Present new album crowdfunding

[Udi Koomran]

The new album smokes. Our own Udi has done wonders with the sound in it.

Thank you for sharing Sir!

[thedunno]

The album indeed sounds nothing but great. Not nice and sweet great but more like a tornado going through a town great.

[Steve F.]

Is it Roger's voice in This Is Not The End part I ? Sounds like a message from the beyond.

Yes and Yes.

[Mr.Krautman]

I'm gonna jump on this one (if they press a CD)

You REALLY should ! And yes, it's available in CD format (Thank You Cunei/Steve)

And everything that was said about it before is true: this record is not just "good", it's amazing ! One of the best coming from Belgium, (with last year's Ogives album).

BELGIUM: 10 POINTS !

I'm expecting Mandaï Distr to ship it this week (apparently Olivier didn't have it in stock anymore)

You're welcome and very glad you enjoyed it so much. It was very gratifying to be able to get RT's final compositional works out into the world

message from Mandaï sent on 22/04/24

Hello,

You're getting this mail because you've pre-ordered Present's "this is
not the end" CD.

Sorry to announce a delay for the delivery of Present's latest album.

We're waiting for different releases by Cuneiform to be out of the
factory and reduce the shipping and custom fees - That's how we can keep
the prices low so far.

Unfortunately, a misprint occured in one of the forthcoming release and
our shipment has been delayed. It won't last too long but we can't give
a date yet: the new print is already in production and we'll get them
shipped as soon as possible.

Thanks for your understanding, we'll come back to you as soon as we'd
get the records ready to be sent to you.
Cheers,
The Mandaï Team

Given that I've ordered four other albums at the same time (not all Cuneiform), I'm still waiting for the rest of the oder (made early March) as well

This Is NOT The End is quite a monumental album. I wrote a review of it: https://pienemmatpurot.com/review-pr...-the-end-2024/

Sounds like a message from the beyond.

It probably is.

This is the one Present that comes the closest to my eternal fave - Le Poison - IMHO. Not because it appears immediately akin as sound or form or anything (it really doesn't) but due to its effect of overwhelming grandiosity in artistic conviction once you hear it as seasoned listener/follower. My previous post-Poison fave of Present was High Infidelity.

But this one numbs simple expectations. Sovereign norm. Magnificent!

High Infidelity is my number one Present album.

I love Tris and Certitudes

I think that you did fantastic job with High Infidelity. It one of the best sounding albums I have ever heard. I always test new hi-fi equipment purchases by listening to it.

Really ?
I need to revisit … long time

This is really something. Makes me realize how little I’ve heard. So much good music out there.

This is cool stuff. Not sure how I'm supposed to buy it, as it doesn't seem to be on bandcamp, as a download. Which is weird, because the last two are available there as downloads. This new one is on bandcamp, but only for sale as a physical CD there. Weird. Call it a win, for the physical purists, lol.

Weird; I don't think I've ever seen a Bandcamp release that didn't have a download option.

[Steve F.]

Yes, I have. It happens.

Saw one last year on bandcamp that was vinyl only.

Free Human Zoo's first two were BC releases (physical & downloads), but they have yet to put up their third one (out for roughly 13 months now). The guys at the merchendize desk at the SZ in late Febr/24 had no idea why it was that way. I didn't get a chance to ask the musos why, but cared less since I had just bought it before the show.

I sent the Very Big Experimental people a message through bandcamp. Whether they see, or respond, will be the next question.

This Is NOT The End is quite a monumental album. I wrote a review of it: https://pienemmatpurot.com/review-pr...-the-end-2024/

it finally got to my postal mail box yesterday (along with two Cunei Soft Machine sets), and after two spins (in the car), it sounds like yet another Present album (and that's an excellent thing), but couldn't see/hear the "outstandishness" everyone here is claiming

will listen more of course, but on an hi)fi.

I don't own the Live! album (96) to check it out, but is Contre a rework of that then- previously unreleased track?

Well, they actually responded to my bandcamp message, regarding why it isn't available as a download there, but is available to order as a CD there:

"Hi Neil,

Thanks for your message!

Unfortunately we are not the distributors of the digital version of the album.
You can buy this version on:
Amazon
Itunes
Qobuz
Tidal

Hope it works for you!

Sophie"

Qobuz and Tidal are streaming services and Itunes and Amazon won't let me download the files in Canada, last time I tried. So, if it shows up on youtube (which they usually do, and yes, there it is), I can rip it off of there....and send them no money, which I would rather do. CDs, unless I buy them in person, are too expensive for this lowly Canadian and his crappy Canadian dollar value.

Seems to be available as a download from Qobuz.

As you quoted my review link I have to ask what is this "outstandishness" that you are referring to?
