What's with this new E7 extended thing they just dropped on Bandcamp? Are these all new tracks or is it just a collection of previously released pieces?

Klein - Touched by an Angel Ryuichi Sakamoto - 12 Mediafired - Div@s Paradise Akh - Amon And the new Depeche Mode album was pretty dope.

91-93 tracks. Couldn't ask for anything better.

This an OPN's new album have been two of the biggest disappointments this year. They're not bad but they both have a lot of jumbled ideas that do not work very well, IMO.

Are the digitals some kind of Bleep exclusive? It's not showing up anywhere else. Previews sound really, really nice.

60 second previews. I like the piano piece linked already but I'm not sold at all on the rest - well, at least from these previews. https://www.juno.co.uk/products/biosphere-inland-delta-vinyl/981733-01/

Don't understand how I missed this last year. First new album in 11 years. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various

Yeah, I just do not understand how I missed this last year, especially as I'm subscribed to Exo Tapes feed. Too much information every day.

First album since 'The Pathway Through Whatever' in 2011, which remains the best vapourware work of all time, IMO. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various

Previews of all tracks are now up at Bleep. https://bleep.com/release/413005-vince-clarke-songs-of-silence

I like this in first listen. Quite promising.

What did you think? I wasn't overly interested in a lot of it. Too many pieces felt like discarded demos. Ironically, the individual pieces dropped sporadically over the last twelve months on Bandcamp, I've enjoyed a lot more than what's on this album.

That sounds very good.

My girlfriend went to spin this album earlier. I told her it wasn't for her. It's luxury sonics.

It's a valid point. As much as I think their stuff is great, it doesn't seem like they have the chops to put out any new material and haven't done so in decades. They're happy to coast along on the memory - the odd book signing and remastered/remixed versions of some of their (now very old) tunes.

I'm donning my Balenciaga dressing gown and Prada slippers, ready for these luxury sonics.

Just bought this. Always good stuff from Modern Love.

Woah. Flippers rejoice.

Album artwork and second preview track There is also a supposed extremely ltd edition digital of a track called CdG ( a nod to Comme des Garçons? or maybe Cori Dionne Gauff - an American professional tennis player) - it's limited to only 5 copies and cost $364. Gulp.

Yeah, I like it too. I wasn't keen on that other soundtrack he did recently, cannot remember the name of it. This is a much better fit.

The Mystic 1925 A fantastically atmospheric but rarely seen missing link in the development of Tod Browning’s artistry, set amid his favored milieu of shadowy sideshows and clever criminals, The Mystic provides a striking showcase for silent-era diva Aileen Pringle, who sports a series of memorably outré looks (courtesy of art deco designer Erté) as Zara, a phony psychic in a Hungarian carnival who, under the guidance of a Svengali-like con man (Conway Tearle), crashes—and proceeds to swindle—American high society. Browning’s fascination with the weird is on full display in the eerie séance sequences, while his subversive moral ambiguity extends surprising sympathy to even the most seemingly irredeemable of antiheroes. New 2K digital restoration of The Mystic, with a new score by composer Dean Hurley. I've only hear the previews so far, which are on Bleep. https://bleep.com/release/423142-dean-hurley-the-mystic-original-score

This is good. Most importantly, it still sounds like them. If you know what I mean.

Forgot that this is out Friday.
