Their forays into mid 90s symphonic trance kitsch kinda ruin the stately cosmic mood for me and their Heroes of Might Magic III synth lines are often too crude and winky to be thoroughly hYpNoTiC. If we're sticking to the same astronomical turf, I prefer Progenie Terrestre Pura.
Anyway, I usually like their stuff well enough while it's playing so I'm a graysayer more than a naysayer.

I feel like they may sound different because they're using different recording software or microphones or something but the music is pretty much as great as ever imho

they're evolving/playing with their own format a bit + some of the riffs are variations from earlier songs. I still love it though

I think I prefer this to the new full-length

this is Chapter 1 of Phase 2 according to their facebook post - was Phase 1 "showing metal fans that dance music exists" and Phase 2 is maybe the other direction?

there's morse code at 41 & 54 seconds but I'm too stupid to get it (HEETU and HEAU ?)

... what are we supposed to do with the morse information this time? (it's an old Russian camera)
― StanM, Saturday, 27 May 2023 09:34 (one year ago) link
I love this band and the new one is just as cosmic as expected though some of the heavier parts makes its way into Deafheaven's transitional stuff, kinda.

I’ve been playing this pretty much nonstop and I absolutely love it. My favourite is ‘Arrival Pt 6’. Does anyone know what the Morse code spells out? By the way, I love the Morse code breakdown in that song!

FYI for anyone wondering: it's after 58 seconds (and again a bit later in the track) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ta-lfOmDmQ
the beep beep beep morse code is KONVAS AVTOMAT, the camera used to make the first images of Earth from outer space
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konvashttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gherman_Titovhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vostok_2
but what are the guitars doing? are they playing another morse code at the same time?
― StanM, Monday, 29 May 2023 15:09 (one year ago) link
I think they’re doing a breakdown to the rhythm of the Morse Code itself. Note that the guitars even ‘stutter’ (through delay/programming) to keep in time with the beeps.
I absolutely love it though. Thanks for translating it, by the way.
