Plaid: Announcing a new album 'Reachy Prints', listen to 'Hawkmoth' ahead of release in May

I wish I could have those 24-bit lossless files... now bleep gives mp3 instead of flac with vinyl orders

Downloading 24bit lossless. Have not heard any previews. High expectations...

It will meet your expectations. Excellent album.

New music vid. for wallet. It's like they asked a synesthete what he saw when listening.

I wanted to wait for the album to ship, but couldn't help but grab the files when I saw the email from bleep this morning. After the first listen I am very happy. Nothing compares to plaid melodies, they have always been on another level from my perspective. Not for three's is probably my favorite electronic album of all time, and tracks like oh & wallet are just what I want to hear. The rest of the album sounds great but I'll really need some time to absorb it all, even if it's only forty minutes worth.

OH is such a melancholic and beautiful track ♥

Vinyl sounds fuckin noice, Wallet

I'm ready to hear the studio version of Away.

I think 'Reachy Prints' is a much more satisfying album than TH. There are no fillers.

I'm really surprised to be saying this because I'm more of a Boards fan than Plaid. I never thought Plaid could ever recapture so much of what always made them great. Just an amazing album.

Nice avatar fumi.

heard a snippet on the japanese itunes. Sounds like it could easily be one of the standouts of the album. Wish they would let me buy it (japanese account only, damnit)

I reckon they *could* be OK if they just ditched the scoring system. The review for this, although not particularly in depth -(and the final paragraph is nonsensical) certainly gives a good idea of the sound (or what I've heard of it so far), but it's like the number they've stuck at the top is completely arbitrary. Ditch the random number and it's alright.

That was a more half-hearted and lacking review than their usual which are lacking to begin with...
