For anyone interested, I just talked to Ray Hearne for almost an hour yesterday.

EARTHRISE IS SO GOOD
YES YES YES

I love whenever Haken uses entirely major chords, sounding so happy. Bound by Gravity is like that, but in a more beautiful way.

I don't see what's wrong with those who have heard the album discussing it. Given that there will likely be no more news or singles, it probably wouldn't hurt to just not check the thread for a couple more days.

I guess this is why people have made separate threads in the past, haha.

Yeah. Fair enough if it was a few days after release date, but it seems more sensible to wait until the official release to me. I'm not really that bothered about it though.

"To our incredibly supportive fans!
Over the past year, we've received an overwhelming amount of messages regarding the disappearance and unavailability of our first album Aquarius. Without going into too much of the boring details, we've spent the past few months working to resolve this issue and we're sure you'll all be happy to know that, in a few months time, Aquarius will be back! More details to follow...
Haken"

I don't get why people care so much about CDs in this day and age. Vinyls I can understand, but CDs only complicate things nowadays when you can fit thousands of albums in high-quality mp3 on a phone or something.  :justjen

1. album/cd art and booklets, yo
2. honestly a lot of the time it's hard to really feel like I "own" an album unless I can pop in the disc and listen to it

Yep. The other day I forgot whether I actually owned an album because it was digitally, it doesn't feel like it's part of my collection. It's just for the same reason people collect anything really, mostly for a sense of collection/completion.


I wish my copy had white sprinkles too, looks tasty

I don't really care about collection or things like that, I'm fine with having most music digitally. I just buy the stuff to do what I can to support the bands I like.

Like TesseracT's Polaris. Bought and payed for, but never showed up in the mail. I'm not even that upset about it, because I can still listen to the album whenever I want and I still supported the band.

I am looking forward to Aquarius coming back. Been hearing that album far too little since it went away from everywhere.

I'm more bothered that they're forcing an instrumental version of the album on us in the cd, I do not want this and will never listen to it more than once tbh

I too would prefer a sturdy jewel case with a single disc over a two-disc digipak. I'd even pay more for it.

I always like instrumental versions. Sure, they won't be listened to very often after a while, but it's still fun to have.

I was going to buy Aquarius on ITunes, but not available.  I even looked on ebay for a used one, but no luck last week.

I just feel like, hey, just give me a digital code for them if you really want to release it, don't drive up the price by adding a second disc  :lol

CDs also have the best sound quality, and I can't take FLAC's to-go, nor have a player to play them anyway, besides VLC player, but all my music is conveniently all organized in my iTunes folder as I use an iPod sometimes.

Haven't heard a note of H4KEN. When is the release date??

Who's forcing what now?

2-disc version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Affinity-Haken/dp/B01C3Z02B6/
Regular 1-disc version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Affinity-Haken/dp/B01C3Z042S/

Ah ok, but then again you pay $14 for the 2-disc which is the same price (around £10) as our 1-disc.

I'm in the opposite boat as a lot of people here. I'm interested in the instrumental version, but I ordered the vinyl and I'm assuming that isn't included? Not gonna buy it twice unless I really like it (which given Haken's batting average, is at least very likely).

FWIW, the vinyl comes with the single disc. Not really helpful if you don't want the vinyl, but that's what I did.

Yeah, not sure how often you do vinyl, but that is the norm now. It won't have a CD case or booklet or anything, but most new vinyl comes with a CD in a clear plastic sleeve.
