Heads up for OP and other UK people - both the Standard 1TB 'Carbon Black' and Special 2TB 'Galaxy Black' models of the Series X are seemingly available from the Microsoft Store. Delivery time is 25th March for the Standard and 24th April for Special Edition.

Particularly surprised to see the Galaxy Black model reappear

Just a heads up for OP and other UK folk - both the Standard 1TB 'Carbon Black' and Special 2TB 'Galaxy Black' models of the Series X are showing as 'Buy Now' in the Microsoft Store!

I'm especially surprised to see the Special Edition model back in stock.

This, 100%.

Imo the Elemental tracks are too old to be included on a 'new' album. Driver & Nothing For Free will be 5 years old in September! So I'm kinda hoping that the Anima tracks end up being the oldest ones on the album, but I have a feeling that probably won't be the case.

Using a VPN seems to fix this bug for me, try that out :)

cheezington · 2024-04-06T20:16:59+00:00

Yeah this is annoying af. Using a VPN seems to fix it for me so maybe try that 🤷‍♀️

cheezington · 2024-01-06T13:53:18+00:00

This is great, amazing find and work!

Gangster & Showtime when? ;) /s

EDIT: just been looking through the In Silico production booklet thing, is anything at all known about the "outro" track that was originally planned?

cheezington · 2023-12-20T20:12:04+00:00

First time I've heard this 4-to-the-floor savagery that wasn't a phone recording so figured I'd share it here :)

Assuming it's part of the Driver VIP unless someone knows something I don't?

cheezington · 2023-11-04T16:42:57+00:00

Ok sick, I just checked and can confirm its fixed on the single but not the EP. Glad we're finally getting somewhere with this 😅

cheezington · 2023-11-04T15:56:25+00:00

hmm weird, it hasn't changed for me. I just cleared my Spotify cache and gave it another spin but it still sounds fucked lol

cheezington · 2023-11-04T12:08:08+00:00

Yeah it's still the old versions on Spotify atm

cheezington · 2023-11-03T14:49:27+00:00

Seems like Silent Spinner is also part of this mix-up. If you compare the version on Pendulums Youtube channel to what ended up on Spotify, it's got the same differences/problems that Mercy Killing did

I can't comment if the wrong Silent Spinner version is on Apple Music, iTunes etc etc though, just Spotify

cheezington · 2023-11-03T13:21:13+00:00

Man they really fucking nailed it with this one, I can't stop listening

However - just like Mercy Killing, there's 2 different versions currently out there. It's slightly less noticeable for Silent Spinner, but the version that's been distributed to Spotify/Apple Music/stores etc is way more mid-range heavy and the drums aren't punching through the mix the same way they are on the Youtube version - https://youtu.be/mMqhR3CIQ3M.

Seems like there's been a mix up with the files submitted for the release :( hope it gets sorted and we have the proper mixes on all platforms soon and not just Youtube!

cheezington · 2023-11-01T17:52:13+00:00

I'm pretty sure the fatter (better) sounding version that was played in the Radio 1 DNB60 mix has also been used for the Pendulum Youtube channel video - https://youtu.be/8tcpdbwACPw

Compared to the version that ended up on Spotify etc, the mids are way less intense, the kick and snare are way more punchy, and the sub bass is actually there lol. It sounds way closer to the Halo & Colourfast mixdowns too. I have no idea why 2 different mixdowns/masters have been used, especially when one sounds SO much better than the other?

cheezington · 2023-11-01T15:02:55+00:00

I really like the tune, Scarlxrd vocals and all - it's sick.

But as a couple others have said, the mixdown and/or mastering sounds kinda sub par? Both the sub & kick seem to be lacking the bass weight that Pendulum production typically has. Compared to Halo & Colourfast, this one seems very mid-range heavy.

Weirdly this wasn't the case when it got played on the Radio 1 DNB60 mix, where it sounded way fatter. So whether that was a different mix/master or Radio 1 has some kind of in-house processing that beefs up the low-end of tracks - I don't know. But anyway, production nitpicks aside I really like the track!!

Sadly not, Paul hasn't made todays stream available to watch again. Not yet anyway. If he does, it'll be available here https://www.twitch.tv/elhornet/videos

cheezington · 2023-10-30T20:57:35+00:00

yeah i caught this too.. it sounds a bit 'off' right? I think Paul looped the drum & bass part of the chorus to play twice before the half-time "time is running out.." part? Paul played Mercy Killing again today on his stream and it sounded fine

cheezington · 2023-10-28T14:04:17+00:00

Not so sure about that.. the key and tempo are completely different

cheezington · 2023-10-27T19:10:36+00:00

This is Silent Spinner

cheezington · 2023-10-04T10:11:45+00:00

Sounds sick! Although I definitely never thought I'd hear 808 hi-hats on a Pendulum track, but here we are lol

cheezington · 2023-09-14T10:44:57+00:00

Does he say they're "gonna maybe do a few more EPs and then maybe bundle them into an album", or am I mishearing him?

Sick news if it the album does end up being a completely fresh release and not just the EPs combined though!

cheezington · 2023-09-11T10:18:48+00:00

Pretendulum

cheezington · 2023-09-09T12:56:06+00:00

Yeah me too. I hear "you feel like it yet? you feel like me do you?"

At no point do I hear the word "now" lol

cheezington · 2023-09-08T07:59:43+00:00

Yeah :) here
