I have a question, atob: Are the two tracks from the old EP the same tracks? Or have you re-recorded them? I ask because I'm not going to repay for them if it is the latter.

Exactly the same. I'll update the OP to make it clear 100%.

Bought the two new tracks. Let me forward my complaints and compliments about 7digital.


I liked that "continue shopping" brought me back to your page to buy the second track.

I disliked having to log-in and losing my cart suddenly.

I like the options; credit card, paypal, something else. I used Paypal.

I disliked the price, almost. Paying 3$ Canadian for two tracks is a little extravagant, but only by iTunes standards. I'm happy to do it, though. (And it's probably just conversion rates.)

I also disliked that after paying with Paypal, it took two minutes to load the page and told me it had an error. However, clicking the button on the error page that said "try again" sent the order through perfectly (I was only charged once.)

And finally, I like that I had three different formats to choose from. Now, to listen to the music:

The quality of the recording is expectedly good.

Really dig this first track. Especially in what I've decided is the chorus. It has some really great moments of music.

Oh, this is cool. Bridge? Bridge.

Track Two:

More melodic, but it stills feels jarring. In a good way.

This is actually my favorite song of you guys' so far.

Except Eugh. Pinch Harmonics, I think, in this guitar bit. And those irritate me, a bit. But this song is still really strong, because it's such a vocal song, and that is, I think, your defining characteristic.

A worthy purchase.

I'm really looking forward to buy those two songs. I just have to tell my dad, now.

Also, I'm going to advertise this thing :D

Well, we're not happy with 7digital so far. It's a somewhat restricted and unintuitive system, and we'll be moving over to itunes as soon as possible.

77p was the lowest possible sell price (I rounded to 80p just for my OCD). I think that's the same for itunes, but I could be wrong. If we can lower the price in the future, I'll sort out something to compensate anyone who buys these from 7.

Thanks for the feedback Slappy, especially for the site itself. Good to have our suspicions confirmed. And I'm really glad you enjoyed the music. :)

(The pinch harmonics bug me too, if this ever makes it onto an EP or album they'll be long gone.)

Can't wait for this to hit iTunes so I can buy it. Also, a question I've been meaning to ask for a while now: Do you plan on sharing the lyrics to your songs? I'd love to have 'em, if you're cool with giving 'em out.

Hey atob, when your band gets famous, make sure you mention me; the guy who tried to copy all of your other work.

PEACE.
