"let me live again" definitely sounds like it could've come right from Happiness or Clumsy (except the lyrics), and I'm so glad raine decided to go old school for that one...

I’ve been thinking the same thing the past week. With older production values it could have gone on either of those two ...

Albums:

1: Spiritual Machines
2: Happiness Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch
3: Clumsy
4: Naveed
5: Somethingness
6: Curve
7: Gravity
8: Burn Burn
9: Healthy In Paranoid Times

Somethingness:

1: Ballad of a Poet
2: Missing Pieces
3: Let Me Live Again
4: Hiding Place for Hearts
5: Drop Me In The ...

I would say my Atlanta recording, or the House of Blues show that was on Yahoo the night before are the two best versions out there. Josh may have an adequate live stream version though.

Yeah yours is a great recording. It’s so good I feel like I’ve heard the song when I wasn’t there and it hasn ...

After a few listens, the most improved song for me is Missing Pieces. I’ve gone from liking it to loving it. I love its stop start unconventional structure, especially when around 1:15 instead of building up, it builds down into Raine mumbling. Took me a few listens to configure myself into its ...

Now we know this hasn’t made it onto Somethingness- is there a ‘best’ version of this out there?

I know Live at the Loft is a great live version. On some of the Facebook streams I think they aired the studio version in almost its entirety though sound quality will be poorer.

Initial thoughts:

It’s so much better as a whole piece, rather than in Volumes.

I like Heads Up as an introduction, works as a catchy way to get you in to the album. Raine sounds real good on this. Doesn’t feel new but it feels like solid well rounded OLP. I can only imagine it sounds punchy in a ...

I’ve had no sign of anything come up on my Pledge. I’m currently on vacation in Spain, Europe and in just over 7 hours time it hits midnight and turns the 23rd, so either way not long to go.

Sounds interesting. I hope it builds up into something though otherwise it’s a nice song that doesn’t go anywhere.

I messaged Raine on Twitter on the 10th and he said 3 weeks to upload onto streaming services from the following Monday, so Monday 5th of February. However he did also say snippets of songs were coming to Pledgers the following week which hasn't happened.

I've listened to Somethingness Vol 1 ...

Hiding Place for Hearts sounded terrific on the Facebook stream they did as that was with very poor audio quality. I can't wait to hear the studio version with some decent headphones on!

todddowney wrote:Yeah, I assumed the completed project would be available by then. I hope they just throw The Fix on the second one..with so few songs, it would be nice.

If you'd like to listen now, I'll be happy to shoot em' over to you.

What's your first impression of what you've heard from EP1?

It's not on my Pledge yet either. If anyone has a link I would that would be greatly appreciated

Typing into Apple Music comes up with a title 'Somethingness - Single' which directs a page which links to the OLP artist section. It did this with DMITW so I think that's a song on the new EP.

It does come up with 'The Fix - Single' however that doesn't show any signs of OLP as it was a Nelly song ...

I initially wasn't going to order anything as I tend to stream my music nowadays rather than anything else however the lure of getting my name in a OLP album was too great, so I relented.

Now I've got DMITW in full audio quality I can say it's rather enjoyable. Certainly the production side has ...

Thanks for the upload, Smooke!

I managed to listen to an online version (I'm on holiday with no ripping ability) but it has such a chunky, meaty sound texture to it. As the first cut of what is to come, hopefully it's a brilliant indication of what's to come!

I'm as guilty as anyone when I know there's a date for a release and then there's a chance to hear it before then! So if anyone gets a chance to grab and up, many thanks would be sent your way!

PS: Got good vibes about these two (2!!!) new LPs!!

Oh DG, I agree re: that version of Innocent. Such a beautiful version of the song.

Downloaded the album last night. As with most OLP/Raine stuff I fell in love with it pretty quickly! Big criticism of it is just about it's brevity. It needs a couple more tracks to feel more like a complete album.

As I downloaded it, I have no album sleeve. The last solo album used a drumming ...

I like all the album even AFAYC. The first 3 off Curve still get me - I love Allowance>AFITH>Heavyweight. Brilliant way to start the record.

I love Rabbits but I did pretty early on. The weird one is Will Someday Change - thought it was the weakest one off the record at first, now I love it! I like ...

here is the full album in preview! But i'm not able to listen here in Italy...probably is limited for US and Canada...can someone that is on the other side of the world rip and share this? Thanks in advance to all!

Same here, think ...
