The artwork for Black Poppies is even better. aphasein - I think I'll use your album cover too! Don't get me wrong, I am excited for a new UW album for sure... I just don't know how I feel about this one - guess I will have to wait until October 25th to find out. I do hope some of these smaller tracks are blended into other tracks on the album.
Slightly baffled by this negativity. I mean yeah, the cover's not a classic. Lots of short tracks and the phrase "Please don't shuffle" suggests to me that we're probably going to be looking at four side-long suites. Two of the tracks we've heard from the album so far are beatless, two solid techno tracks, so it looks like it'll have a good range of styles. The tracks heard live are promising. So... yeah, I'm optimistic this will be, at the very least, an interesting album.
