It's a pretty amazing record... I'm anxiously awaiting my Amazon pre-ordered copy.  |

No Jerose, the album was on torrent sites as early as August 31st. I know sometimes purposefully leak their albums, but wasn't sure if that was the case here. |

| | | | No, in fact it was a very "un-purposeful" leak and we were bummed. Streaming it on Urban was our design, obviously.
This album was not cheap for me to make, and so I will be doing everything I can in my small way to make sure actual hard copies are in people's hands instead of lazy downloads from torrents. Plus, the torrent download is compromised sonically in a few ways, we found. PLUS, the mastered CD and vinyl sound ridiculous.

My first time hearing it was on Urban, besides when they released Midnight City as a download over the summer.
I keep forgetting to get on the pre-order list, but I'll definitely be picking up the album next week.

Great work!

| | | | Jerose, thank you!
Alec, that's just a Geddy jazz bass through a gang of pedals and I don't remember what, but the Eventide Space was involved.
Best,
JMJ
