Extra, previously unreleased material on each disc too!

Can you buy the digital version of the 7 discs on its own or is it only available with the CD boxset?

I AM CONFUSION at the "sampler" that most of the free world will be hearing as their proper album.
edit: now that I've put it in a playlist, it mostly makes sense, yeah. still... nothing from EP 1 has me feeling weird.

give us the rest of those discs!

Looks like we’re getting a bunch of unreleased material. And, of course, the inevitable series 2 announcement. Superb!

according to iTunes,

appleshine gets a minute shaved off
drum street goes from 6 minutes to 4:25
listen to their no and border country are essentially the same
mile bush pride (the ONE I wanted to develop for a few more minutes!) gets cut down to 1:34, right as it gets into the alarm bit!
schiphol test gets cut almost in half
BYTWB gets its full 6 minutes back
the rest is as it was before

yeesh.

You just don't do a 50 minute riff off of this without thinking that this is the main flag of The Sound.

Probable, or at the very least wouldn't be surprised:
Custard Speedtalk
You really could retrofit this to be that nice 3rd track jam that breaks up the banger energy and gives us that full-view UW. Karl's lyrics really grate on me in places though but that's neither here or there...
This Must Be Drum Street
Played out live and i think it's quite liked, and requires tilting the head a bit to get it. that synth is just too out of place for me and i firmly believe that "do you wanna buy my car" is trying to evoke something out of nothing, but that's not stopped them before and I'll probably get used to both as essential to the thing.

Outside chance, but nah:
Border Country
I'm probably underhyping it for the sake of my argument above. this could be the Dino 3D near-end inclusion like khouri had, or it could be left off entirely.
Schipol Test

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

The announcement says "DRIFT Series 1 collects the entire body of work and will be made available digitally on the 1-year anniversary of the first release. The DRIFT Series 1 Sampler Edition comes out the same day."

So, I take that to mean the entire boxset will be available digitally, and I assume on streaming too, since streaming plays make up a big part of music revenue these days.

It looks like there will be quite a bit of material that is exclusive to the eariler Episode releases. For example, DUST was mostly mixed and edited together, and that is all changed in the boxset.

Another Silent Way / Drift Poem / Better Than Diamonds (previously unreleased) - I wonder if this is the "You and me, you and me, nothing's on track" version.

I'm a bit surprised that Dune didn't make the sampler/album, and I can't believe Imagine a Box is on there.
