Mixed feelings. That's an awfully big mountain to stand on. I'm glad they are seeking outside guidance with a proven producer. Excited for things to come!

I don't often post here as I don't usually have much to offer, ha, but I am SO EXCITED for this. Spiritual Machines is my favourite album of all time, and while I'll try to keep my expectations to a minimum, I really enjoyed Somethingness.

Does anyone know if it's available to people in UK? I'm on my phone and could only see prices listed in USD or CAD. Also think timewise it'll be like 2am or something over here when it's on - anyone know if they record the stream on there for people to watch at a later date?

I have so many questions about this. So Side A would that be as if it were the record and only play the first 5-6 songs? Or is Side A considered the whole album of the original?

Also SM II is very strange when you think that SM came about due to Mike Turner reading the book and talking about it constantly to the other guys. Mike was a huge part of that album and why that album is essentially what it is. Doing an album called SM II without Mike is very, very odd to me.

If they played the full album I would be in. $15 for a few songs and a couple of clips isn't really my cup of tea. I get that it supports the band and all but still.

Raine had mentioned he still talks to Mike a few months back when we were on the Summersault live chat. Glad they are on good terms.
