I'm following this with great interest, trag.

[LetMeSleep]

Dare we hope that Wendy is too?

[WtOB?]

can't wait to hear setting sun (trag's version).

[oneway23]

Trag, you beautiful bastard...

I know this was a pretty decent chunk of work, but, I hope you feel as though it was worth it...lf only to hear that isolated piano track on "Upper Hand."

How great is that?!?

[McParadigm]

Holy shit, would you believe there's actually a piano at the end of Upper Hand?! This is just the isolated surround stem from the outro, but it should give you an idea of what's buried under Ghanea's distorted compression:

Lol, yeah that's the reaction I had too.

You can hear it a couple of times on the record. 5:14-5:30, it comes through here and there.

[Ms Harmless]

wait, you've been missing the piano at the end of Upper Hand?

wait, you've been missing the piano at the end of Upper Hand?

Can hear it, but, to hear it so completely as a part was really fantastic

Yeah. It’s always neat to discover the full texture of the backing parts on a record.

This is the first I heard it. I couldn’t hear it before on any mix version. But maybe that’s just me going deaf.

[chadisme417]

I honest to God believed Trag was all schtick and good fun needling. This is truly impressive. Thank you for the amazing work.

I’ve been surprised to find a lot of simple acoustic guitars holding down the core melody of a song, usually panned dead center and buried under other tracks. This is classic studio songwriter stuff but I’m not sure if PJ has ever employed this approach.

It was great to hear that piano more isolated; I've always been a sucker for rockin' piano jams. Would love for PJ to dabble with that more. Piano could also work well on some existing songs like Sleeping By Myself, Parachutes, Unthought Known, 25 Minutes To Go, Parting Ways, etc...

[Monkey_Driven]

He's doing it for his own ears. Not for any of us.

I love the piano moments in Unthought Known
