Cheers Epitome! Hopefully will be here soon.

^^ You're welcome, I hope you receive it soon.

Even though I do have it, I'm not getting enough time to listen to it. I've listened to it twice and, annoyingly, the second time I listened to it I kept being interrupted by other things, so it wasn't a very enjoyable listen anyway. Life getting in the way...

just wait til you have a kid epitome

Yep, ditto the above sentiment. I received it on Monday and have only had a chance to listen a few times on a crowded commuter bus!

It's taking a while to get my head around it. Love the nod and wink to the listener with the Lifeforms samples followed by "What the fuck was that?" Bizarrely the bonus tracks are more accessible to me at the moment as the main album seems quite different.

Had a bit of a giggle at that too

Wonder if it's a precursor for things to come given the 20th anniversary talk earlier in the year?

Ha yes, that makes me laugh too.
Funny enough I can't get into the bonus tracks at all...

It's interesting how everyone is going on about the last one. The second bonus track is my fave.

My kid arrives in November, so let's hope the album is here before that! Lifeforms.

Point Of Departure is fucking mega. Great way to start the album. Very strong ending as well. The stuff in the middle didn't sink in too much on first listen but I haven't had chance to give it a focused listen.

On Monday I'm doing a special episode of the radio show recapping the whole Environments series, although you guys probably don't need to listen as you'll know it inside out.

No kids for me. More CDs instead.

Let us know nearer the time, always interested in hearing others' perspectives on it!

Nothing in the post again today. :/

Update on the vinyl:

Apologies everyone but the vinyl has been a bit delayed. The pressing is being finished as I type and we have now been told that it will be delivered on Monday, at which point we'll get it out to you as quickly as possible.

Apologies also for not updating earlier but we've had two delivery dates that have been broken so I've just been trying to get some solid answers. I will update when we have them in our hands.

hi graham, thanks for the update.
how about issuing digital download codes to all of those that pre-ordered the vinyl to save rubbing salt in the wait?
any idea when the cds are shipping? still waiting for mine and the posties already been today
