My first was in the car on the way home for lunch... it moved me to the point that I had tears in my eye's by the time I pulled into the neighborhood which I had to quickly wipe away because I didn't want my wife to think anything was wrong. Nothings wrong, everything's right in my world today and I hope yours too. Much Love!...
My first listen of the hi-q version was on my home set: Marantz NR-1603 Receiver/Amplifier + Bowers&Wilkins 684 towers + additional powerful Monitor Audio Subwoofer.

Pure bliss! The basslines on this track are phenomenal.

Did anyone else think this rock has a face in it when it cuts to a close up

"8 years" seems to be the phrase that's getting thrown around a lot, since it does make for a weighty journalistic soundbyte. but that does overlook the EP in 2006, a (quite good) remix in 2007, and the sublime "seven forty seven" in 2009. so i prefer to think of it as only four years since we've last heard from them, since that takes some of the pressure off "tomorrow's harvest" to represent the accumulated effort of eight years of work.

ha yeah I thought that too. The desert also really looks like where The Hills Have Eyes was filmed, was out in '77 too. Probably mentioned plenty of times already.

The track is not as dark or as spooky as I thought it would be. Far off from gloomy Geogaddic atmospheres... In the other hand, it sounds like a shoeglazic Trans Canada Highway version of Zoetrope mixed with 747. Not bad, but I still prefer the track from the Tomorrow's Harvest reveal...

Just got in, downloaded my Bleep copy, big headphones, volume...

Absolutely fucking stunning. Really, really like the sound.

One caveat - it could have been a good 5 minutes longer for me. If this and the track on the album reveal are anything to go by, this is really going to be something special.

Wow.

I was having a normal day, playing games n whatnot. Decided to see what twoism is up to and I come to this! Of coarse I have the album pre-ordered so I immediately downloaded the song and watched the video on my big screen in 1080p. WOW! I love it! I've had a few more listens on my headphones and am just so happy to have new BoC.

Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

Also, that red background with the warp 2013 copyright on it is beautiful I want it as my desktop!

Totally! Labyrinth style! That's one creepy rock! I think the whole track/vid feels quite foreboding.

Presses play, and then types: this.
