Funny you said that, I made my own Drift playlist and Universe Of Can When Back opens it. I can't wait for when this is out and can make my own Drift album... well maybe double album.

There are several versions of the tracks that are unique to the Sampler Edition, though most of them are likely just minor tweaks or edits, with the Rebel Tech version being the most dramatically different.

Unlike the box set, the digital Series 1 does not include the Sampler Edition, so yes, if you want those unique tracks, you'll have to buy them separately. Though you'll be able to buy just the individual unique tracks you want and not all of them necessarily.

Same here, that track is definitely a winner for opener (and UW originally thought so as well with the first digital EP release version).

I'm still hoping all the new tracks compile into a full album that flows well. The 10 new tracks without the new Necks collab (which is 31 minutes and probably best as part of that disc) comes out to about 68 minutes which is prime UW album territory for me.

We’re definitely going to need a separate thread just for all the fan compilations. I intend to make some artwork for mine and maybe even segue some tracks together. Also want to give it a name along the lines of LOVE SPACE etc.

Yes. A link to a radio broadcast of it was posted in the S T A R thread a few days ago.

Thanks!

Is the Digital edition in the official shop just the Sampler Edition? It seems somewhat unclear but given the description and the price I'm assuming Sampler. But if anyone knows...
