Tomorrow's Harvest

[lyst]

Hate to say that I am underwelmed at this point. Praying this opinion changes. The new Lone on the other hand "Airglow Fires" is really really really good.

Lone is wicked, love his music. he was also inspired by BOC.


Has everyone picked up on the overall concept and message of Tomorrow's Harvest yet? I know I've talked to a few users who have, but it seems to me that others think it's just another BOC album...

If you haven't picked up on anything yet, maybe you should look up some current affairs.

Don't watch your 6pm news though, you will only blind yourselves more.

Has anyone with iTunes Match tried deleting the album and then re-downloading it, to see if the MP3 copies are replaced with the 256 kbps AAC?

Yes it doesn't work. it uploads them, rather than matching.

Yeah, if you try to download a song that iTunes doesn't have, it will just re-download the copy you uploaded, not a better/different one. So it won't work until next Monday.

Actually I'm wondering if it will match now that the record has been released in Japan? Worth a go maybe...

That's what I was going to try, but I doubt it will work, since iTunes Match is going to be tied to your account, which in turn is tied to your country's iTunes Store. If you could change your account to iTunes Japan, it might work, but is it really worth it?

Matching might not be country-specific. But you're right, I'm not going to make a huge effort with the official release only days away.

I've noticed that on the 320 kbps rip floating around, the final track is only 3:16, while the official album has it at 3:30. This seems to imply the 320 rip is just an upscaled stream recording.

Are all the track lengths correct on the other tracks compared to the official album listings?

I was half wondering if those gaps and fade outs in the stream and such were for the streams only and on the actual album version, if it would be different, highly doubt it, but got me thinking when I seen differing track times on some rips. That said, I've not downloaded any, waiting on bleep to come with the damn wavs.

All the other lengths seem to be correct, except for the final track. Also, most of the tracks appear to have the first note of the preceding song just before the cutoff (i.e. if a song is two minutes long, the first note of the next song can be heard at 1:59).

It's a bit messy, and I'm not sure if that's the product of the stream or intentional. If the latter, it's an odd way to do it, as generally song cycles are much more fluid than that.

Love that CD color. Hoping the labels on the vinyl share the same!

[StarblazerUK]

At the top of the cd it say's "I OVERFLOW MAN"

Anyone know what the crack is there?

Has anyone confirmed whether there are bonus tracks on the Japanese release yet?

[Quillz]

I don't believe there are any, there is no reference on anything official about a bonus track. Plus, it's out in Japan, which means if we haven't heard about it yet, it probably doesn't exist.

There is no Japan-only bonus track.

[Helios]

The last track length is 3:16 on the Japan release.

This.

What does that mean - is it an anagram of something perhaps?

Yeah what? Seems like an anagram maybe.

Thanks!

Really annoys me that they've been released digitally in one region but not another. Physical releases, sure, but...

The other thing that irritates me is that physical purchases don't get the FLACs included - why? People who bought the CD can make lossless copies, but those that bought the vinyl can't. I've bought the album, I shouldn't have to buy multiple editions to get a lossless version.

Probably nothing more than simple demand. Most people don't know or care about FLAC, they are perfectly content with MP3s or AACs. Thus, record labels generally won't bother with releasing music in every format possible.

Perhaps with proof of purchase, one could contact BoC/Warp directly and request a specific format? Maybe they could do it for an additional charge. I know of some very low-key indie artists who will do that.

Nevermind, I made a mistake. It's 3:30.
