Wow indeed.
Back on topic, does the silverback sound any different than early release?
I have it but have not opened it up yet. That's my treat for later.

You mean pretentious? yes, I said that for a reason.. because i'm sure that is about as far as it got for McCartney. He took one day with each of these songs randomly picked out words from poetry and connected them with a few of his own words. and McCartney loves talking about birds..


The end

yeah, try to avoid the static noise of stalkers on here...

-- anyway The sound isn't any different, but all the mp3's that were flying around didn't meet the true quality requirments this album deserves. However, I just read that there is a 7 song bonus disk that is with the deluxe version. Hopefully that will surface soon.

True be to that. I realised that the momment I read his first post.

Now back on topic.....This album is a great xmas present for fans of the Beatles or killing Joke who have never heard of The Fireman. I've already bought two of them so far.

Sdldawn said:

Wow.....now you're down to editing a one sentence post? You're an extrordinary human being my friend.

Sdldawn said:

Any details?
I haven't see any info on this.

Bfunkthe1 said:

Sure, Here it is. www.thefiremanmusic.com

7 track CD containing bonus mixes and alternate versions


excited

Thanks.

This is cool news although I wish they would release this in 5.1 surround sound. This album begs to be heard in 5.1. So many textures which 5.1 would expose to dramatic effect. If done correctly.

Bfunkthe1 said:

I completely agree. The textures are lush on this album. I even dig the bonus minute of sounds with paul talking backwards.

I hope he ventures back to a form like this one more time..

Bfunk, If I get the bonus disk i'll get it to you. Are you a Member of What?

I could possibly get you an invite if your interested.

Sdldawn said:

Would be nice.
Thanks.

I haven't heard an album it quite awhile that moves me like this.
Only complaint is Paul sounds so sad or melancholy vocally. He's 66/67, wow!
I'm happy he is still making quality, forward looking music. But, as far as I'm concerned, he's just doing what he always has.

What is your favorites?

Sdldawn said:

Albums?
Most of his 70's stuff. I really like Back to the Egg for some reason. And I like McCartney II. I know most do not. Oh well.
Not a big of 80's stuff or early 90's.
But Chaos, MAF and now EA are top notch.
EA being my absolute favorite. It seriously takes you on journey from start to finish. Good albums do that. IMO

Bfunkthe1 said:

Choas is one of my favorites. and RAM

What about on this album?

Sdldawn said:

On EA?

Bfunkthe1 said:

yeah

Sdldawn said:

This is from an earlier post. Still holds true.
Two Magpies: an instant classic.
Traveling Light: great ethereal stuff.
Highway: a nod to classic Beatles songs like Drive My Car and Taxman.
Lifelong Passion: As close to a Sting or Peter Gabriel type song than I've ever heard Macca do.
And pretty much the last 3 tracks as they represent the experimental instrumental stuff I like.
Great way to end the album. Feels like you've taken a journey. And a peaceful one at that.
I'll add Is this Love also.

I'm hungry for that bonus disk.. It will be the new year before it will surface though.

If anyone hasn't heard the album "Rushes" by Paul's fireman series.. I highly recommend it. You don't hear vocals hardly, but it's experimental perfection.
