Nick's new album: Riven (1st September 2013) - OUT NOW!

Thanks Chris/ Paula,
I've registered for the shop and managed to buy it.

Chris I know you're joking about the price, but you didn't have £2.50 P&P.:wink:

Colin

 

Fuel surcharge I expect.

Riven Art

The artwork for the new CD is..wiiiiiiiide. If you need constant access to the brilliant artwork by Fal and the lyrics that I pored over for at least an hour and 15 minutes, you might find the fold out panorama drama leads to rippage and tearage in the long run. So we're offering a chance to download a replacement cover that you can print out your beautiful selves and save the booklet from the ravages of repeated insertion/removal from the jewel case.

If there is enough interest we will do a poster with the art and lyrics in a larger format, posh paper etc., but for now the download is http://harperspace.com/nick-harper-downloads.html.

 

Ah... that's nice. I'm still playing and working my through the album, in order, shuffled, on my commute to work etc... Riven is a good title for the album, and the track itself sits where it should :wink: There's a theme, and food for thought... I'm still going on with this, there's a lot to take in. :thumbup:

 

On first play through gotta say I'm a bit disappointed. This is not an easy listen. It feels like Nick is trying too hard but there are no "Beautiful" songs here. Maybe its a grower.

 

Hey all, back from the States and really meaning to post more thoughts on this album, but in the meantime Tom Robinson played "There Never Was" on his 6 Music show last night (Sat 5/10) and seems really excited about Riven - so YAY! The pertinent bit starts about 27 minutes in...

Marko started a discussion about Riven on my FB page - will see if he minds my copying his post here (can't remember if he's on this board?)...
