Yes dont go swimming. High temperatures cause risks of cyanobacteria which are very harmful.

It wont be a HQ leak from a 44.1 cd master. Security is tight. Probably a transcode recorded at 320, streamed at 128k.

Hm. No CDs were pressed as far as I know which would mean somebody's watermark review copy is leaking which is very very bad.

Hm. In that case I better call a therapist. My ears are a bit too Freudian for me LOL

Thea - the elusive
Dreeke: do you hear the words 'wanted you gone wanted you dead' in one of the verses as well? Or is that just my twisted mind?

Thea - the elusive
Thea has a battle like energy for me.Don't pin me down on these lyrics because I'm not good at transcribing them and Alison has a way of singing them through her nose, but somewhere in there I SWEAR I hear her sing, "wanted you gone, …

I wish Mute would release iTunes previews so people could get a small taste you know?It's quite a good song. I hope they do it live during the rest of the tour.

How do you feel today?
Remember: what doesn't kill you makes you fatter! (that is the original version!)

But Mute is not making money off the promos so that is just cruel.

Of the single? A week before the album? And the video 2 months earlier.Wow. Did Mute forget to read Marketing for Dummies?

PS: I love the cinematic back lighting and spots on Alison in these shows. It really adds to the whole picture. They really paid attention to every aspect of this album. It is their Magnum Opus...

Is there a single release date for Drew? I can't find it anywhere except eBay Radio Edit promos.

In the line up it is THE perfect last song actually.The actual last words of the album are: My only loveSleep wellGoodnight

Thea - the elusive
Yes.It's the only upbeat song on the album. (Tempo wise it had the most BPM or is the most danceable so to say).It has a very raw stomping beat in the middle section. Soaring loud vocals in the chorus.There are also prominent synths in it. It&#…

Laurel's album vocal is a very different one than all the other ones on the album Carp. It's darker. moodier, technically different and in a rather low key for Alison, but it works. It's a refreshing take on her voice from that perspe…

Alison has the power to look fabulous on any stage under all kinds of circumstances. The woman radiates. Heat or no heat: she is a stage Godess.

(Maybe it's called Clay because it is not only a name, and a re-interpretation, but also a reference to "grey wet sand" as sung in the song). [edit] OMG she screwed up the timing for a few moments during and after the bridge. She sta…

I wish I could hear the promo version. I wonder what they did to it.

Yup. That's the one. Good to see we discussed the actual one in our thread earlier.

Premiere of 'Tales of us' at Manchester Int Festival, July 17/18 2013
Yeah thats the letter posted in the Clay thread. I KNEW it had to be that one.Good to see she included a few tidbits at the VERY END of the song that refer to the sleeping part.

And I wish they'd release the artwork High Res HQ.

(PS: The birds are not on the press promo of Tales. It's a clean cut version of Drew without birds in it in any way).

God I wish I had the promo of Drew. I wonder how they edited it without leaving out essential strings and lyrics. Wasn't Tottenham house also used for a lot of films by the way?

1. Drew (Radio Edit) - 3:50 Thanks! I was hoping for an album instrumental like they had on Melancholy Sky, but no.

Comment by Stranger July 2013 permalink
DREW
So what IS the exact tracklist of the Drew Promo? Anyone?

Comment by Stranger July 2013 permalink
DREW
Well, anyways, ballroom is what I was thinking. Ballroom is superb for the album. Especially in a cinematic setting. Ps: you cal Waltz to Jo I think.
