i remember him saying remaster on blast radio and that it was something that's definitely on their list to do.

[Stan]

I hope they just boost the treble by 300%

[destiny]

if this was 2008, my dumb ass would definitely put from a beach on a speculative tracklist for mpp

lol that was my fb pic for a while (now deleted account). It should be in the image thread of the band, that's where I found it back then

['Worms']

they just put up an official upload of part of the music box village set:



Paper Forehead
Spider Bit My Lady
What’s On The Road? It’s Shining
Who Knows?
Trikid

[poop]

No defeat? Nup.

[Hellomark]

Hoping that PB Hearts being called Who Knows? means that song isn't dead!!

[Allatrobles]

LIVE AT THE MUSIC BOX IS PUT TODAY!!!!!!

[Hellomark]

Oh wait I just realized that Who Knows? is actually THE PATH, was just guessing from the tracklisting placement and hadn't actually watched the vid yet. Even better!

[opposite field]

Video looks incredible! Going to wait until I can watch it one sitting later but man this rules. Guessing that these songs won't end up on any upcoming stuff? Was surprised to see Prester John not included here.

[Tropic]

The path lives !!

[Tikwid]

I guess some songs aren't included because they'll be represented on upcoming studio releases, but my god we're gonna get so many amazing fan megamixes and playlists once Music Box/Skiffs/Skiffs2 are all out. Music Box Who Knows + studio Prester John fusion...just imagine

[Jam]

So obviously we’re getting studio PB Hearts

Also this recording rocks

[coral lord]

god the path is so good

[rampface]

Mr. Boom is the best

[roopn]

So much anticipation for this project, thanks rampface

[coral lord]

slow burn love songs by noah wowowowowwow yes

[hunkswithguns]

AMAZING. So much hype

[foxtrot]

Well this is pretty radical news

[scrambledgreggs]

so that basically confirms there's both PB x sonic collab AND new PB solo in the works?

[speen]

paper forehead / spider bit my lady / whats on the road had me reeling, felt like i was hearing an extremely hi-def 2002 recording

RESET

[awesome]

dope i wonder when it'll drop

[Tropic]

Sinister Grift Reset sick. Matrix Reloaded vibes

[lhtd]

the great reset

[dio]

Hitting up Tangerine Reef.... still a mysterious album to me which is a feat in itself...

but also wondering about how they chose to do a full audio-visual release for this compared to Music Box.... they were happening very closely to one another... almost like TR was warm-up for Music Box. Panda-less jam/improvy mode.

like I guess now we just need a part 2 of the Music Box shows for that to be complete but like... I think most would agree the musical material is a little more compelling than TR

Maybe thats it tho, like some was too good to capture in a primordial live state... TR puzzles the fuck out of me. I like it pretty good, but I feel like I should like it way more, on paper. Still, it and MotW was a good vibe-reset for the band post PW

[roopn]

I think It's tantamount to the brief that it's a challenging listen. Tangerine Reef is primordial mood music designed to be presented alongside the imagery of the coral life. Had they just made a pleasant 45 minute ambient album it wouldn't have sufficiently expressed an understanding of the weird, essentially alien life that exists in the depths. It's still of our world so there are songish elements to the music, but they are primitive and sometimes blurry - I think of the vocals in particular. Avey sings a lot on this album, but the vocals are fragile, not too upfront and effects are minimal. The lyrics are weird and random, dreamlike, almost generative. He's not singing to the audience, he's just singing. The coral does not exist for us, it just exists. We are in the lucky position of quiet witnesses

[foxtrot]

roopn, that was an amazing post

well said brother…this post also made me realize that for the handful of times i’ve listened, i’m not certain of a single lyric

also i would pay you to narrate my life for one day

[dio]

That's a sick way to see it roopn.

Vocals do have a frantic and almost breathless or like nearly wordless feeling. It doesn't let you completely chill with this record of bloopy ambience since it's about some thing super serious

Something I noticed this recent time are avey has what I think is the same effect thru out whole thing. Don't know if that ties in but it just seemed interesting

Thanks guys . Quiet new year's morning, light hangover and instant coffee led to some clarity of thought

[Stan]

Roopn, that's an awesome post, really loved that perspective and it works very well. Not one of my favourite AC records by a long way but I'll keep your lens in mind when I next listen.

[dio]

TR a weird one... on paper it should be exactly what AC fans who were tired of PW style Hyper-pop could have wanted (along w/ MotW)... but idk maybe it is decently liked, I definitely enjoy it but I dont find myself like coming back to individual tracks which seems odd

I was moving to Colorado the month it was released and wasn't checking on her so I dont even know what the reception here was at the time... maybe ill go dig around for the of thread.

[ingenue]

“I go to hair cutter
Third Friday monthly
Sometimes she rush it”

[dio]

o the thread is just on page 2... on the day it came out a lot of people were puzzled by low turn-out of discussers on the forum in general and the muted feeling of the release.

anyway idk, I gotta keep puzzling thru TR a lil before TS comes out... in said thread I say its clicking but I feel like there is still a deeper click to be had 3 years later....


also funny to see people asking about when the Music Box stuff will be released way back in '18... time flies... (or doesn't)
