Have a little look over here maties: https://music.apple.com/nz/album/virus/1503491157 (and thank me later, no, just joking)
Whoa! A secretly-recorded and soon-to-be-released album! And a companion/sequel to Vector at that! Anyone else want to see them release a third album in the series, with a blue cover, to homage King Crimson's 80s output? What kind of V-title would it have...
The short snippet in that link for Prosthetic sounds pretty good, and now I am super-excited to hear new Haken! June seems so far away, though.
And I got the bandcamp notification earlier about The Architect - Jazzfinity version, which was pretty neat! I'll have to get it later.
I wonder if pre-orders will go up tomorrow when the single is released...
Breaking up a 16-minute song into six short tracks is super annoying, but great to see new music is coming our way very soon!
Eh, it doesn't bother me too much. A couple minutes in Audacity can fix that, and make it a proper 16:58 long single track. The total length of the album being 51:54 makes it a great follow-up to the (comparatively) short Vector, which was 45:42 (which, weirdly enough, both albums track times feature a difference of 3 when comparing the numbers in the minutes and seconds places). A total time of both albums being 97:36, a suitable double-album! Hopefully, for those Haken fans who were disappointed with Vector, they'll like this one. I enjoyed Vector for the most part, but I'll admit I haven't listened to it very much since its release, but with Virus coming out soon, I'll have to dive deep into it to prepare!
