Well, the 18kHz line and 16kHz shelf wouldn't be introduced from this specific lossy encode. It wasn't meant to be an official analysis of the final product, just a "huh, wonder why that is?" The web stream has an absolute ceiling of 16hHz. I wanted to see what was above it!
Listening to the Too Late, All Gone lyrics...
Stuck on static
Automatic
Turn off tragic
Mother magic
It reminded me of the "mother/magick" headline that mariqueen used to have on her twitter profile.
There wasn't a PDF last time, not with lyrics on anyway. From what I'm told, the Pitchfork arty stuff is quite simply the booklet from the CD.
Here's a thought on "Too Late, All Gone" - maybe that track was done and mixed down, and during the period between the album being 'finished' and the album being released, new elements were added to the mixed down version.
That would definitely fit the spectrograph!
*listens again*
so do we know now which HTDA album-track 'the bug' was talking about on this tweet?

I thought it might be "And The Sky Began to Scream" because it kinda sounds like what I imagine TR&AR/ The Bug to sound like
It's not. Because we have the liner notes for the CD, and The Bug isn't mentioned at all. It is possible he's not on the vinyl either, but for now we can only assume he must be on the bonus tracks.
His track might've just been cut. Sometimes collaborations just don't work out.
I didn't really care for the ep when it came out, but I guess it eventually grew on me because this album is fucking tits.
I had an exchange with The Bug's twitter about the collab.
Damn, that's a bummer. Thanks for helping clear things up, thelastdisciple!
Just a heads up to anyone else like me who may have order via Amazon, just got an email saying we won't see our vinyls until March 19th. BOOOOOOO.
Wheee. Kevin sure sounds fun to work with!
Kind of let down that 'sandro is listed just as himself, not as Sonoio or Blindoldfreak
Consider it paying extra to get your lossless/high quality MP3 download on the day, plus more $ to the band
I ordered the CD off of Amazon last night, having forgotten that you don't get the download... If I had remembered I would have given it more thought first but still would have gone with Amazon. With shipping it was $20 (USD) off of the HTDA site, $15.32 (CDN) from Amazon.ca (free shipping).
