Yes, I'm hoping it comes out on FSOLDigital before the 30th, as I'd love to get it direct from them, but I, sadly, don't think I could sit comfortably knowing copies are in the post from Amazon but not to me.

One thing you will almost certainly get, is an email from fsoldigital about a fortnight after E4 has appeared on their site (and you've bought it) advertising it's availability. An email as an item appears on the site would be a lot more useful.

Interestingly, Juno have this listed for an April 23rd release:

Bizarrely they have the record store day 10" listed as well. I say bizarrely because they also claim to have a two minute clip of Murmurations. If that is indeed off the new album they have taken a really rather major turn of direction, and I will indeed eat my own hat, coat and shoes...

Oh man.. tell that this isn't the case. Doesn't sound like FSOL or AA at all. Well, they're one the weirdest bands on the planet, so who knows what will come out of this..

Yeah, don't you worry Juno have got a little mixed up there. The track that's meant to be Murmurations is actually Gregory Porter's - 1960 What (Opolopo Kick Bass Rerub):

That's pretty funny. Part of me really wishes that was it, just to see the reaction it'd get.
Wait, no it doesn't.


I wonder how long until we get some clips on Juno.

I can see I'll be looking at their site regularly for clips. It seems like a repeat performance of last time, but without the YouTube clips (that one Brian put up a month ago doesn't really count). All we need is for Pete to switch off the server hosting the forum in about three weeks, just in time for us to not discuss the new release again.

It's about the time the billing goes through and the account bounces again - so you could be right !

Those track names sound pretty epic actually, can't wait for it! I need to stop checking their website and channels, when it comes to hearing news about them I always hear about it here first :)

Lol, Gaz tried to turn FSOL into a jazz band at one point, I Don't Give a Damn (About the Man) was actually considered for Environments 4 :P

There's some some obvious funk influences on Alice In Ultraland (well, Witchfinder is funky as hell!). Translations had some jazz vibes and the newest EBS-mixes have A LOT strange, jazzy, experimental stuff. Forest jazz 8-)

I reckon all those influences turn up on Amorphous and Yage. Oh, and that 'Jazz Mags' release which will probably never come out at this rate!

New BoC, dear me. What's it been, 6 years? I wouldn't be at all surprised if they don't do anything again.

You really think so? so new BoC was a false alarm eventually?


By the way, love jazzy FSOL, Amorphous or whatever else :)

My opinion on BoC is largely 'yawn' anyway, as times goes on it seems less likely. Whenever a new album is finished the hype would be so high that if I was them I'd be too scared to release it as it couldn't possibly live up to that. Unless they did a complete about-turn like Portishead.
