Really?! Darn...I'm missing everything grrrrrr!! My iTunes has f<%#ed up again!

I believe the videos can be found on the 'island' in HQ as well. I suppose they will end up somewhere on the internet at some point. The island thingy is quite nice, but it could have been better I guess.

But I still prefer the Bounty videos and their live but not really live first concert in the woods. The mystery is sort of gone now.

It's not even the mystery aspect for me, they just aren't advancing, at all. Even the basic plot of the video series has been the same 3 times now, she's hunted, we get it.

Actually, the main point of the Blue series is about leaving things behind and finding new territory.

rewak said:Same thing, she's escaping something always, just the location changes. The music barely evolves and neither has the concept. The only difference this time was they asked people for donations.


That may be the most cynical way of looking at it.

Well you're entitled to your opinion rewak, but many people, myself included, love the fact that they're still around. And the 'Generate' thing may have been questionable depending on the way you look at it, but at the end of the day, the videos and music they produce do take a lot of work and do need funds to be made. I know you and some others aren't fans of what they're currently doing and understandably weren't too pleased with the idea, but a lot of people were only too happy with contributing, who were then in a sense 'rewarded' with special emails and online access that others who didn't donate, did not receive. 

Well all this stuff about their " artistic direction" and sourcing doesn't interest me. I like the music, the new album especially, and will buy it off iTunes.

I see the whole film is being released Feb 17 on Vimeo and the Blue Island site. Watching just one of her videos makes my teeth chatter, I shall have to get into bed with my electric blanket on to watch the lot. Brrr.

I think you've misunderstood my comment, I'm not dismissing them because they aren't "weird enough", I'm losing interest because they haven't changed in nearly 6 years. The music has evolved but very barely, the method of release hasn't changed, and the only original part of what they were doing was the mystery aspect of who and what they were which was removed long ago. The idea of an audio visual album is nothing new, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bowie, all did this back in the 80s, even now artists still do it, Daft Punk, Beyonce, even freaking R Kelly! They already had the community by the end on Bounty as evidenced by them asking the community to choose a representative for the concert. Charging people for access to that is a bad idea, even Gaga wasn't that dumb when she attempted her failed Artpop community app, and if she can't maintain a community based project without the paywall a small indie group have no chance. Hell look at what's happened here, no one's interested in forums anymore. What I'm saying is they can't continue in the same way when they key element of what made them so inviting originally, the mystery, is now gone. They need a new release strategy, they need better promotions, they need to release more consistently, and they need to stop being so quiet to their fans when they've stopped hiding for the press. Why would I owe them credit? They haven't influenced anything, they haven't invented anything, and they haven't changed the face of anything. They've simply walked a path made by others before we were born.
