Well said. I 100% agree with you

listening to "I'm a big sister" these past three days has inspired me to revisit my old Orb records! Not too bad, this ambient music (provided it has a beat every now and again!)

It could be the longer track times or the sparse (in placed) arrangements, but i agree with BeautifulBurnout that the transitions are tops! Most seamless mixing of the three RiverRuns, i think.

Too bad the total time for the three releases comes to ~84 min...can't get it all on one CD ( i know, try overburning, right?). But even if i could, i'd not know how to order them..such different styles! Do you shuffle? Do you keep em chronologic?

Just curious, but those splitting programs produce gaps at track transitions, don't they?
If you have foobar2000 0.9.x or a newer Winamp or a DAP which supports gapless playback (my rockbox'ed iriver H120 does) you could also use this tool, that cuts mp3s perfectly. I'm not going to destroy that wonderful mixing with gaps.

As has been discussed before, cuesplitter for both mac and pcs will cut mp3s perfectly. I have studied the mp3 file and have made minor adjustments to the CUE provided here and will publish it soon (Adobe Audition crashed on me! )

Who like that quicktime video?

I have now listened to this about 6 times since d/l.

The ambience is brilliant. It's a wonderful journey and I definitely intend to take this trip a few more times this week.

This was definetely a treat to my ears. The last 2 releases, although great, and good, did not have have this kind of impression on me.

There's no feeling like the feeling of goose bumps while listening to music.

R&K - bravo!

[the real stuff]

After about 8 listens, I agree, this really has moved me more than the previous riverruns.

Peach Tree is just epic, especially on repeated listens. There's a lot going on here that totally transports me. I love it

This is also the first riverrun where I've hesitated slicing it up into individual tracks. I think I'm going to keep this one whole.

Sounds like Shpongle. (By which I mean brilliant).

I think i probably come over as i'm not a big underworld fan as many of the things i post are negative, but its not so!

I do own 20+ underworld cd's, majority of which i appreciate, but i just feel that time on the riverrun project should be spent on crafting the new album which i have high hopes for. Maybe its a case that the current releases have never fit my mood, as i think with most ambient music you have to particulary be in that "zone". Months down the line i may love the new release, who knows!?

I want the new album to be very much upbeat, ala 2 months off style, to make me happy!

everyone is enjoying this before me as I'm in NZ at the moment. I cry.
