New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future (March 18, 2016)

Anyone know if the CD w/ book pack version ordered trough UW HQ website will include an available download on release day? I like the thought of the special edition, but DO NOT want to wait for it to get the states to hear the full album.

It'l probably be on Spotify either way.

I don't believe the book version does. At least, not at this point. If you look at some of the other format listings, they explicitly say that it includes an MP3 download, and lists the individual audio tracks as included with the package. But the book one does not. It may just be an oversight, but I wouldn't count on it including the downloads the way it's currently listed.

"Shining Future part 2" sampler appeared on Rhapsody this morning. I haven't seen an announcement elsewhere yet....Anyone else come across it?

Contains excerpts from "I Exhale", a nylon guitar number (Santiago Cuatro?) that morphs into a subtle blippy beats with a humming/chant underneath, and third track that has some comforting, echoed vocals, more acoustic guitar and a hypnotic synth pattern.

Overall, i'm pretty excited for this album. All the except tracks (save the first of pt 1 and "I Exhale") remind me very much of the mood of the RiverRun series.

Definitely Santiago Cuatro, with the guitar sounding very much like the radio show version.

Too funny...Rhapsody offers a 30 second sample of a sampler track! Reminds me of the radio show where UW played snippets of the new album (was it OWB?) that were seconds long, at best.

Full Shining Future pt 2 is 3:37. Listening on repeat on headphones, it's good!
Wonder why this made it to Rhapsody of all places without announcement?

(p.s. am i the only person left on earth with a Rhapsody account? It's not great, used to be better when you could purchase tracks, but now its essentially unlimited tracks on your device with monthly subscription).

It's quite possible. FYI - It's up on Spotify now here in the States. (Headphones on - pressing play) I'm sure this will make its way to Soundcloud very soon.

Yeah, agreed. I think it's just slowly rolling out across the platforms.

Here's the Spotify link:

So does this mean that we have now heard snippets of all seven tracks from the album?
I really like all of it though.
