I second this. But like I've said some post earlier, if this latest leak turns out to be the real stuff (the more I listen, the more I'm convinced it is) then Bleep will put the downloads up real soon now. They need to counter the illegal downloading. If they don't put up the album this week, I think it's a fake one we've been listening to. I just can't comprehend if they allow ppl downloading the full album like this without doing jack shit.

A friend of mine analyzed the leak in a wave editor and noticed extreme clipping on some of the tracks. Also a sound difference visibly noticeable in the two ilanders. I reckon it's their original way of watermarking the promo by deliberately messing up different tracks on different promos.

unless you like sushi

I chopped it all up on ableton earlier. ress 4:42 ilanders 5:25 known(1) 4:38 pt2ph8 4:05 qplay 4:34 see on see 4:33 Treale 5:59 os veix3 4:36 0=o 4:46 d-sho qub 6:23 st epero 4:02 redfall 3:18 krylon 6:32 yuop 5:51 I removed the extra ilanders in there as well. may not be exact cuts. total length 69min 24sec. It is real. http://xltronic.com/mb/112378/oversteps-initial-impressions I wrote a review track by track there. They way you chopped it up is not consistent with what the big shot mag reviewer provided on his last.fm: r ess (5:12) ilanders (5:32) known(1) ?? pt2ph8 (4:09) qplay (4:38) see on see (4:37) Treale (6:05) os veix3 (4:37) O=0 (4:52) d-sho qub (6:26) st epreo (1:43) redfall (3:48) krYlon (6:08) He scrobbled it like ths. So his version is just the actual promo cd with seperate tracks ripped to mp3 and tagged. Your st epreo is more than double in length... it does not add up. There is something fishy going on here...

The big shot magazine reviewer got this listed on his last.fm : r ess (5:12) ilanders (5:32) known(1) ?? pt2ph8 (4:09) qplay (4:38) see on see (4:37) Treale (6:05) os veix3 (4:37) O=0 (4:52) d-sho qub (6:26) st epreo (1:43) redfall (3:48) krYlon (6:08) --- ilanders on this leak lasts for almost 7 minutes. that's really odd. This makes me think this m4a file is a recorded one on one stream copy. Someone played the album from start to finish, played ilanders twice and then it got recorded just like that. A true one on one copy from a live stream. So I don't think this is a CD rip at all.

PS2: Also all of this could just be AE's big promotional event. That would be really original as a matter of fact! :D

In the preview/review by the big shot magazine reviewer there is some talk about four leaks that surfaced... I thought the general consensus is there has only been found two leaks as of now? Being the Altered:Carbon leak and the one right after that. Nothing else leaked, imho. So where did they find four leaks? Could it be that AE has leaked this supposedly real album but instead provided only two real tracks (ilanders and see on see) and filled the rest with leftofters fron their very own productions? It's not impossible I'd say. Whenever bleep puts out samples I'll be convinced of the whole and till then I'll enjoy this new out-of-the-blue leak. Which is another thing that puzzles me.. how come it all of a sudden leaked?! It seems too much of a coincedence... PS: Altered:Carbon's self titled album is properly released now: http://section27netlabel.blogspot.com/2010/02/s27-035-alteredcarbon-alteredcarbon.html

That would be a win win situation imho. Fake AE tracks which are really great AND a yet unheard new AE album inbound. I'd sign for that + love to get proper titles for the might-be-fakes.

fixed

Maybe that's the easy way for them to determine who leaked the promo album. Each promo copy might double another track in the listing. Lolz

I reckon bleep will put up the files real soon now to counter the leak.

Is it just me or is ilanders played twice in row in this m4a? explains the total length of this file too.. also dug these up from big shot magazine reviewer's last.fm profile: r ess (5:12) ilanders (5:32) known(1) ?? pt2ph8 (4:09) qplay (4:38) see on see (4:37) Treale (6:05) os veix3 (4:37) O=0 (4:52) d-sho qub (6:26) st epreo (1:43) redfall (3:48) krYlon (6:08)

overstepsimmm

same thx

drane2, garbagemx36, and the likes are not what I'd call ambient.. but if it's like this then I'm totally cool with it because these tracks are insanely good; there's lots going on in these songs.. lots of percussion and layers.. I just hope they won't release anything very minimalistic drone/soundcape shizzle; that's what I'd call boring. There should be life in the tracks. It should sound rich.

Beatless might be great if only two or three songs, but not a full album I think. The samples later today will be very interesting to hear.

Hopefully "extreme calm" is just relatively speaking when compared to Quaristice. I won't feel much for a beatless ambient album I'm afraid. That music just doesn't really do it for me. I need at the very least some gentle percussion/beats.

The track see on see is chopped off all of a sudden. Does not feel right. Or that might be on purpose....

I lost count now. Which leak is this refering to? The Altered:Carbon one with the track known(1) with the chopped vocals which is actually called tinted corvettes on Altered Carbon's myspace site? If not, could you pm a link to rar file you listed which supposedly is real and the os veix3 being an extended track... thanks

it was a funny read/translation indeed.. but the best part is the album will be out third of march in japan.. only one moth before we're able to download it! (yes I've already pre-ordered it at bleep, but that won't keep me from downloading the japanese leak!)

that will be quite the interesting read in Big Shot magazine issue 31.. i wonder when it will be published! (it's the full length review of this preview)

his imagination of course

As long as it isn't all just pure ambient/soundscapes/fieldrecording/... that would be boring as hell. A couple of tracks I could stand, but I need the signature AE style! At the very least add subtle beats/percussion.
