Post by: Anna Woman von NRW on February 04, 2016, 03:48:43 PM
So we knew at christmas it had been recorded. Now we know it's been mixed. Kinda begs two questions: Who's mixed it and when's it out  :P  :-*

Sounds good to me. I'm allowed to legally drive again after the "incident" on August 8th, so it and Killing Jokes Pylon will be on my car system at 11 on a 10 scale!  :)

Excellent news - and something for ya to look forward too  :-*

wonder where the tour will end up wandering to, but also how many tracks would a double vinyl album usually have on it?

Ain't it nice how news of a new NMA album can still make you a bit excited than it is reasonable for a middle aged woman to be  ;D

Great! Sounds a little bit enigmatic but I like the period between the cup and the lip. What would be the vibe, the sound, the artwork, the whole ambiance of the upcoming set of the new songs? I like that feeling sometimes even more than the new record itself .... The autumn tour in the mainland od Europe .... Germany / Poland, I do hope  ;)

It sure does.  I hope they sort a way to make available the ones that don't make the cut.  Perhaps as an ep, digitaL downloads (sorry to grate some teeth), or a partner mini album, a la Between Wine and Blood.

I just hate to think of tracks taken to this point of completion that get put away.

With you on that Marcin, I like wondering where the next project is going - what's on the agenda this time? What has NMA collectively created? As you say words, music, art all come together and courtesy of all the cumulative parts the beast arrives in all it's glory  8)

I just hate to think of tracks taken to this point of completion that get put away.

Maybe this what the "mechanics" of the release means, if there are enough completed tracks trying to be included on the album hopefully there will be cd single releases with unreleased tracks or whatever.  We been spoiled over the years with this sort of stuff, lost songs, B sides & abandoned tracks etc.

We can find versions of the 2 tracks where the lyrics have been posted, wonder if the album versions will be as we've heard or will they be taken in a different direction. Are they representative of the album overall or are we being thrown a red herring? No idea but I like wondering  ;D

One can only hope!  The BD3 ep was a nice surprise.  But hasn't really been anything since then, has there?  Extra material, I mean.  Except for The Beautiful Game, can't forget that.

Yes, I'd love to see that.  Although as compilations after a fashion they don't make "sense" in the same way as a regular album, I love the hidden gems that surface in these.

As much as I love the annual pre-Christmas gig in Cologne (and I hope that it's still on, it's unusual to NOT already have tickets for that) I am hoping for gigs in smaller venues I can make it to.  :)

If it's called Winter are they going to reprint the lone tree t shirt from years ago with the Chief Seattle web of life quote on the back. That was my favourite t-shirt ever!!

It is the album cover on the homepage. The single is a different cover - have a look in the shop there's a photo of it there. :)

Does the vinyl version come with a download code? I bet that art will look great on a 12" sleeve, but I also need a (legit) way of getting it on my phone for the commute...

Looking at the artwork Joolz has done for the album I think you may be right Pol.

Title: Re: New Album
Post by: Master Ray on June 08, 2016, 09:22:44 PM
Hmmm... the album is called 'Winter' and there is what looks like a raven on the cover... could it be that the new album is a big concept album all about 'Game Of Thrones'...  ???

Post by: Johnz on June 08, 2016, 11:16:09 PM
Oh I really like the artwork! Can't wait for the album.

From the description I get the feeling that the sound is heading in the direction of "Guessing" and "Angry Planet".

I for one really love the sound of BDAW but I'm glad that they're heading off in a different direction for this one.

Title: Re: New Album
Post by: Shush on June 09, 2016, 12:14:53 AM
Love the artwork. So glad Joolz is carrying on doing the artwork for NMA after so many years, must be one of the longest partnerships in music. I can only imagine Joolz was inspired to do the design after hearing the music which as Pol suggested may have a dark and haunting theme with such a stark image. If it is like  "Guessing" and "Angry Planet", then great. Personally I really don't mind either way. All NMA albums have their own unique sound and I am really looking forward to hearing the next chapter of the NMA story.

WOW, great track, really a mulitilayer one.
I liked TIAGD a lot, BDAW was a sort of "concept" album, very unique indeed - one of my fav. I liked the last album because it got more guitarworks on it....as I listen to the new track "Devil" BWAB did already opend up this  direction. My bithday is on the 25.08....maybe I´m lucky  ;)
