Sweet, I wonder why neither that nor Synthi A are released on RSD, maybe the fsol collective has tired of the supply shortages, and want to make sure their fans don't get shorted by hipsters who just happen to see them in a store. So the Accelerator release is their official RSD 2016 release, as it's a reissue. Strange that Amazon leaked this BHT release before fsoldigital.

Ell, I'm gonna repost your link as a new release if that's cool.

Also getting a vinyl release? Not that I just spend all day looking on Amazon ;)



Also a bit random this one but I didn't realise where the title of this track came from. Makes sense when you listen to it again - very dark...

Yes - apparently it's a slightly different mix of the album too.

For those who haven't studied the Amazon tracklist, here are the immediate differences:
Different running order;
Three new tracks: Wave-Length, Dilation of Time and Lifecycle;
Doesn't include the track Disparity in Oscillations Ab (unless it's been renamed to one of the above)

Hmmm... this version going to be on digital, wouldn't mind buying the 2 or 3 new tracks...

Cool, you can buy the 4 new tracks on FSOLDigital as a separate download - that's some smart thinking right there :)

Great track,
well... it seems like it's not only the 4 new tracks,
comparing them seems like only 2 tracks are identical on both releases :) - everything else is re-edited and in a different place...

great stuff as usual, if they keep this pace up and get the AA album out by end of the year, it will be one of the best years for FSOL fans since the '07-08 deluge :)

Environments 6 is definitely coming this year so that makes three 'proper' albums this year (much as I like the 2007 side-projects, they felt very much like experiments rather than stand-alone albums), which is impressive. AA I imagine will be around at the start of next year.

Looks like 2007 all over again! So the impression I get from Mr. Panda there is I'm going to have to get myself the vinyl version in its entirety as it's all a little bit different right? I'm such a sucker! I do like the original album, but have had to make a mental note not to listen to it at the end of a tough day at work, it's capable of really fucking the head up...

I'm presuming the vinyl version will just have shorter edits, in order to fit on the vinyl? I haven't properly compared track lengths, but the few I did notice on the new version looked quite a bit shorter than the CD version. Might still be interesting to hear the vinyl version though (also curious whether the tracks segue) but I can't quite justify paying for the download of this new version, on top of already having bought the CD. I'll get the 4 bonus tracks separately though, should make a nice EP :)
