bickster Posted April 5, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2020 Absolutely made up to have found this, I'd forgotten I had a physical copy. There's a back stroy to this album. Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse collaborate with a host of others to make this brilliant album. Then there's delays at the record company and arguments and all that nonsense, the album looks like it's never going to get a release. Danger Mouse just goes F*** IT! and releases the tracks on to the internet and the internet goes crazy over it It's a f***ing awesom album and I thought I'dlost my MP3 copy of it. But I had it on CD and forgot about it. In fact I've never opened it until today @chrisp65(there's a Gryff Rhys track and a Flaming Lips Track - See below) Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse present... Dark Night of the Soul. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, it’s looking like The Eggs could be No 2 in the physical album charts this week. Which is interesting in that I think I recall they’ve mentioned several times they’ve parcelled up and posted out 1,000 copies all from their local post office. So that suggests, by some very crude logic, 1,000 sales gets you a No 2 spot in ‘the charts’. Secondly, you’d never catch me buying anything quite so mainstream and populist. Ran out of Little Mix did they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran out of Little Mix did they? I saw they tweeted that. I wonder whether those 1000 odd even counted - I mean there were also Amazon and record store pre-orders, CDs, downloads and whatnot. I reckon the 1000 or so Vinyl will hardly make a dent in the figure overall. You're just jealous 'cus I've got a copy and you haven't yet . They're doing a listening party tonight, though if it goes like the release thingy they did Friday on the youtube, it might be a bit bumpy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is almost certainly the truth. In fact I have a vague recollection of us discussing it at a gig and me going home and downloading it straight away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 So far, this morning has been a mixture of these. The mystery jets album starts very well but then dips a little in the middle - only had it on a few times so hopefully gets better with more plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
