Reply To: Jonathan Coulton as part of the Humble Music Bundle?!
I finally got around to getting this the other day (I didn’t get it immediately because I didn’t have my credit card handy.) I’m somewhat glad I didn’t get around to buying that TMBG album when it came out, so there’s something new for me in the bundle. I already had most of the JoCo stuff of course (maybe not the live tracks) and probably all of the Frontalot tracks (I was excited to notice I didn’t have that album, but then realised it’s probably a best-of compilation. I haven’t checked all the songs yet.) Does anyone know if the album version of OK Go’s ‘This Too Shall Pass’ is supposed to sound like it’s horribly saturating for most of the song, or is that just a problem with the mp3? (it could be, if JoCo accidentally gave them the mono Code Monkey and those crossfaded tracks) I was looking forward to getting to know some of their music, having heard people (JoCo, in particular) raving about their videos, and I was expecting maybe the remixes wouldn’t be all that great, but if that’s now the album version is supposed to sound then I’m very disappointed. 🙁
I haven’t actually listened to much of the rest yet; too much new music, too little time.
I’m glad Humble Bundle are turning torwards music, because I realised I’ve listened to all the soundtracks from the last bundle but haven’t played any of the games yet. I may say ‘too much new music’ but you can never have too much new music. Yay, new music!
