DRIFT Series 1 - New album, Nov 1, 2019

[34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j]

I like Molehill & Hundred Weight Hammer so it sounds good to me


"A Moth at the Door" is a new track. Maybe a prequel to "Holding the Moth" ??

[34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j]

Also worth mentioning that "A Very Silent Way" is not on EP1 anymore which suggests there will be one disc of Necks collabs (and we probably already know what 47 minutes of it is gonna be)


seems like the boys did not know where this was all going to lead which might explain why the first 2 EPs are reconfigured somewhat.


just to speculate a bit, I'm guessing that "Appleshiner" might be the coda bit from the original track. on the sampler Appleshine is cut by about a minute which I would imagine is that part. I would also guess that several of the 'unreleased tracks' are not really entirely new pieces but rather riffs or original versions of other tracks. of course in Underworld terms this could mean they're basically new tracks (how many versions of "Dark & Long", "Pearls Girl", and "Always Loved a Film" are there?)

[holden]

Really excited for this expanded boxset, especially the extras and perhaps some reconfigurations of tracks. The Sampler album has ehat we'd expected ( LTTN, Border) and a few surprises or head scratchers (edits, Mile High Bush and Imagine a Box seem incomplete, though maybe they get reworked; BYTWB is not my favorite of the ambient/wordless tracks from Drift; STAR is fun, but features recycled sounds...maybe all Drift tracks are built of bits abandoned or reused over the years, but this one blatantly so). But I trust the boys that the Sampler is how they want to represent themselves to casual fans and am quite grateful for the expanded EPs, Blu-ray and book.

Yes, that would make sense of what the seventh disc will be (I was really hoping CD7 would be the Manchester Sound Poem soundtrack, but sadly not) - also the only way to get Continuum on it without cutting it down. I'm glad BYTWB is there in full this time. I'd imagine A Moth at the Door will be one of the bonuses on CD4 or 5, much like Do Breakers Trip is. I wonder if we'll get the original version of Soniamode on there somewhere. CD2 on the Japanese version is a really bizarre run of songs.


The 'sampler' edition (interesting phrasing - they seem to be less inclined to call this a proper album now) seems to be weighted very much more towards the later episodes:
Appleshine (EP2)
This Must Be Drum Street (EP3)
Listen To Their No (EP4)
Border Country (EP4)
Mile Bush Pride (EP5)
Schiphol Test (EP4)
Brilliant Yes That Would Be (EP1)
S T A R (Rebel Tech) (EP5)
Imagine A Box (EP5)
Custard Speedtalk (EP3)

The Japanese bonus disc is similar:
Low Between Zebras (EP1)
Toluca Stars (EP5)
Doris (EP4)
A Moth At The Door (???)
Dune (EP3)
Hundred Weight Hammer (EP4)
Do Breakers Trip (EP3 Bonus)
Molehill (EP2)

The album itself is 57:23... longer than the last two but still on the short end, given the amount of material they have available.

to me, the sampler edition is an album.

what else would it be.

at least thats what i'm considering it.


nice to see a drift 2 coming later on.

Does anyone know if the "boxset" edition will be available digitally at all? I pre-ordered the physical version of the sampler, but I just can't swing 60gbp (plus shipping to the states) for the physical boxset.
iTunes already shows a pre-order for the digital version of the sampler, but that's it.

Anyone get an email saying the box set is delayed? I did.

[dubman]

Yeah I did too. Nov 1

"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."
