Impressions of Zodion
this is the one thing people are waiting for with the ATUM failure now complete
"I don’t have the ability to make them available, but I’m listening to them for the first time right now. It sounds much more like a live band than Atum does. There’s a lot of acoustic instrumentation. Reminds me a bit of the If All Goes Wrong era, with a bit of the Teargarden psychedelia sprinkled in. The keyboards aren’t front and center, but provide texture. They are very organic sounding, very 60s/70s. Definitely live drums as well. Haven’t heard anything that sounds programmed yet. My first impression is very positive. I’m spinning mine now. So far it’s a “Lo-fi” affair for them. Much more of a live band in the room feel to everything. Lots of acoustic guitars so far. A lot of American Gothic energy so far. It’s been much more analog. Zope is an instrumental" |

What's the Zodion portion of the album? Zodion At Crystal Hall? WTF is that?

I honestly can’t tell which threads are taking the piss anymore.
This might be “it” for me. |

Sounds like a sub-Teargarden hellscape judging by the description.

You mean this bonus album is so amazing that no one cares enough to share it?

Well, the digital leaked a couple days ahead thanks to being ripped off streaming services in countries time zones ahead or a day ahead. Each volume showed up a day or so early. A lot of leaks come from Russia/Japan/Australia digital services that get it earlier, which is very low effort. To rip a physical product takes more effort. Also, reading recent news about folks who buy vinyl, half of these people that bought Atum on vinyl more than likely don't even have a record player to play it on.

Plus it's not just the vinyl you get in a record shop; it's the box set edition.
There's several factors in play: You need someone who bought the box set, who has the means to rip both sides of five 7" singles, has the inclination to do such a thing, who is connected to a fan community, and who is then willing to share it with that community. I reckon it'll likely come from someone who's on here. |

Good effort.
I feel like once the boxsets sell out SP should offer it for D/L or on a streaming platform. I'm sure most SP fans are not actually opposed to buying something if its actually worth listening to. |
