Ballacid uploaded some tracks.

Long live Rephlex, and thank you Gianluigi...

by the way, there is no dole in Italy... "at all", unfortunately.

Album delivered this morning, listening now, and it's absolutely wonderful.

pfffiuw can't wait to listen to this

this is breathtakingly beautiful

*sound of heart exploding*

Lovely !

I'm happy I bought it after listening to the previews at Juno. Which other BW's records would you recommend ?

For unknown reason I never dug into his discography.

You'll be best off getting his 2CD compilation from Rephlex (2008), if that's still available. It compiles most of his work he released on Rephlex so far. Besides that, Kissing A Robot Goodbye and Program 11 are my favorite non-Rephlex releases.

Just ordered this one + D'arcangelo and some more EOD from Norman (my #1 Rephlex mailorder), I must say this BW sounds a little bit underwhelming compared to older stuff (I must be the only one here), and only 30 minutes... Let's just wait till I got the album.

Love Laurel Canyon - sounds very cinematic and emotional, excellent.

brilliant! i can think of other short albums that left me feeling this way. i'm still very hungry plees; u r a lovely tease gianluigi

well obviously you have to get Robotic Operating Buddy, obviously.

Found a not too expensive copy on Discogs, thanks for the tip !

I really can't figure out why I haven't listened to BW yet (while I've been exploring Rephlex's catalogue since 2001 or so). Anyway, never too late !

favourite track? Heart2Heart is a standout track for me. The lushest of them all.

arrived this morning from across the pond, staring out the window to this is nice. glad i bought it.

Suddenly Spring is the standout track for me, Laurel Canyon is a close second.

Hate to say it though, but I sort of agree with Herr Jan, the other tracks sound a bit underwhelming to me compared to his older stuff. There hardly was a weaker track amongst his older music, and while this all sounds very well produced (slick even, not sure I like it to be honest), the melodies seem a bit weaker (even though they might be more complex, that doesn't necessarily make them better at all). What I always liked about BW is his seemingly 'less is more' approach, it's a bit harder to find in this album, it focuses too much on the 'omg lush old synth sounds!' in my opinion.

Maybe I will change my mind later though lol

My expectations were probably set a bit too high as well. I'm afraid I'm getting old, I don't like new electronic music anymore

Yes.

how do people have this already??

Not really my cup of tea from what I've heard.

Glad to see BW getting some recognition though.

ooh that's just the review i wanna hear - makes me happy

got mine from amazon.co.uk today. The Garden (And The Chateau) and Laurel Canyon are nice, the rest is pretty meh.

what about suddenly spring, rc4?

Gauloise Scented on repeat forever

this record ends too quickly.... I hope we don't have to wait another 4 or 5 years for new bochum welt material.

Really bad weather outside, sitting here nice and warm with a cup of coffee and the new BW on a good system and it's better then I expected after those couple of youtube vids. Context y'all...
