More new album news

Debaser wrote: Well, moving on from my Gillian 'fantasies', let's try something a little bit more likely: The Japanese Bonus Track.

Tower Records (which still exists as some sort of Franchise in Ireland and in Japan) have got a listing for Music Complete: HERE. The album is due for release on the 23rd rather than the 25th of September.

Track 12 is listed as : *曲目未定 (日本盤ボーナス・トラック) Which Google translate tells me means: *Track To Be Determined (Japan edition bonus track)

Same thing on HMV Japan

So um, y'know watch this space, completists.

Remember this? Now click the Tower Records link above. It now lists the Japanese bonus track as "Restless - Extended Bonus Mix". So the bad news is that it isn't a new track that we can get excited about. The good news is that we don't have to fork out lots of dosh and then wait for the Japanese version to arrive. Those of us who will simply buy the CD (or download, or non-box-set vinyl) can just go and get it on the day of release.

Steve Morris will be a guest on Guy Garvey's show on BBC 6Music tomorrow (Sunday) 5th September at 2pm.Not a big fan of the show but just happened to hear a trailer for it.

"The written word, the lyric - Once again 6 Music celebrates our love for Libraries and explore the deep connection between music and literature.This Sunday afternoon from 2, Guy Garvey marks his return to 6 Music, with his first live outside broadcast for the network from the iconic Manchester Central library.He welcomes Philip Selway from Radiohead and Stephen Morris from New Order as they present a very special drum kit to the library .Guy is also joined by Jim James of My Morning Jacket and has live music from The Heartless B's.Plus there'll be lovely Sunday music and story-telling from the our favourite Elbow song-smith."

I believe it was not posted here before, but on wikipedia you can check tracks duration (it's accordant with iTunes data).

Seems like we can expext very progressive record.

I guess this would have been more exciting if it was actually taking place before the album release date...

With regards to digital downloads, according to Mute, if you have ordered the deluxe box set, you will receive a link via email to download the standard album tracks, as both mp3 and HD audio, on the day of release.

The official store also states "HD and MP3 digital files of the Extended Versions will be available when the box is dispatched." although I was told that the download code will be included in the box itself.

Either way, the downloads of the extended versions will not be available on 25th September it seems.

Hope some people from this forum will submit some good questions for the Q&A.

Does anybody know why they haven't even put the 30 sec clips on amazon or any other MP3 site yet, usually they have it for all the albums, it would be great to at least hear a preview of the songs.

I don't know.Mute being mean i guess.Under two weeks til release now and i stil haven't heard anything other than Restless and the trailer clips.I'm hoping to hold out hearing it til release day actually.Will be good to have first listen when i have the actual cd.I think The Guardian will stream it a week or few days before though.Well, i mean i don't have any inside info that they will but they do with lots and lots of album releases so there's a good chance i'd say.That's if Mute will let them of course.

Yes, I have listened to the album and it is wit a watermarked link that expires after a day.

My review for lineofbestfit should be up next week.

I cannot believe the lead single is Restless. It's an alright song, but Academic would have announced things more fully.
