Seven Seas Download + YouTube link

If you've ordered The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon you've probably already received the download of Seven Seas [transformed, their word for it}. For everyone else, here's the YouTube link:

Mrs FC says he sounds more in tune than usual. The gruff lonely 'tortoise shell' in the middle made me chuckle out loud. My prediction for the general Villiers terrace' concensus would be, 'ah, its the mac solo version, i get it now'. On the positive, better than i expected. Right, I'll get my coat.

Bbc 6 music gave it a play this morning as well, sounded ok I guess. Certainly not better than the original and yes more like a Mac solo version.

yeah I was listening to 6 music this morning and could see "new music from EATB " on the DAB display. Sadly it's a sunny day here and I was going out for a nice ride. Back home and gonna have a listen

They made it sound like a "new" album containing just 2 brand new tracks is something that everyone should applaud :confused:

Let's not forget, Mac never did it for you...

Sounds like his OCD talking. But as an artist, he has every right. Not that it means he's right every time. Because this isn't better. It's not better than the original nor the Peel session. I appreciate it's a different take but not sure I like it.

I agree, sounds like a McCulloch solo effort. I wonder how much Sergeant input there is on the track (album).

Wonder how the new record label view it, and could they be dropped again ?

It's different than I was expecting although I can't really verbalize what I was expecting. It's interesting that the original has an uptempo feel and they chose to go a bit downtrodden on this one.

I did think the reworkings on his solo 'Holy Ghosts' album were successful...But, this one doesn't seem to pass the threshold....I also don't understand what we're listening to since the album was postponed...Is this the rejected reworking, or a re-reworked version?...Touring ahead of an album release is also odd.

Whilst it does sound very nice, sort of music you’d find in a tropical hotel’s lift, or elevator. Are they going for the sit down at the Piano with Mac vibe?
I’d also like to ask, how many overdubs, and how much reverb is on Mac’s vocals? They won’t be able to do that live?

Most importantly why does this track sound like someone trying to learn how to play Seven Seas? Did Mac forget the chords? Or was he trying to describe them?
