Witness #2 Thursday?

With the release of the singles set on Friday 14th do you think it's safe to suggest that we will get a digital release mid-day Thursday (US)?

he might have better luck if he was drummin with his Dick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To add more fuel to the fire, The boot version that has been on YOUTUBE for ages has now been removed.... Exact same thing happened to the Cosmic Day boot a few days before it's release

i wasn't convinced they were gonna release another vault track so quickly after cosmic day, but if the youtube video got pulled then it may be a pretty safe bet

this is one of my most anticipated vault tracks and the best version of witness far and away. love love love this version.

Yeah, this is the version I'm really excited about. Particularly in perfect quality.

Yeah I dig it too, it reminds me of Me Touch Myself for some reason, maybe it’s the sparse drum machine/arrangement and frankly strange lyrics on both tracks!

Every time I hear the title "Me Touch Myself" I can only think of Cookie Monster entering puberty.

The track time has shown up on both Amazon and iTunes which is a strong indicator.

They have been on Qobuz since the official announcement.

They also have tracks details.

On first release Clare Fischer was credited for orchestra on Cosmic Day. That credit has now been removed.

Yeah, but they almost have to...don't they? I mean, when the singles set gets delivered, someone is bound to rip a digital copy from that vinyl. Then it'll be out anyway. At least by releasing it themselves, the estate can benefit.

I don't get why release that song, don't get why do you find so interesting that song.

I admittedly have never heard this track in its entirety, I'm excited that my first full playthrough will be in better quality

Version 2 is streaming now. It’s not what I expected after having only heard Version 1.

Love this. I like Version 1 better, but this is cool too.

I have a very old boot of this version that I haven't listened to in a very long time. I'm almost positive the vocals were Camille and it was faster or am I making things up here.

Yea it’s a tape speed issue with the boot. This is how it’s supposed to sound. Crazy to be able to listen to it without the tape hiss.

Me too, although admittedly the first version is catchier than this one.
