Already pre-ordered the physical version even though the digital version is free as always. So excited for the July 2 release, I just know that this is going to be one of the best electronic albums of the year.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCYmiJNrZZM

I hope it's different than his past albums. Every song of his is so similar and he's so talented that I'm sure he'd do a fantastic job mixing the genre up a bit.

Well for this album he experimented with his process so his album is probably going so unique stuff with the classic vibe

Very excited for this!
Can't even believe how talented Derek Vincent Smith is.
Probably going to pre-order the LP in the next week or so.

I'm so excited to hear this album. I respect how he went about making it too, making his own vinyl to sample

This is a must watch for any PL fans. I think it's pretty funny, but strangely inspiring.

Welp, It's leaked... Very unfortunate but also very exciting. I've heard people say it's like every one of his albums all into one

This album is an absolute masterpiece! The documentary made me appreciate it even more. This album represents the fact that electronic music is more than just hitting a button.

Absolutely agree, the whole process is astounding. What I find amazing is how he used all techniques and equipment that were available in the 60's and 70's, yet still created something fresh and unique. After listening to the whole album several times I'm confident that this is the best creative work of music I've heard in recent years.
