An instrumental of Dark Starr is a must....Marks' rant gets a bit irritating after three or four times.
Noticed the 6 track 192k version has gone now and is replaced by the continuous version (who actually wants that?) and 4 separate 320k versions......why wasnt the 6 track version at 320k?
Will there be .FLAC versions by the end of the week?
I may be a cynic but there will be no double dipping from me unless a CD is made available.

What a piece of shit website! Obviously put together by a bunch of fucking amateurs.
Emailed them yesterday but still no reply.
I would STRONGLY advise no one else to order through this website!
this is coming from your vast experience setting up a website to work across the world, accept credit cards securely, transfer files... etc.
Freebass is a side project, put together by a bunch of friends, working out a new website that they put together and are ill experienced in, but have been friendly and trying to work through the kinks...
So in short, fuck off
Ok,sorted & downloaded.....verdict?....apart from the Tim Burgess track,quite underwhelmed & not too impressed.Love hearing Hookys' bass as usual,but songwise?....very ordinary,just like BL :\ohwell:

Think they should get those unseen Ian's lyrics from Touching from a distance book and then add New Order music on it instead. 
well i've always thought it was a little bit different, a bit more experimental.
have you actually heard the pete wylie or the howard, i think dull or underwhelming is one of the epithets that seriously could not be levied at them.
the tim is quite a straight track in an no / jd way. Which is pretty obvious.
Just keep it clean btw.
Problem fixed now (thanks Chad) and liking what I've heard so far.
BTW although the download issues were a bit crap you can't knock the guys looking after this for helping and quick responses - hopefully all these quirks will be fixed for the next release!
Chad has been very eager to work out people's problems so he deserves respect there. Maybe the Shop itself could have undergone a few more stress tests before going public but on the plus side, fans voiced concerns about 192 quality and they listened upgrading to 320 pretty quickly so can't say fairer than that.
As for the EP itself I'm really enjoying the first half. The Burgess track is great and Hooky's bass nicely pays homage to Ceremony eventually seguing into a trademark new melody towards the end. The Milky Way with Wylie is probably my favourite of the lot, just a great tune with a strong vocal. Dark Starr I suspect is the one people will either love or hate and confess I did find 7 minutes of Marks a bit grating; obviously the more leftfield/experimental one.
Live Tomorrow You Go Down reminds me a bit of See-Saw from Monaco's second album which must admit was never really a favourite... might grow on me. Electro bordering on disco-tastic it's a change of pace from the rest of the guitar driven tracks.
Overall and based on one weekend's listen I'd give the EP 7 or 8 out of 10. A mixed bag depending on your tastes but the first two tracks are very strong and heighten expectation for the album. Although they have their own sound, You Don't Know is clearly the most New Order-y of the lot and should be a popular one round these parts.
I just want to voice my support of Chad, who has been responsive and helpful through the whole process. He's a nice bloke who really cares and listens to everyone's concerns. Certainly despite the hiccups, this is better than dealing with a record label.
Very interested in the album now, thats for sure!

Hi JJ
We've still not received an email and I can't find you in the system. If you'd like us to resolve this please get in touch.
Best Chad
Thanks to everyone for their support. I've just read these. I'm choked.
You guys are right its been a really difficult launch. We take most of the criticism on the chin. We should have put 192kbs up and we should have launched with more testing and we are learning as we go, its a bit like the blue paint on the opening night, but after all this time Hooky wanted it released and we stand by that.
We are not yet doing physical but its under consideration.
We hope everyone has their purchase and we hope you love it, like we do.
Please get in touch if anyone has further issues.
Best Chad
Physical release would be nice and 192 bits is still a bit minimal; I think it should be closer to 320 if there's no physical release.
Here's hoping the album is physical..?
You Don't Know (This About Me), thought it was Ceremony cause of its introduction 
Top track indeed 
I ordered the tracks and they charged me for them. They do not show up under files. I emailed the web site and they told me to look under files. There is something wrong with the website. As in they take my money but don't give me mp3's !!!
Bought and downloaded without any problems from the Hacienda Records website.Don't think much of any of them early doors, only bought em because i had £3.95 owed to me on my visa card though i now owe the grand total of £0.01 on it after 99p per track = total £3.96
