I really like these vocal tracks, and even the first O1 track had 
vocals on it. This version of Someday is totally different, it is an 
extremely typical Octave One track with vocal from Ann Saunderson on 
top. I personally like the fact that they did put it on there, that is 
what is going to sell it to the audiences outside the underground scene 
and above all, i think that without Blackwater this album would never 
have been made.



Over all, Im looking forward to the release, I certainly won't pass it 
 without a listen. But from the few songs I have heard, as well as the 
recent eps, this release hasn't convinced me that its of quality equal 
to many of 0-1s previous releases, or the RNG releases (the live mix 
on the Mills DVD was incredible). "Perhaps" because the increased 
involvement of Lorne. Lorne was 9 years old when he watched his older 
brothers create Day by Day, it's obvious that the real talent flows 
within the older brothers. I'm not hating, but I just wouldn't put him 
alongside his brothers in terms of having the gift. At least not from 
what I've already heard by him, but maybe he'll surprise me on this 
new releases?  I still really hope Lawrence and Lenny go a few tracks 
alone on this one. I could use some new (old) Octave One ;)


I have not listened to all of Lorne his material but I really do like 
the first 3 KSR releases!

First of all, A warm thank you to lady Adia for posting this! Posts 
like these are what keeps us on the inside track.


 List, your keeping very quiet on this. Follow the link and check out 
the audio samples...


So, What do you all think? I'm kind of on the fence.

Strenghts = It does sound very musical in a larger than life kind of 
way. I like how 0-1 really stab at those synth lines. Some of the 
effects are really interesting.

My two cents:
