Backspacer Verizon Clips

Post by CupidStunt »

As you'll remember, when Backspacer was at a slightly more advanced stage than we are currently with #10, a 10 second clip of each song was released in the lead up to release as part of some stupid ringtone thing for Verizon. Someone even put them all together as one track so we had a 1 min 10 second long preview before finally hearing the full album. That is what I want.

The current developments are leaving me quite nostalgic and I'd like to hear that preview again - for some of the songs I can't even remember which parts were previewed. I remember being quite excited at the time by some of them, particularly Force of Nature and Amongst the Waves.

I wish to reminisce and relive all of that, regardless of what my final opinion of BS is. So in short, does anybody have it?

Oh yeah, see, I thought all of that was dumb. But I'm fine with today. So what the hell do I know?

Don't have the clip but remember hearing ATW and thinking it was going to be awesome. i think it was the last "better loud than to la-ee-ee-ate"
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

yeah, people were so excited for that clip.

I hope we get something similar. we might. This is the START of rolling out the 10th album. It is not the conclusion.

I think this belongs in the speculation thread.

HAHAHA. I always like throwing references to other interests online and seeing if it gets picked up on. I can't believe it's only taken half an hour to get called out by a bleedin' Spud though. Nice to see you mate!

Ha I remember this and miss that process. I actually purchased most of those ringtones, sent them to someone here. He converted them to mp3 for us. And that Gmail account... That was clever.
