Sorry if this is a dupe, I haven't been here in a while...  I couldn't find an existing thread about it.

this is cool. I like that they're laughing at times

[mcbpete]

Had no idea he'd done one of those pre-listening things a la Syro, has he always done that for his major albums ?

I remember this being announced - I think we had something on WATMM at the time... there was one for Geogaddi too that was in a church.

... there was one for Geogaddi too that was in a church.

Definitely remember that one, seem to remember reading a report of possibly some folks here going to it and laying down in the aisles during the listening (and me just thinking how much the album would be reverbed away)

Californian abandoned theme park > Church

There was one for Drukqs in Oslo as well.

Yes, you have me there - absolute perfect setting for Tomorrow's Harvest.

 

Oh, BOC, where art thou? Thou hast forsaken thy faithful? Return to our welcoming breasts... soon.

I remember reading about it. I can't imagine being in the audience to hear this album for the first time. I am enjoying listening to people listen to it for the first time.

[Kavinsky]

this must have been surreal

[Uros]

Thanks for posting! Interesting alternative track order.

[Bubba69]

is it just me or is cock v 7 a little different?

Listening to people listening to Drukqs. What a phenomenal album tho. I still remember picking up the double CD and sitting on a bench downtown waiting for the bus to pick me up, in a gentle snowfall and listening to Jynweythek Ylow for the first time. That moment will be etched into my mind until it is no more.

 

Edit: Jesus the impact of 54 Cymru Beats as the second track is brutal. Maybe I'll rearrange the track-listing and give it all a re-listen.

Ps does anyone have drukqs on vinyl and if so, how does it sound on vinyl? I Imagine real tasty.

[HexagonSun]

How can you prelisten an album that was released like 2 thousand years?

[may be rude]

yeah real nice. If you're lucky enough to get hold of the 'original' analord 10 it's that level of quality
