Hey

Thanks to our partners at BandCamp and their updated settings, you can now stream the entire albums up to three times for free.

This is very exciting news for us and also, we hope, for you.

Raoul Bjorkenheim / eCsTaSy
"Out Of The Blue"

We hope that this allows you to hear if you would like to buy something while still allowing us to sell you something.

Thanks for your interest!

^ The three plays thing is a really smart idea. I know I'm more likely to buy stuff if I can hear a good amount of it first. Limiting plays makes total sense though - if you like it enough to stream it more than three times, buy it already.

Thank you. Glad you like it. That was our thinking.

This sounds definitely a good idea, a win-win situation I guess. Thanks for putting this idea forward.

I've often wondered why more musicians don't adopt some tactic like this. Another idea would be to overlay some sonic watermark, such as a spoken word announcement, over the music at several points. You'd still be able to judge whether you liked the music, but you'd have to buy the clean version in order to actually enjoy it.

What a great idea, I'm certainly going to spin these this weekend.

Great!

Some promo copies have this. I've even heard such "voiceover" versions of songs played on the radio!

**zombywoof** · 10-02-2015

Sonar is killer, everyone reading this should have it ordered already.

**NogbadTheBad** · 10-02-2015

On its way.

**thedunno** · 10-03-2015

Pixel i s great too. I think i prefer it over the previous one. A bit short though.

And TPs in this life.....lost for words at the moment.

**zombywoof** · 10-03-2015

How is the TP remaster?

I need to replay Pixel, but I found it overall more eperimental and less song based than the previous.

I've seen this too, and to be honest it was damned annoying. Just hard to pay attention to the music.

... which, surely, is the whole point?

I've only heard one example of this, back in the 60's, when Melbourne radio station 3UZ had some kind of sponsorship arrangement with a fledgling local band. They played the band's single in advance of its release, and most of it was "clean", but in the middle was a short message to the effect that this recording was the exclusive property of 3UZ.

I do not think the new Pixel is more expirimental. Maybe a tad more Jazz and a tad less pop.

In this life sounds great but i have never heard the orginal so I cant comment about the quality of the remaster.

Possibly true, yet the band came down like a fucking storm when I saw them two weeks ago at Victoria here in Oslo - and with an audience predominantly consisting of younger, rock-accustomed folks. It's very difficult to explain the live power of this band and indeed that of Ellen Andrea Wang's presence as performer; they/she must be seen to be believed. I thought both the first two rekkids were great, and I'm getting this one as well.

It's still a wonderful thing to live in Oslo as an enthusiast of contemporary rock/pop/jazz/whatever; Christ, I stumbled into Susanna Wallumrød in the tiny fruit section of my local grocery store just the day before yesterday, having met and spoken a cuppa words to her at a nearby restaurant a week ago, now greeting and smiling... It's quite absurd, really. And you can see brilliant - and brilliantly creative - music performed on a weekly basis here.

**Pontus72** · 10-07-2015

Another idea is to release three tracks as promos. Today you release one song per album on Soundcloud. Perhaps you should go with 3 teasers at diffrent times. Just like singles.

I still have good hope this band will soon expand its touring range a bit into Europe.

Really loved the TP album. Sad I never heard this music in 1989. Bought the bloody Marilion live album instead...
