More Barnbrook DNA art here

"The design draws inspiration from the elaborate title sequences of early twentieth century cinema, whilst evoking the black-and-white stylistic expressionism of Film noir. "

I really like the new beefed-up "Film One"

I'm looking forward to this release

as a confirmed fan of A Secret Life I'm very intrigued by Violet Bloom, and by ASL parts 7 & 2 and as to what they will sound like, (I hope they don't end up feeling like fragments out of context though).

Mine's arrived today. Haven't had chance to play it yet, but I like the layout with the booklet. Its a bit different to John's 'normal' releases

Got mine today, agree it doesn't look like a "Foxx" release.

Music I can't fault, Foxx just never disappoints.
The Movies however are....erm.....crap!!!

Karborn's is like a really early version of Windows Media players built in effects, really quite shocking how this can be classed as anything other than garbage.
Violet Bloom is another that could be botched together in 5 minutes.

The rest are fair to good.

On the whole I enjoyed listening to DNA and there are some stand-out tracks, Maybe Tomorrow, and Kaiyagura but however hard I try I just can't get my head or ears around A Secret Life.

The DVD is interesting but it'll yonks before I watch them again.

Got mine... love it.

Maybe Tomorrow, Flightpath Tegel and Phantom Lover are all brilliant. Don't care much for the rest though.

Haven't watched the DVD yet - I suspect the more ambient tracks work better with films than on their own.

Pretty much spot on there Alex. Maybe Tomorrow is really catchy and perhaps works better *sans* visuals. Phantom Lover is growing on me although I have to consider it more metadelic.. than the rest.

I can hear a lot of Radioactivity in Maybe Tomorrow...
