Anyway, I hope it comes out in September but I would prefer May 3rd.

If he doesn't get a record label, I hope he's not scared to put it out himself.

Just sell it on your website, Lindsey. For us not to get this stuff would be a crime. This can't be shelved like GOS I was.

I was afraid that they wouldn't want cameras because they were taping this, but actually, they probably wanted this on Youtube. They want this out there to help get a label. Lindsey's people are probably on Youtube watching how many hits these videos get, so they can use those stats when they are shopping this record.

I just want to say that I love everything I have seen on this thread. Everything. My genius bb never fails me. I'm of course not thrilled that I live in the freaking midwest and have a demanding job that requires my undivided attention this month, because believe me I would have been there. Michele, Elle, Pattie, CADreaming...what would we do without all of you (and others I didn't mention, my apologies) sharing this with us? The incredible recap, the videos, the freaking MP3...I love my LB fans, ugh.

I am thrilled. I will be certain to put on my traveling boots in September because this is going to be epic. Lindsey Buckingham is an American treasure and all of us who love and adore his immense talent are fortunate to be able to know of his existence/see him live in person/buy his music. It's just too great. He's one of those one-of-a-kind artists. Look, marvel, bask in all of the greatness that he exudes because he's one artist you won't find another of, period.

Thank you and I'm out.

I agree with all of this. Especially bummed that I missed it since Wed night I ended up getting beaten up and spent wed/thurs in an emergency room--all the time thinking: I shouldn't be here; I should have gone to California! But I digress: not sure to what mp3s you are referring...

Yes, elle, michelle, etc. these recaps and youtube clips are treasures in and of themselves. Thank you all for this and so much else.

Based on the necessary limitations of cameraphones and YouTube, the two tracks that most strike me are 1) "End of Time" which I think is gorgeous and totally seductive melody--and he's right, it IS the end of time: I can FEEL it; and 2) "Stars Gone Crazy" which absolutely made me well up with emotion--which strangely synchronizes with my current existential angst.

I'm so sorry to hear you were beaten. I wish you'd been here too, or any place but where it happened. Please have a speedy recovery.

CADreaming made an MP3 of Stars. That's what the post referred to.

Here are the mp3's. Missing "Seeds We Sow". Hopefully we'll have that tomorrow. Thanks again, Pattie!

Terrific! Thank you for the MP3s.

IMO, some of these sound UTS-like (i.e. "take the musical idea of "Say Goodbye" and run with it"), but I hear the beginnings of a great new album here.

Very excited for the fall.

Thank you for the good word. Hate to bring that kinda personal info here but figure it's the perfect conclusion to the cautionary tale about the Lindsey tickets. I wish I had gone, but as all things in life, there were blessings: my best friend is in town so I had someone to take care of me these last few days and... now to hear to new Lindsey songs makes me count my blessings twice as much.

Thank you, CADreaming for these Mini Seeds.

We should start a thread assembling the tracklist as with In Your Dreams. That proved a fun way for everyone to play detective and share updates in anticipation of what was a far-off release date. We've got 7 tracks down.

loving all of them, although stars not that much. but the other 4 are so great, i don't know which one to listen to first

[TrueFaith77]

I think the songs sound very much like extensions of the work he was doing on Gift of Screws.

And as with that album, I keep wishing this were part of a Fleetwood Mac album.

Lindsey's on fire.

Stars was my favorite when I left the concert Friday, but since I've been listening to these, I think I like "In Our Own Time" best. However, that's a shade of distinction that means little. I love End of Time, Stars and In Our Own Time all very much.

I'm so/so on Illumination, but I do like the rather sinister start, "I've got a bad reputation and you've got something to hide." Makes me feel all film noir-y.

Illumination makes me think of Fritz. It's got a '60's psychedelic feel.

Btw, I didn't like the sound, so here's a new file: http://www.sendspace.com/file/20d18r


I had the gain or something too low. Some of the other audiophiles like Brandon can probably doctor these up better....

You must have ESP! I was just listening to POI and thought the sound was too low. I thought it was from my file. You did a fine job with these MP3s! Thank you so much!
Yes, POI has a 60s feel for sure. I love it! Sounds like some group but I can't think of the name of it right now.
Oh and Seeds We Sow has been converted but my internet is not working right now. If it comes up I'm going to try to upload it asap.

it's interesting how we all have different favorites and listen to different things in a song. when i left the concert my favorites were Illumination and The way love goes. although i felt a little strange that songs that i liked the most did not sound to me like a typical LB. when i started listening to Pattie's videos i thought i liked In our own time the best and was pleasantly surprised that what i managed to capture on video was that song... now in our own time and the way love goes are my definite favorites with illumination following close, although i do like the other two also, and i think that Stars sounds the most like typical LB stuff he's been doing in the last 10 years...

but what i listen to is mostly how the music/rhythm sounds, and barely register the words unless they are really great or really in-your-face horrible... from your description of the songs, i think you pay more attention to words and that's probably why we have different favorites.

good thing he gave us 6 songs all at once so we all love some of them

actually, after sleeping on all the excitement, i have to admit that no matter how much i liked UTS and GOS, before friday i believed he peaked with 2001 GoS 1, and that he'd never write again something that good. so, i'm so happy to be a fan at this time and feel privileged to even know this is happening. my expectations were so much lower and i just LOVE this group of songs and think they are unbelievable! like TrueFaith said - Lindsey's on fire!
