Ars Moriendi is the best track imo.

LOVE this album.
and "retrovertigo" is the best ballad ever so props for using it in the title.
the actual choice will be hard!

Very consistent album but Ars Moriendi probably my favorite. The section starting at 2:24 is particularly great

So did I actually. Evocative of a far future crystaline machine god.

So, this will definitely be delayed, and not as exciting as an album of all new material, but still pretty tantalising news.

Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn explains. "But the original demo was never fully realized. It was a DIY four-track tape recording fully self-produced by our naive and wandering minds whilst still learning how to play our instruments and understand songwriting at its most basic level. Not to mention I'm pretty sure we were all virgins at the time — high-strung, bored teenagers with only a limited number of options for where to direct our energy in an impoverished, isolated town."
so dunn is saying that they feel the need to re-record their first demo because... they've gotten laid since they recorded it?
guys, it's 2020, you don't need a reason, if you feel like re-recording your first demo go ahead and do it
