...

Does anyone have a list of tempos for the tracks TRAR are on to add here?

[arsenic]

a new clip, in which you can hear some of the soundtrack (it sounds a little different from the album).
Very nice to have Elon Musk, Tesla and TR+AR in the same video : )

Due to its length, it'll be a double cd, but that's still steep. Amazon UK now have mp3 download at £7.99. So £3 cheaper than what Apple were charging a week ago.

And it's now up on Spotify in the UK. A lot of arguing could have been saved if they'd just announced this was going to be the strategy all along...

My preference, certainly.

Have just spotted that the chords in At Dusk are the same as in the guitary bit of Before The Flood.....

Does people who ordered the vinyl on the US store get 24/48 files ?
Cannot find it anywhere (and I consider I deserve it as I ordered the vinyl also, but in the UK store).

There was an email by someone from the UK office that stated that you only get MP3 files from the UK store. Pretty shitty.

Yes I know That's why I'm asking if our american friends were luckier...

[niggo]

Oh, damn, sorry! Got that wrong.

Yeah, I believe they have more luck.

[Substance242]

Bought on Google Play for 9,49 € including 1,58 € tax (Slovakia), downloaded (!), 222.4 MB of 320 kbps mp3.

So, should I have my first listen here at work on crappy headphones... nah, I can wait till evening, bed and darkness. :-)

Shocked to see so many negative comments about Mogwai...

Dust Bowl is one of my favorite tracks. And I have to say I have been diggin the last 3-4 albums they have put out.

Funny enough, minus the GS songs, this album sounds like a Alessandro Cortini album.

Least favorite track is by far "A Minute to Breathe". Feels awkward following Before The Flood.



Lastly, One Perfect Moment (at the 2:20 mark) is ALMOST a direct copy of Music For Airports by Eno. Not a ripoff...but VERY similar.

Yeah. Huge Eno influence on all of this.

[simonn]

Yep, I have to say, I like the Mogwai stuff, apart from Huaynaputina. They could almost be Reznor/Ross songs, shimmying keyboards, not in any hurry, good production. Not sure if they produced their own stuff actually, or if Reznor/Ross as score supervisors were responsible for that side of things too? All the Santaolalla is very good too, don't find myself ever even considering forwarding those tracks.

Amazon france announce a cd for 16dec

Yes, we had the choice for 24/48 wav or the 320kbps mp3 download. Earlier in this thread I posted a screenshot of the download link (obscured) that I received.

That's what i was afraid of. So we basically paid for the same thing, from the same link (nin.com redirects directly to the UK or US store depending on location)... But we have less than the US customers. That's a huge miss. (But at least we will receive the vinyl for a decent price...)

[witte]

by the way, just fyi, the complete album is dropped on spotify right now.

[arsenic]

you can now watch BTF:

Unreleased track at 51.23? I'm still watching it, there might be more

[Substance242]

Listened on headphones yesterday, went asleep for unknown amount of time :-) but enjoyed, now it is playing on my 5.1 in "6 channel stereo" mode (tried Neo:6 Music, DPL2 Music, did not work good) and right now At Dusk is amazing... I have ID3 tags displayed (no need to change them, good enough right from Google Play) so I know now, but in the dark yesterday I had no idea who did what.

Also, downloading the movie from youtube right now... (I am just not streaming person, if such thing exists...)

[WorzelG]

Check out this tweet from Invada records indicating there will be a CD

[xfocalinx]

Just to be sure and noticing the unfairness of the absence of lossless format in the UK store while available in the US, I received this message :

Hello there,

Unfortunately these are the only files we have been provided with and will not be getting any other format for the files.


I understand that this seems unfair however we cannot change the format we were given.


If it comes to our attention that we will be receiving higher formats I will inform you right away.


I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused for you.

So it is really the fact that whoever is in charge did not send the lossless file to the store... Weird.
(And getting a bit worried on not finding the 24/48 anywhere in the dark world)

[cahernandez]

Dammit, the soundtrack is so good (I was a bit afraid after reading some of the comments in this thread) that it now makes me want to get the vinyl, but it is pricey. Folks, do you think that Amazon will get it at a lower price (the vinyl itself)? I know the shipping will be cheaper with them.

[Jon]

I did not listen to any of the soundtrack before watching the film itself. The context for my opinion is in listening while watching the documentary.

Moody, atmospheric, excellent. There are many times that I thought of Lustmord, where a drone can sink you to the lowest lows or elevate you to the pinnacle of happiness. I did not have the feeling this was cliché or redundant. I'm not personally sure how one could hear these melodies, accompanied by gorgeous cinematography, and not be almost completely in awe. This is a documentary, but should be viewed like a film (big screen + your concentration).

Spoiler: The wrap-up where DiCaprio is talking about the final panel of Bosch's painting and the music builds until the credits gave me goosebumps.

[Substance242]

I'm just smiling internally at my silly idea "soundtrack: Before the Flood, produced by: Flood"... forgive me. ;-) Going to watch the documentary tonite.
